Just hit 4 weeks and barely feeling anything yet, which is making me a little anxious actually. Is it normal to not have many symptoms this early? curious what others felt.
Scientifically, the blastocyst is just implanting into the uterine wall around week 4. My doctor explained that you might experience light implantation spotting, which is totally normal. Start your folic acid immediately if u haven't already.
Honestly, u might not feel anything at all, and that's completely normal. Some women get mild fatigue or sore breasts, but don't panic if u feel totally fine. Just take a home test to confirm and book your first gynac appointment.
You might feel some bloating, mood swings, or absolutely nothing since it's very early. While online forums can give u an idea, every body reacts differently to hormones. It's best to consult your gynac to start your prenatal vitamins.
In the 4th week, your period would be just about due, so u might feel mild cramping or breast tenderness. It feels very similar to PMS, so it's easy to get confused. Sending u lots of good vibes!
At week 4, the body is silently working so hard to build the placenta, which explains why u might feel extremely tired. I remember feeling wiped out even before my test came positive. Just rest well and take it easy on your body.
This is the time to start planning your finances because doctor consultations and basic blood tests will start soon. You don't need expensive scans right away, just a basic home test first. Save up for the 1st trimester ultrasound which happens around the 7th-8th week.
