For what it's worth, this is probably a good sign!

My first pregnancy was lost at 5 weeks and nearly from conception I had horrible back pain, felt like I'd done 1,000 crunches, had period like cramps on and off etc. I was still surprised when I lost it, though. I assumed havoc of the body was normal. And it -can- be.

With my current pregnancy I felt mild bloating, some breast tenderness and was very sensitive to odors...but that was it for the first 9 weeks. I also worried I felt too good!

The nausea came in the 9th week, but it was off and on and other symptoms went away. The increased smell was gone, my breasts didn't hurt much, my belly was flat as a pancake and no longer bloated. I worried SO much.

...and here I am at 21 weeks with a healthy boy kicking away!

Anyway. I hope that re-assures you somewhat. It's true what they say, we're all different, but for me less symptoms signaled a healthier pregnancy.

Best of luck to you xo

Awwww thank you so much and Im thrilled to hear youre lil guy is ok. Im very superstitious and I had a really weird dream that I discussed with my mother. Let me know if you want me to tell you about it, its kinda creepy.

I hope it just means it will be a non fussy baby, as my husband says he and his sister were to his mother during pregnancy. He says she was completely symptom free until labor and had contractions for MINUTES then delivered two big normal healthy twins LOL

The back pain im beginning to feel is different than last times. Last time it kinda felt like sciatic pain times infinity. Right now, it just feels like my back lower bones are expanding.

I am getting nausea like every other day, not daily.
