Nausea and hot flushes early on

I am only 4 weeks today (bfp yesterday). I had been feeling off for a couple days which prompted me to test. Last night, I had insomnia, major hot flushes and waves of nausea throughout the night. Did anyone else experience that so early?? With my other pregnancies, I only started to feel sick around week 6 and no hot flushes at all. Insomnia not until third tri. I am worried it means something is wrong. The BFP yesterday was not very strong at all...going to ask for a blood test today. I read that early nausea can be a sign of Down's? Anyone get v. early nausea and have a healthy babe?

I had nausea starting at week four (still happening, unfortunately) and I think the hot flashes are just the surge of hormones. That's great that you're going for a blood test! I'm sure everything is good. Our bodies kick into overdrive once we are pregnant!

I got hot flushes literlly after conception, now 25 weeks preg
That was a sign for me to question if im preg, got nausea : sickness around 7/8 weeks.
I thought v early nausea meant multiple preg
Good luck

Yay huge congrats!

Yes all those things are normal and every pregnancy is different. Try not to worry about things like nausea = Downs. That's really not in any way a reliable thing to stress over. There are people on here all the time who have nausea even like 7 DPO and go on to have a normal healthy pregnancy. Multiples is by far more likely than Downs (and even multiples is not very likely!)

As for the hot flushes I think the more pregnancies you've had and the older you are, the more likely this is. With my last pregnancy at 41/42 hot flashes and dizziness were my main early pregnancy signs - I never had them with any other pregnancy - and this is something people report to me often, is that they have them crop up when they never did before.

Thanks for the reassurance. I also have a lot of dizziness which is new to me. It was one of the reasons I tested, I was getting dizzy spells just standing still which I've never had happen before.

Interesting about the hot flushes - at least I know what to look for in menopause. 😜 DH is so shocked to hear me say I feel warm...I'm always cold!

I really have been very tempted to start a menopause site for all of us to get together and have this kind of community (since I'm about to start the process myself, LOL) I have had a couple hot flushes and they are NO FUN. :)

The dizzy thing was also a huge shock to me, very scary!! Luckily it went away after maybe 7-8 weeks.
