Early Pregnancy Symptoms (2-6 weeks) Symptoms and Belly Shot

Hi guys! My name is Rachel. I'm 22 years old and a few weeks ago I found out that I was pregnant. To be exact, I am 6 weeks today based off my pregnancy app but if you are from my main channel then hi guys! The reason why I didn't just blatantly tell you guys the name of my channel or that I was expecting is because I don't want some of my family members to know right now. I'm waiting until the first trimester is over just because miscarriages are most likely to occur early on and so I just want to wait until I pass the first trimester. However, my mom and my boyfriend's mom do know because you know they play a big role and my mom's reaction, she was upset for the first couple of minutes and then after a while she just got over it and now she's really happy and you know she said she'll help out as much as she can. So I'm going to give you guys a little bit of info about me. So I am 22, I'll be 23 when I give birth. I have my Bachelor's Degree in Communication Sciences and Disorders. With the degree that I'm getting I have to go to grad school to even be eligible to work in the type of setting I want to work in and all that stuff and so I have applied to grad school. I still am planning to go. Thankfully I will have someone that will be able to watch the baby while I'm in school so that's really good. Either my boyfriend's mom, my mom or my boyfriend's sister is willing to help out and watch the baby while I go to school so that's really, really exciting because I do not want to take a break from school. And yeah, my boyfriend and I have been together for almost 5 years. His reaction, he was super excited and emotional so it made me a little happy and yeah, so I found out when I was 2 weeks. My initial symptoms were carpal tunnel which is really odd to have when you're not even like later in your pregnancy but I had carpal tunnel, those were my first two symptoms and I couldn't understand why because it was like super intense and my arm was super cramped up and my leg and I didn't get it because I don't type a lot or write a lot to get carpal tunnel so I was just like what? And then I started getting really severe menstrual like cramps. Now before my period does come, I usually do get cramps however these were a little more intense than usual and then whenever I was taking a shower, my nipples were in pain every time the water slapped my nips. It was just like what the heck is going on? So I kind of put two and two together and was like okay, I'm going to get a test so I went to Dollar Tree and picked up two of the tests. I didn't tell anybody that I thought I was pregnant, I just took the test and they all came out positive. Like I said, I was just like wait what? I wasn't shocked or I was numb to everything to be quite honest with you guys. I wasn't excited, I wasn't sad, I was just like okay, like I was pretty much in denial. I ended up telling my boyfriend and he was really excited and I told him you know like let's go to Walgreens and get the digital one because I want to make sure my eyes don't deceive me. I want to make sure that the word comes up like pregnant you know. So we ended up going to Walgreens, getting the test and it came out pregnant and then it said that I was two to three weeks and by my conception date and all the calculations I did with the missed period and first day and the last day, it came up that I was two weeks at the time. So yeah, the third week my symptoms included pretty much the same thing. The only added symptom that I had at this point was headaches, light headaches and then the fourth week it was the same symptoms. Fifth week was a little rough for me. I started to feel queasy, mainly at night time I would feel queasy. During the day I would be completely fine and awesome and then at night time I would just feel like not completely nauseous but not nauseous at the same time. So yeah, queasy and it was just so uncomfortable and also I started to take a lot of naps, a lot of naps. I'm one person that does not take naps usually so it was very unusual for me. I don't like it you guys. I don't like sleeping a lot because it makes me feel lazy and stuff you know like I just sleep. But yeah, I was sleeping two to three times a day taking naps. And so yeah, that was a new one for me. And now six weeks is here. Today is the first day of the six weeks and so far the only symptoms I've had. I mean, I'll probably do a little more in depth six weeks one when I'm a little further down like towards the end because I've heard that this is when morning sickness is most likely to occur. And I've got so much things to slow it down if it is going to happen to me. So I will do a morning sickness remedies video. But yeah, so far six weeks it's the same, a little queasy, I'm spitting a lot. Like every two minutes I have to spit, to be honest I have to spit right now but I'm holding it in. But yeah, I'm always spitting and I feel queasy usually at night time and something else is I have food aversions, everything sounds and smells completely disgusting to me. Foods that I once loved, I can't even mention. For example, chicken wings, love buffalo chicken wings, at least I did. Right now the thought of it makes me want to throw up like oh gosh, everything makes me feel nauseous. I'm actually going to stop talking about it right now because it's making me sick. The only thing that I don't get queasy thinking about is fruits and unfortunately I don't have any fruits with me right now. I mean, I have some of the little packets of peaches and things like that and mandarin oranges. I have to get more because I'm running low but I'm sorry. But yeah, those are the only things that I don't get sick from or think about getting sick from. So yeah, that's pretty much it this week or sorry guys, I was like what do I have to spit again or something? But yeah, so far I've been sleeping a lot and I cannot eat anything. Like the thought of foods make me really sick. I do have prenatal vitamins. I got them from Walgreens. I think they were like $10 but I prefer to go to a doctor and get the ones that I think they recommend or give to you just because I mean, I don't know, I just prefer the ones from the doctor. But as for now, I have got my own and yeah, so that is pretty much it so far. But just to touch a little bit more on the symptom of sleeping, you guys, I mean, it's intense. I mean, I, okay, yesterday I woke up around, yesterday I woke up around 8.30 in the morning. That's when I usually wake up. So I woke up at 8.30 and I took a bath, you know, watching my little TV show and I was tired again. I was just like, oh my gosh, how am I tired again? I literally just woke up. So I fell asleep again and at this point, it was like 9.15, I fell asleep from 9.15 to 1 o'clock. I woke up at 1. I'm like, I'm hungry. So I ate a little something, drink water, fell asleep again from 1 to 5.30. I was up until 11 o'clock, from 5 to 11 and then I slept from 11 last night till 10.30 and even so, the only reason why I woke up is because my boyfriend was calling me and I was still tired but I was like, I have to get up, I have to get up. So I feel good today because I put makeup on a little bit, well, a little bit of makeup and I got myself ready. To be quite honest, I'm super tired. I'm a little bit out of breath and I just want to go back to sleep but I'm trying to keep myself up because I need to get my body used to being up so I could study. Finals is coming so, yes, wish me luck you guys. But, so yeah, those are all the symptoms I've been having. Like I said right now, exactly today, I am 6 weeks, 0 days so I really didn't get to feel the effects of 6 weeks yet but when I'm like 6 weeks, 5 days out, I'll give you guys a more detailed, you know, video on it. I wanted to show you the app that I have. This is called, for any of you who are expecting as well. This is called Ovia Pregnancy, I don't know if you can see it and I absolutely love this app. This is the best app ever to me. It says first trimester, my baby is the size of a blueberry and yes, I love it and it talks about food recommendations and everything like that, pregnancy week to week and it just talks about a lot of good stuff and there's a chat room too for women that are expecting so you don't feel alone and you can talk to them and everything like that. So, yeah, and then I also bought this little journal which I'll show you guys probably in my next video. I bought this little journal so that I could write to the baby. So when he or she is older, like around 13, 14, it could read what I wrote them. So I was thinking of writing a journal specifically for them like, you know, dear baby, da da da, you know, I don't know, I like cute things like that so, yeah, let me show you my belly right now. Of course, I'm not showing. If anything, I'm probably a little bloated. That's something I haven't experienced yet but so far, here is the belly. I mean, I'm a little pudgy but that's because I ate, I just ate a little bit of, sorry, you see my underwear, of McDonald's so that's everything. So, anyways, you guys, yes, I have a lot more videos to do. I want to not only do pregnancy videos and stuff but I want to do like DIYs, you know, baby name type things and all of these cool videos I have to do with pregnancy and blogging and all this cool stuff and little challenges and stuff so, yeah, please subscribe and like this video and leave in the comments down below what do you think about everything.
