I have felt "pretty good" considering what I keep hearing. I have felt sick but haven't actually vomited. I do have excess salivation though... that's gross. My belly is already turning into a pot belly and I wonder if that is too early to have such a big belly. I am 11.5 weeks right now.

I'm 36 weeks pregnant and getting really painful kind of cramps that go through my lower back into my stomach. They do have somewhat of a pattern, but then it stops for a few hours or till the next day. I know they can't be braxton hicks because they shouldn't hurt, but am I really having contractions this early and am worried that they will continue till 40 weeks. I've heard that this has happened to some people. I'm also somewhat discouraged that most people can't tell I'm pregnant; they just think I have a chunky belly. I measure like 43" around and my being 5'11 kind of hides the big belly I guess. It's just annoying when people find out I'm pregnant and they say "Oh, you look about 5 or 6 months, if that!" and I have to correct them and tell them I'm in the last month now. :(

Don't know if I'm prego yet but I've missed my period, sleeping most of the day, occasional pins and needles in breasts. I had all pms signs until it was time for my period to start, then everything stopped. Extremely emotional. Cramps in lower to mid tummy. Weirdest thing--my 2 year old keeps pointing to my belly and saying 'hey baby' and I haven't said a thing about being prego.

This is my first pregnancy, and I am in the first week of the fourth month and I have got a small tummy, and every day I have a new bump in and around my lip. Even after three months, I am still not feeling very good, and I still have nausea sometimes.

Hannah, I suggest you take take test as soon as possible! If you are pregnant which, from what you tell me, I believe is the case, it will show an accurate positive. Start taking folic acid, and start looking after your nutritional needs a.s.a.p.
