I had my first dr. appt yesterday. They
said everything looks normal! I had lots
of b/w and an ultrasound. They baby is
sooooo tiny!!! They said they are still
not able to tell how far along but i have
to go back on the 22 of this month for
another one. They hope at the next appt
they will be able to tell on the u/s how
far i am! It was so exciting and
precious!! How much will the baby grow in
a week and a half though??? B/c thats
about how long it will be by then since
the last u/s. Thanks girls!!

Congrats! I don't know exactly how much
the baby will grow in a week and a half,
but he will still be very tiny lol. Your
uterus will grow though. The average
expected growth will be about one
centimeter a week

Thanks for the reply!! I didnt realize
how much they grew in a week! Today my
dr. put me on bed rest I was spotting a
little and having period like cramps. She
said it was probably nothing to worry
about, just a precautionary thing. She
made me take off work tmw so thats what
made me worry more. Has anyone else had
this??? I had a little bit of cramps
before but didnt have ne spotting.

While any bleeding during pregnancy isn't
"normal" it is common. Many women spot
early on and go on to have a perfectly
healthy pregnancy.
Just take is easy, keep you feet up and
drink plenty of water.
Are you still spotting?

i did a little this morning. But the rest
of the day i was fine...no cramps or
anything. Im worried about going to work
tmw. I think i should be fine, only 5 hrs
tmw. And my dr. appt is on tuesday for
the u/s, im going to see if i can get in
to see the dr. though too.

I am in my 5th week..I dont feel the
symptoms but I eat twice as much as I am
hungry every 4hrs. i was wondering if I
needed to do slight exercise at this time
or just take rest? My doc's appt is only
on the 7th and I am freaked out and
keeping my fingers crossed.

You can do any excercise you did before.
Don't let your heart race, but you can
walk, swim, even jog if you jogged
pre-pregnancy.
Your body only needs an additional 300
calories per day - so watch what you are
eating. Eat small, nutritious snacks.

I agree with ingi! My dr. said you can do
w/e you did before, just not lift as much
weight. They said you dont have to take
it easy till the end of your pregnancy b/c
thats when your body is at its
tiredest(sp) and youll need the extra rest
to prepare. Good luck!!!
