Any newbies out there starting 5 weeks?

hgiggins · April 2013

I'm 5 1/2 weeks with my first. just waiting for the nausea to kick in. I'm sort of expecting it. I hear it won't be for another week, tho. So far, i feel pretty normal except my boobs hurt and i'm super emotional... I cried at a Cheerio commercial yesterday. Seriously, there is no reason I should be emotional about cereal. Food is a little weird, too... I feel hungry but nothing really looks good. and when I eat, I'm full really fast. Weirdest thing, I am SOOO THIRSTY all the time. Whaaat??

Glad you meet you girls! We are going to have some babies!!!!

Wow, lucky not having lots of symptoms yet! Three days before I found out, I had cramping, gas, overly oily skin, sore breasts, exhaustion and constant hunger. I still have all of these, but the cramping , thankfully without bleeding, is the worst. Always acts up on and off when in trying to sleep, so I'm already not sleeping well from the little apple seed ; 5 weeks today!

Babytime271 · April 2013

5 weeks here as we'll. moody hungry and cramping on and off. Anyone know when u can't sleep on ur tummy anymore?

ande17 · April 2013

Hey everyone I'm 5 weeks today according to the bump site... I don't have my first appt for two more weeks. They can't get me in until after Mother's Day but we're going to tell our parents then anyway. I'm really tired but I am getting horrible sleep at night. Tossing and getting up to go to the bathroom it's so annoying. Started getting some nausea but its not too bad yet. It's so hard to keep the secret at work and with family. Is it really common to miscarry? I am not really worried... Should I be? Anyway I'm grateful for this online support. Hope everyone's babies are growing healthy right now!

5 weeks along now...I am scared to get excited because if I have a miscarriage ill be very disappointed. Has anyone else felt this way? But my excitement does outweigh my fears! :

regansly · April 2013

This is my first and I didn't wait to tell our families. There is no way I would want to go through this early stuff without my families advice. I'm 5 weeks too!

Neibert13 · April 2013

Neibert13 · April 2013

Krokedangel · April 2013

Hi I'm 5 weeks as well so excited going to my first appt today !!! Lots of cramping for the past 2 wks but u e been told as long as there is no bleeding I'm ok

nam88 · April 2013

Hi!

I just found out I was 5 weeks pregnant on Friday and throughout the weekend I had symptoms like sore breasts, extreme fatigue and moodiness.All of a sudden all those symptoms are gone today....not really sure how to take this. My first appointment isn't until the 14th of May

MaggieChase · May 2013

I'm starting week five today. Sore boobs, a little cramping and moodiness already. I also can't seem to focus at work. The most scary thing, though, is that my appetite is through the roof! I don't know if I should be this hungry all the time at this stage!

wcami · May 2013

I am feeling the same way ... I am always hungry but nothing looks good or it looks like something that is going to make me throw up or worse give me heart burn. I walk around with a spit bottle and sleep with a towel under my tongue to soak up the excessive saliva. They say I am 5 weeks based on my LMP but I think I am little further than that because I feel like these symptoms are too much for 5 weeks!!!

wcami · May 2013

Oh yes I feel that fear. I wake up in the morning hoping to still have morning sickness to confirm I am still pregnant.. I think it's because we want the baby so much we fear the possibility of losing it. I make sure I do everything the doctor tells me, take my prenatal vitamins and try to eat although everything looks bad to eat!!!

Goldiva · May 2013

I went to the doctor for the second time this week and the nurse said that we am 5 weeks. We are superexcited! Not many changes other than a bit more sleepy/tender breasts off and on. I took a home test Sunday and it was postitive so I went to the doctor Tuesday to confirm. They took my hcg and progesterone levels twice this week and my numbers are good and have increased in two days. For precaution I go back next week for 3rd check since my Dr. appt. is not until the 29th. I am 40 with no kids and had a miscarriage in 2010 so we don't mind going as much as we need to, Look forward to the chats.

Alinkaciao · May 2013

Hi there, same here. My breasts are super sore. I was exhausted just a few times I think because I cut out coffee and a few days before I found I was pregnant I had a triple Americano coffee and at the end of the day just completely passed out! I pee a lot but much of nausea.

Teamfuzzyknickers · May 2013

5 weeks and 6 days according to my app here! As soon as I was three days late I had a mild knawing they weren't cramps really in my tummy for a few days, lots of fatigue, sore boobs, and mild constipation. Congrats on baby! :

Austin0825 · May 2013

I'm going in to my 5th week right now. I have been feeling fine as well. I'm not tired and I'm not having any symptoms except sore breasts. I'm sure you're totally fine!

PinkDee · May 2013

I'm 5 weeks also: don't think about the bad even though sometimes it's normal because we want to make sure our baby is good, I have also had those worries but I just pray about it. Moms especially in the first trimester are very paranoid lol, when I was pregnant withy first child I was worried because I thought he didn't have a nose! Lol I couldn't see it well in the ultra sounds. N thought he was missing it that's how paranoid we mommies can get! Lol

newmom2014 · May 2013

Congrats! I will be 5 weeks this week. This past week however I have felt like crap! Tired, bloated, crampy and I seem to get out of breath a little quicker. This is my first so I am really not too sure what to expect but I hear this is what my friends have gone through.

newmom2014 · May 2013

Hi Higgins,

I have been so thirsty as well! I cant get enough water so far. And i guess its a good thing that my morning coffee isn't too appealing this past week Sad

balmond · May 2013

no i wouldnt be concerned.. this is my 5th pregnancy and all mine have been diff.. some i had morning sickness bad others none at all!! i think we get paranoid wen somethin isnt riteor in my case comparing this preg to the others makes me worry more.. u may end up gettin morning sickness a few wks down to road!! Good luck and congrats to all!!!! :

OceanSun247 · May 2013

Hello fellow mommytobe! I'm about 5 weeks 4 days right now, and have had breast tenderness for a couple weeks, and fatigue for about a week. I've only been slightly nauseated twice, but it didn't last long. I'm really hoping that feeling doesn't come back, lol. This is my first pregnancy and my husband and I are thrilled, but I'm super scared and paranoid about doing everything right. Is anyone else having these feelings?

OceanSun247 · May 2013

Reading your post just made me feel so much better about my eating habits! I heard its normal to have cravings and aversions, but I've just been pretty "meh" as far as food goes. Just this morning I could tell I was starving, but even walking through the grocery store literally nothing looked good to me. When I did finally eat I felt full immediately. I can't stop drinking though! This is so exciting but getting slightly annoying. lol

thedesjardins · May 2013

I am five weeks along with my husband and I's first baby. I'm feeling the fatigue and am hungry often but thankfully I have very little nausea. Congratulations to you all!

moniquejones11 · May 2013

Not by yourself !!!! 5 weeks just found out I'm pregnant with my first lil person hehe slightly fatigued cranky without coffee for now :

vanessadoffo · May 2013

First time 2014 mommy to be here as well. Hubby and I are superexcited! Nervous and anxious of bodily changes to come as well. I agree I miss my coffee. I do allow maybe 4oz's a day but want to wean off and maybe switch to green tea since im paranoid.

J2LAdams · May 2013

5 weeks today with first child. Still doesn't seem real.

vanessadoffo, I am super paranoid about the caffeine as well. When I called to make my first prenatal appt, they encouraged me to stop all caffeine even though I've read that it's ok for one cup. Right now I'm doing about the same as you and hope at some point to switch over to red raspberry leaf tea.

Other than that, just riding the wave and enjoying my almost-symptom-free week before nausea sets in!

melmgarcia · May 2013

Newbie here! According to my last period, Im 5 weeks today. At drs office right now waiting for results of their urine test to get my first appt scheduled. Im very nervous and anxious, had an ectopic pregnancy last July, i didnt last but 2 weeks pregnant till I ended up in ER for emergency surgery. My tube ruptured and I was bleeding internally. : So praying all is well this time around. Congrats to all! HUgs! :

Paradis0928 · May 2013

I'm 5 weeks n starting to feel a little nauseous!

internetwife · June 2013

No morning sickness here. I've always woken up queasy my whole life, maybe I'm used to it. I eat a yogurt or piece of toast to calm my stomach and I'm fine. I get sore breasts every now and again. Drink lots of water. I can't get enough of it lately. Don't worry, and if you still feel concerned talk to your doctor about it or a support system close to you.

CFedewa · June 2013

I'm 5 weeks with our first : I am feeling tired but that's it...so far.

Cat&Jeff1 · June 2013

Me as well..we had a miscarriage last June and it's taken us almost a year to get pregnant again! Really praying this one stays and at the same time SUPER excited! Almost 5 weeks. Been feeling tired, peeing a lot, cramps and sore boobs.

Congrats to all!

CelestialSky · June 2013

I am also 5 weeks with my first! I still can't get used to hearing or saying that I'm preganant! It hasn't fully sunken in. I just took a test this morning! I already have sore breasts and have just started noticing I have to pee a lot! Congratulations to you!

Whisper414 · June 2013

Me me me : this is my first baby and I'll be Doing it alone so very scared right now.

Whisper414 · June 2013

I feel the exact Same way and this is my first too.

AEskins4 · June 2013

I am feeling the same. This is my first child and I'm very excited but I'm also terrified of miscarriage. I wish there was a way to test your HCG levels at home so you know if they are going up or not.
