Waxing & Waning

I realize, being very newly pregnant, that I am thinking way too much about the details. It is still so early. But if there is one thing that has caused me some worry (which prompted me to make a feverish appointment with Dr. Google), it's the waxing and waning of my symptoms.

For example: Two days ago, I had some fairly intense cramping. Nothing I couldn't handle, but definitely noticeable. I remembered this cramping from the first time I was pregnant and it comforted me somewhat to feel it again. But yesterday, I felt practically nothing. Maybe the odd twinge, but it was so minimal.

Yesterday, my breast were quite sensitive and full. I excitedly anticipated the same feeling today, maybe worse, but when I woke up I noticed nothing. I feel like I could punch them and it wouldn't hurt. They still feel larger than usual, but not the least bit sensitive at the moment.

Is it normal for these kinds of pregnancy symptoms to come and go?

Only 7 weeks 5 days to go and I can breathe again.

Completely normal for symptoms to come and go. My boobs were not senstive til about 3 weeks ago. (they hurt a lil but nothing constant) My belly did twinges then nothing for a few days .. then the food adversions kicked in... then they weren't there ..


So to answer your questions .. if you are anything remotely like my symptoms- yes you are normal!

I wish I could give some good advice, but having never been pregnant, I have no idea! From what I've READ, however, it does sound fairly typical. :)
