Question 1

what are early pregnancy symptoms?

Accepted Answer

Sometimes none!: The classic symptoms are lack of periods, nausea, vomiting, generalized malaise, and breast tenderness. If you think you may be pregnant, especially if a store-bought pregnancy test is positive, please see an OB doctor, who can tell you for sure.

Question 2

what should i eat in early pregnancy?

Accepted Answer

Healthy natural food: Normal, healthy women do not have to alter their foods and drinks while they are pregnant, as long as their diet is a balanced, healthy, natural diet that doesn't contain items that aren't good for a developing baby (such as fish with higher mercury levels, etc...). Prenatal vitamins can be taken, as recommended by her Ob-Gyn doctor. One should avoid undercooked or raw foods, avoid alcohol, etc...

Question 3

what are the symptoms of early pregnancy?

Accepted Answer

Some small changes: A woman of childbearing age with some nausea (with or without vomiting), some fatigue (feels less energetic), a sharper or stronger sense of smell, mild soreness or swelling of her breasts, and maybe some food aversions and cravings... could be pregnant. Symptoms can start just before missing a period. She can do a urine preg. test 1 week after missing her period, to see if she will have a baby.

Question 4

in early pregnancy what is your temperature suppose to be?

Accepted Answer

Little if any change: Body temperature is not monitored in early pregnancy unless infection is suspected. There is a fairly wide range for "normal". Some pregnant patients may notice a slight increase over baseline, but it is not clinically significant.

Question 5

is vasoprin safe in early pregnancy?

Accepted Answer

Aspirin: Some doctors prescribe low dose Aspirin (such as Vasoprin) for a variety of medical conditions during pregnancy. You will need to check with your doctor to see if this is an appropriate medication for you.

Question 6

do early pregnancy tests work?

Accepted Answer

Yes they do: Urine pregnancy tests are not quite as sensative as the blood test is but after a certain gestational age accurate as well.

Question 7

are cramps in early pregnancy normal?

Accepted Answer

Yes: As the uterus enlarges, cramping in early pregnancy is frequently due to spasm of ligaments which are attached to top of the uterus. It may occur when walking, getting up from sitting, and can be especially bad with sudden movement. The cramping from round ligaments is not associated with bleeding or pain that is severe and constant. As with any concerns, the patient should see her obstetrician.

Question 8

is discharge an early pregnancy sign?

Accepted Answer

Through thick & thin: The thinning of the cervical mucous occurs prior to ovulation in mid cycle. Overt pregnancy causes a thickening of the cervical mucous forming a "plug" to prevent the access of bacteria to the cervical opening and the pregnancy. Regardless of texture the cervical mucous "stays with you always".

Question 9

is d-mannose safe for early pregnancy?

Accepted Answer

It's unclear: To be honest there really isn't any significant evidence one way or the other.  If you really want to be safe avoid it.  Remember, especially with pregnancy, try to avoid taking anything you don't absolutely have to.

Question 10

is gagging an early pregnancy symptom?

Accepted Answer

Not typically: A good sign of early pregnancy is a positive pregnancy test.  Have you had a positive test?  Nausea is a common sign of early pregnancy, but typically doesn't start until about 5 1/2 to 6 weeks.  Hope that helps.
