Q: Do You Bruise Easier When Pregnant? Plus a Few Other Things.

Well as some of you know me and my fiance were ttc for a while but then we talked and I thought we were not anymore, but recently he let it slip that he has cum inside me a few times without telling me. :shock:

anyways, lately I have noticed that my stomach has felt that my muscles are strained feeling or something on both sides. Like when I move certain ways, it feels like a muscle is tight on each side. I haven't head sex since last tuesday and it wasn't anything special that would pull a muscle... Lol

but more weird things have been happening. Im not being gross but every time I have to go #2, I cant, I mean literally I have to sit down for 45 minutes to get the job done... And this is never an issue. Gross, I know but im sorry. Ive noticed appetite changes as in what I chose to eat and not eat for breakfast.

And also I have been bruising sooooooooooooooooooooo easy. I was in the tub just now and you would think that my fiance beats me up. I have 4 bruises on one arm, one on the other, two on one leg, and a line (streak like) bruise on my inner thigh of one of my legs. I have done nothing out of the ordinary. So I don't know. I have also been crying alot lately. About everything.

Does any of this sound out of the ordinary? When I say out of the ordinary, I mean, does this sound like any are prego symptoms?

Thanks

Hey sweety

not sure what it could be, but have you done a pregnacy test yet. If its not that, your body may be letting off more hormones than they used...Perhaps its nearly time for you to fall and your body is getting ready for it...It could also be related to your period..Not sure

Well it makes sense that you could bruise easier when pregnant becuase you have more blood, making it easier for it to collect. And the tightness in your belly could be from doing things that you arent used to doing, like picking heavy things up or it could be that your baby is streching out your muscles, how far along are you?

i dont even know if I am or not. It wouldn't be tightening up this early would it? I have just noticed that no matter what I do, if something barely touches me I have been bruising really bad. I have been peeing alot too.

Would my blood thin up this quick?

And also this could be anything but my body has been craving lots of milk. Like the last few weeks I have been waking up about 3 times a night and wake up and chug a glass of milk. And usually I am a water drinker.

Hmm, strange. I'm really not sure that those are signs of pregnancy, but every women is different!! Wait untill you miss a period and then test :)

Well, my first point is in response to the bruising...just because you have "more blood" doesn't make it easier to bruise...you still have the same percentage of platelets that you had before...I would get checked for hemophilia or a few other diseases...the abdominal muscles aching sounds like your uterine support ligaments and your uterus itself are stretching which is common in early pregnancy though not in the second week...the milk drinking could also be a sign of pregnancy but also not usually this early...it really sounds like you're pregnant but a few weeks farther along than what you think...but yea, you should definitely talk to your obgyn about the bruising, my wife is having the same problem and we're probably going to call her obgyn on monday about it...
