Blood work is what they did with me and some doctors will do a pap smear physical exam on your first visit

.... Is a very physical job so dreading the tiredness kicking in. Is it safe to sleep on ur belly at this stage? And is lifting and carrying an issue at this early stage of my pregnancy?

Headaches and nausea are very normal too. It is safe to take tylenol for the headaches

The pain is everything stretching including your uterus. Nothing to worry about :) dizziness iua normal also and a little bit of bleeding is normal. You may also experience light bleeding after sex. Try to relax :)

My wife and I sure were at 5 weeks. There was pain on one side but less on the other there were period like symptoms no bleeding thankfully, I think a lot of it was caused by stress and here's why, we made an appointment at the doctors as soon as we could, start the ball rolling on everything.. and we got everything checked out and nothing was out of place (we were doing the ectopic freakout) and everything seems to be in order. Shortly after we found out everything was ok, most of the pains went away.

I Havent experienced dizziness or nausea yet, mainly alot of back pain, restlessness, tiredness and headaches and not much of an appetite. Just found out i am preg on sunday by taking test, have my first appointment with midwife on thurs which im pretty scared about as i have a phobia of needles and im a constant worryer! Been reading alot about how common early miscarriages are and i suppose i am making myself worse by reading this. Its a relief knowing that these symptoms are normal tho and im not the only one

yesss i did! the cramps were so bad (at about 4 weeks before i knew i was pregnant) i really thought i was about to start my period. i'm almost 11 weeks now & i still get pains/cramps here & there. my doctor has told me cramps are normal, a little spotting is normal, the problem is when you have them together or if they're very severe. oh & i'm SUPER tired all the time, it's very common. just be calm! stressing's not good for baby :)
