Ok im having my first baby, and miscarriages run in my family. Im scared of loosing my child yet I dont want to worry about everything....Casue I never went through this before. I have been having tiny cramps here and there, but are never really sure if they are just having to go to the bathroom cramps or if somethings wrong. Also I was wonderin ghow far along you have to be before its noticeable. I jus found out a week ago im pregnant and they told me its at the begining stages casue im swollen but I still have to go to the obgyn....So we will see. Just curious..

Hey shan,
first off congratulations on your little angel! I'm sure you're overjoyed and a bit overwhelmed at the same time...I know I was! As for the likelyhood of a miscarriage, I would definitely take it easy for at least the first month or two...Try not to over exert urself, especially in the first trimester...Thats when ur baby needs the most and is also in the "danger zone"....Try to get enough sleep, eat well and healthy...And try to relax...Cramps are definitely normal in the first stages because everythings moving around and stretching, and also the hormones are affecting things...As long as the cramping isnt unbarable and isnt accompanied with bleeding...Everything should be fine...But if u have any worries or doubts dont hesitate to call ur dr, or even go to the er, because thats what they're there for....To make sure ur ok! Best of luck with ur pregnancy...Hope all goes well!

God bless,

vanessa
