New Pregnancy Questions

nikinlovenikinlove
in 1st Trimester

You ladies have a ton of information - thanks in advance for everything.

So I just found out I was preggo yesterday and I was really crampy the last week or so, but everyone says that is normal.  The only other sign that I had was that I was extremely hot - I kept bumping the temperature down in the house and I was still sweating. I also go to the bathroom a lot.

But I do not have any other signs like sickness, boobs hurting, cravings, etc.  Does that come in time?  Is it that I am so early on I do not have that yet?  Also - how long does the cramping last?

    Every pregnancy is different - even for the same woman. Symptoms come and go - some women get sick from day 1 and some women never do. Honestly, if it wasn't for missing my period and the + pregnancy test, I would have no idea I was pregnant! I feel 100% fine. Maybe I'll get symptoms as the weeks go on, maybe I won't. With my son I only had fleeting food aversions for the first few weeks, other than that, I was healthy and fine!

    wait til about week 6 thats when i started getting m/s and even later for cravings cause once the m/s sets in eating is only what you can get down.  Some don't get sick though.....we are all different.

    It's very normal to not experience many symptoms until at least 6 weeks.  With my first pregnancy, I was pregnant until 18 weeks and never had cravings or sore boobs.  I started having morning sickness around 7 weeks.  With both of my previous pregnancies, and with this one, I've had cramping since like 5 days before my period was due.  It's pretty normal for the cramping to come and go.

    Well I see you're week 4 and at that time I was STARVING!  But then when week 6 hit it all went downhill for me, I had nausea all day long.  I think I'm starting to come out of it but I'm still not sure.

    First, Congratulations!

    Everyone is right, each pregnancy is different, but that being said cramping now is pretty normal.  Could be from implantation, your uterus shifting, etc.  I had some odd cramping around 4-5 weeks and wasn't sure if I was pregnant or expecting AF to arrive.

    I only had one day early on of peeing every 30 minutes, and at that point I didn't even know I was pregnant.  I did notice I was thirsty all day and going to the bathroom a lot, but I didn't assume anything from it.

    And I'm always cold, which has only gotten worse since I got pregnant - maybe you're the opposite!  The other things may or may not show up for you, don't worry if they don't you might just be one of the lucky ones that feels great!

    You're still really early for any symptoms. And it's quite possible you won't get many symptpms. I didn't have much with DS-crampy, tired, and slightly sore boobs on occasion. Not one second of nausea with him. With this baby, I had a mild case of morning sickness, plus crampy and tired. Everyone is different. With DS the cramping was on and off my entire pregnancy. This time it seems to have subsided around 9 weeks or so, but i still get it from time to time.

    I would recommend setting up your first prenatal appointment. Write down all your questions and bring them in with you.

    Everyone is different.

    My 4th week...I was so hungry all the time and I could seriously eat as if I was about to play some pro ball. I was tired but still had enough energy to do speed runs. 

    6th week is when I wanted to just die. I was nauseous all the time and I had and still have a stupid virus.  I am still fatigued, but it wasn't as bad as it was during weeks 5 and beginning of 6.

    I don't have extreme hunger anymore and If i tried to eat like i did in week 4, I would get really nauseous.

    I'm really late to the party but...

    Call your gyn to schedule your first appointment and go over any medications you take on a regular basis. You might have to stop or switch meds while you're pregnant. Ask them what OTC meds you can take for headaches, heartburn, nausea, fever, cold/flu, etc. You're going to need this information as your symptoms start setting in and fall starts approaching. Also ask them about your diet... there are foods you shouldn't eat/drink when pregnant. Since this was unplanned, they might have you come in to speak with a nurse and get your information packets sooner than the typical 8 week appointment.

    Ask them for a recommendation for a prenatal vitamin and start taking them asap. You'll need the vitamins for your own health and that of your baby. They'll likely just tell you that any OTC prenatal is fine (Target, WalMart, drug store brand etc), but it's best to check with your doc.
