I bet you have nothing to worry about! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-trimester-period-symptoms#post-298298 Mon, 17 Sep 2012 11:17:58 +0000 MrsLang 298298@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks ladies!</p> <p>When I actually sit down and think about it, you're right; I've been having leg tension (and all-over-body pains), and cramping for weeks. I might just be associating them these few days with my actual period because I was subconsciously? expecting it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-trimester-period-symptoms#post-298139 Mon, 17 Sep 2012 09:51:35 +0000 MamaMoose 298139@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You have a lot of the same hormones in your system when you're pregnant and when you have your period. So it's not surprising you would have similar symptoms. As long as you don't have any bleeding or sever cramping I'm sure you're fine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-trimester-period-symptoms#post-298136 Mon, 17 Sep 2012 09:50:47 +0000 photojane 298136@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i agree with @ladyfingers. a lot of the early symptoms are very similar to period symptoms. most of us had period-like cramping early on. they go away, no worries! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-trimester-period-symptoms#post-298133 Mon, 17 Sep 2012 09:49:10 +0000 ladyfingers 298133@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think a lot of pregnancy symptoms are the same as period symptoms, so that might be what you're experiencing. I had period-like cramps for the better part of my first trimester! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-trimester-period-symptoms#post-297890 Mon, 17 Sep 2012 05:00:48 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 297890@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Bump </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-trimester-period-symptoms#post-297756 Sun, 16 Sep 2012 21:51:55 +0000 MrsLang 297756@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I feel like I've scoured the internet, but I've really got to ask. </p> <p>I've always been super regular cycle-wise. 25 days on-the-dot, mostly. Yesterday, were I not just about 7 weeks pregnant, would be day 1 of my cycle. And I swear I'm having all of my regular period-symptoms, less any bleeding. Leg tension, cramps, uncharacteristic chocolate cravings, etc. </p> <p>Does this sound familiar for anyone else? On one hand I'm thinking it's a blow-it-off situation. On the other hand I'm an eetsy bit anxious for my first real appt in two weeks. </p> <p>Any anecdotes are helpful! </p>
