Don't have early symptoms of pragnancy?

I'm nearly four weeks pregnant and am not experiencing the early symptoms I've been reading about: breast swelling and tenderness, nausea, and so on. Should I be concerned?


You're right that the symptoms of early pregnancy include breast swelling, nipple tenderness, nausea, and fatigue. While the onset of these symptoms is highly variable, most women notice them earlier with their first pregnancy, typically starting four weeks after conception. If you have already had one or more children, especially if you breast-fed them, then you probably will not experience the breast-related symptoms at this point in your pregnancy.

I understand that you are concerned by the lack of symptoms. You probably know someone who felt great until she found out that all was not well with the pregnancy. Keep in mind that while mishaps do occur, the odds are in your favor that this is a healthy pregnancy and you should approach it as such. Look at this as a blessing and enjoy the fact that you feel so well. Remember, it probably won't last; you will probably be miserable soon enough and just wishing you could feel normal again!

Wishing you health,
