Early pregnancy questions and concerns.?

Hi – I am almost 10 weeks pregnant with my first. I just wanted to get some input on what else women experience in the first few months. I’ve been pretty sick and woozy, expecially in the morning; my boobs hurt bad, I’m exhausted and some foods I used to love I don’t anymore.

My concern is that I also have some cramping and spotting. The cramping sometimes is really dull and others is really sharp – it’s usually when I move or twist a certain way. The cramping never lasts for more than a few seconds. The spotting is really dark brown and not a lot – I don’t wear pads but sometimes it’s there when I go to the bathroom. My have had 2 ultrasounds (one at 6.5 wks. and one at 9 weeks when the bleeding started) and the heartbeat is strong in both.

I feel like I am always in a panic about everything. Has anyone else had anything like this? I don’t know if I am going to miscarry or if my pregnancy is healthy or not?

Thanks!

I am 38 weeks pregnant, and had a lot of the same issues you did in the beginning. Your cramping and spotting is most likely just fine. This will not be the first time you cramp, though if it a severe cramp and it lasts longer than a few seconds, let the doctor know. What you really need to worry about is bright red spotting and/or clumps of blood. To be on the safe side, you should tell your doctor about your cramping and spotting anyway, and the doc may tell you to refrain from certain activities (sex included) until the spotting clears up. My spotting went away as I entered my 2nd trimester (around 13 weeks), and everything has been 100% great ever since then. Good luck and congratulations!
