Early in pregnancy, many women experience cramping that feels similar to menstrual cramps. The expanding uterus or rising progesterone levels may be responsible for this symptom. Some women worry that cramping is a sign of pregnancy loss.
If you feel mild uterine cramps, what you're experiencing is probably normal. Your uterus is expanding and is now the size of a lemon, so some discomfort is to be expected. If the cramping is severe or long-lasting, or if you feel pain other than cramping, call your midwife. Fatigue.
Your uterus is below your pelvic bones, so you can't feel it from the outside yet. As it continues to expand, though, it will grow upward from your pelvis and press against your abdomen from the inside, displacing your intestines and your stomach.
When does your belly start feeling hard during pregnancy? This varies, but it's usually during your second or third trimester. As your uterus grows, it eventually pushes against your abdominal wall, making your abdomen feel firm.
You at 7 weeks
Your womb has grown to the size of a lemon by the time you're around 7 or 8 weeks pregnant. You're probably feeling tired. Your breasts might feel sore and enlarged, and you may need to pee more often than usual.
The uterus is normally pretty small and hangs out deep in your pelvis. It doesn't typically stretch up and out of there until about your 12th week of pregnancy (slightly earlier if you're carrying twins or other multiples). By about midpregnancy (18 to 20 weeks), your uterus should be as high as your belly button.
The risk of miscarriage drops significantly as pregnancy progresses. In one study, researchers found a miscarriage rate of 9.4 percent at 6 weeks of pregnancy, 4.2 percent at 7 weeks, 1.5 percent at 8 weeks, 0.5 percent at 9 weeks and 0.7 percent at 10 weeks.

One possible cause of bloating during pregnancy is hormonal fluctuation. Pregnancy hormones relax the womb, and the digestive muscles also relax, slowing digestion. This can lead to constipation, a common challenge for pregnant women, and constipation can cause a person to feel bloated.

It can happen during exercise and when you quickly change positions, such as bending or changing from one sleeping position to another.
Your nausea and vomiting may be worse than ever: Morning sickness peaks around 9 or 10 weeks of pregnancy for many women. That's when levels of the pregnancy hormone human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) are highest (morning sickness is thought to be linked to rises in hCG and estrogen).
Pregnant women carrying girls have a greater chance of experiencing nausea and fatigue, according to the results of a study from the USA's Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center.

Boys' and girls' genitals develop along the same path with no outward sign of gender until about nine weeks. It's at that point that the genital tubercle begins to develop into a penis or clitoris.

So much of your baby's growth is concentrated on their brain this week that around 100 new brain cells are forming every minute. It's no wonder if you're feeling hungry; all that baby growth needs the energy from food to support it.
Cramping and/or spotting
Cramping in early pregnancy is normal. After all, there's a lot happening inside your uterus, and even though it will be several weeks before you feel baby move, you can certainly feel plenty of cramping and pulling at this point in your pregnancy.
