Well, i'm 8 weeks pregnant and every once in awhile I get little cramps around my pelvic area where you get regular cramps for periods, and I am very constipated- bowel's like once every 4-5 days!!! My stomach cramps up because I can never go! And i'm scared it'll hurt the baby..Like once a week I get a headache too, and I hate to be like this but my husband well, I dont feel like being all kisses touchy. Is that normal? I hate bein away from him, but he gets on my nerves!!!!!!!!!!!! And he doesnt even do anything wrong! Can I do something to change that? I'm only 19, and I use to smoke...It's been a/b 2 weeks since I quit. And i'm scared that when I didnt know I was preggo that all the smokin I did do will it have hurt the baby already?.

What you're feeling is completely normal.
&.Don't worry about the baby.
Your uterus is still way down in your pelvic cavity,
so the baby won't feel a thing.
&.I'm 11wks preggo, &.I definitely don't want my boyfriend
to even lay one finger on me, lol.

I'm 19 also :)

I would get horribly constipated too. What finally worked for me was making a milkshake every morning with 2% milk, .Carnation .Instant .Breakfast, a banana, and some of that powdered fiber stuff. If you can stomach a milkshake right now, that's what I would suggest. The .C.I.B has lots of vitamins, plus you won't be bothered by the fiber powder. Very healthy stuff, and oh so chocolatey! Helped regulate me within a day or two.

And don't worry about anything you did before you found out you were pregnant. The only thing you can control right now is *today*. You stopped smoking early in your pregnancy, so your baby is most likely perfectly fine. Take care of yourself and that precious little one inside. Oh, and maybe your husband too... When you feel like being close to him again. ;)

im almost 18 weeks and I cant stand my husband either!! He drives me insane just asking if I need anything. Lol. I never want to be around him but I grit my teeth and bare with it to spare his feelings lol. But the touching and kissing thing, I told him straight up cause it made me feel uncomfortable. My doc said its all horemones lol. Naybe I wil return to normal after the baby is born.

I quit smoking when I found out I was pregnant, which was at 5 weeks, so I was a bit worried that my previous smoking could harm my baby. I asked my doctor and he said that it should be fine...You quit! That is the important thing! As for the feeling of unattraction towards your husband...That's completely normal in the first trimester..Usually you aren't feeling too hot and the thought of someone squeezing your boob is repulsive. You'll get your sex drive back in the second trimester because of the increased blood flow. It will be copecetic.
