What should I expect?

[NewMom1225]

I'm 34 and just found out Thursday that we are pregnant! I am very surprised by the "cramping" (not really sure how else to call it) I'm experiencing. I don't know what else to expect physically, but my hormones are already all over the place. I feel like I'm not ready for this!

Hi how is everyone doing?? I'm 30 years old and this is my 4th pregnancy with only one living. I'm excited and nervous. I was having cramping earlier when I first found out but so far it's subsided. The headaches come on for days at a time and I'm like Wow! I don't remember this.. lol Hope everyone is doing fine and enjoying this now adventure :)

It is nice to see that a bunch of us over 3o's are having September babies! I am 33
Cramping can be normal, depends on the person. I see your post was over 2wks ago, how are you doing now?

Hi and congratulations!! I'm 33, this is my 2nd, my son will be 2 next month. Cramping is usual. I have had it this time but didn't have it last time....every pregnancy is different!! Pregnancy is very hard but worth it in the end!!

It different for all of us. I have had stomach queasiness since Thursday evening, and vomited only Thursday evening. I have been fatigued for the last three weeks and have had sensitivity to smell since Friday morning,  which was when it clicked that I was pregnant. Headaches come and go. With my last I was so sensitive to  smell that nothing stayed down.  It can be a roller coaster. Congratulations on your pregnancy but it is so worth it.

I had strong pulling cramping very early on with my first and some twinges with this one. The first few months after having a baby a hard but it just gets better and better every day and I can't wait to have another.

Congrats!  I'll be 34 next month but it'll be my second, I have a 20 month old. I've never had cramping but I'm already super tired and my boobs hurt. ..we're all in for a good time.  Here's to an easy and healthy pregnancy for all!
