Patient discussion about primigravidae.

Q. What are pregnancy symptoms during the first week? My wife and I started trying to get pregnant 5 days ago. According to ovulation web sites we stated on the best day possible. Yesterday she complained about achy legs and feeling "weird." Also mild cramps. Are there symptoms for pregnancy that occur so quickly?

A. They can come after a week of conception but more likely 2-3 weeks. Here are all the symptoms in one page:

Q. I want to know from anyone who is first time pregnant about the kicks they felt from the baby if so, when? I am in my second trimester. I have not yet felt my baby movements whereas other women have felt the movements. My husband is eagerly waiting for this to happen. My mom too says that this will be a pleasant experience. I want to know from anyone who is first time pregnant about the kicks they felt from the baby if so, when? How was that?

A. I am in my second trimester and last week I felt the baby movement. My baby moves only during night and I have not yet noticed any movement during the day. I have tried more to feel the movement during the day but it didn’t happen. Sometimes I feel heavenly with my baby`s movement. You can wait for some more time, else seek doctor’s opinion.

Q. My wife is pregnant and she is now in the first trimester. Her queasiness is disturbing her a lot. My wife is pregnant and she is now in the first trimester. Her queasiness is disturbing her a lot. She calls it as morning sickness. Almost all the day she feels nauseated whether she vomits or not. But every day she will throw once to have some relief for some time. I worry that this sickness can harm the baby. She does not want to meet the doctor as she says it’s normal with everyone who is pregnant. But I am worried can anyone give some advice?

A. my advice to you is the nausea and vomiting is a common thing that happens in first trimester. but be careful if the nausea and vomiting become more often and worse, by that time you must go to a doctor to find some help and therapy. it is called hyperemesis gravidarum.

so, make sure that what happened to your wife is in normal range, and good luck with her pregnancy! stay healthy always..
