New to all this... Appreciate Any Advice

[DaisieBee]

Hi, I'm new here and a first time mum. I found out I was pregnant a week ago and am only in my fifth week so still very early days. Think I conceived on my wedding night as only time not careful, but am over the moon. I was just wondering if it is normal to have so many symptoms so early - the week before I found out I was on honeymoon and felt sick constantly but would only have been a few weeks pregnant. I now have backache, sickness, greasy hair??? and am constantly tired. Is this normal so early on? I also have cramping but from reading other posts this is normal...

Yep all sounds perfectly normal It's confusing if you have lots of symptoms and confusing if you don't have any. This is the most frustrating trimester, but you're among friends here. Congratulations and welcome aboard!!

Thanks for the reassurances, i just didnt expect so much so soon. I know I should know these things, but normally when should I expect first scan/doc app? Also, the other night I was up all night with really bad pain - it felt like someone was stabbing me at the top of my stomach. I thought something was seriously wrong but had no other symptoms or bleeding and was fine by the next morning. Has anyone else had this or any ideas on what it could have been? Thank you! Really am a novice and a bit scared...
