personal experiences needed pls?

Question

hi everyone,

the reason i need personal experiences for this Q of mine is because i know all pregnancies are differently unique. so i would really appreciate having somone tell me if they have gone through what i am going through now so i know i am not the only one or that i am not going through any kinda unusual experience. thank you all for understanding.

ok, i've been having the regular symptoms of pregnancy at its early stage (3-5 wks) such as mild, on-off tummy cramps, nausea when i wake up and that persists till some point of the day, mild constipation, high appetite, gas (farting, burping) and bloatedness...but sometimes when i wake up in the morning (like today) i feel so normal llike i am not pregnant!

is it normal to have that kinda skipped symptoms? are the things (as mentioned above) i experience as symptoms common?can i pls have any of you mothers, mothers-to-be and other kind souls to help me out here.
thank you all for takin time to consider my Q.

god bless

Answer 1

You have described exactly how I felt during early pregnancy, although you are one step ahead of me. I thought it was just my normal PMS, but my partner suggested I do a pregnancy test because he thought that it had gone on too long.
Some days, I felt great, others, I felt awful.

Then during the rest of my pregnancy, all I could do was lie down on the sofa because I felt too dizzy to do anything. I even had to quit my job at 10 weeks pregnant because of this, but almost 16 months ago, I had a perfectly healthy baby girl.

Also, I completely lost my appetite during my pregnancy, and could never eat much at a time. I was so shocked when after I gave birth, my appetite came back- I'd forgotten what it was like to eat a full meal!

Oh, another thing- sorry, this answer just keeps going on and on, I couldn't bear the smell or sight of chopped tomatoes, they made me feel physically ill. I've only just been able to look at them again.

Okay, I think that's it.

I wish you a happy healthy pregnancy.

Answer 2

It's fine to feel fine and might i add you lucky soul! i can help you out on the morning sickness though. if you try taking a b complex supplement, you won't feel as nauceous or not at all. for better quality b complex (cuz we all want the best for our babies) try looking at a health food store. your high appetite is to keep your baby fed, but eat healthy fresh things. gas is gas so your baby doesn't toxify. mild constipation means you should eat more laxitive encouraging things like steamed broccoli and cheese. and might i suggest one of those urine strips to make sure you're not dumping essential nutrients (which should also be available at the health food store). take care and god bless.

Answer 3

When I was pregnant, the only thing I experienced was terrible heart burn that grew worse as the pregnancy went further.

I only had a bit of nausea, no vomitting, no cravings, etc.

I went to the doctor to make sure I was okay, and she assured that I was lucky and just fine.

The heartburn was REALLY bad though. I was taking so many Tums a night that it was insane!

Answer 4

yes, you're about to enter what I call the "golden time" of a pregnancy.

You'll feel better, sexy and you'll have these brand new honking boobs...time for you and him to sex it up because in 2 months you'll be getting uncomfortable and romance will be a chore.

Enjoy all the phases though, each is unique and wonderful. Have a healthy baby-

Answer 5

When I found out I was pregnant I was already almost 3 months along...how I found out???....I woke up one morning,got ready for work, when I put my pants on, i could barely get the clasp shut I had to suck in my stomach. Now before I got pregnant I never had trouble fitting into my clothes,my weight never fluctuated.....this totally floored me, I got to work at 6 am,shortly after arriving I bent over to get something off the floor and my pants busted open...the clasp went flying. Right away I ran accross the store to get a pregnancy test,came out positive, so i went to get another, thinking it must be wrong, again...positive. How could this happen? I've had no symptoms...besides weight gain i guess...but it wasnt obvious...I was tired a lot,but i had just started dating someone new and i was always out late,and working early. My morning sickness started the very next day....weird.I called my obgyn and told her i took 2 positive pregnancy tests and have already started to gain weight,my periods have always been weird,sometimes not getting one for a few months, so it was hard for us to tell how far along i was because i couldnt give her a date of my last period. She made me come in,gave an ultrasound and examination and determined i was pretty close to 3 months. My morning sickness went on...i vomited once every morning and that was it, except for about 3 1/2 months along i was sick for almost a week straight, i couldnt leave my house, i vomited up everything that went down my throat,if i drank water..i threw it up within 2 minutes,everything i ate came up within 2-5 minutes, i had to use suppositories to try and control the nausea..but i swear they werent working.After that episode I was fine, back to vomiting once every morning for the next month..then i was done. Then.....hahaha, just wait until your baby starts controlling what you eat!....I loved pizza hut, i ate there everyday for lunch with my co-workers, until one day after lunch i got very sick, the next day we ate there again and the same thing happened,the next day i ate salad bar instead of pasta and i was fine. I ate spaghetti one night at hom and i got sick.....my baby wouldnt let me eat anything with spaghetti sauce/pizza sauce, that lasted about 3 weeks.I had a pretty easy pregnancy...not much morning sickness (except for the one week), i had no symptoms..atleast none that bothered me, i did get heartburn in about my 6th month until the end...that started when i got up one night and took a drink of a coke.
Dont worry....you DON'T want to feel like a fat pig throughout your whole pregnancy,you dont want to feel gassy or bloated all the time...your baby will give you a break sometimes.Just wait until he/she starts kicking...I mean REALLY kicking..like when your going about your day and all of a sudden you get the wind knocked out of you...(the nice kick in the lungs) and there is nothing you can do about it.......

Answer 6

Mother of 2 with 3 pregnancies..... its normal.

Answer 7

yes we all felt like that too, i used to fart a lot i mean a lot a lot a lot and sometimes u dont even feel anything, but after ur 5th month u will because u will feel the heaviness in ur uterus and ur baby kicking and moving a lot so dont worry

Answer 8

You will have those days (and take advantage of them!!!). Symptoms will come and go - one week, you may be constipated, the next week have diaherra - as long as they aren't causing major discomfort or last too long, just take them as they come!

Answer 9

I suggest you go get a home test and take that and if that does not give you an answer then get seen by a doctor.
