I hope it's okay I'm popping in. I like to go through boards since I've been through it already and can help people with their questions.
1) SYMPTOMS : I had NONE. Honestly, none. I had no periods and out of the 2 years with my ex, only slept with him 2x that week for the final times (I realized I probably should try to stop with it) and sure enough, pregnant. If it wasn't for a routine pregnancy test before surgery, I would have taken my pill to jumpstart my period and miscarried. So ladies, even though you don't have a symptom doesn't mean you're not pregnant! I thought it was a load of hooty patooty, but nope. First symptom was 13 weeks and it was smell...only Cigarette smoke. Luckily I found out at 6 weeks and stopped full blown by 9 weeks, so I didn't have to endure the cigarette smell.
2) PREGNANCY TESTS : I took 8 to really believe I was pregnant. Digi's, Cheap ones, FRER's...and some would turn out dark and some light. So if you have a dark pregnancy test and then a light one, don't fret so much. It could be just the type of test! I took an answer and it was REALLY light compared to FRER's and I'm still cooking.
3) DON'T FRET : Try not to fret. I understand, I was there, and even now I still fret, but try not to. Try and distract yourself...you think it'll end in first tri, it doesn't. If anything, it gets worse. Once you start feeling them move, you FREAK if you haven't for even an hour. You're worried about the cord, you're worried about if they're okay or if when you push on your stomach to get them to move that you're actually hurting them...it never stops. So try and enjoy it
4) STRECHING : Your uterus WILL stretch later on and freak you out. It's painful, but hey, it happens. Just go lay down for a bit.
5) HOROMONE : Warning, hormones. I have been great this WHOLE pregnancy, until the hormone spikes happen. At the beginning, and around certain weeks, hormone spikes happen and yes, you will be able to tell when that is...then at the end, it's 24/7. SO prepare yourself to cry for no reason and even cry because you're crying for no reason. To get mad at the little things. It's not all the time, but there are spikes and you'll know.
If anyone needs advice from beginning pregnancy to if you're a single mom (ex left with no reason @ 9 weeks) don't hesitate to write. I hope this helps and I hope you all have a h&h 9 months!
