@jenferlee82 Well I'm glad that they are being responsively to your inquiries. I hate when trying to get in contact with the doctor and no one answers/emails back.

Thank you ladies for the kind words! I’m in bed now, feet up and water, willing this little bean to stick. I appreciate your letting me air my anxiety!!
@jenferlee82 I know how nerve wracking it can be; I had spotting with my daughter from a little after 4 weeks up until almost 10 weeks. But you have a good reason to have spotting (the suppositories). Do your best to take it easy, and trust that the little bean is safely burrowed in there. Monday will be here before you know it ❤️

Thank you so much! It’s so reassuring to hear that others have been through it and had success. ❤️
It’s comforting to see other people are cramping. I had round ligament pain with my other two but not till much later. I’ve had sudden cramps that feel exactly like RLP (typically when I roll over too quickly in bed) but it can’t be that, right? It’s too early!
I can’t tell if my boobs are sore or if I am making it up in my head because I want them to be? I swear I keep feeling an off and on mild sensation similar to how extremities feel when they fall asleep and are waking up. Except that makes zero sense because boobs fon’t fall asleep lol.
Somehow I’m typing in your quote. Still getting the hang of this app. I am not sure if this is your first? If not, did you breastfeed? What you are describing is the feeling of a let down. I think it’s common as your body prepares to lactate. I felt it early on with my second.
@brownbarista That makes so much sense! This is my second, and now that you’ve mentioned it, the sensation was like a mild version of my let down when I was BFing.

Is that what this feeling is?? I’ve been getting it, too, along with random pains in the nipples like I got poked with a needle.
my kids are/were formula fed, so I don’t know what any of those sensations are
@manillabar I was up at 5:50.. Why can't I sleep a full night anymore? I have such grand plans when I go to sleep to really sleep in (and I don't get to do that much so I was excited) but I have to fight to keep sleeping past like 5 or 6.
@jenferlee82 I have everything crossed for you and hoping you the best. That doesn't sound abnormal but I understand the anxiety it would induce. *Hugs
@cmbt2 Yep! Not all moms who BF feel let downs so it varies person to person, but I sure did. Feels like your boobs fell asleep and then pins and needles as they wake up. It was super unpleasant for me at first but I got used to it and the sensation lessened as time went on.

Interesting! I remember feeling that after DS2 was born— these giant sharp tingles. I couldn’t figure out what they were!
@soralette and @jenferlee82, how are you guys doing today? Hope the spotting has subsided. Thinking of you both! ❤❤
I’m doing well! The spotting seems to have stopped. I had a pretty light schedule today so I took the day off and am spending it in bed. I’ve taken three naps so far. 😂 Thankfully it never got even close to heavy so I’m feeling like I can take a small breath. But Monday’s US can’t get here fast enough!
I was just crying to H because I’m constantly starving but also constantly nauseous. I’m annoyed that I’m starving because I’m not even supposed to need extra calories yet! And literally the only time I’m not nauseous is when I’m eating, so I want to eat all. day. long.

I know that so well. One time in a previous pregnancy I woke my husband up sobbing because I had eaten the last of the Cap’n crunch (the only thing I could stand to eat) and I knew I was going to be so hungry again in like 15 minutes and the only way I could get more was going to the grocery store. Which was full of food and thus the last place on earth I wanted to be.
Another wonderful PG symptom... apparently I have the nose of a bloodhound. My big boss came by the other day to say hello to everyone and I could smell her perfume a mile away (it was not pleasant either ) and then when she hugged me, I had to kind of turn away so I didn't wince from my tender chest!

@cmbt2 So the bands work this early? I bought one but haven’t tried it yet, wasn’t sure how it would work with bloat vs bump.
Yes! They’re more meant for bloat- it’s so you can wear your real pants since maternity doesn’t fit well at this stage. I wear them the whole time though. I don’t maternity pants

Oh that’s great to know! Thanks!
I fold mine in half. I don’t Iike the feel of the band on my stomach but they work fine!
I loved my belly band! I wore it throughout the whole pregnancy last time. I feel like it gave me a little extra (soft) support and it helped round out my belly during the awkward middle part of pregnancy where the bump displaced my chub and gave me a weird shape.

Tonight we had hot wings, which I ONLY crave while pregnant. My husband gave my 18 mo old ketchup in a little cup to dip his food tonight. DS ends up DRINKING it! I almost threw up listening to him slurp it! So my pregnancy symptoms are major craving and aversions already!
I was innocently laying down just now, watching my fabulous line up of Friday TV (RuPaul's Drag Race followed by Love After Lockup) and I felt my heart just POUNDING away. My fitbit clocks me at 100bpm right now. Such a strange feeling.

Ooh just reading that makes me gag a little bit! The smell of ketchup is on the bad list for me, I discovered that yesterday. So is the sight of raw chicken, which never bothered me before. These aversions are so strange aren’t they?
On and off cramps. A lot less since implantation. sore boobs. Major nausea on and off for about a week. The most exhausted ever. Ive been sleeping 9-10 hours a night and sometimes take a nap after work too.
I’m so bloated... like unbutton my pants at work bloated. Haven’t really had much nausea unless I eat too much or too fast. Just ridiculously bloated
Me too. I commented how I felt so crampy and uncomfortable to my H, then went in the bathroom and I could immediately see why. After two pregnancies and diastasis recti my abs don't hold anything in; I looked easily 6 months pregnant. It may be hard to hide an early pregnancy with a basketball shaped bloat like that! Like, if I saw that dramatic of a change in anyone else I would feel safe in assuming pregnancy.
