Advanced Pregnancy Signs Early On...

Has anyone ever experienced issues or symptoms that usually occur much later in pregnancy…early?

I am not 16 weeks yet - will be next week Inshallah.

I am already experiencing slight swelling in my hands.

This morning I found a bruise on my stomach next to my belly button.

Usually, these things pop up later on, don’t they?

When I found my current obgyn, she didn’t believe me when I told her about the age of my pregnancy. She said I measured much further and she wouldn’t be able to take me if that was the case.

Obviously, it wasn’t and when she ordered my ultrasound, it showed how far along I really was.

Has anyone experienced this yet?

I have an appointment today with my doc but am so restless since I saw the bruise…google is giving me mixed answers. Babycenter seems to have this general consensus that bruising on the belly happens when the baby kicks in the same spot repeatedly…isn’t it a bit soon for that?

No…I had some swelling pretty early and I was feeling kicks around 16 weeks. Every person reacts differently, so don’t be scared.

I saw doc today and she said the bruising is not a cause for alarm. If it was in multiple places, she’d be worried but its not. It could be an old scar, it could be early kicking as well.
