Brook~ I am so glad that your apt went well today! I would of been crying if the ob said that to me and then hitting him for giving me a fright.
SamanthaYC~ My ob's would only do the vag u/s until 8 weeks. If it's done on your tummy before then it's really hard to see anything. IDK maybe they just like to make things hard on us.
MustangGTgirl~ I had a ob that would do the first apt and then not see me again until 12 weeks. I hated it. It made me feel like I wasn't important because I was in the 1st trimester. Some Dr's are just jerks and only want to see us after we are out of the "danger zone". I have my 1st/2nd apt on the 18th. I will be 7 weeks 1 day.
BWilliams~ Cramps are normal!! There are so many reasons why we cramp.
1. The baby digs in and some like to dig deep.
2. The placenta will dig in as well. It will dig in the whole first trimester/this can also cause some spotting/bleeding.
3. The round ligaments are having to stretch and this is very painful imo. This will happen through the whole pregnancy.
4. You will have contractions the whole pregnancy so your body can grow as your baby does.
I hope this helps you. Also 20% of pregnant woman will spot/bleed at some point during the 1st trimester. Not all cramping or bleeding means that something is wrong.
Welcome and congrats to all of the new girls!!!!
afm~ I can't seem to stay awake for longer than a few hours at a time today. My maternity clothes came today and I fit them..oh no I'm going to be a cow by the time this baby comes. I have a bump at a day before 6 weeks!! My friends and family have started to rub the bump..lol But it's nice to not to have to wear sweat pants. I have 2 more orders on their way. I guess I could of just went to the store and ordered them but I didn't feel up to the drive that will make me puke and I didn't want to chance falling asleep in the store.

I hope that everyone is well!!
