Dumb Question

[SherriLi]

Hi everyone,

 

This may seem like a dumb question, but have any of you felt a pulse in your lower abdomen during the early first trimester?

[southerngirl]

Have you taken a pregnancy test yet?

[SherriLi]

Yes, after i lightly spotted for only two days. Thing is i had other symptoms, but was curious if anyone else has had this one. I've felt this pulse with my other pregnancies.

 

Just curious

 

Thanks,

Well, no i havent but that doesnt mean its impossible.

 

So what did the test say? Are you expecting a new one?

[SherriLi]

It was negative... But i must be in denial or something lol. Because i almost don't believe it.

 

With the pulse, the nausea, the spotting for 2 days.

 

I don't know lol. Probs just in denial.

From what I know, based on a physiology class I took, the pulse you feel could be your ovaries releasing hormones with a combination of that and the releasing of your egg fusing to the walls of your uterus.

 

For some women, we feel that hormonal surge pretty strong, especially around 2 to 1 week before our periods. For others, it's not as strong; but as we age, our hormones change and that's why there are times when we feel it and times when we don't.

Go to the doctor and let them do a blood test.

 

I have a friend and shes got 3 children. Yet in the beginning, she always fails the prego tests and has to have the doc determine it with a blood test even though she knew full well when she was pregnant.

Yep, i felt that with my first one... I was so pregnancy inept, I thought it was the baby kicking already.

 

Thankfully, I am not that blonde anymore... lol

 

Hope you get what you wish for!

Yes that happened to me.

 

I wrote it off to all the extra blood your body produces, but I never asked for sure. If I layed on my stomach you could see my stomach twitching up and down but it just looked like my pulse...but I'm not really sure what exactly was going on.

 

Why haven't you seen your doc yet?

[SherriLi]

well, because of the 2 preggo tests... I took one again and it was negotorie..

 

I just figured, at the time of taking them that they were correct...

 

I've had bad experiences with doctors in the past, and both times i turned out to be preggers, i always confirmed it from home tests.... But then again, the ONLY time i have felt a pulse in my lower abdomen is WHEN i was preggers.. So that's why i figured i'd ask
