Symptoms of Pregnancy

Q. I am six weeks pregnant and other than feeling a bit tired I don't have any symptoms. Is that okay?

A. When you hear about pregnancy you usually hear about all thise lovely first trimester symptoms. You imagine yourself with your head stuck in a toilet bowl for the first few months. The truth is that there are women who never feel ill during their pregnancies and that may be normal for them. Others do not start feeling the symptoms until they reach six or seven weeks. The only time to be concerned with not having symptoms is if they sudddenly disappear in the first trimester.
