IS THIS NORMAL?

Question

Sorry if I sound stupid! Just worrying a lot right now. 
Been having some cramps (Which I know is normal) but also have really bad flu symptoms (getting better today). On the internet is says that flu symptoms in early pregnancy can be a sign of ectopic and so does diarrhoea, witch I have also had the last 2 days. Also been struggling to sleep at night and can not stay awake throughout the day. Don’t feel motivated at all. Even to just get out of bed takes a lot of convincing. Meant to be about 11 weeks today. Haven’t seen any GP yet. Going for my first midwife appointment today at 3pm (UK time). 
I will talk to my midwife about it all today but wanted to get some advice on here too. I had a miscarriage on 23rd August 2018. Found out i was pregnant again on Christmas. Happy but scared at the same time. 😑😓

Answer

If you aren’t bleeding with the cramps, you maybe somewhat safe to rule out miscarriage. Usually that comes with bleeding the majority of the time. Cramping, feeling tired, sick, and that sort of thing is normal. You’re still in your first trimester so the sickness may last until after 12 weeks. Once I got into my second trimester the sick feeling went away for me but now it’s back in the third trimester. Of course, right? 😂 anyway, feeling tired is normal. Make sure you’re eating snacks throughout the day to give yourself some energy. The baby is pulling energy from you which is also normal. Cramping can be normal because your uterus is literally expanding to fit baby and your body is changing quickly. I hope you feel better! Congrats on the baby.

Answer

Definitely not ectopic you’d be bleeding already and having a miscarriage. You’re 11 weeks which is why you’re having pain around this time, it’s when the baby makes room for their home for the next 9 month. It can happen around or even earlier.
