Well I am new to this group. I am 8 weeks/ 2 days along in my pregnancy. I am due Feb 4 2010! I had my first appointment yesterday and well I didn't get blood work done yet, the doctor said everything looked and felt normal so I am feeling ultra-excited and blessed! I still pray all the time for the safety and health of my child. My symptoms vary every day. Sometimes I feel sick but then it goes away and sometimes my bbs hurt and then it goes away. The only symptom that seems to persist is the bloating and constipation, but luckily my doctor gave me some remedies for both that I have already started working on. I am thankful for these forum discussion and I look forward to talking to more of you. Congratulations to us all!
