  I will be 8 weeks tomorrow it is so exciting! But I as well have only experienced tender breasts.... I still have not had morning sickness or anything like that yet.  Not everyone gets sick, it just depends on your body so I would not worry about it until you speak to the doctor and if they have worries, go from there.  I consider myself lucky, but it is still pretty early so you never know when they might show up! lol

  Week 8 today! My new week starts every Sunday and it's so funny because every time I go to church the children ask me "So how big is your baby today?" Last week I said a BLUEBERRY! And today they asked again and I said a raspberry! They love it. This is our first, and I am sooooo excited.... I am so thankful to have some nausea (and even more thankful no vommitting), sore boobs, very hightened sense of smell, and food cravings. Every symtom reminds me that it's really happening!!! Yippy!!!!

  Does anyone have a quick trick for heartburn? Everything I am eating is making it flare up. I'm taking Zantac, but it's not working. I was thinking about taking the Pepcid. Anyone had any luck with no medical remedies? I've already tried the Tums, Rolaids,etc. The only thing that keeps it down a touch is saltine crackers. Just looking for other solutions.

  Im 8 weeks today!!! Had my first ultrasound on Thursday and the baby looks great! Its so exciting to see the baby is safe and growing. Breast are very, very, very sore and the vomiting had gotten so bad my doc gave me Zofran. Worked like a charm. Food still doesnt seem to appetizing, but my doc says it doesnt matter I just need to focus on drinking plenty of water. I have slight constipation, but not enough to make me feel too uncomfortable. Looking forward to seeing my baby again...cant wait!

  I don't get to hear the hearbeat until week 11 and then they said they don't do an ultrasound until between weeks 18-20! was this the same for you? I can't stand the thought of not knowing if everything is ok in there until then!!

  Hi, I've been having discharge too. so i thought i was the only one. I'm 8 weeks this week and for the past 3 weeks i've been having severe acid reflux and heartburn. I had to switch everything i'm nornmally eat. I haven't had morning sickness, thank God.. The only i must say i get these big swift of sleep that hits me around 3pm at work and last till about 530. It makes me look miserable. Also what i started to do is power walk in the morning before i go to work, I tried running but all the acid in my stomach trying to come up. Is there anyone else experiencing really bad heartburn?

  I had my ultrasound at 6 weeks and heard the heart beat and even got a print out of my little peanut.. It was a relief to be able to hear the heartbeat and to know he was ok in there.. I would talk to your dr about why they don't do early ultrasounds.

  I know exactly how you feel. I am bloated all the time. I even asked my Dr if it was normal to be this bloated all the time... and i got the "yes, you are pregnant" answer, which i am starting to hate! I feel your pain!

  Regarding the discharge... Do you know if you have fibroids?  It could be that and if so...no need to worry.  Many women have discharge/spotting and although it's totally normal it makes us terribly worried, we must try to stay relaxed.  You will know if there is reason for concern. Make care!!
