Hey guys! I just found out I was preggy this week and as of today I am 4 weeks and 5 days! I had a m/c back in June so I feel VERY nervous this time around. I had symptoms prior to testing such as fatigue, headaches, bloating, and at times, achy breasts and urinating more. It seems like as soon as I took the HPT my symptoms starting fading a bit. I still get a little tired and I might get a headache every now and then but it's just not as strong feeling. This scares me so bad and I just need some encouraging words! Is this normal?

Congratulations!!
Yes, it's normal. Your symptoms may bounce back and forth for a while before they totally go away. Some of us have no symptoms at all. Count your blessings!!

You are normal! Take more time to rest, your body needs this. Talk to your doctor about anything to take to help with the headaches and achiness. Just wait until the cravings kick in! Take your vitamins and blah blah blah. Most of all, enjoy this time and hope you are getting pampered at home. Hugsssssssss.

Congrats! :)
Yes, it is normal... for most women, pregnancy symptoms are strong in the beginning and then often fade.

Its completely normal, and as for you feeling like you should "feel more pregnant" most women don't feel "true symptoms" until around 6-8 weeks or so... so I wouldn't worry. First trimester really sticnks because you don't really feel pregnant per say, just sick and bloated, its kind of like PMS on steroids until around 12-14 weeks, and even then, you probably won't feel trully pregnant until either you feell the baby move (anywhere between 16-20 weeks depending on if its your first child or not) or you see it on an ultrasound (most likely at 20 weeks unless you are labelled high risk or the doctor requests it)
