I just wanted to say first of all that Im really excited that I found this site and its really comforting to know that Im not alone in the way I feel! Im 7 weeks pregnant and Ive been to the doctors and saw my baby ( and the heartbeat) but Ive had steady cramping for the past 5 hours and Im really begining to freak out!!! There isnt any bleeding but Im still really nervous as this is my first pregnancy! Also every little thing that I dont agree with makes me cry!! Has anyone else gone through this? Im starting to drive everyone around me crazy... And Im driving myself a little crazy. Im scared everything that I do is going to cause me to miscarry! Someone please help!!!

i agree. but its your belly stretching on the inside although you can't see it on the out, your uterus is getting bigger as we speak lol. i worry that i am not ready either. im 21 and will be 22 when the baby comes. and honestly, i didn't know CRAP about pregnant/birth until i got pregnant and believe it or not, i've learned it all from these ladies on this site haha. i always read random posts, just in case there is something i need to know for in the future!

Thanks! And i guess i dont understand the whole skin stetching thing because as I mentioned i dont feel pregnant and a lot of people told me that i wont even start showing for a couple more months. I know our bodies are different but it still makes me think its something else. Sometimes I worry that Im not ready because Im so uneducated about pregnancy and I am only 21 but I do know I really want this baby. Ugh so many emotions!

Since u have already heard the babies heartbeat ur chances of miscarrying have dropped significantly.  Don't worry about the cramping, like the previous posters said its due 2 ur body stretching!  As long as its not accompanied by bleeding then all is good ((: and it's totally normal 2 b so emotional during pregnancy!  It's those stupid hormones!  Lol.  And consider urself lucky that the only symptoms u have r sore breasts!!  I was plagued by horrible morning sickness my entire first trimester.

i know it, i kept worrying about a miscarriage too! it ***** that he doesn't get that! theres obviously nothing anyone can do, but support would be nice. although we are not him, us ladies on here know what you are going through and are always here to talk!! i am 14w2d and i dont feel very pregnant at all either still! my boobs haven't even hurt honestly. i had a little bit of morning sickness around my 7th week and a lot of tiredness, but now i just feel like im waiting to even feel pregnant. its frustrating. it'll all be okay dear, and once we get 30 weeks we are gonna be wishing we didn't feel pregnant. lol!!

Its hard not to stress myself out! One of my major support systems live in a different province and I feel very alone. My boyfriend is super excited for the baby but its like he doesnt want to deal with the 9 months of pregnancy that comes with it! I mentioned to him that I wasnt feeling well tonight and his response was " well theres nothing I can do". I wasnt asking him to do anything I just wanted him to be there for me! And I've been crying ever since. Also I dont feel pregnant! My breasts hurt and thats it.

i have had cramp like pains as well. its your belly stretching. and no matter how bad they get, as long as there is no blood you are perfectly fine. my friend just found out she was pregnant last saturday, and she was in incredible pain from the cramping. i haven't had it that bad. guess i should consider myself lucky! lol

You need to try not to do that... That will cause u stress and a possible misscarige... Light cramping is okay in pregnancy its from ur body stretching inside... The less stress like I said the better it is and try not to be so emotional its not good for after the birth...
