Hi, I am 8 weeks pregnant with my fourth baby. My 3 previous pregnancies were all boys and I suffered from hyperemesis from 4 weeks till I gave birth.
I haven't been sick once yet and am really worried the baby might have died or I'm not pregnant!! I have done countless tests just to check I am still pregnant!!
I know all pregnancies are different, but I feel so well I cant believe it!
My scan is in 2 weeks time and I have no medical reason for it to be brought forward, but would love some reassurance that this is normal for me?
Thanks in advance Jen
Hi,

The signs and symptoms of pregnancy vary from pregnancy to pregnancy and woman to woman, indeed some women do not get any symptoms at all and don't realise they're pregnant.

The fact that you have had 3 healthy pregnancies before should offer you reassurance as your body knows what it is doing.

Kind regards
Alison

I am Soniya took infertility treatment since last 6 months.Yesterday I checked my urine and it shows positive pregnancy.But the problem is I have bleeding since last 7 days.So I thought it is my menestrual cycle and I took Tab Letoval on the " nd day of my bleeding. Yesterday only I came to know I am pregnant. Is there any side effects for this medicine? Is any side effect for my child . LMP-17-10-09 and bleeding started again on 13-11-09
Hi Soniya,
I am afraid i am not really familiar with the drug you mentioned.
All drugs in pregnancy carry some risk of side effects, that is why we very rarely use them.
I would make an appointment to see your GP/Gynaecologists to discuss the matter further.
kind regards
Alison
