Early pregnancy symptoms

[Crazycat94]

Hello, thank you for taking time to ready my message. I have finally got my BFP after 2 years trying and am 5 weeks pregnant. I'm over the moon but now I have stepped into a world of other stresses. I'm looking for reassurance regarding early pregnancy symptoms. I'm getting all the symptoms of my period starting cramping, back ache, pelvic pains, hot flush, breast pain. And more such as increased thurst, increased urination. But I'm only 5 weeks. This is my very first pregnancy and I feel I'm overthinking every symptoms. Is it normal of its not normal. I have sent in referral to midwife and that first appointment is ment to be at 8 weeks. Has anyone experienced this ? and what symptoms did you have at this time?

Thank you
Hannah

Early pregnancy can feel super similar to beginning of a period , for me my first symptoms at 5/6 weeks were bloating , painful breasts , a little bit of spotting - so super confusing !

Congratulations 🎉 I fully sympathise. I was so anxious in early pregnancy..

I felt symptoms the most at 5-7 weeks and all my sickness and nausea subsided by 9 weeks. I had bad back pain for a couple of weeks, very light spotting for a week and huge food aversions mostly x
