Hello,
I am new to this forum and new to the world of pregnancy! this is our first child and we are super excited..i have been reading the blogs and all... I didn't get morning sickness symptoms or craving or dizziness, nor do i feel hungry so much..Though i eat small amounts of food/fruits at regular intervals, but do feel thirsty alot. Is that something normal!!! I am completely new to motherhood, so would appreciate some guidance

Thank you,
Subuhi

Hey There,
I need some advice regarding pregnancy!!! I saw my OBGN and she did some hormones test.. The pregnancy hormone is fine but the progesterone is lil low she advised that we do a retest after 48hrs and see if it will be better or its declining ( I am really worried, pls advice !
I had irregular periods past a year and half. I have thyroid (hypo) condition and i thought it might have caused the irregularities. Been on thyroid medication and everything (thyroid) is normal but the periods have been irregular...some times i have 35 days cycle , sometimes 38,40 .., so on an avg my cycle is 35days. I also skipped a month this year in April...My last period was on May 19th and on July 3rd, i found out that i was pregnant... i am so excited as this is our 1st child on contrary i am scared as the hormone test is not good... The doc said i am 5 week pregnant as per the ultrasound and she says there no development as if now!!! as my period have been all over i don know which week am i actually in I am so anxious and worried... i really dont know what to do and how to get my hormones level up , so that my baby is safe and healthy!

Hello Subuhi,
First of all congradulations on your pregnancy! I am pregnant as well with my first child and I understand how exciting it is and how confusing it is as well. It is perfectly normal not to feel a lot of syptoms and then again it is normal to feel a lot of syptoms at the same time. Every woman is different and some are lucky enough to not get the morning sickness or then odd cravings. Also, even if you do not experience weird watermelon cravings in the middle of the night or feel faint at random, that does not mean you will not experience these later on. Either way, do not worry. As for the extra fluids this is very normal and in fact healthy. It is essential that you drink plenty of water throughout the day. It not only keeps away the annoying fainting and nausea but also carries vital nutrients to your baby.

I hope I was able to help a little and good luck!

Sincerly,
Lacy
