Cessation of Pregnancy Symptoms?

Hi Everyone,

I found out last week that I am pregnant for the second time. I thought that I had eaten something to upset my stomach, missed my period, and have taken 4 positive pregnancy tests (yes, 4, haha!). So, it turned out that I was about 5 weeks along according to my LMP. For a week I felt pregnant - nausea, food aversions, exhaustion. Then, just as suddenly as it began, my symptoms seem to have stopped. (I should be 6 weeks now). The only remaining symptom is the heavy sleep and funny dreams that I have while pregnant. Otherwise I feel great - I have more energy, can eat anything, and my son threw up on me the other day and it did not even phase me! Granted, with my first pregnancy I had very little morning sickness. I never threw up, only gagged a lot, but I did have a lot of aversions to tastes and smells. I know that every pregnancy is different, but I'm worried. I have a doctor's appointment scheduled for later this month, but I'm wondering if this is a big deal and I should go in sooner. I have had no bleeding or cramping whatsoever, other than a little discomfort from what seems to be gas (sorry for the TMI). Has anyone else had this happen? Thanks in advance!

What can I do next?

Absolutely. And I have two friends who are pregnant right now (2nd and 3rd trimesters) and they had the same thing happen to them. I know it's nerve wracking but from what I understand, TOTALLY normal.

my first pregnancy i felt no different except in the last trimester when i started getting big. my second i was sick through the entire pregnancy and def. knew i was pregnant, my third i had a little morning sickness but wasnt bad at all compared to my second. every one is different

Yeah, I lost my symptoms twice in the first tri, but they always came back with a vengeance a week or so later. lol. I'm now in my third tri, and everything's going great. Just did the glucose test, in fact (ew). Don't worry!

If you are concerned, take another pregnancy test. The lines should come fast and dark by this stage. Anything other than that, I would contact the doctor.
