When does the 2nd trimester start?
Pregnancy actually begins two weeks before you conceive (when the egg fertilizes the sperm). You generally find out you are pregnant two weeks after you conceive, by this time you would be four weeks pregnant techinally alhthoug a lot of people may consider themselves to be only two weeks pregnant. The first trimester begins at the techinal week 1, before you are actually "pregnant" and have conceived. Weeks 1-12 are the weeks of your first trimester.
Is mild cramping normal in the first trimester of pregnancy?
Yes, for some women it can be.
I talked to a GYN nurse this morning and asked that same question. She said, yes, it is possible and not uncommon.
I spoke to my doctor regarding my initial question about cramping. I told him that I was still experiencing this minor cramping and he took me off work calling it a threatened miscarriage spell at this time. I would suggest noting where the cramps are felt,when,and for how long as in days. This will be a good indication for your docotor to decide what is best for you. In my case I am now taking progestrine suppositories to calm my uterus down. I am also off work for 6 weeks. I did also find out that I was pregnant with twins and one is not developing. In my opinion I believe that is the source for my cramping.
Yes, your uterus is expanding and stretching to make room for baby. I had horrible cramps with my pregnancy... but still i would seek a doctors opinion if you are pregnant and having bad cramps to be on the safe side.
Are backache and cramping normal in the first trimester?

Can you suck in your stomach if you're pregnant?
Yea, for the first couple of months you can. But what is the point of that, you're not even showing at this time.
When you do start to show, sorry, there's no sucking in to hide that sucker. You should be proud of your pregnant belly. If you're worried that other folks will think you're just fat, if you wear the right maternity clothes, it will be obvious that that's a pregnant belly you're carrying around. Wearing the right clothing, that fits you well, will improve your self-confidence and make you feel better about the weight.
You can definitely try to, but once the baby starts showing, usually around the 4th-5th month, it won't make much of a difference. You'll be able to feel the muscles clench and everything, but your stomach won't suck in much at all.
No, the baby is in the way. A pregnant stomach is hard.
a trimester is 3 months of your pregnancy. there are 3 trimesters in a pregnancy. 1-3 months, 4-6 months, and 7-9 months.
When should you go for your first pregnancy doctors visit?
You should definitely go if your waters break. You should always go if you are worried at all. Otherwise, wait until your labor contractions are 5 minutes apart (form the beginning of one until the beginning of the next. The best thing to do is listen to your body, not your Mom, not your man, it's your body and only you can know how you feel.
What is the best sleep position?
It is best to lay on your left side, allowing increased blood-flow and nutrients to go to the placenta. Laying on your right side puts pressure on the Inferior Vena Cava. The major blood vein that carries De-oxygenated blood that eventually passes through the liver and the uterus. Do not sleep on your back if you can help it, since laying on your back while pregnant since the uterus will put pressure on the spine, back muscles, and major blood veins and intestines, which will reduce circulation for you, and the baby. It will most likely help, when laying on your left side, to prop a pillow under your belly to reduce the uncomfortable tugging sensation from the weight of the baby.
When will your stomach start to get hard when you are pregnant?
You will first be able to feel your uterus at around 15-16 weeks. Depending on your size now .. if you are thin or a little under weight it will take around 2 months. If you are average or a little over weight 3-4 months.

Do you feel dizzy at 2 weeks pregnant?
Of course it is normal. Your body is changing everyday. I have two children and I could hardly get out of bed with my first child and go to work for 8 hours! With my 2nd I slept all day long, everyday! He is now 28 months old and very healthy...besides the terrible 2's! Being sleepy is normal, and if you can, SLEEP!
It is normal. But if you are worried, check with your doctor. Everyone is different and every pregnancy can be different. If I were you, I'd check with my doctor just to make myself feel better. you!

If your a minor and your having a baby are you automaticaly emancipated after birth?
other than all that we can get to answering this for you. sweet heart if you want emancipated you have to have valuable reason to do so. you also have to prove that you can support yourself, and your baby. It will indeed be hard to raise a child especially with no help, but if you want whats best for the child know its not impossible. I would also love to add that the whole teenage mother thing is where we get all of our bad people in the world is an absolute false statement. You have to teach what's right is right, and what's wrong is wrong. I happened to have had a teenage mother and not at all the most perfect of lives, and I'm quite positive i don't fall into any of those category's. it's not always necessarily how your brought up, but more or less how your formed, and how you are made that makes you act the way you do. anyways the main question is answered you have to continue on the emancipation and have reason. instead of asking everyone for questions on something like this look it up!!!

I have been told that it is natural vaginal secretions that a woman normally has but it is more plentiful during pregnancy because of the excessive blood flow to the uteral and vaginal areas. It's normal unless it is foul smelling or is accompanied by itching or burning. If any of those symptoms are present then you may want to check for stds.
