Im suspecting im pregnant, period is late by a week. My tummy feels a bit heavy and crampy, kind of like before periods but not exactly. For those who were pregnant, how did urs feel in the beginning?
My stomach felt like it had its own opinions every single day haha. One minute hungry, next minute nauseous, total drama. Dont worry, it sorts itself out, mostly.
I read into every little twinge and convinced myself something was wrong. Turned out the mild cramping and bloating were just normal early signs. Once I relaxed it all made sense, dont scare yourself like I did.
In my early days I felt this mild pulling and bloating, like before periods but different. I felt a bit of fluttery uneasiness too. Everyone is different though, mine wasnt dramatic at all.
My mother said the slight heaviness is the body making room for the baby. I felt that gentle fullness and occasional gas in the first weeks. As long as its mild its fine, anything sharp do ask your doctor.
I felt heaviness and small cramps in the beginning and kept worrying. Did others feel like mild period pain too? It freaked me out a little until my scan was fine.
Honestly for me it was mostly queasiness and a constantly upset tummy. Eating small frequent meals helped a lot. The bloating was real but it settled after the first trimester.
