Welcome to Week 7!

jnoller · January 2012

Hi,

This is my first pregnancy too and I seem to be having the same symptoms that you are. My boobs hurt so bad that I can barely lay in bed:) I am kinda super nervous about everything. My first sonogram is this Friday and I am really nervous about that. I was just wondering (and this goes out to everyone) when does everyone feel comfortable with telling people that they are pregnant? This might be too personal of a question, but I would really like some feedback. I just don't know how early is too early and how late is too late? Some people I have told like my parents, my husband and my sisters. But I just don't know when I should tell extended family or friends or my work. Any advice or fellow concerns would be great to hear about.

ericanddeborah · January 2012

My husband and I chose not to tell anyone until my first sonogram-to actually see a heartbeat. Which was just our choice. Most people want to wait until they are 12 weeks to tell work. However, everyone knows that I am pregnant! Girl, if you are excited share it with the world. I heard that if something happens, that's just more people to comfort you. So I've went with that, and pray every night for the best, most healthy pregnant and baby. Go with your heart on that decision.

The mocktail sounds great. I will give it a try tomorrow! Thanks.

Hi Everyone, today makes 7 weeks for me. I am pregnant with my 2nd child. My oldest is 11 yrs old. I had her when I was 17 yrs. When i was pregnant with her I didn't have any symptoms. I slept, ate and did normal activities.

With this pregnancy the last 7 weeks has been very challenging! I have morning sickness daily; nausea; every scent makes me want to vomit; I can't sleep at night & can't lay on my stomach. Always sleepy, dont want to go anywhere; everything i put on looks boring.

I love sweets! Since I've been pregnant I haven't been able to enjoy. Each time I try to eat what i Love so much, it doesn't workout. I can't drink juices, cookies, doughnuts, ice cream etc. which isn't fair! I thought when you are pregnant you can eat whatever you want!lol.

I'm looking forward to my 2nd trimester, I hope its better than my 1st trimester.

Counting down....

SweetbabyCocoa · January 2012

I am also week 7 and the morning sickness hit me like a brick earlier this week. Where can I find those preggie pop drops?

proudmomoftwo · January 2012

I have been the exact same way. this is my second child and my first on i was 18 when i had him and i was never sick i ate all the time and ate everything i could get my hands on now i cant eat at all im so sick. and i can barely get out of bed i dont even wanna get dressed.. and yes where can i get them preggie pops i will definitely try them.. and if you can come up with anything that helps with ur sickness let me know and yes im counting down too..im 7 weeks but i see the dr on friday so i think that he will tell me that ill be just 7 weeks n 4 days then but i think im 7 weeks n 3 days right now..so we shall see..

nicoletemoney · January 2012

I didn't even know they have preggis pop drops.. I'm going to find and get these for my twin sister.. This is her first pregrancy too. CONGRATS to you all.

dqafter10 · February 2012

I know. Some people have nothing better to do than be mean and childish. I mean how pathetic is that, to go from board to board bashing people because they mispelled a word or they weren't specific enough. These people are best ignored, however, there are times in which your hormones can get the best of you. And for those times I say "kill them with kindness (or sarcasm!)". You should do the same too. Don't let anyone rain on your parade.

Congratulations by the way!

I'm on week 7 with my first too. Its amazing isn't it? Lets keep the positive flow going...

chasinghunter · February 2012

This is my second pregnancy. My husband and I have a 20 month old. My first pregnancy was a breeze. The only issue I had was constant, sever heartburn. Considered going to ER a few times. My son was born with a head full of hair! Didn't put a hat on him at the hospital. This time around I immediately have had majorly sore/tender boobs, frequent urination, overly sensitive feelings, and adversions to smells. Looking forward to OBGYN visit in a few weeks to see our little one! We have only told my mom and a trusted family-friend who lives hundreds of miles away and knows noone else in our family.

schmersj · February 2012

I'm in the middle of week 7 and all is well! Had an ultrasound last week to prove I really am pregnant because I don't feel it and I lost 7 pounds since the beginning of the year. Everything is going great! I've got a sore chest but that's it. Energy is great, no food or smell issues, no nausea, peeing a lot or cramping. Hoping to stay this way! Next Dr. visit is at week 13. Can't wait to find out whether this is a little boy or girl.

klkowalcyk · February 2012

For your headaches get some peppermint oil and rub on your temples and between your eyes (slightly above). Also, putting a cold washcloth on my head or rinsing off in a cold shower helps. Good luck!

babycarroll1 · February 2012

reading this has eased my mind! I am just starting week 7 and my only symptoms are fatigue and somewhat sore breasts, occasionally. It's weird because I don't feel pregnant really. I was just telling my husband that people say we're the lucky ones, but I would kind of like to have a few more symptoms just to keep me reassured throughout the first trimester

Congrats and glad to hear things are going well for you! I have an apt with my nurse for blood work next week and I don't see my doc for a full exam until March 19(week 11), which I thought was kind of weird. That will be the first time I hear the heartbeat

I can't wait until week 12 so that we can tell friends and family!

Raya1988 · February 2012

this week will actually be my 8th week, i have extreme sore breast, i urinate a lot and ive been more sleepy than usual. thank god no vomiting but i do feel dizzy every now and then. i had a ultrasound at 6 weeks to prove i was really pregnant but i havent set up my next appointment yet im guessing that should be around my 10th week. im so excited about this pregnancy its my first one but im very scared as well

angel71611 · February 2012

wow what a b**ch u dont need to be talked to like that:( but yes i feel the same way as u lol i hear it will go away in the 2nd trimester

lizardj7 · February 2012

Hey everyone! I'm 7 weeks 2 days today and this is my 2nd pregnancy. My first pregnancy went very well with no complications and my little angel is now 4 years old. She is very excited to be a big sister.

Unfortuantely Sunday started a day of complications and I started bleeding. We went to the er. Dr checked me and my cervix was closed. But after an ultrasound we were told there was a lot of bleeding around the baby. I have been put on strict bed rest. Only up to use the rest room and were told we have a 50/50 chance of the baby surviving. The dr also put me on prometrium. A medication used to relax my uterus. I'm also rh negative might I add. The dr was unable to give me any explanation as to why I have the bleeding and only told me 1 out of every 5 women have this problem. If anyone has any info or if your going through the same thing will u please inform me. I am completely scared out of my mind!!!

lw0405 · February 2012

I just found out i was pregnant last week and its was official on Monday!!! I'm totally excited and scared at the same. I had a miscarriage back in 2007 and do not want it to happen again!!! Last year was crazy i got diagnosed with Crohn's Diseases and IBD. I also had to have surgery back in July so my belly is defiently going to look like Frankenstein now!!! lol Does anyone else on here have Chronic Pains?

I've had a head ache and nausea for the last 4weeks. My Boobs are growing like crazy and are so sore- it hurts to touch them. I'm craving cheesecake and don't really want to eat. I'm hungry but I'm not its really hard to explain. I also fell like i can't keep hydrated. That makes me a high risk pregnancy. I've already been to the hoapital once because i was so dehydrated. I'm only 7 weeks i have a long way to go!!!

hope everyone is doing well!!!!

Lindseys33 · March 2012

what is shyt? tee hee hee

AmberStarfish · March 2012

I do not go to the doctor until next week, but based on my LMP I'm 7 weeks. I have had no nausea whatsoever! My boobs are sore, some days more than others and the only other symptom I've really had besides a little cramping is my face breaking out! I havent had a breakout on my face like this since I was a teenager. I'm also very anxious and excited to get to the doctor next week and hear some good news that everything is coming alone ok! I dont feel overly tired yet, just a little, but nothing unbearable.

Sarahkoch1587 · March 2012

I've been the same with NO nausea! I am worried too. It's so hard because I don't se my dr. for two more weeks and I am not sure when the first ultrasound will be!

JENNB928 · March 2012

I feel so much better after reading this! I am 61/2-7 weeks (haven't had official appointment yet) I feel no nausea at all! My breasts get extremely sore sometimes and I get pretty tired but other than that I don't feel pregnant! Today I did feel a little tightness in my upper left stomach, has anyone ever felt that before?

NicoleJ4 · March 2012

HI, I am somewhere between 4-7 weeks not quite sure yet my first appointment is still a week away. This is baby number 4 for me and pregnancy number 5, I had a miscarriage back in september. I am currently getting the same tightness in my stomache like you are experiencing.. When i was pregnant with my oldest son they told me it was caused by my muscles stretching to prepare for labor... during pregnancy your body is always preparing it's self for that wonderful day when you get to meet your little bundle of joy! But I would ask the doctor to find out for sure when you get in to do your examination. Congratulations!

LorettaN · March 2012

hi,this is my first time to on here,im 7 weeks prego n were having the same problems and are due dates the same......

amyb9123 · March 2012

I am right there with ya!!! I am not sick at all, and I am prego with twins! Heard their heartbeats last week, and that reassured me completely!!! I am still wondering when it will hit me, but for now I am grateful not to have bad symptoms!!! Hope the sickness fairies stay away from us both!!!

aubsie · March 2012

I'm 7 weeks today and I have no symptoms at all! It makes me think there's nothing really in there! But I've taken 4 tests since I found out and they're all positive so that's the only thing that's keeping me believing! I don't have an appointment for 4 more weeks... I can't wait for them to do an ultrasound so I can actually SEE something in there!

kmwdq · March 2012

I am 7 weeks today and just started having some symptoms about a week ago, but not many! slightly nauseaus, having loss of appetite (nothing seems appetizing), and I cried yesterday because we were out of tator tots and that is all I wanted to eat (guess the emotions are becoming out of wack!) I have my first appointment at 8 weeks, but they said they won't do an ultrasound until 18-20 weeks! anyone else have to wait that long??? I am terrified I am going to have a blighted ovum and that there is no baby in there - I can't imagine waiting that long! UGH!

megankemery · March 2012

mrserinnoelle:
Of course, I'm freaking out now as I'm not feeling very nauseous at all. I actually feel quite ok. I have aches and pains here and there, and dry mouth, all the time, but not very sick. I feel tired and that I could sleep all the time and my breasts are annoyingly large. They were sore, but that seems to change day to day, now they aren't. I guess for me it's just weird, as I thought I would feel a lot more ill, and have aversions to a lot more things, but I don't. This of course makes me freak out more that something is wrong, but I try to reassure myself that it will be ok.. I had an appointment with my midwife at 6 weeks and we could see the heartbeat, and heard it a few times (the AC in the room was very loud making it hard to hear), so although that was reassuring, I'm still holding tight and nervous until my next appointment at 10 weeks.. Anyone else not super sick?

I haven't been sick AT ALL either! I've been nauseous.... especially around cat food (walked down the aisle at kroger and had to literally run out of there because I started gagging and feeling sick) but haven't been throwing up at all. I just found out I'm pregnant 2 days ago, and going to the doc. for the first time on thursday. I'm also freaking out though (not that I WANT to be so nauseous all the time) but just that miscarrages happen more likely in the 1st trimester so it'd just be a nice reassurance that baby is still there.

Otherwise, if I knew 24/7 that everything was ok; i'd be ecstatic with not being sick! lol

But what HAS been happening to me, I get really nauseous in the late evening but i'm STARVING like stomach rumbling and everything but not hungry. Does that even make sense? lol Anyways, just wondering if anyone else has that....Also feeling full very quickly from small amounts of food. Like I've over stuffed my self?

Go easy on me, I saw some claws but I'm a very first time ever pregnant girl

Thanks.

I actually thought to myself (because of my above post) that I should just buy some tests and keep testing every time I feel like maybe the baby has disappeared lol

jcbarreto · April 2012

This is my second baby, and looooordy is this a different pregnancy! My first I wasnt tired at all and actually didnt get tired until the 3rd trimester, now i can barely stay awake during work hours.

Also, this one is making me constantly hungry! like all the time... but i can only eat a few bites, then my stomach wants to evacuate the food. With my first pregnancy I got really sick from wks 8-12 where I didnt really eat and I just took my pre-natal and drank a lot of gatorade/water, so i am hoping this one is going to be different. Thank goodness i have 3 weeks of PTO juuuuust in case

I dont feel much bigger either, no weight gain, but I am wearing my maternity jeans now, so much more comfy when I get bloated. Ahhh the joys of pregnancy

erikam1988 · April 2012

divergirlstacey1@hotmail.com · April 2012

I feel way better during this pregnancy than my first! By this time with my son, I was staying within twenty feet of a bathroom whenever possible because the nausea was so bad. No nausea so far this time so fingers crossed that my diclectin dependence won't return. I am exhausted though...falling asleep on the couch every night at 7pm!

rubies4all · April 2012

Congrats to you as well! im feeling sick all day and don't want anything to eat but know I need to eat- lol. so you told everyone you know? we only did close family so far but it is so hard to keep secret because we tried for 16 months. I too am just praying that this baby is safe and sound in there.

Good luck to you too!

Im in week 7 this is my second pregnancy but my daughter is 13 years old so everything feels brand new! I'm excited to see how my little blueberry is developing but I'm so ready to be in the second trimester so the morning sickness is done! I haven't thrown up at all but I feel so nauseaus ALL the time several times I thought I was going to but I haven't yet. I'm very tired & I cannot sleep enough! One thing that helps with nausea is walking on my lunch break.

pitmach · May 2012

My husband did the same thing (big mouth lol) I wanted to wait as well but it's in Gods hands I pray everyday for a healthy pregnancy & healthy baby.

pitmach · May 2012

Oh my! No my ultrasound is the end of this month I will be 9 weeks.

lovekak · May 2012

Hi everyone, im new to this...

My tummy makes very loud noises all day long, whether i eat or not. Im so irritable n the crazy cravings keep gettin worse. And im only 6 weeks.

well it get any better?

lorimayhearst · June 2012

hello, i am in week 7 of my first pregnancy. i feel so out of the loop because based on conversations i have had with my friends who are already moms, i really do not feel pregnant! by that i mean, thankfully, i have not been sick to my stomach but maybe a handful of times--and that only seems to be when i take my prenatal on an empty stomach. speaking of prenatals, i have been taking nature made's version, but recently my friend who is expecting her 3rd child introduced a fruity, chewable version and i am making a special trip on my lunch break today just to make the conversion! who knew i would get this excited about taking meds? another thing i am excited about is, i actually quit smoking the day i found out i was pregnant and tho it has been extremely hard, my husband has survived (lol) and i have to say i have done good by not slipping any from him or any other family members. we had been trying since jan and with me being underweight and stressed, along with us both being smokers, i honestly did not have high expectations of conceiving and tho we wanted one, it was still a complete shock and surprise in a good way when i found out! the hardest part i am having is waiting to find out what it is. i was supposed to a twin so i am even eager to find out if i should expect more than 1. tomorrow is my first appointment with my doc; i have already lightened the load, because i have my doc, know where i am having the baby, already have names picked out... i want my pregnancy to be as smooth, stress-free as possible so i can focus on the changes. i've become a stalker of this website
