I had waves on nausea even before I tested at 9DPO and then at 5 weeks exactly the nausea started bad!

Help! I'm getting pinching pains in the middle down below my belly button. This is what I get before af. Someone please tell me this is also normal for implantation or early pregnancy! Urgh now I'm super nervous.

I had so many cramps that I thought were AF!! And still get them now (12 and half weeks). It seems the stretching pains get worse each pregnancy. I have also had the back pain and pains down my legs as well as the cramping, which would you believe it... Has been gas!! Never been so fooled and confused by my body. I also felt quite strong pains in my middle left to begin with, perhaps it was implantation. I have no idea. Just relax as much as you can and where possible lie down.

Thank you! That means the world to me, and has helped me calm down. Another friend IRL said she had exactly the pains I am describing, like faint stabbing/pinching in the middle, but not the crampy dull pain of af. That's pretty much what's happening to me, no crampy pain, just pinching and only a few times today. I hope it's stretching or the egg burrowing in deep into the lining. I am super tired, and still tender boobs, nausea, hungry and SO Thirsty. Plus my digital was pos today, and temps up. So I should relax. I am, most of the time. Trying to take it really easy.

I was thinking about my strange and manic dairy cravings, I never had cravings with ds 1 or 2, and I don't think it means I'm having a girl or anything, I think it's the 15 months of LE diet leaving me with such low reserves, my bodies reaction to being pregnant is to load up on fat and protein. I'm not craving salt at all. Going to temp one more day (tomorrow, cd13) then stop. Maybe it's LE making my personality so different, before I would have charted til 9 weeks like Charlee. But I kind of just want to stick my head in the sand and hope like hell it sticks. I can't take seeing a temp drop, in case I freak out, even if its a normal drop.

I have warned dh I may gain considerably more than previous pregnancies because I have starved myself for 15 months and been ttc for almost 18 months. It was all so stressful, and I didn't realise how much so until I got this bfp, especially this morning with the digital, and I felt SO relieved. I just kept thinking "it's over". All the strict eating and thinking about everything that goes in my mouth. I was never above average weight but never thought about food that extensively. If anything it was all about super high nutrients and eating healthy/superfoods. No wonder I had boys! Anyway I'm just so glad that's over. Trying not to go back to boy diet too fast, but my dairy cravings can't be ignored!!! It's like I'm possessed!!!

Meeks I had a lot of pinching too in the early weeks. It is very scary and unnerving and only really eased off around 7-8 weeks. Now I just get the heavy uterus feeling and the odd kick.

I was exactly the same re food and put on a stone (14lb) in the first 6 weeks of pg. I was scared that I would be ruining any sway if the pg didn't work out but I desperately needed the food. I just couldn't get the feeling of satisfaction after eating, but it had to balance with the nausea too. Everything worked out fine though as I'm still a full stone lighter than I was pre-le. I think because I was underweight & not very well nourished, it was my body's way of ensuring a healthy pg. The need to eat eased off around 7-8 weeks again but with it came an increase in nausea and my weight has since stabilised. I'm gaining very slowly and not really wanting to eat between meals.

Like you, the le diet has changed me too and I'm much less likely to rush into things or take the world on at the mo! I'm currently practising good ostrich behaviour and letting dh take charge of a lot more now. I really don't want to go back to my old eating habits but know that I am growing a little baby so it's okay to put on weight. I'm just not finished with swaying and want to balance growing a healthy bub with swaying pink again in 2014/15 if Dh'll agree!!
