It may be just a urinary trac infection. Has the baby started to kick yet. As long as you have no discharge I wouldn't worry. Soon your little one will be kicking and causing your belly to grow. Being constipated is normal drink alot of water and real juice, walk alot, and eat lots of grain foods. Good luck to you. Write me anytime with questions. Im a mother of a 4 year old and a 2 year old and im due in march with number three.
I have had some rough pregnancies and im having problems with this one to. So lets talk if you want to.

It is quite common to have a kidney infection while pregnant.

Hello by the way... Congratulations.

Having a mother of four ( only three pregnancies) when trying to use the washroom, do not strain, constipation is quite common, eat lots of vegies and grains... Straining does cause hemeroids.

Oh and put vitamin e on your tummy and back of your legs... Hmmm anywhere there is weight gain, it will help in combating stretch marks... Wish I did and knew that!!!!!!!!

You will experience bloating... Expecially in the heat, and this will cause soreness in your toes. Drink plenty of water, and keep cool.
It is hard to remain calm, your homones are all mixed up, and tension is high... Try some relaxing soothing music, and keep the heat in your baths to tempid water. The best thing you can do for your baby is to relax... Nature knows what it is doing, and if you keep yourself healthy, your baby will be too! Enjoy your pregnancy... And your worries are what every women goes through. Your body is tuff, and so is your baby's but the little one can feel your stress... Sooooo take a walk, talk to your baby, rub your tummy, hummm and just enjoy the bonding time. Trust me, once they grow up, you won't ever feel that close again!!!!!!

It is an awesome thing. I am happy for you! Oh, when your baby is born... Tough your baby's face with the side of your finger... It is the softest most wonderful feeling!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! God bless you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
