in 1st Trimester

so a few weeks ago my boobs started to hurt, felt exhausted every day.  Had a positive blood test last week.  today is 5 weeks!!!!! yayyyyyyyyyy....

what is everyone else feeling?? I was really crampy last week.  When I walk around a lot of get really tired.  

at night aroung 4 am I have to pee realllllllyyyyy bad, and then I get gassy like my belly is going to explode. I am not pooping well.  It comes out, but it takes forever and not very often. Doc told me today to get metamucil or something like that.  could I have bowel distention??

and how do I get rid of it.

 

no ultrasound until next week.  Anyone else at my stage??

    It's called constipation and it happens in early pregnancy.  Eat high fiber foods or drink a cup of coffee in the morning (even decaf will help).  Switch to a prenatal with a stool softener.

    I had major constipation and cramping around week 4-5 so I started drinking an 8oz glass of prune juice before I went to bed every night, which made me feel better so I could actually sleep, and now I can go every morning (TMI) thankgod........I feel sooooo much better, also I haven't gotten an m/s yet, and I was told it could possibly be because of the B6 in the prune juice that I'm drinking before I go to bed............I'll be honest, it doesn't taste good, but I just don't smell it as I drink it, but I continue to drink it every night because it makes me feel sooo much better......

    you don't get gassy from prune juice? I have a problem with that in the middle of the night for some reason.  I am never gassy  like that!

    I used to be veryyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy gassy, it was disgusting.....but after I started drinking the prune juice, I was slowly able to start going to the bathroom every day....and I felt much better, and not gassy anymore, its the constipation that is making you gassy.......now that I've been drinking it every night, I have been able to go regulary every morning after I eat something.......never thought I would be so happy to go to the bathroom......
