Author: Lisa [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 11/ 9/06 5:28am Hi there, When I was pregnant, I did feel the ligament stretching, but I do not think I felt that until I was farther along. I do not know how far along you are. Do you have any idea? When is your dr appt, you might want to make one sooner! Telling the family (no matter which family member it is) always seems like the hardest. I can almost guarantee you that they will come around even if they are initially upset. As I stated before, it is normal and expected to be afraid of the unknown. For as much as you are afraid, that is how your family will react initially. Let us know about your dr appt! Lisa

[> [> Subject: Re: im freaking out!! Author: luka [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 11/ 9/06 2:33pm Don't worry too much it's normal. Your babys placenta is busy forming and burrowing into youtr uterine lining which can cause mild period type pains + if you have any brief sharp pains on one or both sides that is indeed ligament pain. I have had this pain before i got a positive pregnancy test so it's not too early to feel those. These days i am still having that pain lol but my uterus is very big now, so you can expect more of that later on in your pregnancy as well.

Author: Melanie [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 11/10/06 1:07am Hi Sabrina, The sooner you tell the people you feel need to know about your pregnancy, the better you will probably feel. That is very stressful for a lot of women early on. Most of the time they take it better than expected. Just decide ahead of time NOT to take the initial reaction personally. Anger and fear are pretty closely connected, so that can come into play, but it doesn't come into play as often as most women imagine. Even if your dad is upset at first, more than likely he will be talking to you by the time the baby is born. Grandchildren are, after all, difficult to resist. :) While there are always exceptions, most of the time parents to not react quite as strongly as most women expect. Either way, the sooner you get it over with, the sooner everyone can start sorting through what happens next and the sooner you can experience the relief of knowing that part is over with. If you need help with any resources, please feel free to contact me and I'll do whatever I can to help. --Melanie P.S. The "cramping" feeling early on is normal for a lot of women.
