Your Pregnancy: Week 8

This morning I woke up with a brown mucus discharge...is this normal??

Morning sickness?? Try 24/7 sickness! It's so hard to even eat a cracker or drink a glass of water!

My 8 weeks just hit yesterday. Just like Tashamama, this is our first child. We are both scared and trying to figure everything out. But congratulations to all the other mothers!!

I'm about 8 weeks also... and also with our first.... I can't wait and we are super excited. I can't wait to find out what we are having. Im lucky I haven;t had any sickness. Just Queasy!

i've had the same brown mucus.... i'm hoping it's normal since i'm not the only one having it. anyone know what it is or means?

I hear you on 24/7 sickness. 8 weeks on Sunday, and I have had two weeks of nausea. I start feeling a little better around 10 PM so I have been staying up until 1 AM or later just to take it in. I work from home, so I'm grateful to have the choice. I can't imagine going into an office feeling this way. I don't know how much more I can take.

I am 8 weeks and so far so good. This is our 6th pregnancy, no live births. I am thankful for our angels. My husband and I are praying that we will gladly welcome our new addtion to our family in March 2010. Ladies stay prayerful and God Bless.

Congrats on the house Tashamama! We're in the same boat, we discovered that we were pregnant the same week that we went into contract on our first house, which also happened to be the week of our first anniversary. Lots of things to celebrate all at once! Preparing to move during morning (aka most of the day) sickness is proving to be quite a challenge, but we'll be so happy to be settled into our new home well before the little one arrives. Good luck with your move too!

My husband and I have just bought our first house and I'm 7 weeks pregnant with our first. Firsts are exciting!! :-)

This is our first child and we are super excited and scared! Today makes 8 weeks and I have my 2nd dr's appointment. Yesterday, I felt ok, then all of a sudden I felt so fatigued and it made me want to cry. I don't know if that is normal, but I also am constantly queasy.

I'm 7 weeks and 5 days and just wanted to respond to the posts about the brown mucus. I had this as well from the 5th to 6th week. I went in for an internal ultrasound and everything was fine. My doctor said just to get "uterine rest", meaning NO exericse and NO sex - just until everything gets a little further along. Good luck!

Here is some weirdness ... any answers? Monday and Tuesday I feel like poo runover twice by tractor trailer. Nausea, Vomitting, Fatigue ... yada yada ... Then poof ... on Wed. and for the rest of the week I feel reasonable ... not great ... but at least I can function whereas Monday and Tuesday I can't ... Thoughts?

This is our first pregnancy and we just found out yesterday at 8wks that we are having twins!! It was the neatest thing to see those little beans on the ultrasound.

I'm with you there 24/7 sickness im like uggg...I hurt as in some light stretch like cramping if that makes any sense and I'm so unbelievably tired. Even still I work full time and I'm seriously thinking this working full time thing isnt going to last long.

i had the same thing with the discharge last week. I called my doctor, he said its totally normal. it's just old blood coming out, because there is so much new blood being pumped around your body. as long as there is no red, or bad cramping it's fine. :)

ok so i had brown mucus discharge last week and my doctor said it was from the vaginal ultrasound she also said it can happen after having sex. its little blood vessels in your cervix that broke. i thought i was having a miscarrage but i wasnt can you tell this is my first time being pregnant.

I'm 8 weeks and this is my first too...I'm just dying to get through this first trimester! Get over the nausea and get into the "honeymoon stage"! Anyone else lost all their mojo? I'm dying here! Also...how cute will it be when we finally look preggo? lol

go for our ultrasound today! Can't wait-the doc says we may be able to see the heartbeat!

Hi, I had that brown mucus discharge too, when I was 5 weeks and it was there until last week, now I'm 8 weeks and it's not there. I talked to the doctor and he told me that it's normal and everything is fine at least that u bleed or u have intensive cramps. If u are still concerned call ur doctor. this is my first baby so I was really worried!!

i am 8 weeks and crackers are no help for morning sickness!!!

I've had the brown discharge as well. I've been told its from the prenatal pills and extra hormones.

razzberry... awe... i can't believe i'm doing this again.. after 25 years.. i'm nervous but happy.. good luck to all you other pregos out there...

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!

8 weeks pregnant and have been on the couch for two weeks now had to drop all classes and cannot really do anything as I am SO weak from anemia have stomach pains from the iron I am taking as well as super crazy nausea. I am really upset i cannot continue living my life right now. Hope it gets better soon.

I am 8 weeks today and the nausea kicked in last week. Sometimes I have it in the morning and sometimes I have it in the evening...and sometimes I have it in the afternoon. It comes and goes so I am constantly drinking ginger ale or the ginger tea that I made. I try to eat when I am not so nauseous.

I am 8weeks too and last week i had brown spotting and slight cramping i went to my OB because I am high risk (I have had 4 MC) he did an U/S and i saw and heard the babys heart. he said everything looked fine but still had a chance of MC. I go back this week for an U/S I hope everything is ok

my husband and i are 8wks preggo with our 1st child! We going our 1st baby appt tomorrow!!! I'm SOOO excited to hear the heart beat! We had a miscarriage in June and are so lucky and happy to have what seems like a healthy pregnancy so far. =] good luck to all you mommy's out there!!

Congrats ladies! We are just as excited! We are about 8 weeks with our first little one! And just to ease some of you ladies, I had the brown discharge for a few weeks and it is finally going away. I also had a little blood when I wiped last week , so I went in early for the US, and we got to see the little heart beat and everything was great! :)

I am 8 weeks also. Brown spotting is normal. Your cervix has lots of blood flowing right now.

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!

I haven't been sick at all, and get nervous bc they say if you are sick you are less likely to miscarry. I had a miscarriage earlier this year. So be thankful that you have an outward sign that everything is working as it should! And I'll try to be thankful that I'm not sick! :0)

I wish my morning sicknes was just beginning.... its just getting worse, i've had it for 2-3 weeks now and today it was so bad I had to stay home from work and I slept all day long! The cramping started a little today... that scared me, but my do assures me it is normal. I'm waiting to tell my mom until Thanksgiving and trying to tell her i'm fine when she knows something is up is killing me!

We had our first OB appointment today! The babys due date is july 2nd :) We were able to hear our babies heart beat on the sonogram today and we even got our baby's first snap shots!! 2 pictures :) Me and my fiance couldn't be happier

MORNING SICKNESS SUCKS! CANT EAT ANYTHING .FEEL BAD NOT FEEDING MY LITTLE BABY GOOD.

I had my first dr appt today. It became so real...it has been real to me for the last 4 weeks, but to have that confirmation and seeing the little heartbeat flash on the screen. I couldn't help but cry...my DH even teared up. We've only told our parents and a few very close friends. Now we can tell other friends and family. I'm so excited!!

I am about 8weeks pregnant. Last night I got really worried because I was cramping. I heard it is normal to cramp though but it still worries me. I have my first doctors apt on January 22. The doctor said he didn't want to see me till I was 12weeks so I could hear a strong heart beat. I pray its a strong heart beat!!! I've been having a lot of morning sickness but its starting to get a little better. This is also my first so I pray everything goes good.

My husband and I are having baby number 2. We have a two year old son and they will be close to 3 years apart when this baby is born. We are so excited. This pregnancy is totally different than my first. I am sick ALL the time from day 1, hungry ALL the time and my emotions are out of control. My poor husband! We had our first doc. appt. last Monday the 21st and everything looked great. We got to see the heartbeat which made me feel so much better. My husband said "Looks like little nugget number 2!" He called my son a nugget the first time he saw him on the ultrasound. It was a cute little nickname! Being 8 weeks, is anyone showing yet? I was in maternity pants with my son at 13 weeks but that was because my other pants were uncomfortable. Anyone having that problem yet?

I'm 8 weeks today with my second child. So far I have nausea, bloating, gas and fatigue. My breasts, suprisingly, are not that sore, but definetly bigger. We had our first visit to the doctor at 4 weeks. Our next appt. is this Fri. for our fist ultrasound. We can't wait.

i am 8wks pregnant now with our first child together. i am also nervous but excited too. we had our first ultrasound a few weeks ago! it was really cool you could see the out line of the baby and the heart moving you could also hear the heartbeat! at 6wks at that time the baby had a really strong heart beat! my husband is very excited!!

I'm 8 weeks and 3 days

I am 8 weeks pregnant and struggling to get enough to eat and enough sleep. Ever since I got the H1N1 vaccine last week I have been battling a cold and can't sleep more than two hours at a time. Plus, my appetite has gone down the tubes. I am drinking protein shakes to get enough calories. Please tell me this gets better!?

I'm 8 weeks as well almost 9 and i've had trouble catching my breathe at random bouts of the day.. has anyone else had this problem?

I am 8 weeks and experiencing major nausea all day. Constipation for a couple days followed by diaherra and feeling really sick. Anyone else feeling this way?

Question - Is anyone just feeling nauseous now? I thought I lucked out and felt fine (other than tired) up til now. But now the nausea is starting. Is that normal for it to start around week 8?

well i got the swine flu shot a couple of weeks ago so far im fine so i do reccommend it so if you havent protected your baby you should do so now

I am a little over 8 weeks and I am so nauseous sometimes I just want to throw up. Seems like I would be relieved. I am super excited and scared. I have an appointment 3/4 and pretty anxious to see how the development is going.

i was fine week 7 and even a bit nervous that i wasnt having any symptoms other than soreness in my breasts....well, i am now CONSTANTLY sick. i feel like i am on one of those spinny rides at the park. round and round all day long! me and my big mouth!!!

I'm 8 weeks 5 days pregnant with my second (technically my fourth) but I'm already showing a lot. Are there any other 2nd time moms showing a lot more this time around. I don't mind....it is just surprising! :) Hope all of you have wonderful pregnancies!

I am 8 weeks today and had my first dr. appointment with pap 3 days ago. i woke up this morning and was spotting through the night. not a lot, but having had a miscarriage last year I am completely terrified. My hubby said he read that sometimes during the pap they can scrape and cut you and its just your body releasing the clot. has anyone else had this? im not cramping or in any pain whatsoever (other than the morning sickness) bleh

8w2d. Having nausea, constipation and headaches. But so happy and blessed to be carrying a new life!

Ultrasounds are super exciting but make sure you do your research on them ladies! There are increased chances of baby having hearing troubles... the ultrasound is high frequency sound vibrations being hurled at your baby. I plan on getting only one in the later part of my pregnancy to ensure baby is not breech.

I've had the brown mucas discharge too. Based on my research and OB thoughts...it's totally normal and fine.

I know how you feel about the sickness, I can bearly eat anything without getting sick

I haven't been nauseous, but I have been HUNGRY! It's a hunger like I've never felt before and I just have to eat more. I see from this week's update that I'm not supposed to show yet, but I know I've already gained some weight - I have a little belly.

I am 34 and 8wks preggers with my first child. I am so nervous. All of my family and friends are thrilled. I am so happy for the support system that I have they are all so wonderful. The only problem is my boyfriend is very unsupportive...he is not happy at all and I have been so stressed about it. Everyone tells me he will come around I just never imagined my first pregnancy would be so stressful. How do you deal with the dad not being involved?

The brown discharge could just be from chorionic hematoma. Kinda like a bruise from implatation that usually gets absorbed or bleeds out.

The brown discharge could be chorionic hematoma. Just a kind of bruise that gets absorbed or bleeds out. An ultrasound can identify this. I have one now and am a bit nervous, but all the research I've done shows that it generally clears up on its own.

I am on my second pregnancy. This one is much harder than the first. My morning sicness consists of extreem hunger pains and then nausia when I do eat. I am writing because I did figure out that cutting out the sweets (my cravings) is cutting down on both smptoms. I am really battling on what's worse though. Because the smells in my home (cooking and cleaning supplies)are doubling my "morning" sickness. I also bought an air purifier. It goes in every room with me. It has cut down on half the smells. I hope this helps someone else. It took me 4 weeks to figure it out.

I'm 8 weeks pregnant and I cant seem to get myself on track. I have morning sickness all day! Just a little walking brings bouts of fatigue and I can't seem to get an appetite. so far, I have lost 9 lbs. I drink ensure and take my prenatal vitamins to ensure that the baby is getting the nutrients it needs but how do I start to feel better? I want to be happy but this feeling is so frustrating. Can anyone give me any advice?

Yes it's normal to have brown mucus discharge. Do be concerned if its bright red and with heavy flux

I'm 8 weeks pregnant. I've been lucky so far with morning sickness. I've only had a couple of mornings where I felt dizzy, but I was fine as soon as I ate something. I have been dizzy, I have taken more naps in the past 2 weeks than I've taken in the past 2 years, and I do have some cramping. The doctor said that the cramping is normal as my muscles are stretching and getting ready to make room for the little one.

Im 8 weeks today with my first baby. I go to my first Ob apt on Monday and I'm so excited. Luckily I have had no symptoms other than tender breasts. Believe me I know Im lucky but Im having a hard time making this pregnancy reality.

I found out today that I am having TWINS...... I am 8 weeks and 3 days along.... What a surprise that was!!

I just called my doctor and the brown mucus discharge could be normal, yes, espcially after intercourse (can last up to 3 days after intercourse, an ob appointment or an internal ultrasound). If it turns into red blood or very heavy then contact your doctor immediatly.

I''m 8 weeks pregnant today with my first pregnancy and super excited! i have been having morning sickness and bad cramping and have been extremely tired! I'm a little nervous because I have a MTHFR mutation with 2 copies and go to the perinatologist tomorrow to see what precautions I need to take during the pregnancy. hopefully all goes well!

I'm eight weeks today and I feel the fatigue, bloating and cramps. I just cannot wait until I can get to be in my second trimester and my miscarriage rate decreases. :)

I am also 8 weeks Pregnant, and this past thursday I got to see the babies heartbeat! I am considered High risk becuase I am diabetic so i am told I will get more ultrasounds that a normal pregnancy. I am super scared as well... since before I found out I was preg. I had little cramps... and the last 2 days they have been MIA.... now i am worried.. i never thohught I would miss cramps....

12 week ultrasound scheduled. Can't wait!

8 wks preggers. Cramping, back aches, major fatigue, & loose stool. Don't remember going through this the first time around. Spending a lot of time in bed. Midwife says it's normal. Also, not doing regular monthly exams. Not neccessary if taking care of self & not a high risk. Will get ultra sound @ 3 months to hear heart beat & count appendages, for fun.

I am 8 weeks and 3 days pregnant. This is my second child. My first is almost 5 years old and BOY is she excited!!! I am so excited for this new baby and so is my partner <3>

So....I had my first ultrasound yesterday and the doctor measured me at 6 weeks in stead of 8 weeks! We really thought I would be 8 weeks based on my last period. Has this happened to anyone else?

I have gained 10 lbs and I'm only 8 weeks. My boobs feel about a good 6 or 7 lbs each....maybe that's where it came from??

I am 8 weeks pregnant. For the morning sickness (aka all doggone day sickness), try Sea Bands. They are a band you wear around your wrist to stave off nausea. Most people use them for sea travel, but they work extremely well for morning sickness. You can find them at your nearest drug store. I hope this helps. Good luck to all the future mommies. :)

Hi, Im 8.5 weeks prego, and may i say Bloating anyone???? uh! i havenit been getting any morning sickness, or food aversions, but feel like my little gut , that i normally "suck in" during the day with no thought has a mind of its own now- it is soo uncomfortable, and while i can fit in all my clothes , my pants feel as if i just ate christmas dinner - all the time. Does anyone know how to fix this horrible feeling??

Hello Mommy's!!! I am also a first time mommy and super duper scared!!! I am 8w3d as of today. And I am due December 31!!! I cant wrap my finger around the fact that Im about to be a mom. I dont think it will hit me until I start feeling something or showing a little bit. I feel that I can see a little bump when Im sitting down but it may be all in my mind!! Good Luck to all!!

I just started the morning sickness last week and I could not keep anything down at all, the whole day...had to go to my OB and get Zofram....loving it...have not thrown up since last week.

I am currently 8 weeks and am having a feeling like a "lump in my throat"?? Wondering if anyone else has ever had this. I bought indegestion meds but just don't feel like this is what it is..

I've had all day sickness also...miserable!! The dr gave me some meds that have helped a ton, you should ask about that!

Cant wait for 2nd trimester!

I am 8 weeks regnant with my second child my first child will be 9 in july so we are very excited for our new bumdle of joy.. our son is very excited and has been asking to be a big brother for a long time now :)

Congratulations to all the other mothers!! I will be eight months this week, too. And I have my first sonogram appointment tomorrow.

I'm about 8 weeks preggers with baby number 2 and also had brown spotting. My Dr. said it's completely normal, but to take it easy for a week after spotting occurs. Hope that helps :)

I'm 8 weeks today, first baby, and very scared....excited too. I haven't really had any morning sickness and am beginning to worry why not. I think I've been much more fatigued than normal but that is about the only difference I can tell. Is this normal?

First child, 8 weeks, go for ultrasound in 3 days! so excited to see our baby!!i cried because my husband ate the rest of the leftovers!!! talk about emotional. Morning sickness all day! So tired, I'm surprised I haven't passed out sleeping on my desk at work! All my jeans are a bit tighter than normal already. I can't wait till the 2nd trimester (rumor has it, it gets easier!) We will see:)

I'm going to be 8 weeks in 2 days and I've been experiencing the brown discharge (with a slight odor) on and off for the past week and a half. Is this normal? I'm a little worried because my last pregnancy ended in a missed m/c around this same time...

I am sick all day every day. The only relief I had was actually throwing up, and I've only done that once. I just stay nauseous. This can't be healthy...any tips?

Ginger is an ABORTIVE and should not be recommended to pregnant women EVER!!!

Im 8 Weeks and we are super excited!! Next week we are moving into our house cant wait!! Panezott1154- I have a white discharge but nothing brown...I would definitely ask my doctor. Barnedmr- You havent had a ultrasound yet?? Oh my that would be drive me crazy. I got one when I was 6weeks to find out the fetal age. It felt so good to know that a budle of joy was in there.

I havent had any discharge. But my Dr. did put me on some progesterone supplements to increase my levels (they were ok, just a tad low. But still within normal range) I havent had any morning sickness yet. So this baby is still surreal for me! WIth my last 2 babies I had it 24/7 & so far just a lot of nausea & hearburn. I did see the baby at my 6 week check up. It was so little but we did see the heart beat! I cant wait for my next apt on July 8th...we get another ultrasound than...I cant wait!! I am high risk (I was with the last baby too) so I get a lot of ultrasounds. That is the only upside to that!

i'm 8 weeks... tired... usually a little nauseous all the time... busy at work... and can't wait til my next OB appt in two weeks! i hope everything is ok in there...

I had my first apt today along with an ultra sound. The Dr said we would not check for a heart beat since the chances of hearing it this early would be 1 in 100. As she was doing the ultrasound, she must have thought to give it a try. We heard it loud and clear. She looked at me with a "did you hear that?" look. She was as excited as we were!

I'm 8 weeks pregnant. This week we have our first OB apt and we are also closing on our first home on 7/31 also!! :) Congrats Tashamama

Im Currently 8 Weeks Pregnant Wth My 3rd Baby And Rjght Now Im Not Showing Any Emotions Of Excitement Or Sadness Im Kinda Confused On My Emotions The Father Is 42 And Im 24 And I Wonder Does That Play A Role On My Emotional Rollercoaster Ride Can Someone Please Give Me Some Advice?

I am around 8 weeks pregnant with my second little blessing from GOD we just had a angel in November of 2009 and he sadly passed away on Jan 8th 2010 due to SIDS. We are so happy scared, excited all in one! I know GOD will get us through this and We know that our little angel is watching over us! Congrats to everyone. Havent had morning sickness thank GOD really quezzy all the time and super duper tired!

I've been throwing up and I have nausea constantly...It is absolutely horrible to throw up stomach acid...

I'm 8 weeks too and have had very similar symptons as the ones below. I feel soo tired all the time and hungray but when I eat something it makes me nauseous or like I'm full. Just can't win. We had first U/S on Wednesday - very cool! Our lil blueberry was approx 1 inches and its heart was beating 143 bpm. I can't wait for U/S and OB visit in week 12.

I am 8 weeks along and have been lightly spotting brown blood the past 3 days. I went to my doctor today, and baby is perfectly fine! She said it is very normal to spot throughout the pregnancy, however it's always a good idea to let your doctor know about it. Not only does it give them a heads' up, it gives you all the assurance you need as well!

I am just over 8 weeks along and I am nauseus all day long and throw up at least 3-4 times a week. Don't know about the ginger but sprite with ice makes me feel so much better. Last week I had bright red blood when I whiped after intercourse, made an emergency appt with the doc for an U/S and everything was great! Doc says bleeding occurs because you're uterus and cervix are stretching and very swollen, and sudden movement that hits the inside can tear. Doc also told me that if I am EVER scared or nervous to call him immediatley, no question is to small or unimportant when it comes to the health of you're lil' peanut and you. Anyways that is what we pay them for isn't it? 02/14/2011

MY BOYFRIEND SAYS I EAT ALOT TO HAVE A RASBERRY IN MY TUMMY

brown mucus discharge is also happening to me...! what is it and why is it happening?

i'm 8 weeks today :) no morning sickness, VERY sore breasts and mild cramping. i'm so excited i'm prenant and can't wait to find out what we're having !!!!!

Found out that we are 8 weeks today! We are so excited and GOd is amazing! are little boy is 8 months old and he is with Jesus so we are having another lttle one! everything is pretty normal so far!

I am 8 weeks today and soooo excited this is me and my husbands first and we actually just bought our first house in January. I can't wait to start decorating the baby room. I had an ultrasound last week and we got to hear the heartbeat, it was the most amazing thing I have ever heard. You can never forget that sound.

Its amazing how different each pregnancy can be. I'm about 8wks pregnant with my 2nd child, and its TOTALLY different. With my daughter I was sick ALL DAY, EVERYDAY for the 1st trimester. However with this baby I've only gotten sick a handful of times, yet I'm tired all the time. I can already tell how different these 2 will be. :)

Im 8 weeks pregnant and have very sore breasts. Any suggestions for pain relief besides pills?

I am 8 weeks pregnant today with my second but my first is 10 years old so it is almost like my first again and I am lucky enough to not have the morning (aka all day) sickness. on the other hand I am hungry all the time and wake up almost every morning (3 AM ish) with hunger pains sometimes so bad that I have no choice but to get up and find something to eat. my first OB and Ultrasound is Aug 4th and I can't wait to see my baby

I'm 8weeks today, Had my very first ultra sound today. Baby is the size of a little peanut :) Didn't get to see much but I did get to see the heart beat! Hubby and I are very excited

About 8 weeks and had first OB appointment today. Saw and heard heartbeat on sonogram. The absolutely most amazing thing I have ever seen!! It made it all so very real.

I am 8 weeks today and I was told by by nutritionist that because I have been drinking a lot of lemonade that its probably why I haven't been getting any morning sickness...which is great!!! We are so excited this is our first.

@MsAminaNevels - Check out the documentary "The Business of Being Born." It focuses mainly on home births, but gives good information about stikcing up for your birth plan if you want to have a natural birth. As long as you're healthy, not a high risk pregnancy, and the baby isn't in distress, I don't see why you shouldn't be able to have a natural birth. The two things I've learned is that you should find a practitioner who respects your wishes and a hospital that offers what you want, and will give you time to deliver - not rush you out (C-section) so they can clear your bed.

I am 8 weeks pregnant and my first ob appt is not until September 1, and my first ultrasound is Sept. 30.....does this seem too far away to anyone else? I don't have any concerns yet, I am just tired and have a low appetite, minor indigestion. I was hoping to see the doctor much sooner....Any suggestions?

I am about 8 weeks and i have not been sick at all. I feel great.I go back to the doctor in 2 weeks so i can see the little one. Good luck to you all.

I have my first Dr. Apt today and couldn't be more excited. Im getting marred in less then 8 weeks, and moving in 5 weeks!! So much in so little time :)

I am approximately 8 weeks pregnant. This is my first pregnancy so I'm excited and terrified. My first appointment is 8/10 which will be the inital prenatal blood work, exam etc. I have my questions ready so I'm looking forward to the visit. Can't wait until our first ultrasound.

I'm super grateful that I haven't been too sick =) Just some heartburn and cramping, but I haven't thrown up at all!

I cannot believe that I am 8 weeks already! I have been extremely nausaus and today just couldnt bring myself to get out of bed.

Did my sprint tri yesterday,, felt great! Half marathon in October. First US is on the 11th. Woohoo!!! Exercise does help eliminate morning sickness!

I'm 8 weeks one day today and we had an ultrasound this morning! It was amazing to see that little tiny baby in there! I also have had a little pinkish brown discharge. The nurse said it's really normal right now since the placenta is still attaching so there might be little bits of blood mixed in with the mucus. Obviously if you have lots of bleeding you should go in but it also said in my Fit Pregnancy weekly email that if you see a tiny bit it's normal at this stage. I hope that helps someone else too!

im pregenent with my first im 3mnths :) kinda scared im 16 an still in skewl an living with my parents .im a 11th grader )

I guess I got lucky, I haven't had any morning sickness. No cramping. A little bit of a discharge, which I thought was an infection... It's not. I have my second doc appt 8/23 and I'm hoping to get our first sonogram then. I don't feel much different from not being preggo, aside from EXTREME fatigue.

I am 8 weeks pregnant and CANNOT stop sneezing! Anyone else having this issue?

Loving my 8th week! I'm eating normal again, almost, no more nausea for now. I had my fav today BBQ ribs and sausage! It stayed down! Good day today! :-)

I'm 8weeks and 1day and I been sick and tired and breasts are growing it feel like I have a long way to go.

When will all this dizziness end:????

yeah crackers were helpful for the first couple weeks now they taste rotten and disgusting. I'm finding what tastes good one day tastes like throw-up the next. baby's getting a lot of variety in her diet! (im guessing its a girl. but this early who knows :-D)

im had my first ultrasound and istill excited and very happy

I'm 29 years old and expecting my third baby, I'm a teacher and I'm feeling very tired and exhausted beside the fact that I cannot retain food, and I'm so hungry but I'm scared to vomit here in school in front of my class so I try not to eat till the afternoon when my stomach settles a little more. Other than that I am very excited and cannot wait to have my third baby in my arms.

8 weeks pregnant today! This is our first, every week closer to the end of the 1st trimester the more excited I let myself be. Ultrasound is scheduled for next Thursday it is very scary and very exciting at the same time. Hoping that it will be normal.

I'm 8 weeks tomorrow and the 24/7 sickness is killing me! I keep reminding myself it's a good thing though. This will be our first child...we're both really excited and anxious. We've set some financial goals for ourselves so we can buy a house before the baby is 3. Hope that works our for us. :-)

My husband and I have just bought our first house and I'm 8 weeks pregnant with our first child! We are super excited. I don't feel pregnant at all i'm just extremely tired, always cold (even when it's hot out), heartburn and sore breast. I'm hope and pray these are the only side effects I get (knock on wood). Good luck everyone :)

I am 8 weeks pregnant today!!! I am super excited... I have no more breast tenderness, and I have not vomitted yet!! Besides the constant Y.I. that have occured twice already thats about all thats bad... I found out so0o early that I feel like my weeks are taking so long... But its all worth it...

I am officially 8 weeks today 9/24/10. I quit smoking cold turkey when we found out we were preggo and now I can smell EVERYTHING. I am nauseous most of the day, but worst than that is the constipation. I would seriously give up my vacation days at work if it meant that I could go to the bathroom and be satisfied. And having to take 5 metamucil pills as a daily dose is a JOKE!

I'm 18, 8 weeks prego, and scared shitless.

is a heavy white discharge normal on an everyday basis?

Im 8 weeks and 4 days pregnant (my first) that 24/7 sickness is brutal! Felt like a 24/7 hangover! I tried EVERYTHING! ginger gum, preggie pops, ovaltine, saltines, ginger ale, sea bands.... nothing worked..... ask your doctor for zofran! best thing ever and it doesnt make you sleepy!

I had the brown stuff too! it totally freaked me out yesterday. I havent had as much today...I just want everything to be okay.

Wow! It is crazy how everyone experiences such different feelings/symptoms. I am 8 weeks today and am on my second week of all-day nausea! It really feels like a persistent hang-over. I am also in my last 5 months of nursing school. Zofran really does work! This is my first pregnancy. Normally, I eat several small meals throughout the day, but I am actually finding that I really don't get hungry that often. Coupled with the nausea, I feel like I am having to force myself to eat something every few hours. As for the fatigue and tender breasts, I don't feel like it is as bad as it was the first 3-4 weeks. I do have one question. The constipation is terrible!!!!!! Any suggestions on coping? After two weeks of absolutely no coffee, I tried a few sips yesterday and today. Still not helping. I am now trying FiberSure in my OJ. I would love some advise for this. What weight I have gained, I am pretty sure is due to this!

I am 8 weeks 3 days.... I am getting excited to know that the baby is growing inside of me... but it's still not totally real! Even my husband is talking and rubbing and protecting my belly. Our first prenatal visit went horribly, so I am looking forward to the next one at the end of the month with a different NP.

I am 8 weeks pregnant too for the first time! I am so nervous/scared too, but excited! Just hoping for the best. I had my 1st ultrasound last week (7 weeks). It was great. I got to see the little blueberry :) that is making me nauseous! It's so worth it. I cant wait til i go back in 3 weeks for my next ultra sound. Hopefully ill get to hear the hearbeat this time instead of just seeing it!

im 8 weeks and this is my third child.there alot older now so i kinda feel like im starting all over again.

The brown mucus everyone is worrying about is just old blood working its way out. Just how blood does during your period. Its nothing to worry about unless your getting bright red or clotting discharge. Your fine tho. Its normal to have some brown discharge and/or spotting. Enjoy your babies. :) I'm 8 weeks too.

tashamama Im with you. Try a new marriage, first child, and first home...Im excited and very happy but anxiety kicks in sometimes...

I am 8 weeks tomorrow!!! It has went very fast so far but cant wait for 3 weeks until i can hear the heartbeat and we are in the military so usually they dont do a ultrasound until 20 weeks :( Lame!!!! but about the sickness.. I have been horribly nauseated and sooo exhausted. My boobs are aching so bad. I just feel like all my energy is gone and It is so emotional and really hard to deal with. Cause I am usually so active and busy. and trying to deal with a 6 yr ols. I finally went to the ER and got Zofran and it does work but for me some days I feel great now and some I am still feeling sick. I have tried all the tricks and preggy pops and ginger and crackers.. That stuff doesnt work.. But the Sea band bracelets worked the best so far out of all of it!!!!! good Luck Ladies

AS FAR AS I KNOW I AM 8 WEEKS AND 3 DAYS WITH MY FRIST CHILD AND I AM ALREADY SHOWING SHOULD I BE WORRIED ?

I was super excited but i have two step-children, both teens that live with us. They purposely do things they know stress me out or upset me. since they found out they do it even more so, and now I'm cramping so bad. I don't know what to do anymore?????

To: ARW0924 and other caffeine withdrawal or constipated mothers to be: I used to drink a pot of coffee or more a day, when my hubby and I started talking about trying to conceive, I cut down to 1-3 cups a day. Since learning about my pregnancy, I have tried to cut it out completely. Now that I have been so constipated, and so tired, I was completely frustrated... BUT I found something that is working for me. I have been drinking the swiss miss 25 calorie hot chocolate in the morning. Just one cup. It gives me just a little pick me up, and has helped the constipation too. I have been drinking it for about three days now, and it has relieved my constipation so much, that I haven't even thrown up! I still get nausea of course, but pregnancy just feels so much better with a little hot chocolate! Try it!

I'm 8 weeks almost 9.. feeling excellent - never had morning sickness... i do experience the brown mucus also - i've had two ultrasounds and the dr. said its perigestational bleeding - no sex, no excercise, no lifting.. so i'm taking care of myself and taking things easy.. this is our first baby and we are so excited! I'm due Memorial Day Weekend - a great kick off to the summer!!!

Well... I just found out a few weeks ago im pregnant... on the start of week 9. im only 18 (til nov. 17)...im so happy but so scared. i just dont know how to tell my dad. and im so worried all the time that somethings going to happen to the lil baby that im stressed all the time and all my boyfriend and i do is fight because im so emotional... im very overwhelmed...*sighs*

I must say that I have a 5 year old and 2 year old and am now pregnant with my third and for the first time I am not dying of morning sickness. I thought I was going to die with my first two pregnancies and now Im fine. Maybe Im being rewarded for my suffering of the last two! Good luck ladies....Remember, the sickness cant last forever!

Still so queasy. I'm not sure if it's the baby or the vitamines? I get hungry and eat and then at night I don't feel so well. Hope the 2nd trimester goes much better and I feel great!

hello ladies i'M 8 weeks and 4 day pregnant. This is my second pregnancy I miscarried my first at 8 1/2 weeks. I hope this time around everything will turn out ok. I'm not feeling any morning sickness with this one But I am feeling a lot of heart burn which really sucks but I guess our little peanut is gonna have a lot of hair so they say anyway :)

I'm in my 8th week.... I've had morning sickness 24/7 for the past 5 weeks since I found out about being pregnant. I'm so exhausted that the only way I make it through an 8 hour work day is to take a 45 minute nap in the back seat of my truck on my lunch hour... and when I get home I'm too exhausted to move. I'm behind in my classes (I'm in my masters program in grad school) because I have no energy to do anything and fall asleep while working on homework. I normally do homework during lunch but now that is nap time so I can finish my work day out. I've gained 2 pant sizes and feel huge even though I'm really not showing... I'm overweight and was to begin with. I've gained 20 pounds though... explain that one! My boobs hurt so bad if I as so look at them I want to cry... and I have to unsnap my bra and sit there for 10 minutes before I take it off. This is my 3rd baby and my two girls were completely opposite pregnancies but none were like this. I have heartburn like crazy which I've had with my girls too. Oh and I have 5 moods that I can do in 1 minute!!! My fiance has been amazing. Our wedding date is set for New Years Day.

just went to the doctor today and they said im 8 weeks and im happy but with no dad but me and the baby will be fine

I am 8 weeks pregnant with our fourth child. This one was a huge surprise. We have two graduating high school the same month that we are due. I have been major sick and tired with this one. Finally got Zofran from the doc. First US 11/11! YAY!

Does anyone else feel like being pregnant means being a bummer to the hubby? I love my husband, but feel like I'm cranky, sick, and tired all the time. Wish I could do something extra special to let him know how much I love him even though I don't feel well now...any ideas?

Babyjones25 I was thinking the same thing, maybe at 12 weeks or so. I also depends on the person and their body. My clothes no longer fit the way they use to but I don't see a big different in my stomach considering a had a little pouch before my pregnancy. How old is your post? Didi you start showing yet? I have an emergency appt today 11/8/10 because my spotting is still here from the pap smear. Some of my friends says it's fine but others say I shouldn't have done it. I do you know what to do when you find out your pregnant. Praying my baby is ok. Good luck

Hello ladies- I am 8 weeks and just had my ultrasound! It was amazing to see the heartbeat on something so little! I am sue that most of you feel nausea....I have been using sea bands on my wrist- they help with motion sickness but have been great for morning sickness also!!!

Going in for another ultra sound on Friday - I can't wait!

Im 8 weeks and I am always tired no energy to do anything, ladies is there anything that i cant eat, do , or take to get me back up on my feet again? I have two children that need their mom.

I have found that a great way to deal with the "morning" sickness is with mint tea and preggie pops. though, my dr. did recently prescribe Zofran to me, and it seems to be working. eating helps too :) it is difficult though, because sometimes NOTHING looks appetizing to me, but you just have to force yourself to eat it.

I am 8 weeks and 3 days. It is comforting to read these comments because now I know that I am not alone in some of this. My hubbie and I got married in March and planned to wait a year before trying but the pill was making me so sick that I had to stop taking them...so here we are...8 weeks preggers and excited and scared at the same time. I have lost 15 pounds and the harder I try to eat...the more I puke and the more weight I lose. I really don't want to do anything harmful to the baby. I can't wait until the sickness passes.

im 8 weeks today and OMG i am always hungry, or queasy, and often both. I have already gained 3 pounds womp womp womp! Family is coming in town in a few days and we will be spilling the news, that is unless of course they guess just by looking at my ravenous appetite, roller coaster emotions, car crash fatigue and the belly im ALREADY sporting.

Definitely sick of ginger ale! I take a ginger capsule (found at natural food store) as needed, and it seems to help. 24/7 sickness is exactly right for some people. Mine comes and goes all day, never know when it's gonna hit. Ugh!!

Aww its so exciting to see so many new "mommies" excited about their first baby!!! I am also 8 wks. I have 14 yr. old. twin boys and a 7yr. girl. Im hoping for multiples again!!! I know crazy right. Well, Im 34 and want to be done!! I started feeling a little queasy about a week and a hal ago and it seems constant (all day) but nothing major like running to the toilet. I am surprised however, that this pregnancy seems easier than I thought it would be at my age. I havent been fighting exhaustion like I did with my two previous pregnancies. I have to say... .I dont think my breasts EVER felt this sore and larger and I recorded everything with my last two. Good luck ladies!

I am almost 9 weeks pregnant with our first child i am reallly excited but i am sick all the time so that kinda takes away from the excitement!! I have my fist doctors app on 12/28 and i am supper excited i have had a ALOT of cramping though but i guess from what i read thats normal!!!

I am a first-timer, about 8 weeks and it amazes me how fast they grow! Just two weeks ago, the woman conducting the ultrasound told me our baby was only the size of a grain of rice!

this is my first, and i hate the sickness, just feel sick all of the time and i am getting fed uo of this now, had two weeks of this only getting worse and now i cant stand it any longer. Ginger not working for mr=e tried everything nothing works. Going off food but wanting something dont know what it is its driving me crazy

I'll be a full 9 weeks pregnant tomorrow with our first baby :) I've felt nauseas the whole time until a week ago when I started to feel great! Only, now this week I've thrown up everyday, sometimes more than once. I'm ready to get the the feeling great all the time part!

Im about 7 to 8 weeks i have my first ob appointment next week an we are super excited since this will be our first child. we were so shocked cause all my doctors told me i couldnt have kids so now i cant wait for my little one to be here an to hear her or his heartbeat is guna be great

im 8 weeks and sleep has never been so precious! im tired all the time and morning sickness...try all day everyday sickness! ugh! very excited though!!

Call your doctor if you have brown spotting. I had it and she had me come in just to be on the safe side. They did an ultrasound and took blood. Everything was fine but I felt much better hearing it from the doctor.

8 weeks and one day! sick off and on and very very tired. OMG im tired! and already showing. Cant wear my old jeans anymore! LOL! My body looks so funny right now! At first I thought it was just chubby tummy..but its not flabby or squishy or rolly! I am so happy and scared! got to see the heart beat last week! Lil thing looked like a peanut/sea monkey/alien! Hard to believe that will grow into a beautiful little person soon!

We are 8 weeks with our first, and are very excited! I just wish the sickness would take a hike (though it's only been a week so far), and today, I discovered a bald patch on my head $#!%!!! Anyone else suffering hair loss? I have noticed a lot in the last few weeks, and reading the "relax, it's normal" crap is not helping XD I guess it's one more thing to add to the listof questions for the doctor. Prayers and blessing to all us beginners < />

I am finally 8wks today! This is my husband and I's first little one. We are so excited to add this addition to our family. He or she will have 2 adorable cousins to look out for them and lots of Aunts and Uncles since my husband is from a big family. Last week we were able to get an ultra sound and hear the heartbeat. We were both estatic!! Now just counting down the days to Feb 2nd which is my next appointment. Then will get to see our little one again!!

So when 7 wks hit I developed MS...now at 8 wks I am so queasy all the time and when I take my prenatals I throw them up (I found taking them at night helps a lot). So emotional and tired all the time, but there is lots to do, I am planning my wedding on 2/26/11! First baby and I am so excited!

I'm 8 weeks pregnant with my 4th pregnancy. The brown mucus is OK, as long as it stays brown. I had slight brown discharge in approx. my 8th week with my 1st two pregnancies and all was great. I didn't have it with my 3rd until my miscarriage started, and then it was bright red and painful. Best of luck to all the new mommies, it will be a long summer, I'm sure!!

Hello all moms! As like most of you i am in my 8th week as well. I see a lot of you are experiencing the same things from cramping to the 24/7 sickness. Like mkandah i don't want to look at food therefore i hardly eat. I am pushing myself to eat something but man food is the most disgusting thing ever! lol

i was told i am 9 weeks 4 days, and this website says im 8 weeks according to my due date.. (confusing!) anyways..i have my first apt Feb 1st, this is our baby,&& my husband and i are very excited! i feel nauseous, but no fatigue, just get slightly tired on and off..i consier myself lucky because i work 6 days a week and i can handle it perfectly =) i have weird pulling feelings by where i assume my ovaries are located, and light cramping but i am okay with that because i know the baby is growing, and that assures me my littleangel is just fine (;

did anyone else get their first u/s at 5 and a half weeks?? What was your babies heartrate?? Mine was 95 bpm. Is that good or should i be worried?

I am 8 weeks pregnant and super excited, my family wasn't all that happy but my husband and i are thrilled. I am worried about everything i eat and do i have one ultrasound from when i found out over the weekend and i cant wait to go to my first check-up to make sure everything is ok. I'm freaking but so super happy!!!

I'm a little over 8 weeks along with our first child and had my first appointment on Monday and I get my first ultra sound on Friday! I am so ready and excited to be a mom! But first, I am anxious to start showing so more people know we're expecting! :)

hi my names valerie and im having my first baby and im looking for any advice anyone can give me im only 17 soon to be 18!(:

8 weeks today & am very happy! I just can't stand the fatigue!!! I have so much to do with basketball practice & games & all the other normal stuff I have to do with my 13 & 9 year old boys. All I want to do is sleep. But we are very happy with our new bundle of joy coming. Don't know what I was thinking with the starting all over but at least I will have some help! :o)

I am 8 weeks now! My husband and I got to see our baby's heartbeat :) It made it all real! We are so excited!

My dr says that unless you are soaking a pad with blood or cramping really bad that any bleeding is ok. I had some brown discharge and a little blood after sex. My dr said that your cervix is really sensitive and sex can cause that. If you are worried about bleeding call your dr. They understand us first time moms and are willing to answer your questions.

I'm about 8 weeks pregnant as well...while I'm scared he seems so confident that eases the pressure. I have my first sonogram on Wednesday and we're super excited!

im 8 weeks today!!! 1st child super happy i to had the same discharge i went to my ob tues. and told her about it and she said it was just old blood and if im not cramping everything will be just fine...

Im 8 weeks pregnant with our second child. Our first just turned four. I was super sick my first pregnacy vomitting almost every day a couple times a day and even lost 40pds my pregnancy. But theres hope so far so good with this one..only a little nausea no where near what I expericened before. Guess what they say is true every pregnancy is different.

I had downright spotting and cramping for almost 2 weeks. I was really worried. But the ultrasound showed that everything is fine. :) My doctor told me that in the first trimester, anything can make you spot-- sneezing, exercising, having sex, etc. It's because of increased blood flow to the cervix. There are actually more blood vessels being created, and they're fragile right now, so spotting is common. Of course, "they" say to talk to your doctor if you have spotting and cramping. But my recommendation would be: Don't panic until there's something to panic about!

8 weeks pregnant and this lil raspberry of mine is making me vomit at the very sight of food...i love the ginger tea/soup idea..made me feel so much better!! i notice every time i go out or lift up something heavy ,i get the brown discharge too, maybe its a way of my body complaining of the tiredness or something..

Does anyone know what the brown mucus discharge is or where it may come from?

I am almost 9 weeks along and am tired non stop...also my morning sickness has chosen to arrive in the evening instead of morning! Not very convienent either way as I work 5 days a week and have a 3.5 year old at home...this 2nd time momma to be is EXHAUSTED! Looking forward to 2nd trimester for some relief

I am 8 weeks and 4 days now, I can't wait!! I heven't really had any symptoms...just nauseus when I'm hungry and the usual sore boobs, but my hubby has been EXHAUSTED!! He's ready to be done :) We can't wait to see our little nugget! Got to hear the heartbeat and see our nugg last friday 8 wks, 1 day...what a peanut!

I am 8wk1d pregnant after a loss in December. Very easy pregnancy so far. No nausea, no soreness. I feel fantastic! Miracle baby and miracle pregnancy (thus far). :) Due in October!

I will be 8 weeks this Sat. with our second child. I had an ultrasound 2 weeks ago. I have been having morning sickness like crazy I never had it with my fist child. I am not liking it at allll.

I'm 8 weeks preggie and soooo tired. No morning sickness so far, touch wood. I am 39 and never thought I would be a mother to a second child. We have a beautiful 10 year old daughter who is going to be delighted when we tell her the big sister news in a month.

I'm 8 wks prg with my 2nd baby. My first child is a month away from being two. Looking after him makes me too exhausted to be excited, but right under that exhaustion there's excitement waiting for some energy to burst out.

I am around 8 weeks pregnant. I had cramping and sore breasts at first, those have subsided. Then came the nausea on and off all day and that has lasted about a week or so. Now that is subsiding and I have these CONSTANT flutters in one area of my abdomen. It's more of a spasm than gas, that is for sure. I hope my levels are OK. Does anyone else have these muscle spasms?

Hi all! I'm 8 weeks tomorrow and so excited! Although the nausea is about all I can take! Sea Bands have seemed to help me battle the really strong waves of nausea, which means the little ones are manageable. This is our first too and my husband and I are just beside ourselves excited! Congrats to all the mommies! :-)

I am 8 weeks pregnant and I am hungry ALL the time! I eat 3 regular meals plus multiple snacks all day. I have not gained any weight though which I guess is good. I am really tired in the afternoons. Getting through an 8 hour work day in the office is no fun. But I have been resting once I get home and then my hubby cooks dinner. Felt really nauseous last week for about 4 days but now I am better. I just have to make sure I eat as soon as I get hungry. Is this normal?! : )

I am also 8 weeks pregnant and am nervous about the pregnancy. . . first baby. . . cant wait to finish the first trimester to have some ease < />

I'm 8 weeks now and we're super excited to have our second child! The fatique is killing me though. I work fulltime. After my busy day I pick up our 19 month old and go home to start cooking and cleaning. It's been very difficult with chasing her around, and fighting the nausea while cooking. But when I feel overwhelmed I just look at our ultrasound pic and remember what a blessing we have inside me! Our family is super excited about the new baby!

WELL THE WEB SAYS I AM 8 WEEKS BUT I FEEL A BIT FURTHER ALONG WE WILL SEE ON MONDAY FOR MY FIRST APPT AND U/S

I am 8 wks, pregnant with my 3rd baby. :) and i am already showing!! this early for me is a first. Since with my 2 boys i didnt start showing till i was about 3 months. I guess every pregnancy is dif. Good luck to everyone. xoxo

I am SUPER fatigued! I have just been working part time while I finish my last few months of classes I am taking, and I am just exhausted by the end of the day! Daily naps have been a norm, not only to ward of fatigue, but to keep my mind off feeling so sick as well! Hope the next few weeks of this fly by!

RayJayBaby, the same thing has JUST started happening to me! I'm just at 8 weeks with my first little bambino, and I feel basically like puking all day until around 10 PM when I suddenly feel GREAT! I'm almost afraid to sleep because I know in the morning I'll just feel queasy all over again! I think it's just extra great feeling because we've been feeling like crap for the past 4 weeks and our bodies are glad not to feel like puking for once. I too have the brown discharge after sex, but I'm glad to know it's normal, and I'm glad to know what to watch out for that wouldn't be normal. Thanks all, and Congrats!!! So exciting!!

I'm 8 weeks pregnant with our first! My husband and I just moved into our new house last week! Everything is so exciting! That is, except for the constant nausea, headaches, and ZERO energy... Praying that the next few weeks bring a much better feeling to me!

im 8 weeks and 1 day pregnant with our first child. we are very excited! i was sick for 2 weeks then now its all gone :) but now im gaining weight and cant button my jeans which does not depress me i just wish i can fit into my sweats lol is anyone else gaining weight fast even though your 8 weeks?

8 weeks today! Other than occasionally feeling nauseous and getting tired really early in the evening, I feel great. I've been going to the gym, eating pretty much regularly, and not gaining weight yet. However, I am MOODY!! I have cried more in the past two weeks than I normally do in a year. I feel bad for my poor husband :)

I am 8 weeks today. Monday I was too sick to go to work but fine the rest of the week. I'm a so exhausted and moody however! I've gained a little weight (I couldn't button the black skinny pants I JUST bought :-/) but I can't wait unitl I have an offical baby bump!

I am 8 weeks today. No sickness, just queasy. Though when I was eating some oatmeal from Tim Horton's I started gagging. Granted, it wasn't an oatmeal texture that I'm used to anyway. I usually eat Quaker instant which is a little on the drier side. The Tim Horton's stuff was on the gooey side. Anyway, outside of that I'm feeling fine. Oddly though, my boobs don't hurt too bad. I had expected excruciating pain. I have my 1st drs appointment on Wednesday. I'm excited, but nervous too. I don't know what's gonna happen.

I'm 8 weeks pregnant today with our first! I'm so very excited, but I'm just not sure how I'm supposed to work! When I'm not feeling like I've been hit by a mack truck and trying not to throw up at the sight of everything while trying to concentrate at work, I'm ecstatic and just want to think about baby things! Oh well, the joys of being pregnant and growing a little life inside you right! :) Congrats mommies!

Ginger beer has more ginger in it and tastes better than ginger ale--no worries, it is non-alcoholic, like root beer.

8 weeks along and sick as a dog. It is awful. I hate being pregnant right now, it is so bad. Nausea, sleepyness and lack of energy is making me awful. No monring sickness...all day sickness!

I hit 8 weeks yesterday! So excited! We're going for our next U/S next Friday at wk 9! I've had the brown spotting 3 times since week 5. The Dr. said it was normal. I have noticed it comes after sex or if I've been on my feet for a long time cleaning house and cooking. I started experiencing occasional sharp pains above the pelvic bone. I just lay on my side and wait it out. I haven't had full on m/s, but have had mild nausea which became stronger when I hit wk 8. My face is looking green lately. I'm considering getting SeaBands. Anyone here successful with them?

I am 8 weeks pregnant with my first. I too was sick of Ginger ale to ease morning sickness. Mine had mostly been a continual nausea almost like car sickness or sea sickness. A little tip I have found is instead of Ginger ale try switching to sparkling water like San Pellegrino or La Croix. I found that the ginger didn't help my sickness as much as the carbonation did. Plus you can get different flavors like raspberry or lime and they don't have any sugar or artificial sweeteners.

I am 8 weeks Sunday and my morning sickness started right at 5 weeks! I threw up every singe morning for a week and a half until my friend (whos an OB nurse) gave me Zofran. Feel so much better, have not thrown up once and have so much more energy now that my all day nausea is gone! Absolutely get an rx so you dont have to suffer everyday!

Im week 8, have had a few days of queasiness, but whats worse is this pain in my back. Im used to getting extream back pain a couple times a year, but ever since finding out we are pregnant I have had spazims on the left side of my back. Is this normal??

I'm 8 weeks now and I'm excited!! This is me and my husband's first child as well, due around our 2 year anniversary which is funny but such a blessing at the same time....no morning sickness for me praise God! Just some nausea and my allergies are kicking my butt and messing up my sleep but I'm enjoying it for the most part!!

i am 8 weeks and 2 days and all i want to do is be in bed because i have ain i am noshises 24/7 ugh

Ps cheeze502@aol.com @ 6 weeks we were at 127 BPM... If you needed to worried the DR would have told you that, no worries... It gets faster each day... :D

Many people have episodes of brown discharge or even pink to reddish spotting. I am 8 weeks and last week I experienced a couple days with brown discharge. Not a lot but enough to always make you wonder. It stopped after a couple days and haven't had any problems. Hope this helps. Nausea is also a super problem off and on, it comes in waves and I at times have to force myself to eat. Good luck to all.

I'm 8 weeks prego and its not my first but it is his. I m just teaching my husband about all the changes my body is making..... He doesn't understand the tiredness and all daysickness right now... so I jsut have 2 b patient and work with him

Hey ladies! This is baby #2 for us! Whoo! TTC for 3 years and finally here! 8 weeks along today! Had our first sono last week. Saw the heartbeat, yolk sac, and visible baby! Ladies, all of you are saying how nervous you are- relax. Stress-free is best for you and baby. Relax :) I saw a post down there from 2010... Am I responding to old threads???? its 5/2/11 ???

I'm 8 weeks and tend to feel sick in the late afternoon early evening and even when I'm sleeping (weird)..if I don't snack all the time I feel worse. Not to mention my skin is not what it use to be with pimples forming regularly. I'm pretty calm about everything despise the list of increasing issues (lol) but I'm hoping it will all get a little better soon! ;)

8 weeks today with baby #1. I love this site for an idea of the baby's size. Comparing the baby to fruit is the most adorable thing. I also love the illustration of what it actually looks like so you get a really good idea of what is happening inside you.

I have to say that I have been extremely excited about being pregnant. My husband and I are counting down the days till my all day morning sickness goes away!!! I have been crazy sick since about week 6. I have lost about 18 lbs. in about 10 days, and my doctor is really worried about my weightloss. She has me on anti-neasea meds, which have helped, but they have had to double them since she gave them to me...I try not to complain because I never thought I was able to have children, but I have to say that I cant wait for this stage to be over!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm 8wks 5days with twins, these are our first children. We're both super excited but freaking out at the same time because this was not planned at all. So far I've been tired and nauseous 24/7, I work two jobs and don't know how I'm gonna make it through the next 7 months! But, on the bright side I had my 2nd OB apt today and got to hear the heart beats and see them again =)

Had another ultrasound today & baby's heartbeat is PERFECT!! and is measuring right on point! :) Yay my new 2011 baby!!

I've had a had a brown mucus/light pink discharge (going for a week or so at a time) on several occasions during the last 8 weeks and my doc said it is completely normal but I am all about peace of mind so just give your doctor a call. :)

I am 8 wks today may 12, 2011 w/our 3rd child. We have two boys& would like a little girl, but we'll take whatever the good Lord gives us, just as long as he/she is healthy. I have been so tired at work that I sleep during my breaks and lunch & my face is breaking out & sumtimes have low back pain. Haven't thrown up but sumtimes get nauseous & get heartburn after I eat. 8go to the dr for my 1st U/S on may 20th, super excited, we have an angel baby from aug 2010 so this is truly a blessing, congrats and good luck to all the mommies out there:)

wow this is off by at least a week... my december due date is a first time thing, i had several the first time around...

I'm 8 week 0 day when I had my first ultrasound. I heard baby's heartbeat, it was fast and loud, so amazing! Baby looked like a gummy bear and Doctor called him/her "Little Peanut" :) My fatigue is getting worse this week, it started at week 6 but stepping into week 8 I feel like I have zero energy most of the day and very very sleepy! *yawn* No morning sickness, no headache, and have gained 5 lbs since...

pickels helps with queasies

Does anyone know when its safe to travel?

we are selling our house and just bought a new one! we found out we got the new house on the day we found out we were having a little one! lots going on. we close on the new house tomorrow and start getting ready to move in after the initial cleaning and painting. im so tired 24/7 but i try to stay active so i sleep better! fatigue is the only real symtom i've had! oh and the sore swollen breasts!

i am 8 weeks with my 1st child im kinda scared since im only 18 (ill be 19 in june) and my boyfriend is in the airforce and is deployed until late nov. and im due dec 22 :(

I'm eight weeks and a couple of days. This is the first for my hubby and I. We are super excited but nervous too. This morning I had a freak out with tears. Emotions are running high. Hope this is normal and gets better!

i am 8 weeks on our first baby getting my first ultrasound next week and can't wait! But gee lord im sick of being sick. I also am sick all day until 8pm and i hate ginger. The only thing that seems to work well is a cold coca cola. But i try not to drink one too often since their isn't much nutrition in it. I really hate my prenatal vitamins, i'm really thinking of going to buy gummy vitamins. And yes im always sleeping!

I Found out on mothers day that i was pregnant. I went to the ER because I was getting extreamly sick for about 2 weeks. Nurse came back and told me i was pregnant! I had my first appointment last Thursday and found out i was at the time 7 weeks. Now Im 8 weeks and I'm extreamly happy!!

well today i just turned 8 weeks. according to my last period i should have been around 10 weeks today but when i had my ultrasound done last week they moved me back two weeks.

im 8 weeks and i still feel nothing just tired and night sicknesss normal?

we are pregnant with our 3rd child... i am convinced my m/s has gotten worse each time. im not sure if it is because i now have 2 kids to care for while working 3 jobs, but the exhaustion is killing me. i feel worthless when i get home because i am so darn tired? how is everyone balancing this. i am having major mom guilt because i cant do as much as i want with our precious kids. ..

8 weeks today with our 1st! I havent had any sickness at all so far just nausa. but i am so extremely tired. i do laundry and want to take a nap!

my doctor said (when I told him i thought I was preggo) "why do you think that?" (they were doing the test right then...) when I told him about my sore breasts, he said that was a pretty good indication. Very few things other than pregnancy cause both breasts to be so sore... Interesting.

I am 8 to 9 weeks. I haven't had any morning sickness. Thank God. But its my second baby. My daughter is two years old. and so far i feel great.

I am a little over 8 weeks and have my first doc appt this week. I am very nervous cause I have had little to no morning sickness (a little nausea here and there, but nothing significant) and not a whole lot of other symptoms either except fatigue and tender breasts which has decreased significantly since last week. My mom had a miscarriage when I was little that wasn't discovered until her doctor's appt. No tissue or anything was passed so she was under the assumption everything was great until the ultrasound was done. Her pregnancy symptoms went away completely but that was it. This makes me extremely nervous and I am hoping I don't discover the same thing at my appt on Thursday. Any comforting advice/suggestions so I don't make myself crazy over the next couple of days?

I'm 8 weeks and 5 days with my first. we are super excited, yet really scared. i had a miscarriage a few months ago, and i was relieved to hear the heart beat a few days ago. i was so excited. i started crying and hugged the nurse.

I hit 8 weeks yesterday. This is our first child and we found out we are having twins! I am so scared but super excited. I have not had any morning sickness or to much nausea (knock on wood) just a little tired and some great new boobies :) Good luck and congrats to everyone!

I'm currently 8 weeks & 4 days pregnant. This is my first pregnancy & I'm excited/scared at the same time. This is my first child, & My first doctors apt was today;; went better then I thought. Just exhausted with all this morning sickness.

I am 8 weeks pregnant today. I have been having good days and bad days. The bad days is from the fatigue. I would rather have nausea because the nausea is mild. I can barely function with how tire I get and I work a full time job. I sleep and drink water whenever I can. I had the brown mucus discharge, too. I think it was from sex or a really stressful day- went to a funeral. After reading the submissions on here, I think it was from sex. I am eating fine, but suspect the nausea will get worse. I am really excited about the baby, but I don't see my doctor for another week. I am just hoping to hear a heart beat. We are first time parents and look forward to chance of having a baby.

I am 8 weeks as of yesterday. This is our first pregnancy and we are newly weds! We are both so excited and feel very blessed because we were unsure if I could even get pregnant due to a very large fibroid tumor I had removed last year. Everything seems to be going fine so far. I was wondering, does anyone know when you are supposed to start showing? This can't all be fat! My pants don't fit already and I can't suck in my tummy at all, even just to make my pants fit. I was told I wouldn't start showing until the second tirmester. I go for the first ultra sound June 21st. So excited!!!

I'm be8 weeks pregnant and I have been super nervous about the first trimester! I'm so ready to finally get into the second trimester so that some of my worries of miscarrying can subside. I am super excited about this pregnancy!!!

I'm 8 weeks pregnant but it seems like it has been forever since we found out (3weeks). I finally get to see the doctor on Monday which is so exciting! Can't wait until the 22nd to see the ultrasound. :)

I am 8wks and 2days with number 2. My son will be almost 4 when this one is born. He is super excited just like we are. Due on Jan 20th but it will probably be a CS again so maybe a little earlier than that. I have seen my little bean twice now. Amazing how different the US are. I had an US at 4wks and 6days because I was in a car wreck and all you can see is a little black dot. Went back at 7wks 3days and there was my little bean. So amazing!!!

I am almost 8 weeks pregnant. My first appointment is Monday 6/20. This is my first child and me and my husband are so excited! I have tender breasts and I am tired all the time. Sometimes I feel a little bloated but other than that I feel great:)

I'm 8 weeks and 3 dayswith our first child and just had our first doctor's appointment and ultrasound today. We were so excited to see the baby and hear the heartbeat. I'm dying with fatigue but oh so thankful after reading the other posts to not have one bit of morning sickness at all. Hopefully I can make it 4 more weeks with the same feelings of only joy and not sickness!

I am so excited! After having a miscarriage at 8 weeks last year in August, I am now 8 weeks pregnant again. We went to our ultrasound today and saw the little tiny heartbeat! It brought tears (well more than just tears). I am excited for everyone that is where I am right now!

@tashamama that is too funny I am 8 weeks and we are also closing on our first house at the end of july!

I'm also 8 weeks pregnant with my first child.... a pleasant suprise for my husband and me! I am very fortunate to be on summer vacation from my teaching job, as I have been experiencing extreme fatigue, fainting spells, and weakness. There have been several days during the past two weeks where I have literally not had the strength to get out of bed, not to mention I look like death itself. I am normally an extremely active and inshape person. I realized that I was basically getting no iron in my diet or via my vitamin. I changed my vitamin and started eating cereal out the wazu! I still take a little nap in the afternoon, but I have been feeling SO much better. You might want to check your intake of iron if you experience extreme tiredness, fainting spells, paleness, weakness, etc. I have all-day nausea, but I have the stregth to get up and eat now. Jolly Ranchers do wonders!

I'm 8 wks pregnant with our first child. Next month is our first wedding anniversary so I'm excited about everything but also scared at the same time. My nausea comes and goes when it pleases lol.

I am 8 weeks now and I now have URI....Does your immune system go down when your prego?

This is my second pregnancy and I am only 21! I am nervous for how my 17 month old will be with a baby brother or sister! But i do remember from my first pregnancy a brown mucassy discharge, and it is totally normal, mine was constant i even had to wear a panty liner so the discharge didn't ruin my underwear. So no worries, just protect the panties lol

8 weeks 3 days with our first baby.....my little babe's heartbeat is going strong at 180 bpm. Heard it for the first time Wednesday and it was amazing! Have nausea, food aversions, and fatigue, but thankfully no vomiting. Tried Sea Bands for nausea and feel like they work.

I'm 8 weeks but I had a vaginal sonogram at 6 weeks. I noticed that the embryo is curved away from the uteran wall instead of curved toward it like in the picture above. This is my first pregnancy so I don't know how it should look. Should that be a concern?

Damn it.... it ate my post.... I've been SUPER PISSY lately.... anyone know when this will end so my husband can stop walking on eggshells?

Panezott1154 dont worry it might just be spotting and that is normal .. but if you have cramps or lower abdominal pain you should go see a doctor as soon as you can

I am 8 weeks pregnant and a first time mommy. Just want to say thanks to everyone for posting your questions and answers on here, this site is such a great resource!! Congrats to you all! Anyone on here from the Toronto, On area?????

Is anyone braking out like crazy??? I havent had this many zits since 7th grade!

Just hit 8 weeks on Monday. Super tired. This is my second pregnancy and both my husband and I are betting that it'll be a girl this time.

I am pregnant again after 15 years!! That is when I had my daughter and this pregnancy is sooo different. I never had morning sickness or cramping nor did I ever feel this fatigue and sick all the in my in my first pregnancy. I feel crazy!!! I am always nauseous and I have the craziest pains in my lower abdominal also I have terrible lower back cramps or pains. IDK what they are I just know they hurt! I have my first Doctors appt in two days and I really hope he has some answers for me because the way I feel in this pregnancy kinda scares me a little :( I congratulate all the new mommy’s on here and good luck !!! also if anyone else is going through some of these symptoms that I just mentioned please tell me how you are cooping with them. Thank you :)

Okay I'm 8weeks or so they think.I have a ultrasound this coming Tuesday July,12th because my HGC blood levels came back as 90,000 anyone know if that's a good thing or bad thing?I just lost a baby May 24 and the doctor said it seems I got pregnant the week after I lots my baby so I'm very nervous and scared.

Aww we found out we were pregnant the Day before fathers day, a month after closing on our house! apparently all we needed in the year of trying, was to buy our first house hahaha! My first Dr. Appt is on 7/18 (8 more days!). I'm probably about 8 weeks now. I'm hoping they will do the ultrasound then or probably schedule another appt for that... Not wanting to wait! My husband wants to see the little monster too! I get 24/7 sickness as well. no vomiting though, but i've been close many times. I'm amazed I can get myself to eat. I eat as soon as I wake up and I think that sets the motions for the day.. and I snack/eat every 2 hours to keep from being sick (and just to feed lol) I always feel more sick right before bed even if I just ate.

Im 8 weeks 4 days pregnant , this is my first pregnancy and im very scared.Still havent been to my first scan but hope to be very soon.Otherwise im feeling perfect , no morning sickness , i have a lot of energy and the only problem is abdominal pain from time to time. Good luck to all mothers to be !

Had my first ultrasound today and I am 8 weeks and 3 days. No morning sickness yet! Getting married next week, honeymoon and then we move into our first house. SO MUCH GOING ON but we are very excited. It will be a busy busy year. Hope you all are feeling good :)

On the brown mucus topic. I had it too and freaked out but i read up on it and whattoexpect.com said it was probably a sign that the fertilized egg has settled itself nicely in your uterus. It only lasted about a day or two for me.

I am 8 weeks pregnant with my first baby and I am sooo soo excited. I have my first "real" appoinment today. I am excited to see that everything is going ok, but I am not looking forward to the pap or the blood test. Im not a big fan of doctor's offices or needles but I guess I'll get over that quick. Anything for baby :). I have been feeling exhausted and have had some cramping and an upset stomach but fortunately no real morning sickness yet.

Is anyone else insanely thirsty all the time? I have to have a water bottle by my side 24/7.

Ha Ha Ha! We are 8 wks too. So excited!!! Closing on our 1st house at the end of this month and getting married in August...looks like full plates for alot of us. Good luck and dont get too stressed. Its all about the big picture. ;}

I am 8 wks and had brown mucous, too (daily from week 6 until two days ago). My doc said that it was probably old implantation bleeding (that took its time to make its way out the cervix).

8 weeks pregnant today...and since 2 days ago I began the single life :( Just hoping the depression goes away I know its not healthy for my baby, but what else are can you do?

all of my symptoms have changed and i am worried i will have another misscarrage. this is my second pregnancy and i am praying this one ends good. should i be worried if my symtoms have changed or i no longer have them?

sarahdodd1 - I wouldn't be too worried about your symptoms changing. I had really bad morning sickness and other symptoms for the first two weeks... then one morning I woke up and felt a lot better. It only lasted for a couple days and before I knew the the nausea came back with full force. I asked my doctor about it, she says it's very normal for symptoms to go up and down because your hormones are changing everyday. Today I saw the heartbeat of my little baby and everything is just fine! Good luck to you, and don't be stressed - it's not good for the baby or for you!

Third baby at 42. I willl be 43 when this little blessing is born. I have had to take prometrium to assist with my progesterone levels and so far so good. My hcg levels have not increased at a normal rate, but the fact that it is increasing is good. My big scare was no baby showed up on my first ultrasound at 7 weeks 2 days, so I have another one on Monday, 8/1. This is my husband's first baby and I need everyone to keep us in their prayers that this pregnancy remains viable and I can deliver a healthy, normal baby! Congrats to all of the moms to be. How fortunate are we!!!!

Higly recommend taking your prenatal vitamins at night. It helps me A LOT w/my nausea. Went for my 8 wk check up today. Dicharge, completely normal.

I Am 8 Weeks, I feel tiered all the time. I was always at the gym. Now I have missed 2 weeks, need to get back on track. I have sickness all day but I am so happy that it dont bother me.

Just had my first check up and I was happy that my husband went with me so he could meet the doctor. I am more stressed than excited. I want to be excited but cant be because I just lost my job. My husband works about 3 part time seasonal bar tending jobs and now im just working random shift at our gym. I need to find a job fast because my job was the one that paid the bills. Also no job means no health insurance. I want to start thinking positive and plan things but right now I cant.

I'm 8 weeks this week. the morning sickness has not been bad at all, just some nausea, but that is about it. I am exhausted most of the time though. This is my first, and a bit of a surprise at that. My BF decided it was a good idea to break things off the other day, so I'll be on my own, but I'm staying positive and super excited!

I'm 8 weeks and just had the first (vaginal) ultrasound last week! We saw a tiny flicker on the screen which is the heart beat but its too early to hear it on the doppler (or so my nurse says). The vaginal ultrasounds can see a lot more earlier so if your insurance covers it and your doctor's office has the technology then push for that if you're impatient like me and want to see something. I've been fighting nausea, indigestion,constipation etc and I've found that the best cure (for me) is to walk, walk, walk. The fresh air and circulation really make me feel better. I hope that helps some of you too. I feel for all you ladies with the severe vomiting! Also, I've been taking over the counter pro-biotics and that really helps keep me regular and is a good thing to take (like vitamins) when you're pregnant too. Just more good stuff to put in your body for you and baby!

Lots of first babies, how exciting!! This will be out 6th! We have a blended family he has 3, ages 21, 19, 11, I have 2 ages 18 and 14. My 18 year old is in basic training for the Navy and am so excited to have this baby that will build a bridge between our families. I am also 8 weeks today and feel extremely blessed! I just love to read your posts:)

Congrats to my fellow mommies-to-be! It hasn't settled in yet that I'm pregnant. This is the 1st for my husband and I, so I don't know what to expect and am trusting in God for the rest! So far NO morning sickness and I'm not feeling too tired. Only some minor food adversions. We are looking forward to our first OBGYN appt on 8/18. When has everyone else experience first signs of m/s?

I'm at 8 weeks! My husband and I are really excited. We are hoping everything goes well, we heard the baby's heartbeat on the ultra sound at 6 weeks! Strong little heartbeat! This is our second pregnancy. We lost our first one at 8 weeks. Praying that everyone's pregnancy is a happy and safe one with a bundle of joy(s) to take home in 9 or so months :)

I am almost 8 weeks pregnant. I don't have much nausea although this morning I did throw up. Odd but I feel much better now that I ate. I have already gained some weight. I do have food aversions and cravings. I am trying to ignore the cravings as much as possible. My boobs do hurt, not sure if they have grown or not but they do feel full. Pants are getting a little snug. This is our first. My husband is super excited.

Im eight weeks today. I am almost in tears over this major headache I am having. It started last night. I am not one to ever have headaches so what gives? My doctor said Tylenol was ok, but only a small relief. Is anyone else having headaches? I need some relief.

The aortic and pulmonary valves are distinctly present in the heart, which has now divided into right and left chambers and gallops at twice your rate (about 150 times a minute). car title loan

8 weeks today! i'm starting to relax more. i called my doctor and get to pick up my zofran today. hoping it helps with the nausea! i've heard it's a wonder drug. i hate food right now and cannot drink plain water. sick. but i have found crystal light pure (no artificial sweeteners) makes it tolerable and rhode's rolls seem to go down pretty easily. besides that i try to munch on fruit. i had an internal u/s at 6 weeks 1 day at the heartbeat was 156! i'm wondering if i'm farther along than i thought. next u/s is sept 30! can't wait to see our little one!

Look's good!

I hit 8 weeks yesterday. This is our first child and we're super excited! We had the US last Thursday and we could hear the heartbeat and see the baby moving! It was so amazing! I can't wait for our next appt. Slight queasy feeling, fatigue and ternder breasts, but other than that, symptoms haven't been too bad.

im 8 weeks 3 days, and we get our first sonogram on the 13th. I want an ultrasound so bad! I have been feeling really scared lately too, which makes me feel guilty. I am excited to be a mom and know that i will love it, but that doesn't shake the jitters.

I am 8 weeks along and scared to death. I have a 9 year old son and I am a newly wed yay! The problem? After my son I told myself no more. He was the best thing ever to happen to me and I figured it just didn't get any better. Well here I am 9 years later with a precious little bun in the oven. Why am I not as excited as I should be??? I am thinking it is starting over that may be getting to me. Oh not to mention I am a full time student (5 classes away from getting my associates degree), I am an interning at an amazing company, I just got finished planning the wedding, and now I am extremely sick (Morning, noon, night sickness), suffering with fatigue and my husband wants to know why I am so moody lol. I just want to enjoy my preganancy! Well, now my boobs are getting sore and I am hitting them on everything some how. My pants are getting a tad bit hard to button, oh and did I mention I am going to be in a wedding in October and she wants me to lose weight?! Someone please pray for me lol.

We just had our first ultrasound yesterday!!! So exciting to see that lil peanut!!!!

I'm in the same boat with the 24/7 sickness! Even with meds, I'm at what I call "Functioning Nauseaus! So sick of saltines and decided to upgrade to Ritz crackers until I get sick of those.

8 weeks on the 31st!!!

I'm 8 weeks pregnant with my 3rd child! I can't believe I'm going to have 3 kids! Crazy! I go to my 2nd OB appointment tomorrow morning, hopefully I'll hear the heartbeat and get a picture! I have a lot of nausea, but no puking yet! I think I'm having another girl.

I am 8 weeks pregnant and have really bad morning sickness too. i went to my ob, and she gave me Zofran. it works like a charm! I can now go to work, exercise, and actually eat the food I need and want to eat. And I get my second ultrasound tomorrow- i am excited!

i will be 8 weeks tuesday 10/25/11 and i cant seem to eat anything i have to force my self to eat because of the morning sickness

I'm around 8 weeks now with our first! I've had morning sickness since about week 6, but it hasn't been bad enough where i'm throwing up. I've got the other typical symptoms as well: sore breasts, tired, lower back being sore, peeing like crazy..lol. I have cramping though that goes back and forth between my left and right side near my pelvis. Has any one been having this issue??

So I was sick this week and hopefully I did everything like I was supposed to. My doctor told me to take Benedryl and Tylenol. Is this alright? Could this hurt my baby? Also, I've been really sick in the mornings, but found keeping saltines at my bedside a HUGE help. My sense of smell has been really sensitive this week, because anything strong in smell completely grosses me out.

8 weeks today :), has anyone recieved a flu shot this year? My job requires that we get one by December 1st and I am just a bit nervous since I am still so early into this pregnancy.

i am 8 weeks pregnant my husband is in the army the day we found out i was pregnant he got deployment orders and this is our first child and he will not be able to come home for the birth im so scared i thought i would post this bc i could really use support

Omg...I wasn't able to function last week until I got my doctor to prescribe me Zofran! It's an amaing anti-nausea pill that won't zonk you like Phenergan, Reglan, or Compazine (I sleep for hours after one of those.) Pricey, but I"m able to function and work and pay for the med. Ask your OB about this one, laides! Now momma's happy--and eating! I'm sure baby's happier about it too! Now to work on the pesky constipation.....

Grats to all the other newly pregnant moms-to-be. I just had my first ultrasound this morning and it confirmed that I am about 8 1/2 weeks pregnant. It was the most incredible moment seeing the baby wiggling around; we could see its little arms and legs, both sides of its brain, and the flutter of its heartbeat. Can't wait until next July!

Hi Panezott, to answer your question, I had that last week and then it turned to bright red so I went to the hospital and they gave me an ultrasound and an exam. If it is brown, it is old blood and most likely just some implantation bleeding. If it turns red and lasts over a day with abdominal cramping, that is when you should really worry. Its completley normal to have a little spotting at this time and the fact that it is brown emans that it is old.
