    Yes, unfortunately this is normal.

    But I would prefer the runs to the other option! With Patrick it was worse than this time around. I would go twice a day and it would be black!!! TMI

    It does seem to be mainly at the start, at around the time that you are in weeks now. I think because your body has to keep that baby going until the placenta kicks in, so your hormones are raging, hence all the symptoms you have at the start. Then things seem to settle down a lot in the second trimester.

    At the end of the pregnancy you will probably be constipated, so you'll be wishing you had the runs again! LOL Constipation is much worse when you're as huge as you get at the end - TRUST ME!!!

    Thanks everyone so much for your replies, they are really helpful!!!!

    It is such a strange and exciting time. Seeing as this is my first I'm not really sure what to expect even though I have read 4 pg books so far and done a lot of research It's a lot different reading about it and experiencing it for yourself.

    Thanks again Happy and Healthy pregnancy to everyone.
