Terrified newly pregnant and questioning all symptoms

Hello,
I am 4 weeks and 1 day pregnant.
Unfortunately, my husband was away when I found out and is still away for the next two weeks. So I'm left panicking about every single symptom.
This is my first pregnancy and I was told it may be difficult for me to get pregnant so after four months of trying my mind was blown when I got that positive test on Sunday.

My symptoms are sore/heavy boobs and I am knackered and hungry all the time which I know are totally normal.
I have some bouts of nausea that come and go.

However, there are a few things worrying me - Google's fault- must not Google and I was wondering if anyone had the same.

I am so hot all the time - I've woken up the past few nights in a sweat.

My vagina feels like it's throbbing at times, has become abit tingly and sometimes itchy.

I don't seem to have a lot of discharge.

I started with cramps on left side but today it has been in my lower right side in my back and I have had some shooting pains on that side - which is totally freaking me out.

I just think it's mad that I have all these symptoms and I'm only 4 weeks and it's making me panic.

I am terrified and looking for reassurance that someone else has had any or all of the same symptoms this early!

Please help - from a very terrified, wanting this baby so much mum to be.

Hey! All sounds very similar to how I felt in the first few weeks. Completely normal 😊 congrats!

All sounds quite normal to me! There's lots of stretching of ligaments etc even at this early stage so lots of twinges and cramps are normal! This pregnancy I've had lots of sharp right sided cramps but I'm 18 weeks and all is fine so doesn't mean anything's wrong.

I didn't get increased discharge til much later in the first trimester.

Your body temp rises in pregnancy and you also have loads of extra hormones which will cause the night sweats and feeling hot. Equally this could all be your anxiety about it manifesting itself...it'll be a long 9 months if you overthink everything so just try to relax and let your body do its thing Smile
