    Hi Ladies,

    I am 5 weeks pregnant. Till day before yesterday i did not feel a thing. Since yesterday i am dead tired. I couldn't concentrate on anything yesterday I was a wreck also i had some slight pain in the lower ab which lasts for like a second or so. And if i get up and start walking i am fine.

    Also, yesterday i was on an emotional roller coaster. I couldnt find my fav comforter and i started crying.. Like literally, i was crying my eyes out.

    Today i am so bloated i look like i am already 6 months pregnant.

    Is this common? Ladies, help me before i go nuts..:spin

    Thanks!!!

    DS

    I suggest that you should go get a book on pregnancy (or several) and read it/them.

    Hey Dear DDDDDDDDD...
    congrats! congrats!
    Trust me, You'll get better in some weeks. Initially I too had horrible morning sickness. I had nausea, never felt like eating, whatever I ate was tasteless for me. Felt terribly low, whined for almost every single thing, tempers flared up. So its all normal. Things would start settling in 1 or 2 months. Eat nicely, even if you don't feel like, eat in small quantities. Take care!

    Thanks Neetu!!! Thanks for telling me everything is normal.. I read everything is normal but it feels good to hear from real people rather than reading in some books that everything is normal.. :)

    Congratulations! I'd suggest you "What to Expect When Expecting" book, a great resource, helped me during my pregnancy. What you are feeling is normal, a way for your body to let you know that you got a bun in the oven. Enjoy the moments! Drink lot of water, eat whatever you like (and make sure to take your prenatal, I couldn't take the regular ones, I took gummy prenatals).
