Hi everyone,
I'm due on 10th August 2022, I'm 5 weeks 2 days today :)
So far my main symptoms have been constipation, so bad on the day of my expected period there was quite a lot of blood in the toilet (bleeding from butt/cuts). I was scared it was from the other hole for a second!
Bleeding has continued a bit and I've had quite intense constipation... but then got diarrhea twice with constiptaion either side of it. I called the early preg unit and they said not to worry about diarrhea, it's not considered anything to worry about, and it could be overflow from being constipated which I guess makes sense.
My boobs hurt and nipples, definitely bigger too.
I got mild cramps in the uterus area on the day my period was expected.... is that a good sign that stuff is going in in the uterus? Just asking as I had an ectopic which resolved in October this year, managed expectantly and resolved on its own.... but with that I didn't have those cramps in the uterus as I know I'd have remembered them if I did, and there wasn't anything going in the the uterus then so that makes sense. So I'm thinking it's a good sign I had those as should mean that baby is in the right place :)
If anyone knows if those mild cramps on the day you'd expect your period are good/signal some activity in the uterus I'd love to know! :)
Thanks so much,
Tiana
