Answer 1

Your Growth and Development

You are definitely starting to grow by 8 weeks pregnant inside as your uterus continues to expand, however it is likely that you still are not showing much on the outside. This is particularly true of first time moms, though as we mentioned you will likely start feeling some tightening along your waistline. You may want to start looking for maternity jeans.

Your healthcare provider might tell you that your uterus is now about the size of a grapefruit by pregnancy at 8 weeks. That is a lot of progress from its pre-pregnancy state, where it was smaller than a plum!

Women who have been pregnant before often report showing sooner than they did with their first pregnancy. While it is not uncommon to not start showing until the fifth month the first time around, many moms report that they started showing as early as eight weeks with their second and third pregnancies. If you are carrying twins or triplets, you will start showing sooner than your singleton peers, as your babies will be taking up a lot more room in the uterus.

Mothers Are Experiencing
At Week 8
Changes in You
During pregnancy at 8 weeks it is very likely that you have started to notice some breast changes. Aside from some tenderness you may notice that your breasts appear slightly enlarged. Most women will experience some breast growth during pregnancy week by week, particularly near the end of pregnancy when the breasts prepare to make breast milk for the baby. You may even start thinking of looking into nursing clothing basics.

Your waistline may continue to seem thick to you, though onlookers will not be able to tell you are pregnant. You are probably consumed with fatigue, and still battling some nausea. Remember that the symptoms associated with early pregnancy pass with time, and most women go on to find their pregnancies rewarding and enjoyable.

If you are having a particularly rough time with sore breasts, consider purchasing a supportive maternity bra. You should consider buying one a size or two bigger than your normal size, as you will need room to grow during pregnancy. A maternity bra may in fact be one of your very first purchases, even before you buy any maternity or baby clothes!


Some women notice some mild abdominal cramping midway through their first trimester. This is a very common experience and may continue for several weeks. The cramping is usually mild and does not cause any harm. Your physician may recommend you rest and stay off your feet if you are having abdominal cramping. Remember that your body is also accommodating a growing fetus, and your uterus is stretching, a process that might cause some discomfort over time. If you have any unusual abdominal pain or cramping however that is persistent and worrisome, or if you experience any cramping accompanied by bleeding be sure to contact your healthcare provider's office right away.

You may be having a lower backache by now. This is common and is a result of the pressure the uterus is applying to the low part of the spine. You may be experiencing a sharp pain in your buttocks and along the side of your thigh as well. This is due to the uterus placing pressure on the sciatic nerve that innervates the buttocks and side of your leg. If these discomforts are troublesome, you may be asked to rest and have physical therapy.

Answer 2

Did you have unprotected sex and miss your pill??? You have a 1% chance of being pregnant. Have you missed your cycle? Well to ease your fears, go and take a preg test (blood). When you are 8 weeks pregnant, some people don't even know that they are. I know I didn't until I was 9 weeks. The only way to be sure is visit your doctor and take a test.

Hope this helps!

Answer 3

I can tell you that you wouldn't feel movement at 8 or 9 Weeks. If your pregnancy test is negative, it's 99.9% sure you are not pregnant. If you still feel you are, you can see a doctor for a blood test. Women can convince themselves they are pregnant and produce symptoms, even when they aren't. If you are having your period like normal, the test is negative, and you are on the pill, you are not pregnant, sorry. Many of the early pregnancy symptoms mimic PMS, maybe you are just experiencing more PMS than you are used to.

Answer 4

first of all, sometimes being on the pill can make you miss a period, its not uncommon.

Bloatiness of the tummy is pretty normal, for a missed period, and also the cramping doesn't really go away.

If you were pregnant, then the test would show a positive, as the hormone rises quickly, in the first few weeks.

If you are still unsure, take another pregnancy test, early morning pee.

If you are still worried go and see your doctor.
Good luck.x.

Answer 5

The birth control pill fluctuates your hormones, and can do tricks with your body. You wouldn't feel fluttering at 8 or 9 weeks, so there is something else going on. You should call your doctor and schedule an appointment.

Answer 6

I don't know what to expect if your 8 weeks pregnant but if so then you would have stopped getting your period. This could be something worse so I suggest you go to a doctor.

Answer 7

Go get a blood test. It is possible to get pregnant on the pill. If you take a certain cough syrup, antibiotics can weaken the pill, certain cold pills. Go get a test sweetie.

Answer 8

since im only 14 teen i think i should tell you by what i have seen. i think you should go to the hospital and see because all of those test that come from stores like walgreen and cvs might not always tell you the truth. so ust to make sure. and some pills dont work byy what i have seen on the internet. well just to be sure go to the hospital and check.

Answer 9

if anything first you should miss a period.....have you been on any antibiotics because they seem to cut off the pill so there could still be a possiblity...but a blood test is the most postive test you can take and it will tell you the truth......

Answer 10

well definitly missed period, but u wouldnt feel a baby till 20 weeks. sometimes if u worry too much about being pregnant your body will make u think you are.
mind over matter
