I am so excited to be pregnant with my husband to be! I changed my health to get to this point

Congrats!

Thank you! Very informative and things I didn’t know. Will there be/ is there a video on early pregnancy signs?

[@theobgynmum]

I can definitely do one if you think it would be of interest! Any particular signs I should discuss?

I am 4 weeks and 4 days. I had a full feeiling in my stomacv and cloudnt eat until this morning 😮 i'm afraid that I misscaraged

[@theobgynmum]

Try not to read too much into symptoms and stay positive 😊

[@faithkostka9800]

Are you doing okay?❤

[@Scarlett_84]

@@faithkostka9800 no... miscarriage on it's way.... hcg doesn't double every 2 or 3 days...

How are you doing?

[@unicornflavour]

I'm 5wks pregnant, should I feel symptoms already? I've had a bloated stomach and a few stabby pains every so often but apart from that I feel nothing, I've had 2 miscarriages before so every pregnancy has been different and I don't know what's normal or not anymore.

[@theobgynmum]

It’s so hard because there is no normal! It’s normal to have no symptoms but it’s also normal to have all the symptoms. As long as there’s no bleeding there’s every reason to be positive 🤞🏼

How’s your pregnancy going?

[@quamaramunira2164]

Thank you so much for sharing these information, I’ve just found out I’m 6weeks pregnant and my mind is all over the places. I really dont know what to expect. My symptoms are pain like period cramps and back pain. Is it normal to have mild cramps all the time?

[@theobgynmum]

Congratulations! Yes it can be normal to have cramps but always speak to your doctor if you have bad pain or bleeding

Is it right decision take pregnacare original +omega 3 before your midwife appointments?

[@theobgynmum]

Yes you shouldn’t need to ask the midwife about taking pregnancy vitamins. The main thing you need to take until 12 weeks is folic acid.

@@theobgynmum Thank you so much for responding ❤️

We need folate not folic acid
