Ladies can you give me advice for your first pregnancy ... I am only 14 weeks and 3 days... what should I be expecting right now and as the pregnancy goes on... its my first baby but its my boyfriends 2nd baby... I am scared to be a mom but also happy that I'm going to be a mom.. he's the happiest I've seen him when I told him we was pregnant...

Oh and I started getting stretch marks as soon as I hit the third trimester. Cocoa butter and oil didn't work for me. I think it's genetic

At 14 weeks my morning sickness had finally gone away and I had just started wearing maternity pants. My appetite was back to normal and I was finally feeling like myself again. I started getting heartburn about 18 weeks and felt her kick around 20 weeks. I would even get heartburn from water! I was able to work til 33 weeks when my feet and legs were swelling so bad from standing 11 hours a day my doctor told me to cut my hours and my job didn't allow that so I was let go. Back pain has come and gone it's not constant for me. I've felt pretty good through out. I'm 41+3 now and just waiting for her arrival. Only had BH a few times

I won't tell you "textbook stmptoms" (that's what I call it, lol) because that's all that people were telling me and it freaked me out. So I'll tell you what I went through! At that stage of my pregnancy I was just really sleepy!!!! Lol! Io was tired all of the time and I wanted water, water, water! Lol! I didn't crave anything, I didn't get sick, no bleeding or anything. I did get bacterial vaginosis and a little yeast and my doctor gave me a prescription for them that cleared it up right away. I am 38+1 now and I am feeling the "final stage symptoms" like back pain and pressure! Just ready to have this baby girl! I'm tired of being pregnant and I'm ready to meet her! Congrats on your blessing!!!

Cramps and bloating are going to be a big one. If your thirsty all the time right now it gets worse. Possibly may get uti's or bacterial vaginosis. Both very treatable and common in pregnant women. You may get morning sickness back if its gone. Some women don't. You will also get aches and pain as well as cramping from yoie uterus growing. Which should have started already. Intersting fact your uterus grows firat then your baby does :) The exciting things to expect. Baby's first movement which should be happening soon. Between 18-24 weeks. Finding out the gender of baby was exciting. Always fun to see who is wright. Your baby bump coming in and the baby shopping.
