Are These Symptoms Normal At 6 Week's?

A couple of days ago, I found out I was indeed pregnant. I've been getting horrible headaches, haven't been peeing a whole lot though, I'm cramping a little in my tummy & back, and I've been feeling nauseous here & there when I haven't eaten, and I'm feeling weak/tired. I'm so weak and tired, that I have trouble getting the energy to turn over in bed or get up off the couch... I don't know if that's normal. I'm worried I'll lose this one, because I lost my last child at 7 week's last year. I also, have a coffee craving, and an egg aversion as of today. I know you're not supposed to drink a lot of caffeinated drinks, but just like with my last pregnancy, I'm in love with coffee, pretty much.. I'm just worried.

    Hi Kayla1865,

    I am joanne, i am 6 weeks late on cycle i had tests by doctor with two or three wee sample one's, and blood test all shown up negative to me, but waitng on a scan at moment to see if anything is happing in there and not showing on test for some reason. the symtoms your having are same as me.

    I get cramping in tummy when i am hungary i am also tired and have lower back ache also i have caffiene which are energy drinks and full cream milk, but if i knew wheather i was pregnant i would have to stop energy drinks which would be very hard for me. but you can get decaff coffee where caffine is taken out thats what i will drink for next 9 months. but its clearly upto you what you do. I want to wish you congratulations on knowing you have a little one waiting to see the world i will keep my fingers crossed for you, and i hope you do not have a miss carry again and i am hear if you need to talk and will let you know how i get on with my scan. Take care from joanne. x

      I found out recently, that I was a couple of weeks behind where I thought I was. Right now, I would be about 8 week's. Instead, I'm a little over 6 weeks along. I was sent to an ultrasound specialist, and there wasn't a doctor on sight, so they sent the results to my doctor and couldn't answer any questions, at the time. When I got my results the other day, I was told that when the ultrasound was done, the fetal devlopment was at 5 weeks and 5 days, approximately.. They also, said that that the ultrasound tech couldn't measure out a heartbeat, but my mom and my boyfriend both saw the flicker where the heart was beating, so my mom thinks it's OK; maybe I'm just not that far along. I have another ultrasound on the 16th, and by then, I'll be 8 weeks. Hopefully, everything goes well. I'm a bit worried, but my symptoms seem to have gradually gotten worse. The breast tenderness goes on all day, but there are points where it's pretty bad; it's just not an all day thing. Same with the nausea, which is normal. I'm not having any kind of bleeding whatsoever, and my cramps aren't severe. The cramps I have that hurt the most, are the gas ones. So, I don't know what's going on yet. I hope my little nugget is okay... I also, enjoy a bit of caffeine. I'm used to drinking at least, one cup of medium-dark blend coffee with a few sugars & creamers. That's life. smile I was told that as long as you don't overdue it on the caffeine and keep it around 200mg, you should be fine...
