Hello Girls, my name is Jenna I am 24 and just found out I am expecting! My due date is also estimated to be July 20th. I have to say I am a little worried because I am in my 5/6 week and besides my nipples being just a tiny sore and a couple "gagging" incidents, All the books that I have read say that my boobs should be really sore and I should have horrible morning sickness. I already have a fear of miscarriage and the fact that I have no real pregnant symptoms makes me worry. Should I be worrying about this or am I just a freaked out first time mommy to be?

It sounds to me like you are a freaked out mommy to be. Many women never have morning sickness or really sore boobs, let alone so early on in pregnancy. For now, just try to relax and enjoy being symptom free, all of a sudden they could start and you'll be wishing you only had slightly sore boobs and gagging.

Congratulations!!!!

Honey, you have the FirstTime Mom jitters. It'll be okay. The internet (and friends, and moms, and so forth...) has a lot of scary stories and terrible things to watch and hear and....relax! Best person to trust: your doctor. You're lucky not to have any symptoms! This doesn't mean there's anything wrong with you. I had absolutely no symptoms, I didn't start showing till I was seven months, I went to the ER about a million times because I thought something was wrong...again, relax. Every person's body handles pregnancy differently. Enjoy the freedom of not having to hang above a toilet for two thirds of your day. Good luck!!!

Throw the books away!!!!!!!! Put them in the trash and step away from the can!!!! I, too, had no symptoms in my first pregnancy and felt like the luckiest woman on the planet. With this pregnancy I am having the nausea and the sore boobies and just wishing that I could do my first pregnancy all over again because it was so easy. I wouldn't worry about not having the symptoms and since the books are freaking you out I would definitely put them away. Congratulations on your pregnancy!
