@GoyaBean913 I agree with @mrsbubbles-2. It would probably be a good idea to call your doctor and let them know you're spotting to see what they'd like you to do. There are lots of reasons to have spotting in pregnancy, sometimes it's completely normal and sometimes it's not, so it's so hard to say. Good luck!

Super queasy and dizzy. I think my first bout of morning sickness is rearing it's ugly head. Thankfully my kids are in gym class. Hopefully this will pass in the next fifteen minutes!

jsnakehole · December 2017

Sorry for double posting- it's totally normal that I had a ton of cramping the past few days and then not a lot of cramping today, right? The cramps were never severe and always came and went. I haven't had any bleeding, my boobs are still sore, and I was queasy this morning.

Maybe I'm just getting used to them so they're barely noticeable when I'm busy? Of course as I'm typing this I get two cramps in a row (maybe my little poppy seed's way of saying 'Calm the hell down, Ma!'). I'm a super nervous preggo, if you couldn't tell.

@jsnakehole - totally 100% beautifully normal. Things are stretching and your little one is burrowing in getting comfy for the next 9 months. Mine are coming and going as well and I think we're pretty close in dating (I'm 5+1 based on O)

My mom asked me to look online at honey baked ham for our Christmas dinner (yes, we are extremely late) and I almost barfed in my work trash can. I haven't had a single aversion yet but apparently turkey and ham are it. Even typing the word ham is making me nauseous.

@jsnakehole I've had way fewer cramps the last few days. I am 5+3 today. I feel like I have been pregnant FOREVERRRRR. Why did I pee on a stick so early? Gah.

Anyone else experiencing sensitive gums? I know all the blood flow causes oral issues. I'm a daily flosser but it's uncomfortable to do it lately.

jsnakehole · December 2017

@Firemanswife11 I've had a little more cramping as the day he gone on. By LMP I'm five weeks tomorrow, but by O I'm probably closer to 4 weeks and change.

My boobs are also super sore and swollen, and I had the joy of throwing up in my mouth a little bit this morning. All in all, this is an adventure.

offtoneverland · December 2017

@jsnakehole @mrsbubbles-2 Now I'm nervous that I haven't had any cramping! But I'm only 4 weeks today so maybe I'll get it later.
@7425cait I haven't had sensitive gums yet but I had it in my last pregnancy. I'm a daily flosser too and it always made me feel bad seeing my gums bleed!

mrsbubbles-2 · December 2017

@offtoneverland no cramping is also perfectly normal. Early pregnancy has such a wide range, it varies from person to person and pregnancy to pregnancy

neeraja_k · December 2017

Does anyone else's deodorant brands stop working while pregnant? I know this is a thing for women generally already, and I usually experience it once or twice a year. But this is insane, this week alone I've tried three different brands and every single one has failed after a couple of days use.

jsnakehole · December 2017

@neeraja_k I've noticed that in extra sweaty lately. It's like my deodorant gives up by around 12:30 each day.

SmashJam · December 2017

@neeraja_k I smell no matter what i do by halfway through the day!

4w3d here! Second pregnancy. Sore breasts beyond words, heartburn, (tmi) constipated, and some mild cramping. Very excited and scared at the same time. Suffered an ectopic rupture in August and had to have my tube removed along with major blood loss. Pray for good things this time around, the ladies here always make me feel better!

mrs_drc_rn · December 2017

@7425cait I had sensitive gums my first pregnancy, but it hasn’t really hit yet.

I am so sorry for all of you ladies dealing with constipation. Pregnancy does the complete opposite to me and I’m going once or twice a day!

lakesideknitter · December 2017

Colace seriously works wonders for constipation, ladies!

izmom28 · December 2017

In my first pregnancy, I had slight nausea (never threw up) from 8-13 weeks.
In my 2nd pregnancy, I never had any morning sickness
I’m 5w2d today, so I’m curious to see where this one will go

I haven’t had many symptoms yet other than not really being hungry. And tired all the time of course. I am experiencing some RLP already but not bad.

junabugtunabug · December 2017

I have heartburn every night while in bed and I hate it. I've never been a heartburn sufferer and only had it once with DD.

nat_kl2018 · December 2017

I'm 4w5d by app and have had pretty bad period-like cramps all week. Yesterday they were quite severe. No spotting or bleeding though, and no other symptoms than sore breasts.
Hcg level was 135 at 15dpo and 460 today (18dpo). Trying very hard not to stress about the cramping - it's subsided now but the muscles feel like they've been through an ab workout! Is that normal??

Cramping is common during pregnancy. No bleeding is a good sign. If you're very worried call your doctor, you should also change your screen name so we can get to know you better!!

Thanks @ecwk. First timer so very nerve wracking, no idea what to expect. Thanks for the tip on username

meeks2020 · December 2017

Since this thread is almost 2 weeks old and 5 pages long, should we make a new one?

junabugtunabug · December 2017

@meeks2020 I think yes!
