Fading Symptoms?

Tomorrow I will be 9 weeks pregnant already! Time is starting to fly by for sure! For the past few weeks, I've been struggling with some major nausea and fatigue, but today, I actually woke up feeling pretty normal.

*Begin obsessive behavior*

It's so crazy. I've been going crazy with these symptoms, hating the nausea and just begging to feel better. Then when I wake up feeling better, I start to obsess and worry that something has gone wrong. /sigh. My boobs have been crazy sore for weeks, but suddenly the past few days, I don't notice them as much. They are definitely not as sore as they have been, but if I push on them or hug myself tight, I can still feel a little tenderness.

Am I insane for analyzing my symptoms? I figured most people usually start to see their symptoms fade after the first trimester, but I'm still weeks away from the second trimester. Is it normal for some women to start to see their worst symptoms fade already at 9 weeks pregnant?

Of course, I realize that I could just be having a rare good day, lol. It's totally possible that I will wake up tomorrow feeling like poop all over again. I guess I should take this as a present and just enjoy feeling great for a while. I will feel incredibly lucky and blessed if my symptoms are fading but the baby is totally healthy. Win-win.

Monday we will get to see the sweet Baby Bittmann again on an ultrasound. Our appointment is at 3:30 in the afternoon, and I absolutely can't wait. Hopefully the fading symptoms don't mean anything is wrong! I'm going to just stay positive and pray that all is well. In the meantime, if any of you starting feeling some fading symptoms around 9 weeks or so, let me know so I can stop obsessing so much!

  1. Don't be scared. Early in my pregnancy (can't remember exactly but 9 weeks sounds about right) I remember having a good day or two and getting worried over it, but the symptoms would then come back. Hopefully for you all is well and this isn't just a day or two break but a real abatement of symptoms. I'm at 18 weeks and still nauseous as heck...someone's got to balance me out to make the average the end of the first trimester, right...lol... :)

  3. The symptoms shift and fade, even during the 2ww. It is normal and nothing to panic about. A lot of those very early pregnancy symptoms are from high levels of progesterone that are needed because the placenta isn't making any, there is a point where the placenta starts to kick in, and that's when the symptoms are really from the baby and not from your body's reaction TO it. I remember with my twins that I had a couple of weeks between the first and second trimester where I felt faaantaaastic...then the crap hit the fan. :) Hang in there, sweetie.
