My Story Posted: 07-24-05 20:03pm
Hi I just thought I would tell my story.
I am 23 and ttc, I got pregnant when I was
15, had a girl her name is jordan and she
just turned 7 :) her father and I just
got married a month ago but have been
together for 8 years. I have been
feeling a little off the past week sore
boobs, bad cramps very tired but I am not
due until aug 4th, I hate waiting :( I
dont remember much from my first
pregnancy, so I dont know if this is how I
felt before, any thoughts would be great.
Thanks
shawna

Im not pregnant but I did alot of research
on it before me and my boyfriend ttc. You
are suppose to get, dont get me wrong alot
of people are different.
Implantation bleeding:
implantation bleeding can be one of the
earliest pregnancy symptoms. About 6-12
days after conception, the embryo implants
itself into the uterine wall. Some women
will experience spotting as well as some
cramping.
Other explanations: actual menstruation,
altered menstruation, changes in birth
control pill, infection, or abrasion from
intercourse.
Delay/difference in menstruation:
a delayed or missed menstruation is the
most common pregnancy symptom leading a
woman to test for pregnancy. When you
become pregnant, your next period should
be missed. Many women can bleed while
they are pregnant, but typically the
bleeding will be shorter or lighter than a
normal period.
Other explanations: excessive weight
gain/loss, fatigue, hormonal problems,
tension, stress, ceasing to take the birth
control pill, or breast-feeding.
Swollen/tender breasts:
swollen or tender breasts is a pregnancy
symptom which may begin as early as 1-2
weeks after conception. Women may notice
changes in their breasts such as tender to
the touch, sore, or swollen.
Other explanations: hormonal imbalance,
birth control pills, impending
menstruation (pms) can also cause your
breasts to be swollen or tender.
Fatigue/tiredness:
feeling fatigued or more tired is a
pregnancy symptom which can also start as
early as the first week after conception.
Other explanations: stress, exhaustion,
depression, common cold or flu, or other
illnesses can also leave you feeling tired
or fatigued.
Nausea/morning sickness:
this well-known pregnancy symptom will
often show up between 2-8 weeks after
conception. Some women are fortunate to
not deal with morning sickness at all
while others will feel nauseous through
most of their pregnancy.
Other explanations: food poisoning,
stress, or other stomach disorders can
also cause you to feel queasy.
Backaches:
lower backaches may be a symptom that
occurs early in pregnancy, however it is
common to experience a dull backache
throughout an entire pregnancy.
Other explanations: impending
menstruation, stress, other back problems,
and physical or mental strains.
Headaches:
the sudden rise of hormones in your body
can cause you to have headaches early in
pregnancy.
Other explanations: dehydration, caffeine
withdrawal, impending menstruation, eye
strain, or other ailments can be the
source of frequent or chronic headaches.
Frequent urination:
around 6-8 weeks after conception, you may
find yourself making a few extra trips to
the bathroom.
Other explanations: urinary tract
infection, diabetes, increasing liquid
intake, or taking excessive diuretics.
Darkening of areolas:
if you are pregnant, the skin around your
nipples may get darker.
Other explanations: hormonal imbalance
unrelated to pregnancy or may be a
leftover effect from a previous
pregnancy.
Food cravings:
while you may not have a strong desire to
eat pickles and ice cream, many women will
feel cravings for certain foods when they
are pregnant. This can last throughout
your entire pregnancy.
Other explanations: poor diet, lacking a
certain nutrient, stress, depression, or
impending menstruation.
Hope this helped... It was a sudden of
the moment look up :)
