Hi everyone,
Hoping that someone can stop me feeling so crazy and tell me if they have experienced any of these symptoms?
This is my first pregnancy, I have no idea at all how far along I am as my periods are so, so irregular!!
I have done two pregnancy tests, both with BFP’s and now waiting to hear from the midwives. Recently, the last week or so, I am bloated to the point I cannot physically get my jeans over my belly and done up, my back and belly ache, feel a bit like the pain you’d get when AF is due (which is terrifying me) I feel dizzy all the time, I have the weirdest taste in my mouth, feels like I’m sucking on an olive all the time and so, so, so hot!!

I may be just being really silly about it all but I am so worried about anything going wrong or doing something wrong so just wondered if anyone else has had similar Smile

All very normal!

Pregnancy is a physical riot - all kinds of weird and wonderful things happen in the first trimester, and some can be very alarming. But none of those sound like anything to worry about.

I also had the mild, period like cramps a lot in the early days. If that pain gets severe or if you bleed a reasonable amount of red blood (some spotting and brown / old blood is usually normal) then it’s worth talking to your midwife. But just mild cramping on its own is very normal!

I'm 9 weeks pregnant and I constantly feel dizzy and far too hot and sick . I think it's just down to all the hormones racing round our bodies while the baby is growing . It's really not a nice experience but hopefully after the first trimester it will pass

Thank you, it’s so nice to hear other ladies stories. I’m panicking about everything at the moment so it’s nice to have a slight peace of mind Smile
