Your Pregnancy: Week 8

I'm approx. 8 weeks pregnant with our first child together. I'm super scared, but excited at the same time. We are closing on our house on 7/31. So we have had a lot of first this month.

I'm 8 weeks and I'm super scared but excited, too! I had my first OB appointment last week, but no ultrasound yet :(....my next appointment is on 8/13 and we will actually get one then. Can't wait!

I am approx. 8 weeks pregnant, and I also had a brown mucus discharge...was wondering the same thing, if it's normal. Everything seems fine. I haven't had any spotting or cramping.

I am so exhausted I have to chase my older daughter around who will be two in Sept. plus work twice a week I can't I feel so worn out!

I'm 7 weeks pregnant and extactic!! We have been trying for almost 2 years and thought this day would never come. Had an ultrasound this past week and got to hear the heartbeat for the first time.

I officially hate ginger ale. I've been drinking it daily to fight this all-day sickness. Just the sight of the bottle/can makes me want to blow chunks. :-)

I am 8 weeks and 2 days. So far I haven't had any sickness (knock on wood). However I have never been so exhausted in my life, I can barely make it through the work day. My husband and I carpool (thank the lord) and I fall asleep everyday on the way home from work, I then take a nap as soon as we get home. Wake up, cook dinner and do things around the house and back to sleep to get ready for another day. Everyone warned me about fatigue but I had no idea it was going to be this bad. We had our first appointment last week, got our ultrasound picture and got to hear and see the heartbeat. Very cool, very amazing and so exciting!

I am 7 weeks 5 days with our 2nd child. We are super excited. The all day sickness has been so BAD this time. Nothing is appealing. I think of food & it makes me want to throw up. Hopefully only a few more weeks of the sickness.

I'm 8 wks pregnant with our first child too. We are super excited. I used to get sick in the mornings but I decided to change my prenatal vitamins from morning to night, it's helping a lot. I only have the feeling to go vomiting but nothing. My tummy is getting biger and my breast hurts specially in the morning when I wake up. My husband and I have sex almost everyday and I get the brown mucus too, but its normal. As long as you guys dont have spots or bleeding. Congratulations to everyone!

I am 8 weeks pregnant with my first baby. We are excited but scared because I have lost a baby at 18 weeks without a warning. I have a great feeling about this pregnancy and I pray and thank god every day. We just moved to Long Beach from Sacramento and we had a wedding date for April 3, 2010 but we are due March 30, 2010 we now have move the wedding up. We are now going to elope on 09.20.09 we are so excited. Life is changing so fast.

Hi ladies, I am also having that brown mucus discharge a little bit. I wad 7 weeks and 5 days when it started, and it has appeared to let up now, at 8 weeks. We will see. I think it coud be do to sex.

I been feeling the baby move since i was 4 weeks. I think all these myths that you cant feel the baby move until he or she is bigger is just lame. I felt both pregnancies early with both my daughters. Its all about not moving, and just relaxing. I feel the baby move all the time when im laying down, sitting on the sofa, on the computer chair and even doing the dishes.

I'm also about 8 weeks pregnant. It's our frist child together, too. I can't say I'm scared, YET. I am super excited...can't wait to find out if it's a boy or a girl so I can start shopping and getting things ready!!!I Can't say I have had terrible morning sickness, because I have been lucky and haven't had a lot. In fact I really haven't been sick at all. Just a little nausea here and there. Yesterday was my worst day. I feel better today, but not entirely. I am soooooooo tired all the time. Other than that, all is well.

This is our third baby and I have to say, so far, this is the roughest pregnancy by far!!! Morning, afternoon, and night sickness, already can not fit into most of my clothes, and wow, am I an emotional rollercoaster.....but I dare anyone else to say it, hahaha...

Is it normal to not have any real symptoms? I occasionally have very mild nausea but I feel fine aside from intense hunger when I'm hungry and crazy emotions at times.

I'm 8 and a half weeks and I have had non stop morning sickness for 3 weeks now! I am sick ALL of the time! I've also tried every trick out there to try and feel at least a little bit better! Nothing works!! I can't wait until i don't have to go to the ER for dehydration anymore!! Been Twice in the last week! When I can drink water again I will NEVER let myself get thirsty again!

This morning sickness is draining me! I've thrown up 7 times already and it's only 1:30! Not to mentiion I'm at work so I have to do it secretly and quietly!! HElp! Nothing works!

I am 7 weeks and 4 days today. i have slight morning sickness, not throwing up, but it lasts all day. i have found that peppermint candies or peppermint chewing gum helps me the most. i dont really have the urge to eat either and the doctor gave me a chart to go by and eat only the serving size. SO hard!!! i think i am in tune with my body more that others are because i can feel everything. the moving, the expanding, the cramping and although the cramping feels weird, theres no blood so i have been reassured that its alright. twins run in my family so im excited for when i go for my first actual exam i will find out because i am way too anxious.

I am 8 3/7 weeks pregnant and had my first OB appointment and ultrasound yesterday. My husband and I were so excited to see our little raspberry the first time.

I'm 8 weeks pregnant with our first child.. im very excited and scared. no morning sickness yet but holy moses... I have never been this tired. I used to sleep at 1 or 2am during weekends but right now at 10pm I am dead tired already. But thats ok I have to get enough sleep and rest for our baby :)

Eight weeks and counting! Sick morning, noon and night, but all is well if it means a healthy baby! The first trimester is so nerve-racking. Taking every ache and twinge to heart. Heard so many horror stories at this point, but want to be excited! Anyone else feeling discouraged?

I am 8 weeks tomorrow and have no morning sickness, little fatigue and I don't really feel pregnant. This is my first. The only thing is my boobs are very tender! I have my first appt in a week, can't wait!

the brown mucus discharge is usually from implantation. i had the same thing. as long as it is a light brownish color and a light not heavy discharge its pretty typical. i talked to my ob about it and also read about it in what to expect when expecting.

YAY lil' raspberry! I'm feeling less and less anxious with each week. Been having weekly ultrasounds since week 6 b/c of m/c history (2 in last year). My doc is such a doll b/c she knows checking in on the baby eases my fears (and are harmless). Having another on Thursday and can't wait to see the lil' itty-bitty!

I am 8 weeks preggers today! Somehow it has yet to sink in and that bothers me a little bit. I was beyond excited when I found out I was pregnant with our first son 4 years ago, but now, I almost feel too tired to be excited. Is there something wrong with me?

I am 8 weeks 5 days today. I was told I had a blighted ovum and would miscarry and that I should have a D&C to get it over with. I waited 2 weeks and asked to have another ultrasound. This morning I saw my baby with its little heart light up, beating 161 beats per minute! It was amazing!

Today I am officially 8 weeks pregnants and very excited but scared as well. I hope all is going well with my little bean and can't wait for my ultrasound next Tuesday. We should be able to hear the heartbeat!!!!!!!!!

My ob said we were 8 weeks along, but since she could not feel my uterus (its tilted) she gave us the choice of having an early ultrasound done. We have our first ultrasound on monday.

I am 8 weeks with my first child and I am so excited. I have to say that I have never been so tired. I work full time and its going to be a long 7 months. Morning sickness has been kickin my butt. haha. BUT my dr said that there is a pill they can give pregnant woman for the morning sickness...so if ur interested talk to your dr about it!!

To the moms wondering about the brown discharge...I'm NO doctor, but this is my second pregnancy, and I had similar concerns about discharge the first go-round. I saw some brownish mucus a few times, and often saw a greenish mucus. I know that seems gross, but after talking to many other experienced moms and my doctor, I was told it's normal. But beware if it accompanied any strange cramps (some cramping is normal...your uterus is stretching) or other symptoms that you believe to be odd. And doctors have never scolded me for asking those "silly" questions at my visits. Good luck!

8 weeks pregnant and saw the little nugget and heard the heartbeat yesterday! It was an awesome feeling! (11/14/09)

I am approx. 8 and a half weeks pregnant and have had pretty bad experiences with severe constipation. Have been to the emergency room twice because the constipation was so bad it was causing very labored breathing. Any suggestions on how to get normal...besides the usual fiber, fruits, psyillium, prune jjuice, typical gental laxatives (ducolax, sennes s, etc). Have tried all of the above. Appreciate any suggestions.

I had that brown spotting about a week ago....called the dr. its normal, unless u have really bad cramps or pain.

The browninsh discharge is normal. I'm about 8 weeks pregnant with my 3rd, and I had the discharge with my first two. It went away after a couple of weeks. As long as there's no pain or discomfort, you'll be fine...

Today I am 8 weeks! I have found that Icebreakers Sours really helps to cut the upset stomach feeling. It takes your mind off of the urge to throw up or dry heave. We are very excited and I just found out yesterday that a cousin of mine is due in the same month as me!!

Hello ladies. Does anyone have nausea remedies to share? Gee golly. I've been feeling so bad lately. Nothings tastes good at all. It's not just morning sickness. It's all day, all night sickness. I know for sure that this baby is growing strong. :)

i'm jus slightly over 8wks preggers, but boy oh boy do i get sick. its anytime of the day. mornings are the worst, i am pratically invalid. i throw up so often at wk its become normal, but i look forward to the baby comin n i feel comforted. i'm also scared but i dont let that get me down. goodluck to all da expectant moms.

Im 8 weeks today and this is my second. Im nervous to see how this pregnancy is going to be different from the first. So far no morning sickness..

I'm 8 weeks, my first pregnancy - with twins. It took the last two weeks to absorb that news. It's exciting! I'm also managing thyroid disease and want to sleep all the time. Any advice out there?

We just had our first ultrasound today 1/08/10. We saw the heartbeat and dicovered our little person is 1" in long. it was so exciting and reassuring, just what we needed to see to make the pregnancy seem even more real. good luck to all you mommy's.

Hey ladies. Alike many of you, I too am in my 8th week (today) with my first child. I'm super scared as well and just hope everything goes well. Anyway.. Because of some comments I saw regarding brown discharge, I decided to look it up in case it happens to me too. Here are a link that might ease your mind. http://www.pregnancywizard.com/signs-symptoms/brown-discharge.php It's most likely old blood being discharged from your body.
