Q: Pregnant But Absolutely No Symptoms

I took a pregnancy test a few weeks ago and it came back positive -- but I have no symptoms -- can pregnancy tests be wrong? Or am I just one of the lucky ones with no symptoms yet? I guess I am about 6 weeks pregnant and have read where people are already showing - I haven't gained a pound! Thanks - its my first pregnancy and we have been trying for months and months and I think I am just paranoid something is going to go wrong or I am really not pregnant

Congratulations!!! I think you are probably just one of the lucky ones with no symptoms yet! I'm trying to get pregnant and have never been pregnant before so i'm not an expert at this! My cousin has two kids and her first pregnancy she was sick a lot. Her second one she wasn't sick at all and had no problems! So be glad! Have you been to the doctor yet? Good luck to you!

If you are about 6 weeks pregnant, it's highly possible that you aren't having any symptoms yet, other than a missed period. You may not get "morning sickness" (which can occur day or night) and it may be a while before you begin "showing", depending on your body and the baby. You do need to see your doctor as soon as possible. He or she will give you another pregnancy test and after an exam, will start you on prenatal vitamins. With my first child, I had no symptoms either, other than missed periods, for several months and then I doubled in size, seemingly overnight, and delivered an 8# 10 oz. Perfectly healthy boy, and went home from the hospital a few days later only 5 pounds heavier than my pre-pregnancy weight. My doctor then believed that a lot of it had to do with age and muscle tone. Congratulations to you. Enjoy every minute of this time.

And also, I haven't heard of a false positive pregnancy test. (that doesn't mean it can't happen though). If you haven't already, i'd go to the doctors and get a blood test.
