11 weeks and started spotting

Hello, I am 11 wks and I have started spotting I just wanted to know if its normal and there is very little pain but I am also constipated, no it's not because I am having sex with my husband. I am in Egypt and he is in America at this moment, so I need some advice on the situation. This is my second pregnancy, thanks.

Early nerves

Congratulations ladies!!

I was really encouraged reading all the blogs. Me and my husband have just found out we are expecting after a year of trying, I'm about 5 weeks pregnant. I've not been sick though I've felt a bit nauseous on a few occasions. I am feeling really worried though. I keep reading about miscarriage and its all I can think about. Combined with that we have decided not to tell anyone until the end of the first trimester so i feel i can't talk to anyone about it.

Worst thing is the aches, my lower back keeps aching bit like period pain, and I've got butterflies in my tummy which I think is wind but it just worries me so much. Anybody else getting these aches/cramps?

14th time lucky

I am pregnant for the 14th time. It wasn't planned as I have 2. Periods have been irregular for 3 years so I didn't really worry. I am just 5wks gone and I am so scared cos of 11 early miscarriages. Every twinge I worry.

I try not to get excited my husband is over the moon he wanted more but I am just to scared to enjoy this. I feel really worried and I can't eat because of it. I think I am still in shock and don't want to think about it but every time. I get that mild cramping pain it is a nightmare as anyone who knows what it is like to have a miscarriage. I am 31 years old my youngest has started nursery and my oldest is P4. I do hope that everything goes alright and good luck to every pregnant woman out there.

Love Child

My name is Jennifer, my boyfriend and I were trying to conceive for over 6 months but with no success so I decided not to try anymore I was tired of tracking my cycles, waiting until O'd and temping so I stopped and all of a sudden when I finally stopped trying it happened. I am 5 weeks and 4 days pregnant. My boyfriend is over the moon but I was taken back just a bit. But over all I am happy this is his first child.

5 weeks and cramping!

I feel so much better having read a couple of the stories... my husband and I have been trying for 10 years!! We were getting to the point where we were going to try IVF and found out this weekend that I was pregnant.

I have to say I'm petrified! not of having a baby - but of the potential to miscarry. I have 'feelings' in my belly and have had since I was due for my period, but they are not as strong or painful as a period pain - just 'unusual'. I have to say I'll feel a lot better when they've gone :)

I've read a few stories where women have said that they have had slight cramping for the first weeks - so hopefully that's all it is.

This is wild!
