Add on the crazy emotions for me! I am not normally one to get teary-eyed during movies but I definitely did today while watching The Hunger Games.
I am also constantly running an inner crab dialog in my head.

@osucma - I hear you on the emotions lol. I cried a little / more like a few tears not really full on crying because we were stuck in a traffic jam earlier and someone kept honking at us even though we couldn't go anywhere lol.

So just wondering if anyone else has had this. I am still quite early (5+2) but the last 2 days I have been getting quick, sharp pains in my belly button. Kinda feels like if you pulled a muscle. It doesn't last long, but it keeps happening on and off, and just concerned. Others?

@GG620 - I don't know for sure what it is but I searched for some ideas and one that kept popping up was this: "The uterus begins to prepare for the impending growth well before the baby is big enough to begin stretching the boundaries of its home. This involves proliferation of the uterine lining well in excess of what takes place each month during a normal menstrual cycle, as well as some growth of the organ itself. The increased blood flow to the pelvis that assists in both these processes is irritating to the pelvic organs, and can lead to bladder and uterine cramping, both of which can feel like pain behind the belly button. Symptoms due to pelvic congestion typically disappear late in the first trimester."

Super emotional and irritable. Poor DH can't do anything right. I go from nauseated to wanting to eat everything within minutes. Boobs are killing me. Uterus is achy...I do not want anything touching my stomach and trying to suck in the bloat is not an option so maternity pants have been brought out. Back is still keeping me up at night hurting. This pregnancy is sooooo different from my last! 

@goodtimesally - Sorry you're on a emotional roller coaster. Hopefully it will calm down for you!

@GG620 - Not a problem! I would still mention it to your doctor to be on the safe side.

I've been spotting since I got my BFP. it's off and on, brown or light pink, and mixed with mucus. So going on 2 weeks now. I've googled myself into many a rabbit hole about it..just waiting for my first US at 6+6. Did you call your doctor? Maybe they'll have you come in for an US! @satsumasandlemons

Thank you, @SaphireSweetie88 and @dancegurl1118 reading your posts have been reassuring - I know it's normal. I'm still going to call the dr and at least make that first appt!

That sounds like a good plan @satsumasandlemons
