First Trimester Questions

From my opinion:

1) I have had three miscarriages, and never had a sore throat as an indicator of a miscarriage. I had heavy bleeding and pain that felt like really intense period pains. See your doctor.

2) Everyone is different, but also every pregnancy is different. My second and third pregnancies, sore boobs were the first symptom I had, even before it was too early to pee on a stick. My first and fourth pregnancies - no sore boobs! How sick I've felt has been different each time too.

3) Again every pregnancy is different. Some people in my forum feel fine, some people just feel sick and some of us are actually being sick many times a day.

4) You will get some pains in your belly as your uterus expands. I call them belly twinges!

5) Medical professionals go from your LMP - day one of your last menstrual period. So if you have regular 28 day cycles, then yes - you probably conceived four weeks ago, if you are six weeks now. But it does depend, as I have strange long cycles, I can't always go by my LMP.

7) It's unlikely that you'll be able to feel baby at 8 weeks. You will get some pains in your belly as your uterus expands. I call them belly twinges!
