We are newly into our sub and obviously I have a million emotions a day along with symptoms. To me, having a symptom helps me connect with this new pregnancy but I know it's harder for the partner who isn't experiencing this pregnancy. I'm sure it also doesn't feel real until the first scan.

So how did you feel prior to the first scan? How did you connect to this new pregnancy?

Lost my son late last year and after a lot of self healing, his due date passed. The following month I conceived my rainbow baby. I could cry writing this and just wanted to share with the reddit community as I prep to tell my family next week. Please send positive vibes and all the wishful thinking you can!

Morning,

I'm five weeks today. The past two days I had a light backache and uncomfortable twinges in my stomach (not like cramps but just uncomfortable pressure). This morning I wiped and my discharge had a little pink to it. I had bleeding in my last pregnancy when I was 3/4 weeks but idk if this is normal for 5 weeks. Has anyone else had this happen in a healthy pregnancy?

Update light pink spotting/mixed with mucus only happened that morning and that afternoon. After contacting my doctor I think I'm just one of those women that just spots when they're pregnant. I'll be taking a break from the gym and exerting myself so my body can focus on growing this baby. Thanks for all the input!

I'm struggling to excert myself. I'm still active, still getting my steps in, still going to the gym and strength training, still running. But this first trimester my symptoms came on so much earlier. I'm trying to prioritize sleep and rest over exercise but boy am I missing my hard workouts and serotonin boosts.

I've been nauseous for about 2 weeks now and it's insane that it's also been that long since I found out. Last night I was having back pain and pressure in my rear alongside some weird belly twinges. This is the earliest I've known I was pregnant so I'm so neurotic about tracking all the symptoms. How are my 5 weeks moms doing? Yesterday I got to schedule my first two ultrasounds, ahh so excited!!
