Hi everyone. i am just about 9 weeks along with my second child. I'm really concerned though, I am feeling much worse than with my first. I have had many stomachaches, a tremendous amount of headaches (although I did have quite a few of those the first time) and then this past weekend I started spotting. It was mostly a brownish color though. It's mostly when I'm active (which isn't much), but now my stomach kind of hurts. I read the What to expect book and the symptoms I'm describing they say are normal. Has anyone else experienced anything like this? Thanks in advance, I'm really worried. Sue
Spotting?

Had spotting with my last...
Hi Sue. I don't blame you for feeling worried. I had spotting with my third pregnancy when I was 12 weeks along. It actually strted with bleeding on and off for part of a day. I was so worrried my doctor did an ultrasound that same afternoon just to check. It made me feel SO MUCH better when I heard the heartbeat and saw the baby kicking on the screen!
I was instructed not to lift anything heavy and had to cut out exercise for the most part for the whole second trimester! However, that baby is now a six year old little boy in first grade and just made team level in gymnastics (he's still as active as he was back then and trying to keep up with his sisters!
)
Anyway, I just wanted to ease your worry a little bit...I totally understand it. But...I would check with your doctor just to be safe!
