I am having lower back pain and have been feeling sick all the time. I also have some pain in my vaginal area at times, as well as light nose bleeds. I also feel like there are air bubles in my uterus sometimes. I feel VERY tired ALL the time. If I sit down in a chair or am sitting in class, I will just fall right asleep. I am always craving water or chocolete milk. I talked to a prenatal RN and she said everything is perfect with me and the baby. She said that she is supprised thatIi have not been having headaches yet. I go back for a phisical tomorrow. And LEIGH, I am having excess ear wax in my ears too.

I haven't had a period for 7 weeks. My lower back has been aching for 2 weeks, I'm getting headaches, and it hurts to wear my jeans, and when my boyfriend leans on my stomach watching tv, it hurts too. I've been getting extra saliva in my mouth; like all of a sudden I'll be like having to gulp ten times! I feel nauseous when I wake up but not to the point of being sick, just feeling sicky. I need the toilet often, even if i haven't drunk anything for a while. I had a bit of blood when I wiped a couple of weeks ago and didn't think anything of it until I just read about implantation bleeding. It was like a pinkness on the tissue, and that was it. I don't want to take a test yet cause I had a miscarriage two years ago and since then every time i've thought I was pregnant it turns out not to be, and the disappointment is heartbreaking. I don't know if I should take a test now or if I should wait for a few more weeks.

hey every body...my strange symptom is that i go through a lot of pain in my abdomen,swelling of my stomach and vomit blood. frequently i know that the cause of this is that my husband can sometimes be abusive. i am now 8 months pregnant and still can not tell anyone that my husband is abusive. my one prayer is that i do not have a miscarriage.........

hi just some advice here. Im 18 weeks and very much in touch with my body and studied every day about my baby growing inside of me.To rebecca, firstly the real headaches only come at very much later stages in the pregnancy. and secondly the pains and aches also only come after atleast the 2nd month, when your uterus is expanding to fit the baby. the real signs are backache and breast tenderness that doesn't fade after 3 weeks. I think its way to early for you to even be thinking about it unless you skipped your pill and you know something that we don't. To jennifer: I have not had one day of morning sickness, yet I have my off days where i just feel nauseous and it's usually when i haven't had breakfast or rested enough, tomorrow you'll feel back to normal. And maybe in a week you'll get sick for two days. It's not morning sickness, it's your body going through stages, and you can't expect to be perfect all the time. You have your days just like any normal person, even those that aren't pregnant. Eat well, rest more than ever, take your vitamins, keep smiling AND MORE IMPORTANTLY LISTEN TO YOUR BODY. If everybody did this we would all be pretty healthy people. Goodluck!!

I am not able to drink water, why i don't know. And the next thing is that after vomiting, my eyes turn red like tomotoes. When I go outside for a walk, I don't feel well. I feel nauseaous and dizzy as well.

I have lower back pain and lower abdominal pain, is it to early to expierence this..? I also have pains in my upper thighs every now and again. I was prego once before but that resulted in a misscarriage, but i know i didn't feel these same pains. Just worried about them.
