Answer 1

Yes, I had all of the above, all the way through with my first baby. Your body will be going through lots of changes and your hormones will be running wild and making you more emotional. Sleep when you need to sleep and eat well and if you can't be bothered doing anything, then don't do it. Some babies take more from their mothers than others. My second pregnancy was bliss. So relax and put your feet up, if your not feeling too good.

Answer 2

I had all of the above except for the runny nose. You may be experiencing some allergies or just a cold. Your body is more prone to colds and other illnesses when you are pregnant. It could also be from all of the crying. I cried when I saw commercials with babies in them. I also had extremely low blood sugar that caused me to pass out at random times with no warning. It took me about 3 months to get it under control. Basically everything you though you knew about your body is changing right now. Don't let it bother you but always remembeer to let your doctor know everything no matter how trivial it may seem to you. I had dry skin and chapped lips and didn't think anything of it. Turns out I was dehydrated so much I was admitted to the hospital. Good luck and congratulations.

All your symptoms are completely normal. Not all women experience the same symptoms. Tiredness, try to take a nap or rest as much as possible, this will also help with some of the nausea. Cramping is d/t your uterus growing, this will pass in time as well. Crying spell, just your hormones. Usually by the second trimester some of your symptoms should pass. It's usually the best time of your pregnancy. By the 3rd trimester you once again begin to feel tired, you may begin to experience braxton hicks, and many frequent trips to the rest room may be required d/t baby become much larger and putting pressure on your bladder. If you have any concerns at anytime consult your midwife or OBGYN. Also, a doula may be helpfull as well. This a labor assistant who will help make your labor experience a positive one, they will also meet with you during your preg. and after if you want. Lots of things for a new mom to think about. Enjoy this time, it will go fast.!

Answer 4

Hi yes to most of the above on different pregnancies (I'v had four)
but the most significant symptom I had which told me I was pregnant on all four was just before my period should of been due so very early I think about four weeks I would get this strange metallic taste in my mouth and it would last for a couple of days and that was my first sign of pregnancy every time. Only I chose to ignore it the forth time thinking it was in my head and couldn't possibly be pregnant but sure enough at 10 weeks realised I was pregnant again there was so much else going on in my life at the time and we were in the middle of a house move so it really came as a huge shock! it took about 2 weeks for it to sink in just couldn't believe no morning sickness and I had it so bad three times before on my three boys and yes you guessed it I had my darling little girl with a problem free pregnancy she is without doubt the light in my life and I am so lucky to have her she was just meant to be. That's not to say I don't love and adore my boys because I do but it was just the icing on the cake having my daughter to finish my family what is the word ahh yes serendipity.

Answer 5

Yes to all! The sneezing/runny nose is your respiratory system cleansing itself. Just try to count to 10 before reacting and exercise some self control. If you will allow yourself, you will feel better while pregnant than any other time. Don't over emphasize that you are prego, and that the world revolves around you. Good Luck and it will get better!

Answer 6

you sure are having most of the typical first -time pregnant, first trimester symptoms, -except the stuffy nose which may be due to allergens in the air. have you heard of pica- a craving for unusual and exotic types of food including wood, ash etc,? don'y worry, you'll soon get over them once you enter the second trimester, when you'll enjoy being pregnant! Happy pregnancy and motherhood!!

Answer 7

Oh boy yes!!! Even though these symptoms may be awful the end result is well worth it. Strange as it may seem I envy you, I always loved being pregnant, even with the morning sickness that i had really badly with the girls. Congratulations and enjoy every moment it really doesn't last forever!!!

Answer 8

Yes, i had everything but the runny nose. I have heard women say they do experience cold symptoms. I also craved odd foods when not feeling sick...lol !!!!

Answer 9

I don't remember having the runny nose....unless I cried a lot, but yes, the symptoms do seem familiar.
