Hello eveyone an new here. Just found out with a home pregnacy test that i am pregnant. I have to beautiful girls aged 8 and 5. Only symptoms so far with this one is I can not drink coffee anymore and have lost my sweet tooth. Am very tired alot. have a question can anyone remember the first time they felt the baby kick and if so how early.
It's 4.25am here - my most frustrating symptom at present is that i'm waking up in the middle of the night and can't get back to sleep. Same thing happened in my first trimester with DS - not that i'm complaining of course, after all it gives me more time to come and post on the forums.
the ms has really kicked in in the last 2 weeks, i have only actually puked once, but i feel like i am going to, aaaaaallllll the time :-(
i basically have felt like i have a constant hangover for the last 2 weeks.
don't let it get you down
re: the nausea - i had it 24hrs a day until bang on 12 weeks. the worst thing you can do is leave your tummy empty, even during the middle of night try and scoff down a bite or two of toast?
it really felt like forever, but what got me through was this:
apparantly bad M/S (morning sickness) is a sign the pregnancy has taken really strongly.
With all the worrying you do in the 1st 12 weeks, its good to know that one of the yukiest symptoms is actually a sign things are progressing well?
i just always had myzone (the water w Bvitamins), 2 fruits, saladas & english muffins on hand. and also dont worry if the only thing that makes you feel better is fried chips. i lived off potato gems... my dr said she'd prefer i eat chips 5 times a day than take antinausea medication, so thats what i did lol
last thing - maccas cheesburgers w bacon, no mustard, no onions, no pickles and optional cheese was the BEST BEST cure for feeling pukey...
in otherwords, eat what you can keep down and ignore anyone that says otherwise. it makes you feel better, and you can always eat 'properly' later on...
I had stabbing shoulder pain in my right shoulder for about 3 days on and off during weeks 3 and 4 of my pregnancy (now 6 weeks 5 days) the dr admitted me to hospital thinking it was a possible ectopic.
Thankfully it was not (found out today when had a u/s) but it's been an agonising 3 weeks waiting to find out.
I just wanted to post this here as I googled frantically hoping to find someone/anyone with the same symptom that had a normal pregnancy and I couldn't find anyone. So if anyone is feeling like this early on try to stay positive as things have turned out well for me in the end !
Found out I was positve on 26 March using the onestep test (one where u can test 5 days before your period) and then again last night using crystal clear to be sure, which too was positive however result line was fainter. Postive test at clinic this morning with another brand, again result line fainter like last night but Im trying to assume that its cos the tests arent as sensitive as the onestep. Last period started somewhere between 29/2 and 3/3, not sure cos i always seem to spot before heavy flow. Cycle length has been approx 24 days for the last few months that Ive ever paid attention.
Symptoms so far.....
dull lower backache
stomach cramps (mainly left side)
radiating heat from my face
minor gas / burping
bigger boobs, slightly sore, gorging nipples
gone off my morning iced coffee
light pink spotting 1 week ago (implantation???)
However this morning I woke to red blood when i went to the toilet and wiped. prolly only equivelant to 1/2 - 1 teaspoon. Was that worried I went to clinic where I tested positive and then no more blood just dark brown spotting the consistency of UHU stick glue (sorry couldnt think of anything else). Another thing, my boobs arent sore today and arent as gorged but still have lower abdominal minor pain / cramping, nothing serious however am really tired today.
Went to Docs who was alarmed and made me like an idiot being there, said that I shouldve waited at least another week or 2 before coming. He then ordered me to do 4 routine blood tests every 2nd day next week and one today to corfirm HCG levels increasing.
Anyone else experience a hit of bright red blood when period was due then dark brown discharge? extremely worried as its our first and so damn excited.
