Questions & Answers

Hi all!

Due Aprill 11th here! While I am just over 5weeks and I have not yet experienced morning sickness (fingers crossed) I have the worst constipation EVER! I am doing everything to beat it. Today alone I had 3 full cups of prune juice and 1 full cup of beans!!!! It's going to be a LONG 9 months!

Aside from trying to fix the above complaint things are progressing smoothly. We haven't yet told anyone so things are still pretty relaxed here! I have yet to see the doctor, but have a few days off this week so hope to finally get in!!

Hey there, I am 6 weeks along due April 6th. This is our first baby and we are super excited.
I have had a couple of normal symptoms. the one that sicks out the most is the cramping. I pretty much began cramping right after we conceived and haven't stopped..lol I'm even experiencing cramping just on one side. my NP says it's totally normal. As long as i am not doubled over in pain and bleeding, i have nothing to worry about. i am also experiencing breast tenderness and swelling, frequent urniation (more so within this last week), extremely tired, sensative to strong smells, and slight mood swings..lol. As far as I can tell, these are all normal healthy signs that our little one is doing well and growing quickly.

I have been married to my AMAZING husband for almost 3 years. We have the BEST relationship and are super excited about being parents.


Looking forward to being on this journey with you ladies

Hi, I am so glad you all responded! I also have a lot of fears with this pregnancy, just this morning I discovered pink tinged discharge and I am freaking out a bit. This day is going to go so slowly because my first doctors appointment is tomorrow at 2pm! I have also had symptoms come and go day by day, yesterday I felt very pregnant, lots of pressure when I would bend over to clean up. Plus that feeling that makes your body feel heavy and weak, like fatigue, but different.

Overall, I have had some very light cramping and pressure in my uterus. I have felt twinges of pain in my breasts, have had a majorly huge appetite, vivid dreams, I get too warm easily like a hot flash, and I no longer crave or want any sweets or chocolate which happened in my last pregnancy. I have a 22 month old daughter here with me, but I am trying to take it easy on myself today due to a sleepless night and the blood tinted discharge. No cleaning today! I want another baby girl, but would adore a boy!

I am so nauseated and tired every day all day long! Anyone else? Have you done anything that helps with feeling tired and queasy? I am taking zofran and it keeps me from throwing up, but not from feeling sick. Yesterday I felt more tired that I have ever been in my life!

I'm 4w, 3d and i'm due April 20th! This is my second pregnancy, and hopefully my first baby. We miscarried in 2010 at about 5 weeks. I'm 30 and my husband is 28. We've been married for 3 years on August 22nd. Congrats to everyone else here who is also expecting!
