just found out pregnat

I just found that I am pregnant last Friday. I ordered a bunch of books but in the meantime, if anyone can answer these questions, it would be greatly appreciated.

1) my stomach feels cramp like not pain when sleeping on my side at night, is this normal?

2) Is it normal to feel great one day and awful the next?

3) Is it safe to keep doing my normal exercise routine- running, yoga, bootcamp classes.

4) Is it normal to feel like there are little rubberbands stretching in my stomach?

5) Before I knew I was pregnant, I had ate some chocolate and drank one cup of coffee like every other day, did this harm the baby?

Thanks!

Congratulations!!!

Most think the moment the get pregnant they stop getting cramps. Not true. You cramp frequently. Your uterus by the end has stretched 500 times bigger than before pregnancy.

I would ask a doctor about heavy exercise. However if it's part of a routine until your sure easy up some.

Yes it's normal to feel stretching. Usually it's the round ligaments.

You are fine. Coffee is okay just limit your intake.

You will probably have lots of bloating and cramping. The cramping is just ur body making room for the baby stretching things out. If you see blood of any kind call the Dr or go to er just to make sure everything is OK.

Cramping is totally normal unless it becomes unbearable. Caffeine up to 200mg a day is fine per most Dr's. Exercise is fine not sure about the boot camp thing. You will have good and bad days until you have ur baby.
