Well I’ve only known for 48 hours that I am pregnant and I have already had to call the dr’s exchange number. Last night before bed I had some mild cramping but nothing major. This morning I woke up at 4:30 with symptoms of a pretty intense bladder infection. Everytime I would wipe, the spotting kept getting pinker and pinker. So I finally broke down and called. They called right back and it wasn’t my doctor but another one from the office. He was super nice and said that because I was so early in my pregnancy, he understood why I called. He said the cramping is normal and it was probably from the uterus. He prescribed me an antibiotic for the bladder problem and he said not to be alarmed with the spotting. It could be from the bladder or just gravity doing its thing. Thank god. Im really trying not to think of the things that could happen and Im trying to be very positive, but this morning started to make me worry. I have also noticed that I don’t have any nausea until I eat. I know I have to eat so I am trying to eat very small meals instead of a lot at once. At least Im still feeling something. Im so scared that I will go back on Friday and my numbers will not be there. I want to take a test everyday to make sure that it still says Im pregnant. Im crazy…………………
*****UPDATE********
I haven’t had much relief of these symptoms that I feel are a bladdar infection. Now I am starting to wonder if it is something else. Has anyone felt pain or twinges because thier cervix is changing. I wonder if that is the pain I am feeling. I don’t know. Its not a constant pain but twinges in my private area. I think if I don’t have some relief by morning then I will call back. I just don’t want anything to happen. I know Im being obsessive. Some people have also asked about my due date and it is November 12th. Right in time for Thanksgiving and Christmas..Yeah

I spotted my entire first trimester so no worries! My dr. said that every woman bleeds when they’re pg, but only some actually ever see the blood/brown spotting. Keep me posted. I know there’s a lot of info out there about beta numbers online. I can’t find a link I had bookmarked. Ask your dr. what they want the numbers to be on Friday so you know what they’re looking for.

Hope your feeling better and the spotting has stopped. Having a bladder infection can make you spot. Keep us updated, I am praying for a uneventful PG. You deserve it.

Congratulations! I had cramping too, which really freaked me out, but is apparently pretty normal. My cramping has subsided at week 6. What kind of progesterone are you using? With my Endometrin, I’ve read that it can cause bladder infections.
