Anyone know how far the round ligaments of the uterus stretch out? I've had weird hot/burning sensations and muscle tension radiating out towards my hips. It's not ovary pain, as it feels muscular. I'm sure it's just everything stretching and getting ready, just wondering how far those ligaments go... or if it's muscles? Strange feeling! I've had a feeling like I've done too many situps today too, even though I haven't done any!

Squirrel I'm wondering that too... I've had quite a few twinges in the front part of my uterus, and a bit of tension in my hips now and then. Pretty far though, I'm guessing.

I'm having some AF like cramps, too. She'd be just ready to leave if she had shown. It's the first time in my life I've ever missed my period. I've always had a regular 28 day cycle, it's weird still she didn't show, haha!

I finally decided to take something for the constipation. It's been a week and I've been miserable. I used to be so regular before getting pregnant, and I even took a nap today and dreamed about pooping, so it was time.

I have had wicked constipation as well. My mom told me to drink some prune juice, which is super nasty. It helped me go, but it was still really hard... Pun intended! What did u end up taking and did it work?

I took Dulcolax, as per the safe medications from my doctor's recommendation on their medications safe during pregnancy website. I had taken it before when I had constipation issues after surgery and it worked wonders. I finally went just a bit ago! I, too, extremely dislike anything prune (when taking painkillers after surgery and on a liquid diet and couldn't have any fiber, I had to drink prune juice and eat baby food prunes, YUCK!).

Ladies, I have been feeling cramps and most of the time they come and go. Used to that. Few occasional pokes. I get nervous when I get this constant pressure though! Like a week ago and today! It's mostly present when sitting and in bed.

Also mild nausea on and off today. Mostly switching with hunger! And don't even get me started on constipation lol. Started with Benefiber today!

I have pretty minimal symptoms too. A little nausea at times, general lack of appetite, and exhaustion. A few crampy feelings but not much now.

I did just now wipe a little dull pinkish cm, which made my heart stop momentarily, but I know it can happen and not be an issue. Though it does worry me slightly cos I haven't DONE anything, so dunno why it'd randomly spot like that?? But trying not to think too much about it, cos either way there really isn't anything I can do or change, so what will be, will be.

I announced on Facebook last week, having told all our family in the days before, so everyone knows for us!!

I had the exact same pink yesterday, at 5w4d....nothing today though. I read that the embryo doubles in size from week 5 to 6, so it might be from growing so much?

I've just had this tonight so now I am back to freaking out. Geez I did not expect early pregnancy to be so awful and exciting at the same time!

The whoooooole pregnancy is like this! Lol. Something always pops up to worry you.

I have been feeling nauseous and haven't had any more pink, so feeling OK about it all so far

 

[PnkPolkaDots]

Those of you who have been pregnant before and had early morning sickness... When did it start going away?? I'd take about any other symptom right now.

Lol, when I was pregnant with my son I had it into my third trimester. I hope it doesn't last that long for you. I know it seems bad now, but it does get better

 

[Luvspnk31]

Emma, I've been having that "wet" feeling on and off too. Really annoying.

I know I'm proabably being paranoid, but I've been having some on and off pain on my right side, and my mind goes immediately to ectopic. The pain is above my waist, and a little bit into my back, and also down my leg a little. I almost wonder if it's a little sciatica? Any opinions? The pain isn't bad, and it is kind of migrating and isn't totally constant. Not really sure what to think.

Teacup, I'm so sorry for your loss. Praying for you.

Thanks Denyse! I hope it doesn't go into my third trimester! Was it just as bad the whole time or did it ease up later on? I could with low grade nausea the whole time!

How are you feeling?

 

[flyingduster]

My nausea continued off and on the whole pregnancy, and the few times I vomited were scattered along the whole pregnancy too... GENERALLY it improves after sorta 14ish weeks once the placenta really has kicked in properly, but may not actually lift totally, and may continue the entire time too...

I get an almost 'stitch' feeling up in my waist/ribs area at times, but I reckon its just everything moving and stretching and hormones affecting it too.... I also think I'm more aware too!!! Lol.


So now my husband is home saying his bosses are trying to push to get him in to this new job before Christmas!! Eep! We don't even know if he's got the job, but I thought we had until mid January, if he got it, to move town. Sounds like we may be up and moving very soon!

How are you feeling?

When it first started it was terrible...I was throwing up and the nausea was bad. It all started one day when I smelled my husband's coffee....he had to pull over to the side of the road. That's what started it for me. So far I've been able to still drink coffee this pregnancy, but I don't have it every day like I used to. I'm pretty sure that soon I won't be able to drink it at all.

I'm feeling okay - the nausea and metallic taste picks up when I don't eat for a little while. Other than that, sore boobs and really tired. Kinda excited to be 6 weeks now, only another 6 to go before my scan lol.

 

[RileysMummy]

Ah hello! How exciting to find someone the same stage sorry for your loss have you had any cramps? Mine are sorta like period pains, my af would be the upcoming Tuesday x

Mine would have been due Tuesday as well! I had faint positives Tuesday and Wednesday and got a nice line and a yes on a digital on Thursday. I've only had some lower back pain, no cramping. Makes me really nervous tho and anytime I feel wet I feel like I'm bleeding but it's just CM lol

Ah wow we are alike lol x

'Glad' it's not just me with cramps. Had another really faint with an ic, so getting a FR today for tomorrow xx

 

[ellitigg]

Urgh. Anyone else feel a bit like someone put a ball of lead in your stomach? I guess it's just gas but it makes me feel a bit Breakfast seemed to help a bit. It's like a hangover.

Yes!!! That *heavy* bloated feeling is one of the main symptoms that made me test!! It has eased a little, but is still there.

 

[WanaBaba]

Wow just had to catch up with around 14 pages lol.
Teacup I am so sorry for your loss

Welcome and congrats to the new ladies

I have been finding it so hard to sleep the past few nights, I am shattered but I keep waking up and then it takes forever to fall back to sleep. Was really worried on Saturday afternoon as I had really bad pains they felt like very strong period cramps and also very achey legs, has anyone else had achey legs? Luckily it was gone by Sunday though and now back to having on and off random mild cramps. I still have awful sickness feeling which never goes away but yesterday I was able to eat Sunday lunch which was great haha. I had to take my sea bands off as I woke up this morning and my hands were numb?!
I plan on breastfeeding this time, it didn't work out with my daughter and I didn't get much support so gave up and went to formula but regretted it not long after and always have so gonna try my hardest this time to make it work!
I've been feeling so misserable the past week or so and not sure why I think the sickness played a big part but the past few days I've been feeling more cheerfull so I'm pleased about that as felt so guilty feeling so down when I should be feeling on top of the world! I am so grateful and so thankful and feeling so lucky though to have this little bean in my tummy I still cannot believe it

 

[LittleMinx]

Morning..

after a week of having the kids home with HFMD i am now child free,.. I love my kiddos so much, but they are such crazy little beings and i am now shattered! Time to relax

 

[MummyJade]

Ive not felt sick at all today! I have no idea if bubs is boy or girl!

Ive sent OH to Tesco to get me food gotta love him...
Im tempted to get an early scan just before xmas so we know all is ok to tell family...

Anyone else thinking the same?! X

I'm having a private scan on the 23rd for exactly the same reason. I want to tell family at Christmas, as they'll guess anyway, and I want to tell them with some certainty that we're pregnant and everything is going okay. I found a cheap-ish one for London - £75. All the other ones I found here were £150.

x

Yeah are cheapist is 80 which I dont think is too bad considering..
I rang one place and they wanted 150...
I wanna ours on the 23rd... So hopefully they can fit us in!

[KirinM]

My nausea is definitely getting worse which is sort of reassuring and my boobs are pretty sore now. I have a day off work today (has holiday to use up before the end of the year) and I'm probably going to spend it lying down as I'm still struggling to sleep so feel shattered during the day.

Has anyone else lost their appetite? I don't think I've felt hungry for days!
