Hello, I am 11 weeks and 3days and have been having a few issues during my pregnancy. For example when drinking milk I can not drink it at all it makes me sick to my stomach and my body does not tolerate it. As of recently how do I know my baby is alright? I do not have my next doctors appointment till Sep 6 and have been feeling stomach cramps and a bit of back pain. Sometimes I wake up and I feel no cramps or anything but I have been feeling small like cramps for the past couple of days feels like when you are hungry and your stomach growls. I have no bleeding and thankfully have had no bleeding throughout my pregnancy and im wondering if he/she might be ok. How do I know?? Since this is my first pregnancy I do not really know what is normal and what is not so im asking for a bit of help. Is my baby ok?
Re: 11 weeks and concerned.
Sounds like growing pains.
I was also really picky about food in the first trimester. Try to assume that everything is OK with LO and good luck! :-)

Just remember, this is your first. Your body is going through CRAZY changes you've NEVER been through. Just like you've heard you get get cravings throughtout your pregnancy-you also get food aversions. Milk may just not be cutting it for you. Which is fine. Soy & almond milk are good alternatives. Just make sure you're taking your prenatals. Especially now.
It really pissed me off when my Dr. scheduled me 3+ weeks apart in the beginning, as well. I had similar pains-and then some. If you're ever THAT concerned, just call your Dr. that's what they're here for. As for now, the advice I can honestly give you is just RELAX & know you're in for a bumpy ride. No pun intended
Looking back, especially with my 39 week pains...I wish I could go back to 11 weeks & enjoy it again. Unless you've got major earthbending pains & blood-I would say everything is normal. (Although I am no doctor...only out of experience) Just put your feet up & enjoy it while it lasts. Hope you feel better soon, hun.

Sounds like a normal pregnancy. With DS I had many food aversions and foods that made me sick to eat. It's just your body's way of making sure you get what you need. For example, I couldn't eat any chicken or turkey and ate almost exclusively beef. Turns out I was low in iron.
Cramps and pulling on and off are normal as your uterus stretches and the muscles surrounding it start to pull and stretch. It's hard not knowing when you haven't seen your doctor yet, but trust that unless your body gives you reason to worry, there is probably no reason to worry.

This! I remember cramps. Your muscles are stretching and growing! And you ligaments are being pulled too! I wouldn't worry....easier said than done! You'll be fine!
Relax Momma's. The cramps are just your body growing and everything moving around. As long as you don't see blood, you are good to go. I had that cramping on and off throughout the whole pregnancy so far. It's normal. You will feel all sorts of twinges and weird feelings throughout your pregnancy. Just try to stay calm and know that baby is just growing and getting bigger!
