Question

5 weeks pregnant

I just found out today that I'm pregnant. The only thing that is worrying me is that I feel like I'm about to bleed(period). Since its Friday, I had to book my doctors appointment on Monday. But for now, is this normal? Has anyone been through this?

Yep it's normal! I felt that way most of the time, only really recently (6.5 weeks) have I stopped feeling like I will bleed at any second (although I have lots of watery CM going on which can fool me sometimes) :) Congrats!

Not sure why, I think it's just part of the process of the cervix closing up and forming a mucus plug! I also have had AF-like cramps since implantation, the uterus has to grow to double its size in the first month so there's a lot going on down there already for us :)

You'll feel like you have the worlds worst case of PMS for the majority of the 1st trimester. It is just the progesterone & totally normal. Around 10 wks, the placenta takes over hormone production, so you may see a reduction in symptoms around that time. Gl & congrats!
