Well y'all don't wanna start saying and thinking and believing y'all are pregnant, because once you've got your mind convinced that you're pregnant, you're body is gunna start doing everything it should be when you really ARE pregnant.
The mind and body is really an amazing machine, and you can do ANYTHING if you convince your mind that you can.
All I'm saying is that if you do all those things saying you are thinking you are, etc, and you start getting a lil belly and your periods are really messed up and you start showing signs that you ARE pregnant.
Then you get excited and get your hopes up only to find out that you're not.
Now I'm not being negative because I actually did the SAME EXACT thing.
I convinced my mind that I was pregnant, and I really wasn't.
And I actually started looking like I was pregnant...
But once I tested and it came back negative AGAIN,
I was just like okay whatever I'm done TRYING to get pregnant cuz it just seems like it's not working.
Then when I least expected it, that next month I ended up getting pregnant.
Now I'm gunna be 13 weeks tomorrow!
When I first REALLY got pregnant, I did cramp alot on I think it was my right side.
Cuz I looked it up and said that the first couple weeks of pregnancy whichever side the egg implanted itself on, is gunna cramp up.
It wasn't constant.
It was off and on throughout the few weeks.
But now that my baby's getting bigger, it's in the center of my uterus and I STILL get cramps here n there but in the center of my belly.
Cramping is normal during pregnancy.
But if it gets too severe there could be a problem.
And I was told by my mom right when I FIRST found out I was pregnant, that if I get really bad cramps on just one side, that it could be an ectopic pregnancy, and the baby would have to be removed because you baby cannot grow outside the uterus.
But thankfully, that wasn't the case.
If you are pregnant, once you get maybe 6-8 weeks along you get a NEW kind of pain that is quite painful actually.
It's called round ligament pain, and will only happen usually on the right side of your lower stomach.
Look it up on google if you wanna know more cuz I don't really wanna get into it.
I never did a finger check to see if my cervix was swollen cuz I never heard of doing that before.
But I do know that my fingers and toes were VERY swollen for maybe 2 er 3 weeks before I found out I was pregnant.
My brests were very sore... mostly just the sides of them, and my nipples.
unfortunately that doesn't go away cuz my boobs STILL hurt and my stupid fiancee thinks it's funny now cuz if we're wrestling he'll wimp out and hit one of my boobs to get my to back down... so I just started popping him in the balls.
lol
You're not gunna really wanna take off your bra cuz they hurt if they're not supported.
I got alot of headaches.
Nausea didn't set in till a few weeks after I found out I was preg.
Thankfully since I'm in my 2nd trimester now that has gone away.
But now I gatta deal with heartburn.
Ugh.
But you can also look into that because heartburn can be a sign too.
If you do get it more often, tums are pretty promising friends. lol
Umm, what else...
I dunno what else to tell you about signs, I can't really remember too much of my early pregnancy symptoms.
Just keep an eye out for them but don't pay attention too close cuz they it WILL happen and give you false hope if it's not what you think it is.
Just convince your mind that it's "Unexpected" and it will eventually happen.
That's pretty much what I did. lol
Hope this helps, and I hope anything I said didn't offend you or your friends.
Well both times I got pregnant I had the same symtoms: pain on my left hand side from 2 days after I concieved until a week after I found out I was preggo! After that I just get cramps through out my whole mid-section. I think your fine! Great someone to hang with on the December Babies forum : )
Do they have nuts in because some people avoid nuts when they are pregnant??
I should think they would be fine :)
Well since we're Pregnant or going to be Pregnant soon...:) do any of you know if its okay to eat Protein Bars? And what about those new Special K Protein water packets? Are they safe??
Hey I'm right there with ya...... thinking, believing, and saying I'm pregnant!!!! Man I hope we're prego this month!! That would be the greatest!!!
