pregnant, but not many symptoms, normal??

[carisa]

Hi everyone,
I personally am not pregnant, but my surrogate just found out she is pregnant with my hubby and my baby. I am worried because she says she is no longer feeling that cramping that she was feeling for a week or so before she found out she was pregnant. It scares me. Could this be a normal thing? Am I potentially worrying for nothing? Thanks, Carisa

I cramped ALOT before I found out I was pregnant.
I thought it was just my period coming.
But it never came.
17 days after my period never came I was like, "Okay, wtf. I can't be..."
and I was.

And it was funny because I went WEEKS without cramping again.
And then when I finally started cramping again, it came and it went weekly.
I'd go a week without cramping, then I'd go a couple weeks WITH cramping... then I wouldn't cramp again for maybe a few weeks, then I'd cramp again for a couple days.

Everyone's body is different.
Not everyone is gunna experience the same symptoms as everyone else, and if they do, it's not always gunna be the exact same way as everyone else.

If her levels are still rising, and she's not cramping REALLY BAD or bleeding down there, I really wouldn't worry about it.

Good luck to you and yours!
Keep us posted!

I read a post someone put on this site months ago in response to someone's concern over lack of pregnancy 'symptoms' and such...  It went something like: it's called lucky.  

If the numbers looks good - try and breathe easy and trust that things'll be fine!  Good luck!

Thanks! I know 177 is a good healthy sounding number. I'm hoping everything will be fine and I'm just being crazy for nothing. I know even if everything comes back great tomorrow I'm sure something else will pop up next week for me to worry about. I just need to breathe and not over analyze everything!!

177 isn't low so things seem to be going well :). My first HCG test my levels were only 31 I was so paranoid that something was wrong after the dr. office called me and said that. Then 2 days later and they were 131 and kept going up. Best of luck tho keep us updated =D

Her first HCG was 177 and that was only yesterday, that was 9 days after the embryo transfer from IVF, she has her next tomorrow. Hopefully it will have doubled. I think I'm officially losing my mind! Hopefull tomorrow everything will be fine and I can relax a little. Carisa

The "crampy" feeling comes and goes, as far as my experience went. Some days my stomach would feel cramped and others it wouldn't. As for worrying for nothing, I think it's impossible to do that when it comes to your baby and pregnancy. I worry all the time about EVERYTHING lol. I think it's normal though. Did she have her HCG levels checked? As long as they're increasing I say you have nothing to worry about :).
