What’s “normal”?

Question

So I just got a positive test yesterday and today. I’m still processing that this is actually happening haha
What can I expect in these first few weeks? Should I expect any cramping or anything? I feel like I’ve had a few dull pulls but nothing else.
I’ve never been pregnant so I’m clueless 😂

Answer

Everyone is different. I didn’t have symptoms until 7 weeks. You can have cramping but it should be light, and can be due to insufficient hydration. So if I have cramps I try to up my water intake and it helps. Around the 7 week mark is when I started getting tired and nauseous. The nausea lasted until 13 weeks. But some people never experience that at all. Good luck and try not to dissect every symptom! Just take care of yourself, make sure you’re eating, drink your water, and take your prenatals.

Answer

everyone is different but i had lots of cramping, bloating, tender breasts, and the weirdest thing was i was SOOO gassy. never been a gassy person but baby definitely changed that.

Answer

first time preggo here too! everyone is extremely different so if you experience something you feel no one else has its okay! the first two weeks 4-6 i had light cramping almost felt like AF, the uterus is expanding so this is normal. i experienced light nausea around 5 weeks and then at week 6 morning sickness hit me so be prepared for trial and error if it does happen to you to find something that will help ease your nausea. i ate every two hours bland foods and drank only in between meals, i wore sea sickness bands and kept crackers by my bed. eventually i asked for zofran and i take unisom tablets every night to help me sleep and to help the nausea. I also experienced some round ligament pain which hurts! you can look that one up its not fun but it comes and goes and other than that i’ve just been trying to survive this first trimester i’m week 11 now so i can see the end of the tunnel😂
