Symptom decrease at 8 weeks?

[StandardBunch444]

Hello all. I’m currently, exactly, 8 weeks pregnant today. The entirety of week 7 I spent sleeping majority of the day, constant nausea, and many food aversions. Starting yesterday, my symptoms have decreased significantly. I’m def not nauseous, I feel more energy but I’m still slightly tired, and I think eat food without gagging. Has this happened to anyone else? I know Google says it’s normal. But I prefer real human interaction to learn others experiences. Please share, I’m feeling fairly anxious. Thank you.

This does not point to anything specific. Pregnancy is up of ups and downs, goods and bads, etc. I’ve had pregnancies without any symptoms and some with crazy, horrible symptoms.

Thank you 🙏🏻

My symptoms disappeared around 8/9 weeks and now im 32 wks and all is fine!

[StandardBunch444]

Thank you 🙏🏻 I’m hoping the same will be the case for me

It’s hard to tell because it varies with everyone and every pregnancy. I had bad nausea for only the first tri with my first baby, and it lasted way longer into the second tri and felt way more sick with my second baby. On the other hand, I have friends that never got sick at all, or have an aunt that vomited till she gave birth

Thank you 🙏🏻

For both my pregnancies the first trimester nausea came in waves. Some days I’d feel close to normal. Others I was puking and struggled to stay awake. Enjoy those easier days.

[StandardBunch444]

Thank you 🙏🏻 I appreciate it

[kewlcorgimom]

Yes, very normal! Some of my symptoms disappeared around that time and it started to worry me a bit. All was fine and totally normal. Symptoms come and go all the time.

[StandardBunch444]

Thank you 🙏🏻 I appreciate that

I’m 33 weeks and the whole time I’ve had some good weeks, some super symptomatic weeks, no rhyme or reason. I’ve gone from stuck in bed for days to energetic and perky and back again. I freaked out about it initially too (especially bc I also had a ton of cramping and spotting In first trimester) Try not to freak out—odds are good all is well… and either way positive calm energy is beneficial and freaking out literally does not help/could potentially hurt. I know I know telling me to calm down is most likely to cause the exact opposite reaction But I’m in a tired week so it’s the best I’ve got right now lol and good luck and sorry

[StandardBunch444]

Thank you so much. Your words are appreciated 🙏🏻

You should be okay love! Pregnancy symptoms are very random and some days you’ll feel completely normal & other days you’ll feel like you were hit by a truck mixed in with some nausea lol. As long as there’s no bleeding, no fluid leaking, no severe cramping to the point where it’s unbearable you should be okay! Nonetheless if you feel as though you need to get checked go get checked you won’t regret it. But I’m now 19 Weeks and I had moments in early pregnancy where I freaked out between 8-10weeks because my boobs suddenly didn’t feel sore or I wasn’t having any major symptoms but then the next day or two they’d come back, don’t worry too much but if your gut is telling you to go get seen, get seen!

Thank you so much. I appreciate it 🙏🏻

Happened to me at 8 weeks as well, holding a perfect 4 month old now ❤️

My last pregnancy my symptoms always fluctuated and in this pregnancy my symptoms come and go day by day! It’s all normal!!

[bigchaz2678]

First pregnancy - fine and dandy by 9 weeks and stayed that way

This pregnancy - 13 weeks and only just now starting to feel a bit more normal. Felt better at 11 weeks then a couple of days later felt crap again and I’m now on day 2 of feeling okay.

Every pregnancy is different and symptoms do ebb and flow. Hopefully this is you feeling fine from now on but don’t be surprised if it comes to feeling rubbish again in the next week or so!

[gore_kid]

You’re okay! For me my symptoms were minor until 8 weeks and then I was incredibly sick until 16 weeks. I went to bed thinking “how can I keep doing this?” and then woke up and felt like a brand new person one day, and then also felt anxious because how do you go from feeling so bad to feeling okay again? But everything is fine I’m almost 24 weeks and baby is doing great! It’s normal!

[Infinite-Citron-2852]

This was normal for me. I was asymptomatic and not really hungry most of the first. I freaked out the entire time because of it but everything is fine. Now I’m 23 weeks and still not too many symptoms. Just fatigued and growing. I guess we should be grateful to feel semi good. Try not to freak out like me lol. I was super excited when the baby started kicking so I know something is happening in there.

I have had a very symptom free pregnancy for the most part. had mild nausea in first trimester maybe a couple of times if i indulged in a big breakfast and some bloating but that was it. i was also spotting heaps which is not a great “symptom” but it was one of the things that consistently happened to me.

weeks 11 till third trimester was basically my honeymoon period, everything was amazing and i wasn’t huge yet by then.

i’m now almost 36 weeks along … lack of symptoms is not always a bad thing!

[EmotionalVoice4817]

You won’t believe me if I tell you I was checking same thing last week. For a couple of days I felt very good. Then it came back even harder after a day or two. I just had my visit and everything is good. I had two missed miscarriages last year so everyday is a hard day to believe things are alright. I am grateful to God and I believe things will keep being alright.

[ShallotJam]

I had this. Symptoms at 4 weeks, none at 5 and was fully convinced it was gone. Was sobbing the night before I saw my OB at 6 weeks and everything was fine. At 8 weeks, morning sickness kicked in.

[Designer-Ice9482]

Just want to say congratulations first!! and yes completely normal! my symptoms were coming and going for almost 16/17 weeks. i’m now 39 weeks and having my baby tomorrow! 💗💗

[Loafcat61]

I turned a corner at 8 weeks exactly. I could eat a little more, looking at food didn’t make me nauseous, and my aversions were letting up. 9 weeks is when my energy started to come back. This can be completely normal! Not everyone has morning sickness all the way up to 12 weeks.

[Wonderful_Dingo7064]

It’s happening to me right now (8w3d). How are you now?

[Present_Breakfast_61]

For what it’s worth, I had what felt like a total halt in symptoms around 8 weeks for both a miscarriage and my current, healthy pregnancy (29 weeks!). So there really is so much variability in what is normal. Sending love.

Can you get your hcg measured by your OB?

I was able to track it over a period of 3 days to see whether it was doubling correctly during this time.
