Preggo Symptoms (Or Lack There-Of)

Two of the girls I work with are also pregnant and today we were having a quiet chat about the pregnancy niggles and symptoms we've been having. I say quiet because we're all under 12 weeks, we're keeping schtum about our babies until our scans. In fact one of them is due the same day as me! :D At least I'll have some baby buddies when Noodle is here!

Anyway the girls were having a chat about how they're feeling really tired all the time and constantly running to the loo for a pee or how they can't stand the smell of perfumes or certain foods and they're having heartburn plus many other weird and wonderful things. To be honest I sat there feeling a little out-of-the-loop. I don't have these symptoms.

Apart from the CONSTANT need to pee and a slight crampy feeling (which I'm assured is normal and just muscles stretching) there's no heartburn, morning/noon/night sickness, no aversion to certain foods (in fact it's quite the opposite, I have the appetite of a horse!), I can still wear my lovely perfume I got for Christmas and I'm actually quite perky most of the time.

I have the occasional mood swing, but c'mon what woman doesn't?? I have been slightly more irritable about small niggling things, like Scott munching mint imperials in bed!! Grr! I hate crunching when I'm trying to sleep!

And there's been a little bit of back pain, but nothing so serious I would put it down as being a pregnancy symptom, I just figure it's down to me being on my feet all day.

I suppose I should be lucky I'm not one of the women who get barraged with every symptom going and ends up being bed-ridden for most of their pregnancy. But it would be nice to "feel" pregnant. Even a little bit of morning sickness or heartburn would assure me that our little Noodle is actually there and growing.

I have been told by many people that every pregnancy is different and not everyone gets symptoms, one friend didn't have any during her first pregnancy and she had a beautiful healthy girl. So I am confident everything is okay, but it would be nice to feel something....
