im 6 weeks pregnant, this is my second pregnancy, and it is by far worse than my first... i knew i was pregnant at 2 weeks i had thee worst cramping for an entire week! no bleeding... i took a test at 3 weeks and it was positive..., actually 5 of them and i took them all at night... i cant go to the bathroom... LOL my nips felt like they had a lighter to them yesterday and once in a while i get extreme hot flashes, my face turn red and my ears, and my face gets hot... ei have no appetite everything is disgusting.. im nauseated all the time, and now i have a constant headache... i try to get up or roll over and it feels like my tendons in my pelvis are stretched to the max because i get like a muscle cramp... i am soooo soooo tired.... i feel like i could fall asleep sitting up... my appointment isnt until next week i havent even gone yet?
this is ridiculous LOL
I am 7 weeks today with my second and feel exactly the same. Total nausea but no actual throwing up, which I would greatly prefer at this point. BTW, my hormone levels are on the low side of the normal, but still have such symptoms. I have had an ultrasound thinking it was twins, but only saw one bean. I have resorted to sucking on cheeze-its. Sounds gross, but helps some. Also, Tums help at night (a little). Good Luck!
maybe it is twins?
congrats
I would call the nurse at the OB. This doesn't sound "normal" for 6 weeks pregnant. I'm not trying to scare you, I would just talk to the nurse.
I would go ahead and call the dr. Let hem knwo what's going on. Sounds a lot like my oldest. I was sick from before I found out I was expecting to the day I gave birth. But there are more things out that they can do for you now then 13 years ago. I would not wait till next week.
Good luck and God Bless!!!
Your body responds much faster the second time around. Expect the pounds to start starting up big time by week 8!
Has ectopic pregnancy been ruled out ?
Sounds like my first pregnancy!!!
Use lanolin on the nips.
Keep an ice pack with you for the flashes and headaches.
Start doing some stretches in the evenings for the tendon/ligament pain.
Eat bananas for cramping and drink LOTS of fluids... I preferred popcicles while I was pg with my daughter. It was the only thing that I wouldn't throw up.
Keep original Mylanta with you at all times... For acid reflux, vomiting, and constipation.
Just hope you don't get kidney stones @ about 30wks like I did.
ETA- It may not be twins, but you could still have a high hormone levels.
Were you artificially inseminated? I think eveyone has heard how that can turn out, you pay for one and end up with MANY!! Does the possibility of twins run on either side of the family? How long between pregnancies? Were you on or taking any contraceptive? (pills,shot?)
My kids are 15 months apart to the day. Both pregnancies were completely different.
I knew when i was about 3weeks prego with my 1st. missed my normal & regular cycle (not) but I even missed my trusty back up/delay cycle date.. I took 3 test, all 3 positive took 2 in one day and waited 2 days then took final test. Once confirmed by dr. all was smooth sailing till my 3rd month. I had a false miscarriage, took it easy, and by my fourth month i was throwing up food within minutes after i swallowed it. I could not stand the smell of bbq food nor the smell this hampered many choices for dinner as hubby is a great chef on the grill. By the end of my 7th month dr's were worried about my health. Only gained 11 lbs. I was eating it just came up (took me 2-3 times of upchucking) before any food would stay. So to say we didn't go out much and when i did eat I made sure to have a clean toilet and a clear path.
My daughter i didn't know i was pregnant with until 2 months and only cause i found out in x-ray due to car accident. It was Nov, the fact i was sick so what i had a four month old at home, 8hr workday + 2 hour communte=10 hr days, i was sick and tired! LOL NOT TO METION THE CRAVINGS I HAD TO EAT 1ST THING WHEN I GOT TO WORK ( MAPLE GLAZED BAR DONUGHT WITH A TABLESPOON SIZE SERVING OF SOUR KRAUT! yes both of them together all through my 2nd & 3rd month. My fourth month i got tired easier, i got irrated and angry easier and by my 5th month i was out on Medical/Mental stress leave. No it didn't get any better. I accepted the fact i was gonna have another kid, i just didn't realized the financial impact/burden. and i just got back into shape from the 1st kid now prego again. This pregnancy almost sent me off the deep end mentally..I made sure no more kids were coming. I had the dr. cut,tie and fry. no more pills to take no accident's due to carelessness could happen I THANK GOD MY HUSBAND AND I JUST CELEBRATED OUR 10 YEAR ANNIVERSARY.
Congrats! Rest and wait till your appointment. When I was pregnant with my daughter I couldn't even read it. I took four test. I think you and your baby are going to be fine. Good Luck! :)
It can be totally normal. Happened with my first pg. and now with my third... As my doctor said, it means the pregnancy is healthy because that baby (or babies) is pumping out the hormones.
