Question about early pregnancy?

[Anonymous]

I'm curious as to what it feels like to be pregnant early on probly between 8-12 weeks. I am on birth control and a few months ago had a miscarriage and now have had the same symptoms as when I was pregnant but it's lasting longer and a little different. I was 5 weeks when I had the miscarriage and I suspected I was pregnant but never got a positive test until I lost the baby. Now with the same thing and I don't know what's going on, my boobs are big and swollen and hurt all the time, I'm not even wearing a bra anymore and my stomach feels like there's a lot of pressure in my lower abdomen and sometimes I cramp. I sorta feel like I'm gonna start my period but I've felt like this for weeks and nothing. I've also never got a period after the miscarriage, I spotted a few times after sex about a month ago but it stopped within an hour and that was all. I need a new dr because every time I call they tell me it's impossible but it was also impossible for me to get pregnant at first and it happened. Just curious if being pregnant is possible again or if it's just things happening after miscarriage.

Only time will tell, you can always get a test. If you had unprotected sex in the week before the spotting, then it very well could be implantation bleeding. It's hard to tell, you're hormones could have been a little out of whack still. They say it's often easier to conceive after a miscarriage because, of the hormonal rise, although minimal can increase your chances of conception. It wouldn't hurt to get a test. Get a 2 pack. take one for now and if it's negative wait and see if you're period shows in the next week or so. If it doesn't test again.

To be on the safe side, refrain from drinking alcohol or smoking. With my second little one (after a miscarriage) I cramped and spotted a lot, I felt like that time of the month was coming for sure, but to my surprise I was pregnant. Took about 4 tests before going to the doctors, I was that convinced my period was coming. Just take a test and see. Good Luck Girlie :)

That is exactly how I've felt for a couple months now and I just keep thinking I'm hurting an feels like it's gonna start and it just never does. Before the miscarriage my boobs were sore for a few weeks and I was very emotional another reason I'm thinking it's happened again, before I cried when a lady was singing because she was good and I never cry for anything. Lately I've been crying over everything, like every day I'm upset and crying. It usually just last a few min but still happens daily and just weird especially for me. I've noticed the last few nights at around the same times in my lower stomach I can feel something strange. It only lasts a few secs each time I feel it, like just enough that I notice it and then it's gone, Same place I feel the cramps and pressure down low in my stomach is where I feel it. Forgot to ask this in question but when did you first noticed movement and what did it feel like?

[SweetLily89]

I felt movement pretty early for both 15 weeks for baby one and 14 weeks for baby two. For most first time mommy's they don't notice fetal movements till closer to 19-22 weeks when the movements are stronger. It feels like fluttering at first and can be mistake for gas, then the movements get even stronger and at times not so pleasant.

I don't know how long you would be along, if you are pregnant, but the uterus is about the size of you fist in it's natural state and you can feel it in between you're two hip bones. It's easier to feel it while lying down, but if you are far enough along you may be able to feel if it has gotten larger and it should feel firm if you press on it. Any extra tummy roundness this early on would be bloat.

When you felt your stomach did it hurt for a sec while touching it? I've felt my stomach and it feels hard and I feel that bone but it seems to go further up into my stomach. When id masturbate id rest my hand on that bone so I've always known where it was and how it felt. I used to could push behind the bone I guess it would be pushing on my uterus but it would be soft and I could feel the bone and now i can't find that soft spot and it's hard deep inside me like I can't feel the ridge to that bone anymore cause it's just all hard.

It can be a little tender when you press on or around the uterus and it isn't uncommon for that tenderness to continue during pregnancy as the uterus grows and the ligaments stretch. Especially if the baby likes to hang out in the same spot. All the other symptoms you described are symptoms of pregnancy as well as PMS, although being pregnant the first time is almost like PMS times 10 at times especially the first time. The normal breast tenderness before your period can be unbearable while your pregnant, mine hurt so bad, even my bra or shirt touching them made it feel like my nips were being torn off.. I also had a lot of "egg white" like discharge in the beginning as well. As I said before, you will only know for sure after you take the test.

Guess I'll have to take a test, I just keep feeling like my periods coming but doesn't ever happen. I def know what you mean about the boobs, I haven't wore a bra in weeks cause it just hurts too bad. I've noticed the egg white discharge looking stuff but just recently. I had sex Wednesday and thought it was cum still coming out of me but I guess that wouldn't last for a few days. Guess just wait and see. Thank you so much for your help.

No problem, hope you get the test result you're looking for and if you have anymore questions don't be afraid to hit me up :)

Yeah, my mom said that the first pregnancy symptom she always got, even before morning sickness hit, was breast soreness.

Definitely take a test. It sounds possible.
