Hi Everyone, just wanted to introduce myself. My first appointment is June 10th and we are super excited. I want to tell everyone and im becoming impatient. I think Im about 5 weeks.

I am having cramping and gas is this normal?

Cramping and gas are normal symptoms. As long as the cramping doesn't become severe or is accompanied by bleeding, it's probably fine.

what about headaches?

 

cMichelle0423

Headaches are pretty common too. All thanks to hormones. If you've cut down on caffeine a lot, that can also contribute to headaches. Just to add, your symptoms can also come and go, and they don't mean anything as far as the health of your pregnancy goes. One day you might have nausea, while the next day you feel perfect. If you have any serious concerns, don't hesitate to contact your OB.

Congrats!!! Yesterday, I got news I'm pg also! I went for bloodwork at my RE and numbers look good. My first scan will be June 18. Hopefully these next few weeks fly by for us!

No!!! You don't want them to fly by!!! Enjoy every minute!! Lol congrats to both of you. What made me feel better, so I didn't go tell everyone before it was time... I went and bought a beautiful maternity shirt and a BeBand. Even though I couldn't wear it for a while, it felt good to get into baby mode . Good luck!!!! Side note... If symptoms get severe, please tell your OB! I let the headaches get so bad that I missed weeks of work. Could have been avoided had I known I could take something for them.

I have some cramping and lots of gas too but my doctor said it was normal. The cramping is probably due to your stretching uterus and the gas is the atomic pregnancy farts you now have. It's a pregnancy super power! JK.

Congratulations!!

Congrats! How exciting!

I had cramping until about my sixth week I think.   Haven't has much gas but I'm super bloated, so I guess the gas is there, its just not coming out!!!

My appt is June 13 too. I'm also 5 weeks and 2 days. And June 13 happens to be our 5 year wedding anniversary. I hope it'll be all good news. I get nervous.

My appointment is June 12 I am also having a hard time keeping it a secret. I did tell my side of the family because they can keep a secret! But my husbands side won't find out til Father's Day, since my appointment is right before that! Might I suggest a super cute idea... Tell your family on Father's Day! We are telling my husbands family by giving his dad this adorable "grandpa" photo frame, and I plan to print the ultrasound photo I'm getting on the 12th and put it in the frame as the gift! Ohhhhh there will be tears!!

We are telling our parents on Fathers Day too! We won't have an ultrasound photo yet but still going to get the dads something "grandpa" related.

We have our first OB appointment on June 20, I think I'll be about 8w5d by then. Hopefully we can see something! I am so nervous!

Since we found out after Mother's Day - we are telling my Dad's side of the family on Father's Day too.  Then we get together with my mom's side over the next few weeks for our joint b'day celebration and will tell them then as well - Super excited!!!!

Already told my parents and my MIL and brother-in-law.  They are all ecstatic!  Should be a fun next couple of weeks.
