Hello Ladies! I am entering my 5th week!! I just found out I was preggos last week and so excited but nervous. I am having headaches and mild stomach cramps, no morning sickness other than some nausea at night. I am scared about having a miscarriage, is all this normal to feel this way?
Also, it would be awesome if there was someone in my area (Chapel Hill/Durham) that is in the same situation as me. Let me know
Re: New mommy to be...entering 5th week
Hi! I live in Durham and am also entering my fifth week. I work at Duke and hope to have the baby here at the hospital. Looks like we are due date buddies. I have had a lot of cramping, mild nausea, and occasional loss of appetite. I've been eating a lot of starches (pastas, crackers) which seem to help. The cramps are normal, as I've read - it's just our uteruses (uteri?) growing.
We haven't told anyone except I will be telling my personal trainer, who I have been working out with for almost 2 years now, who I think is an important person to know so he knows WHY I'm tired and grumpy and crampy. We expect to tell our parents and families in early February and then everyone else soon after.
Congrats to you!
