im currently 12 weeks pregnant tomorrow (from what i and my GP have worked out).
i havent seen a midwife as yet and also im still waiting for my appointment to be made for my first scan...
having not spoke to anyone as yet and with this being my first pregnancy, i just wanted some advice/reassurance..
at 7 weeks (the day after i found out i was actually pregnant!) i started spotting. this lastest for about 2 days (very light and only noticable when i wiped, no clotting and not red in colour). i went to the doctors straight away and the doctor bascially told me not too worry about it as its fairly common to spot in early pregnancy (obviously easier said 'not to worry' than done!) anyway, the spotting stopped after about two days which was a relief but ever since about 5 weeks pregnant, i've been having very mild cramping and aches in my lower tummy everyday (at first, before i found at i was pregnant i just thought it was because i was due on).
the cramps sort of come and go all throughout the day and as i said there very mild (almost like period pain cramps but not as intense) not painful assuch, just uncomfortable.
I've read online that aches and pains are fairly common and aslong as there not servre and combined with bleeding then it should be nothing to worry about.... does this sound about right? should i be worried about these mild aches im getting everyday or is it just my body stretching and ajusting?
im feeling so down and low at the moment with all these cramps, morning sickness, bloatedness, trapped wind and tiredness - sure hope this whole pregnancy thing gets easier!?
if anyone could give me any advice or let me know if you are experiencing the same thing, just to put my mind at rest until i finally get chance to speak to my midwife!
thankyou x
