Share some first trimester abortion stories.

Guilt is common. Many women feel like they are doing something wrong even if they have valid reasons for the abortion. Fear is also there, especially about the physical pain and potential complications during the procedure.

Well, one funny story is that I had the weirdest cravings. I suddenly wanted to eat pickles with ice cream. It was so strange but I just had to have it. Another time, I fell asleep in the most awkward position on the couch and when I woke up, my hair was all over the place and I looked like a crazy person.

I had a first - trimester miscarriage last year. It was a very difficult time. One day, I started having some spotting and then it turned into heavy bleeding. I rushed to the hospital, but unfortunately, the baby's heartbeat had already stopped. It was a shock and I felt a deep sense of loss.

Mine was the crazy mood swings. One minute I was happy, the next I was crying over the smallest thing. It drove my partner nuts.

I know a woman who had a great first trimester. She was able to continue her normal exercise routine, just at a slightly reduced intensity. She joined a prenatal yoga class and made new friends there. Her first trimester was filled with anticipation and joy. She often shared her pregnancy journey on social media and received so much love and support from her friends and family. Even the doctor visits were smooth, and she could see the little one's development on the ultrasound which was an amazing experience for her.

Sure. One of my friends had a really happy first trimester. She didn't experience much morning sickness at all. Instead, she had a lot more energy than she expected. She was able to continue her daily walks and light exercise. Also, she and her partner spent a lot of time daydreaming about the baby, picking out names and imagining what their future family life would be like.

A common first - trimester horror story is spotting or bleeding. It can be terrifying as it makes you fear for the baby's life. Many women experience this and have to rush to the doctor for scans and checks. Also, some women have food aversions so strong that they can't eat normal, healthy foods, which is a problem for their own health and the baby's development. Plus, the breast pain can be really bad, like a constant, throbbing pain that makes it uncomfortable to even move.

I experienced first trimester bleeding too. It was a bit of a mystery at first. However, after a series of ultrasounds and blood tests, the doctors determined it was a small subchorionic hematoma. They monitored me closely, and I took it easy. As time passed, the bleeding ceased, and I was able to carry my baby to term. It was a long and nerve - wracking journey, but it ended well.

Morning sickness is very common. Many women feel nauseous, especially in the morning. Fatigue is also a big part. You just feel so tired all the time as if you've run a marathon. And there are often mood swings, going from happy to sad or irritable for no obvious reason.

They are relatively common. Many women experience some degree of bleeding in the first trimester. Implantation bleeding alone affects a significant number of pregnant women. It's estimated that about 15 - 25% of women may have some bleeding in the first trimester.
