Pregnancy symptoms
Good afternoon ladies,
I asked this question on the trying to get pregnant board and one of the ladies suggested I post if over here. I might have more luck for answers here.
Was just curious if early pregnant symptoms would be bowel movements, cramping and gas. I don't want to test until later this weekend or after I am do for AF. Please wish me luck
Thanks is advance for the support. My sister just found out today she is expecting her 2nd, I wish I was her.

Re: Pregnancy symptoms
Bowel movements, cramping and gas can be symptoms of pregnancy.
They can also be symptoms of AF. Or bad clams.
Really, the only way to know is to take a pregnancy test.
Humm...bowel movements ,cramping and gas.....sounds like me even when I wasn't pregnant.
Ok seriously, instead of playing the guessing game of Am I or Am I not....please go and pee on a stick.
Yes. They are pregnancy symptoms - congrats! You are pregnant!
Seriously - there is no way we can answer this. There is no answer for it, except be patient and try not to read into everything. Difficult, I know.
Could they be symptoms? Maybe.
Cound they be signs that you are some bad clams? Maybe.
Could they be signs of AF? Maybe.
Could they be signs of stress? Maybe.
Could they be signs of an illness? Maybe.
Bowel movements are a sign that your digestive system is working. Not necessarily pregnancy. Gas is a sign of food fermenting in your intestines. No necessarily pregnancy. Cramping is a sign that muscles are contracting. Not necessarily pregnancy.
If, next week, you get a +HPT, you MAY be able to reflect back on these things are "signs". But right now? They are just things going on with lots of explanations.
