I just found out that I am 6 weeks into my
first pregnancy and I don't really know
what to expect. I have no cravings no
upset stomach my breast are sore on some
days and others they feel fine, heartburn
is the only thing I have that stays around
day after day. Is this normal?

Totally normal, hon. Every pregnancy is
different. Some women have severe morning
sickness, and others never experience it
at all. And the same woman could have
horrible sickness with one pregnancy and
little to none in her next. It's funny
how our bodies work! Just count yourself
lucky that you're feeling pretty good and
enjoy your pregnancy! Congratulations.
:)

Some women don't even know they're
pregnant until they're into their second
trimester - some women just don't have a
lot of symptoms. Some women can sense
that something is different with their
bodies, while others cannot at times.
And yes, your symptoms are totally normal,
although I always thought the heartburn
came in the last two trimesters because
the uterus pushes the organs up and causes
acid to come up into the throat and chest.

No, heartburn doesn't just come in the
last two trimesters. I've had bad
heartburn since about week 9. I started
having symptoms around 8 and a half weeks.
Heartburn is caused by the valve between
the stomach and the esophagus not closing
properly, thanks to pregnancy hormones..
So it can happen at any stage of
pregnancy. I've managed to escape it so
far.. Although i've had every other
problem related to being pregnant. It's
great fun! ;)
congratulations on your pregnancy, i'm
sure everything will be fine for you =)

Don't even get me started on heatburn
lol.... Before I got pregnant, even toast
would give me mad heartburn... Since I
got pregnant, I basically always have it.
I was on medication for it, but I would
never remember to take it... :oops:
i'm 11 weeks now, and the only symptoms
i've had, besides heartburn which I don't
really count because i've always had it,
are sore breasts and mild morning
sickness. Some of my clothes have started
getting a bit tight, but thats pretty much
it. Good luck with everything! <3

Dont worry:) it's normal. I am 28 weeks

were a growing belly and aching breasts :)
