Hi Ladies,
I am about 5 weeks pregnant and completely scared out of my mind. I had a miscarriage in September and that is on my mind. The last time I didn't know I was pregnant until 2 weeks before it happend. I didn't have any symptoms except weight gain.
This time, I have extremely swollen breasts (i'm a 38DDD before and now I am popping out of a 40DDD bra), I keep having pinching feelings in my lower region right below the abdomen, I have a lot of diarreah ( i know TMI), nausea here and there, and just want to sleep. My tummy is swollen ( guessing it is just bloated), and I have the feeling that I have to go tinkle, but not a lot comes out.
I'm sure I am overreacting, but I'm so scared. The M/C hit us hard last time and I keep saying a prayer a couple times a day.
Is anyone else feeling like this?
Re: I'm so scared
Hello.
First calm down. Stressing doesnt help this situation. Second, yes I have all the same symptoms. Its normal to have lots of symptoms or no symptoms at all. Every pregnancy is different. My first pregnancy I had nothing as well and this one I feel everything. Im so happy though. Just enjoy being pregnant and go with the flow.
Congrats on your pregnancy!
Hi there.
i'm in the same boat as you are. i had a m/c in september. We got our bfp on april 22 this month and i'm REALLY trying not to freak out but its so difficult... and as for the diarrhea... i hear you.... and it scared the hell out of me.... a lot of what i've read says it happens tho... then yesterday my bbs werent as sore as they had been and i lost my mind... it came back with a vengence when i was at work last night....
nothing we can do at this point but hope and pray!!!
and try to live life until those 13 weeks are up. We wont be out of the woods completely but at least we'll get a small piece of mind..
Good luck and i'll be looking for your posts to see how you are doing!

I'm right there with ya!! I'm almost 5 weeks I got my BFP on April 22nd! I too had a m/c in January and I only actually knew of the pregnancy less than a week before I m/c.
I don't know if this helps but since we are about the same within days apart:
pinching/twinges ect. in abdomen - yes, I'm having lots and lots of those expecially today!!! Sometimes if feels like AF and other times like ovulatory pains (mostly right side but sometimes both).
diarrhea - yes, some
swollen/sore breasts - yes, and as crazy as this sounds I occasionally grope myself to make sure my breasts continue to be sore. I know stupid but . . .
bloated - YES, VERY!! The other night I felt like I could have floated away it was bad! And that scared me!
I posted on PGAL about some of these issues and everyone told me it was normal as well!! Also, I didn't notice any of these things with my last pregnancy when I m/c except for the sore breasts! I never had the pains/twinges NOTHING before.
Don't stress but I know it's hard! Every "different" feeling I notice I start to have anxiety over it! But It'll be okay! Just try to breathe and take it one day at a time!
