I’m 2 days past due for AF but got a – test yesterday morning. Now I’m having cramping that goes from my sides down to my lower belly. That and there’s like a small cramping feeling I get when I pee, and I went to the Dr. and they said it wasn’t a bladder infection or UTI or anything. But I forgot to ask them for a blood test. Also my anxiety level has gone up a bit.

I was just wondering if anyone who is or has been pregnant has had symptoms similar to this, or if anyone might know what it mean.

first i had swollen breast, which i usually get swollen breast before my period but this time it just felt different. about a week later i started to feel nauseated, short of breath(kind of felt like anxiety), one day i had to leave work to change my panties because they were pretty wet of clear low odor discharge(sorry to sound so gross), light light headaches, lower back pain. one time i drank some water that kind of had a metallic taste which i read could be a sign of pregnancy. i was suppose to start my period around the 12th or 13th but did not, on the 15th i had light spotting in the morning, mostly light brown in color and then today on the 16th i wake up again with spotting but it is heavier than yesterday and sometimes it is red just like a regular period. could i be pregnant or could it all be in my head? my boyfriend had me take 2 test on the 11th but both were negative so he kind of thinks i am just exaggerating or even just stressing and it is resulting in my late period.

Pregnancy miscarriage is the traumatic end of a pregnancy. It marks the natural or spontaneous end of a pregnancy at a stage where the embryo or the fetus is not capable of surviving. Most expectant mothers seem to get panicky about this mishap during the course of pregnancy. As per medical experts, miscarriages can take place in the first trimester or the first twelve weeks of pregnancy. The period starting from 12 weeks to 28 weeks of pregnancy are the most risk prone. Therefore, pregnant women must be familiar of the symptoms and the causes of miscarriage and be on the alert all the time.

The development of your baby –
The amniotic fluid which surrounds your growing baby in the uterus to help cushion it and keep it protected from external damage now grows another purpose. The intestines are well developed, developed enough to absorb little amounts of sugar from this amniotic fluid that will be swallowed and passed through the digestive system to the bowel eventually. However most of the baby’s nourishment is still provided by the placenta. Till about his time, your baby’s spleen and liver were producing the blood cells needed by its body but now the spaces in the bone marrow are enough to function likely. Soon, the bone marrow will be largely responsible for producing blood cells in the baby’s body. During the third trimester and post birth, the bone marrow becomes the chief center of blood production. The spleen won’t perform this function by the thirtieth week while the liver will stop producing blood till a few weeks before the child is born.

The development of your body –
You would feel the need to exercise in order to relieve yourself the stress and anxiety you might be experiencing at this point of your pregnancy. But maybe you are thinking if it is safe to exercise or no? Let us tell you how incredible exercising can prove to be to help keep you in shape during pregnancy when your hormones are most turbulent and you know not how they will act. Symptoms like excessive weight gain, varicose veins and aches in your body can be avoided with only the help of exercise. However remember to keep it slow and this is definitely not the time for you to start running a marathon. Ligaments tend to relax and flex during pregnancy hence you have a higher chance to injure yourself. So indulge in exercises that are not very strenuous. These would be yoga, swimming, walking and the like – brisk yet gentle. While you are pregnant it is best to discuss with your medical expert what stage of pregnancy you are in and what kind of exercise to indulge in to help smoothen things out for the best.

I’m having really bad anxiety. Like, really bad; I can’t sleep, I feel fear all over me, I’m tired, and I’ve been having hot flashes. I kept feeling a light feeling in my stomach, kind of like a weird butterfly feeling but I don’t know if it’s anxiety. I was having cramps earlier, too. I lost my virginity 9 days ago. He didn’t use a condom, but he said he was sterile. He also said he didn’t ejaculate in me, but I thought I might have felt him doing that (I was drunk). Anyway, would I be having symptoms this many days after sex? I usually get my period around the 11th. I got really drunk Friday night and had my first hangover on Saturday, so am I dehydrated? Why do I feel so bad? I had been having hot flashes before I got drunk, I think. I have an anxiety disorder already.
We had sex again 4 days ago. Each time we had sex, we did it a couple of times or more.
