Pregnant with Baby #1

I have really bad heartburn and have been told to take Gaviscon but it doesn’t help and it’s painful!! Any idea of what to do to help!!

Hi everyone,

I’ve found out I’m pregnant quite early. Period isn’t due for another few days, but I usually do a test the week before. I was expecting it to be negative, but it’s gotten darker for the past week, and yesterday did a clear blue digital one, that confirmed 1-2 weeks.

Since Monday ish, I’ve had quite bad back pain and stomach pain - I wouldn’t say cramps. Back pain has gone now. But I still have quite bad stomach pain - I just want to know if this is normal or not. It sometimes feels like how it does before you start your period and I’m constantly scared of seeing blood when I go to the toilet. If I stand for too long the pain gets worse, if I sit down it tends to get less painful, or go completely.

I’ve read that this is completely normal and it’s ligaments stretching etc. But I just wanted to hear from people who have been pregnant. I’m not sure if I’m getting too much in my own head and worrying. I’ve also not done much this week so not sure if I’m feeling it more because I’m allowing myself to focus on it?

Is it normal for this stage of pregnancy? Do I have anything to worry about or is this something that passes as I get further in?

We are pregnant, but it's a little earlier then expected. After 11 years of success with my copper IUD it failed this cycle. We were planning to have my IUD removed 8/7 and to start trying but the universe had other plans. Found out this morning 8/5 we are pregnant! 4 weeks to the day. Anyone else had this happen?! I checked my IUD and it's about ready to fall out, so I am crossing my fingers they will easily remove it on Wednesday and everything will progress as normal 🤞🤞

If correct I’m 5 weeks this week, so what pregnancy symptoms did you have at this time? I don’t seem to have any 🤭

Will they suddenly come out of the blue ?

My mood is also the most chilled/ relaxed I’ve been in the whole last 10 years plus 🥰 don’t have no worry’s as I’m normally anxious about life! So it’s a very nice feeling 🥹
