Joining but nervous....

[mollee19]

Hi everyone,

Congratulations to all of you! I am joining after getting a positive prg. test earlier this week, after TTC for a while. My EDD is 2/17. I have an almost 5 year old and had a miscarriage at 8 weeks two years ago. I'm trying really hard to be mellow about my symptoms but am soooo over analyzing everything.

I just wanted to check and see if anyone else has had their sore boobs become less sore in the 5th week? I know I should just relax but I woke up today to normal feeling boobs after they had been feeling sore and full. I've also been having achy cramps off and on for the last week but no spotting.

Thanks ladies!! We want this little bean to stick!

Congratulations and welcome! I am also experiencing cramps for two days. I am not worried about that, though. I think you should do your best to relax and let your body do the work. I know it's hard. :

Welcome

I spend last night on the couch with my feet up and a huge glass of water due to cramps. They were super painful but like you I have not had any spotting. Hang in there!

Congrats and welcome!

I too have had the full sore boobs that seem to come and go. I was wondering about this... all of my symptoms seem to be here one day and gone the next. With the nausea this wouldn't seem weird to me but the boobs was very strange. Had me wondering / worrying too!

Congrats and welcome!

Congrats!! I totally understand your nervousness. My symptoms came and went the first couple weeks and it was tough not to over analyze. Things didn't start gettting obvious until 7 wks or so... Hang in there!

The cramps are normal. I never had them first pregnancy, but definitely had them second and now third.

I don't have sore boobs at all, but I'm still nursing, and I think that affects things for me. I only had sore boobs with my first pregnancy. Second and third have both been while nursing, and I haven't gotten the least bit of soreness.

My big noticeable symptom is that my jeans are TIGHT today.

My symptoms definitely come and go--yesterday I was so nauseaus and fatigued I was literally on the couch for 6 straight hours and today I have been fine and went on a hike and then ate a cheeseburger! I do worry about it but try not to-- it's just the way it is, I guess.

Thanks for the encouragement everybody!

My boobs have become more sore throughout the day and I almost threw up from the smell of the penguins at the zoo today so... I think that I really just need to relax!
