Cramps, Feelings, Thoughts

I received my BFP on 10/22. Doctor confirmed on 10/24 with urine and blood tests. I’ve had intermittent cramping everyday since then. Mild, dull, sharp on one side and then the other side, all over, some would feel like period cramps that would last for 30secs to a min. I’ve had all kinds of cramps and thankfully not all in 1 day. I would get a combination of these. Ever since I found out I felt like I’ve been in such of a daze. Maybe from excitement, maybe from being nervous like oh this is happening, to I pray everything is going ok in there etc. I feel like yesterday and today I’m feeling more myself. Yes I’m still getting cramps but I feel like they’ve substantially subsided. I’ll get a moment or two like oh ok there’s a cramp. But I’m not in this daze where it’s like I feel different what’s happening. Feeling more like myself again. Which is great! At moments I would think I’m feeling a little to normal maybe I should take a test to ensure my little bean is still in there. I’ve been getting little hints of other things starting to kick into gear. Constipation (which I was finally able to have a good one on one with the toilet today) praise Jesus!! Heartburn I’ve always had so this is a BAU symptom for me. Some intermittent quick spouts of low back pain. In just one spot. Some moments of light nausea. I had my blood retaken today to see if my HCG levels have rose since 53 on 10/24 @ 4 weeks. Also getting my progesterone checked with this blood work. Praying my HCG levels have doubled, tripled or quadrupled. First OB appt is Friday. I Will be 5 weeks and 2 days. My biggest mission for this visit is to rule out ectopic. This just scares me. My primary did some light feeling around on my pelvic area and even tried to see if we could hear a heart beat knowing it’s still too early just to help ease my mind. This is my 1st pregnancy. I’m just a big ball of thoughts/nerves. Once I hear directly from my OB I’m in the clear for that I think my mind will be at true peace knowing going forward for the weeks to come that this pregnancy is truly in gods hands. Just wanna throw this out there for all you other ladies, whatever comes your way in this pregnancy know gods got you!! Praying we all have a happy, healthy 9 months and we can look back at our posts in this app and say man that was an adventure and to think we’d all do it again.

May our pregnancy’s be nothing short of amazing!!
