Hi,

I had lots of mild cramping and backaches from 4-6 1/2 weeks. Morning sickness showed up a 6 weeks 5 days for me. Not everyone gets morning sickness - so don't worry if it doesn't show. (although I am happy mine did, as I needed to 'feel' pregnant) Good luck and congratulations! That is a long wait until July 21 :-)

Thank you! That makes me feel a lot less anxious. I have had the on/off mild cramping since I first got my BFP. Today I have been feeling a little back achy, but I was concerned that I wasn't feeling more "sick" yet. Give it time I guess. I should feel lucky if I don't end up really sick, but like you I think it would just help me feel more pregnant! Yes, the wait is going to kill me. I am just so ready to see that little bean on the screen and know everything is ok!

Congrats! With all four of mine, I felt crampy from 3-6wks (of course before AF was due I assumed they could've been PMS cramps). My morning sickness/nausea kicked in around the 6wk mark give or take a day or two.

I first felt my symptoms from 5 weeks.

Gas & tiredness - 5 weeks
Food aversions - 6 weeks
Sickness - 7 weeks

I have also had cramping but this is normal especially in your first baby as your uterus and ligaments are stretching to prepare for a growing baby I also had a bit of spotting at 8 weeks but again that was to do with the cervix changing.

I also had a bit of back ache

Thanks ladies :))
