Hey ladies i have a few more questions haha.

I just found out im pregnant 4 wks 4 days and i just was wondering, even though i know all women are different, if anyone else went through this:

1- being exhausted but when trying to fall asleep your whole body gets tingly and you want to sleep but you can't. very restless feeling

2- when does the "period" like feeling go away

3- nipples got sore but than stopped hurting

4- for fun haha when did you start to show, around what week

Thanks so much, i appreciate it !!

Many congratulations ... welcome to the fun!

1. Fatigue. Oh yeah! But the itchy tingly thing is a pregnancy specialty. Try a warm (NOT hot) bath before bed to allow your nerves to relax.

2. The 'period' feeling can be for the whole 9 months, but normally subsides a bit at 3 months when the placenta is up and running and making its own wacky hormones. Or you just get used to it

3. Not sure -- some women get no nipple pain, others go through phases. Each pregnancy is very different (even for the same woman with #2)

4. I could tell I had a bump at 12 weeks, my close friends could tell at 18 weeks, but my colleagues didn't notice until 22 weeks!

Once again, welcome to the club xoxox

Like you said every pregnancy is different. With me I am just now (on baby three) experiencing the restless feeling and I don't know why. I have sleeping problems anyhow though so associate it with that and anticipation (Already, I know! ha ha!).
As far as the period like feeling, I would say that should go away in your second trimester. Your nipple problem I think we all suffer from our breasts getting ready for breast feeding (even if that isn't your plan).
And I am starting to show now but I am unsure how far along I am. I go to the doc today in about an hour! Yay! lol

1. no
2. didn't have it
3. off and on the entire pregnancy, although nipples didnt hurt at 4 weeks. Didnt start hurting until about halfway through
4. i was obviously pregnant around 24 weeks

1. Exhaustion is def normal! You can't even describe a pregnancy tired. It's not the same as a normal tired! Sometimes I think it's to prepare you for the limited sleep you'll get when the baby is born!
2. Sometimes people can get period feelings around the time when their period would've been due throughout the whole pregnancy.
3. Soon your whole boobs will be hurting!
4. Both times I felt I was showing about 6 mths but everyone seems to be noticing now that I am 7 mths! My babies like hiding but everyone is different.

Good luck. Enjoy the next 9 months - it's the most amazing time of your life!

1. Im still exhausted, and Im 15 weeks.
2. The cramps will go away for a while, probably more around 7 weeks, but will come back in a different way around 13 weeks or so, since your baby will be going through a growth spurt.
3. Breasts and Nipples tenderness, as with most symptoms will be off and on the whole time.
4. I have started noticing an actual little bump around 13 weeks. before that and even then its mostly bloating. But around 20 weeks is when your supposed to really see it.

Congrats! and Good Luck!

congratulations on ure pregnancy!
1) i have also been very very tired and having restless nights i think this is ure bodies way of preparing u for having a baby
2) in a week or so the period type pains will reduce but u will still get cramping and strecthing pains due to ure uterus growing
3) had the same thing they hurt for a couple days then were ok then recently have been quite itchy, i think this may be because ure boobs are growing
4) i havent started to show yet but i can not wait until i do then itll make it seem so much more real
