Very normal. I actually felt nausea 1 1/2 weeks before my missed period. and the discharge is normal also...you wil notice all types of different discharge...for me it was mostly the milky discharge you are talking about....oh and the headaches also normal....i know this stage stinks but truth is these should all be looked at as good signs that your baby is healthy and your body is doing its job!!!Good Luck

Reads this. My dear lady.
Tender, swollen breasts
One of the early signs of pregnancy is sensitive, sore breasts caused by increasing levels of hormones. The soreness may feel like an exaggerated version of how your breasts feel before your period. Your discomfort should diminish significantly after the first trimester, as your body adjusts to the hormonal changes.
Fatigue
Feeling tired all of a sudden? No, make that exhausted. No one knows for sure what causes early pregnancy fatigue, but it's possible that rapidly increasing levels of the hormone progesterone are contributing to your sleepiness.
You should start to feel more energetic once you hit your second trimester, although fatigue usually returns late in pregnancy when you're carrying around a lot more weight and some of the common discomforts of pregnancy make it more difficult to get a good night's sleep.
Implantation bleeding
Some women have a small amount of vaginal bleeding around 11 or 12 days after conception (close to the time you might notice a missed period). The bleeding may be caused by the fertilized egg burrowing into the blood-rich lining of your uterus — a process that starts just six days after fertilization — but no one knows for sure.
The bleeding is very light (appearing as red spotting or pink or reddish-brown staining) and lasts only a day or two. (Let your practitioner know if you notice any bleeding or spotting, particularly if it's accompanied by pain, since this can be a sign of an ectopic pregnancy.)
nausea or vomiting
If you're like most women, morning sickness won't hit until about a month after conception. (A lucky few escape it altogether.) But some women do start to feel queasy a bit earlier. And not just in the morning, either — pregnancy-related nausea and vomiting can be a problem morning, noon, or night.
About half of women with nausea feel complete relief by the beginning of the second trimester. For most others it takes another month or so for the queasiness to ease up.
Increased sensitivity to odors
If you're newly pregnant, it's not uncommon to feel repelled by the smell of a bologna sandwich or cup of coffee and for certain aromas to trigger your gag reflex. Though no one knows for sure, this may be a side effect of rapidly increasing amounts of estrogen in your system. You may also find that certain foods you used to enjoy are suddenly completely repulsive to you.
Abdominal bloating
Hormonal changes in early pregnancy may leave you feeling bloated, similar to the feeling some women have just before their period arrives. That's why your clothes may feel snugger than usual at the waistline, even early on when your uterus is still quite small.
Frequent urination
Shortly after you become pregnant, you may find yourself hurrying to the bathroom all the time. Why? Mostly because during pregnancy the amount of blood and other fluids in your body increases, which leads to extra fluid being processed by your kidneys and ending up in your bladder.
This symptom may start as early as six weeks into your first trimester and continue or worsen as your pregnancy progresses and your growing baby exerts more pressure on your bladder.
My dear lady is perfectly normal, congratulations!!!!

Morning sickness is normal during early pregnancy. I heard from a nurse that banana's help with the sickness. However you should be eating more than one meal a day for your baby's sake. You should be getting a lot of folic acid. Make sure you get all of your food groups in. Also you should be taking prenatal vitamins and going for check-up's to make sure everything is ok.

You should take another pregnancy test. For my first pregnancy i was a little sick, and it was normal, but the second one i was dry heaving at 6 and a half weeks, and i had a miscarriage 2 days after that started.

Youre fine. This is all part of early pregnancy, and some women have the nausia and sickness, and head aches and sleep issues clear through.
The discharge is normal.
Theres nothing wrong with you.

Discharge (not blood) is normal. Its from your mucus plug, which helps keep unwanted things out of your uterus.
