Q: Not Sure About Symptoms
asked by: bgoode07 on January 21st, 2006

My boyfriend and I have been having unprotected sex and I just found out that I was pregnant. I've been doing some research regarding my symptoms. I become fatigued, i'm nauseated alot, I have a headache everyday, and just recently my apetite has increased. I was concerned because my breasts haven't become swollen/tender and i've been having cramps in my pelvic region and an odd discharge with some blood. I read that this could be an ectopic pregnancy. Is this unusual for a normal pregnancy?

Could also be implantation bleeding. A lot of these girls talk about it. I never had it, but I did however have a full blown cramping period with one of my pregnancy's. Dont worry about brown blood, or a light spotting of red. Only worry if.... Severe pains and flow of heavy, heavy bright red blood. Then go to dr asap.

Yes cramping in early pregnancy is very common. Your ovaries are working overtime, and it is painful to us when they do. Your uterus is stretching and also the ligaments that hold it are stretching.
