first off, congrats to all you mamas due in august


I'm 7 weeks with my second child, due August 2nd. I have a 4 yr old daughter and that pregnancy was pretty uneventful. Im hoping this one will be as well. The symptoms I had with my daughter were only cramping (for almost the whole first trimester- thought I would miscarry everyday) fatigue, and hunger. No morning sickness,  I was just always hungry. With this pregnancy, still no morning sickness, less cramping but still there- just not everyday. Perhaps, my uterus needs less stretching with this one. I'm not really that tired either. My breasts are sore, and I don't remember having that with my daughter, and my gums are sensitive- never had that before either. like before, always hungry. I'm always worrying about having a miscarriage, and just hoping that this baby is ok.


How's everyone feeling??

Quoting Melissa

This is my first pregnancy :) About a week ago I woke up with a sore throat and then I had some sinus congestion - felt like I was coming down with the flu.... Breasts were extremely sore, like they were on fire - could barely lay on them while on my stomach.. Mild cramping and tired - I thought for sure AF was coming, waited waited not thinking that I could in a million years be pregnant being I am 33 and have never been. Well the last few days I have been soooo tired where all I want to do is sleep. So I happened to notice a pregnancy test in my box while I was cleaning up some while hubby was at work and thought well maybe if I take this and my mind sees that it is negative then AF will hurry up and come on so I'll be over this tiredness. - OMG 2 lines immediately came up!! I started crying, I couldn't believe it, I ran and got another one - positive - another one positive.. 4th one (don't ask) it was positive too.. It was only 7pm and hubby didn't get off work until 10pm.. I am still in shock... (I started to remember how not too long ago I opened a brand new pack of turkey lunch meat and the smell made me sick to the point I took it back to Publix for a refund - now I wonder if that was just me lol) anyways hubby is excited, I am soooo sleepy but to excited to sleep.. and nervous... I have since taken a 5th test..

 

congestion is normal its the hormones causing that to  happen soo far had it for all of my pregnancies.... and im just about 20 weeks on my 3rd and still feeling stuffy, if it is dry in your place that could be the cause of the sore throat and more stuffiness in the nose try putting a jar of water on your rad it will help bring moiture to the air :) the breast tenderness another very common symptom some women feel it some dont and the first and third trimester are the worst for breast pain...same with the  fatigue... also with pregnancy u will prolly catch your self eating things you never liked to begin with and will prolly end up hating things you liked ... its weird i know lol.... but the smell of certain things which you will probably learn to stay away from will do that to you.... congrats and good luck enjoy eveny minute of pregnancy and child birth and watching your baby grow up beacuse it goes by soo fast :)

i wouldnt worry too much that cramping is due to the stretching of your round ligaments to support your growing uterus to support baby's growth... :)  if u dont end up with morning sickness your lucky to have 2 pregnancies that dont have the worst of it :) unfortunately for i , i am on my 3rd pregnancy and morning sickness seems to get worse and worse for me every time..... i will be 20 weeks on tuesday and still feeling pretty nauseated..... but i have gotten an appitite back... and being hungry is very normal they say to eat smaller portions more often through out the day..... and take your time while your eating because eating fast is a recipie to heart burn which happens to me even when i do take my time but .... hope all goes well dont worry too much you will be fine :) good luck

congrats! your so lucky!!! my first pregnancy i was sick the whole nine months, i would throw up at least twice a day, or more. sometimes it would get so bad, i wouldn't even be able to drink water with out barfing it up a few minutes later. this is my second pregnancy, and im starting to get sick in the mornings, hopefully it won't get much worse.
