Is it normal?
Hormonal Adjustments: Estrogen and progesterone are pivotal in breast preparation for lactation.
Fatigue: A prevalent symptom, intensified by the upsurge in blood volume necessary for fetal development. Excessive fatigue warrants medical consultation.
Weight Considerations: Initial trimester weight gain is minimal, with 1-2 pounds being the norm. Substantial weight gain is expected in later trimesters.
Urinary Frequency: Augmented by hCG, this symptom is typical due to enhanced pelvic circulation, resulting in heightened bladder awareness.

Listen to your body, rest when you can
It’s easy to feel frustrated with your symptoms, but be gentle with yourself
Queasy? Try eating dry toast or plain crackers to settle your nausea
A simple walk a day will help keep the symptoms at bay
Milk, juice, sparkling water, tea, and soups all count as water or fluid intake per day
Teaser for next week
Advancing into the seventh week, expect the persistence of bloating along with potential onset of lower abdominal and back discomfort.
These symptoms, while potentially disconcerting, are typical and manageable with informed self-care practices.

I even did the baking soda and pee. That came out as girl. But every appointment I went to he let hisself be known he a boy 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Thank you! The Dr is reviewing my results, I’m not sure when I go back in for another US but since so low I’m assuming another week they will want to recheck it and go from there.

It is normal to feel so tired at 6w & 4D and have so much lower back pain? It’s my first born, I’m always reading and searching. But i haven’t had nauseas or dizziness.😔
🩷🫶🏻ᑕᕼᗴᒪᔕᗴᗩ🫶🏻🩷
it’s normal , i didn’t get nausea until 8 weeks . some don’t get it at all , take is as a gift - you don’t wish to experience that ! 😩 it doesn’t mean anything if you don’t throw up , everyone is different . though , most people do experience dizziness & hot flashes a little later into pregnancy . mine was around the second trimester .

My hcg at 5w 5d was 13823 at approximately 1030a, at 6w it was 21987 at 945a. Please tell me my baby is okay. History of miscarriages and I dont think I'd be able to deal with another one.
Brogan
I am 7 weeks and 1 day and just got my hcg levels checked for 3 days because of my history as well, they had me get an ultrasound after my 3 one and everything looks great. My numbers started around 17,000 and rose to over 25,000. I know it’s hard but try not to think of the worst until they tell you otherwise 💕 I wish you and pregnancy the best ❤️

No heartbeat at 6w yet, is this normal… the er telling me either it’s too early or there’s a fetal demise they don’t know 😒
Ashley
Cardiac function is just starting develop. And the doctors don’t start listening to heartbeat with a Doppler until about 10-12 weeks. Give it time, baby is doing their best 😊

I'm 6w and my "morning" sickness is awful. Holding food down feels like history haha. What can you guys keep down?
Blocked user
My first trimester I stayed beyond sick every day all day I couldn’t even eat crackers ended up having to get iv fluid at one point. Things I suggest is the pressure point bands on your wrist and my doctor told me until I could keep stuff down to just eat what I craved . Also talk to your doctor and see if u can take unisom idk how early u can take it but it helps
