Question

Are symptoms stronger with a successful pregnancy?

We’ve been trying for 2 years to have baby number 4. With the other 3 children I fell very quickly. This time round I’ve had 2 early miscarriages (4 weeks) and a miscarriage at 7 weeks.
I’m now pregnant again but this time I have quite strong symptoms. With the pregnancies that ended in miscarriage there were no real symptoms.
Are strong symptoms early on a good sign that all will be well ?

Sorry you've had a bumpy road getting here. We are also trying again for #4 after miscarrying at 14 weeks mid last year. I don't think symptom strength means anything though. With all of my pregnancies, I don't have near any symptoms until about 6 weeks. And then even after that, they end around 8-9 weeks (which always freaks me out). When I miscarried at 14 weeks, everything looked great at the 12 week scan, and I had had some pretty bad morning sickness weeks 6-9; so it's really hard to say how any pregnancy can end up. Try not to put too much thought into symptoms, and enjoy being pregnant! :) Congratulations

I'm pregnant with twins and have zero symptoms(unless you count being tired and hungry a lot). When I was pregnant with my son I had no symptoms too(again unless you count being tired and hungry a lot) but I feel no different this pregnancy than I did with my son or with my miscarriage... actually with my miscarriage I had a lot of heartburn right away.

I’m sorry for your losses :-((
Last night I started bleeding with some cramps. I was sure it was game over but then this morning the bleeding had stopped. I took another hpt and the line had darkened.
I’m not convinced that this is going to be a successful pregnancy though. Will just take one day at a time I guess

I just wanted to pop in and say I know how you feel. We have been trying for 3 years for baby #4. I had two mc in the three years. I had a faint positive two days ago, but im not going to believe it until the line is darker. Hang in there.

Coelh102 I’m so sorry I didn’t even congratulate you on your pregnancy with twins!! I have been totally self absorbed the last few days!
Oooh Scarlettmoon am very excited for you! I bought a stash of tests from poundworld earlier and the line is getting progressively darker. My symptoms are still hanging around which gives me hope.

I don't think symptoms matter honestly. I had symptoms for my 2,3,4 child but not my 1st. 1st was a boy and others were girls. only symptom I had was morning (ok all day) sickness. my 2 miscarriages I was tired and sick
