The pains in your belly are probably normal. Your uterus is going through a lot right now I wouldn't worry too much if there is not any bleeding but definitely tell you Dr. Good Luck and Congratulations

Pregnant women shouldn't lift more than 10 pounds.

It's very normal to feel tired and irritable. If you can, sneak in extra sleep when possible. Take naps in the day, go to bed a little earlier than normal, catch up on some sleep on the weekends. Be sure you are eating well and if need be, take a prenatal vitamin for extra insurance that you are getting the nutrients that you should be. You will likely find your energy level, just like your appetite, will go back and forth throughout the pregnancy.

brazilia thanks for your comment.. however the dr didn't tell me what I should or shouldn't do.. other wise I wouldn't of asked on here would I? And my unsureness has nothing to do with being a teenager, especially as I am 20.. it is to do with me not knowing what's happening because I never been in this situation before and because I haven't been told things... again thank you for your comment :)

Sometimes doctors go through their script, not knowing what you do and don't know. I would start making a list of questions. Every time you think of a new one, write it down. Take this list to your next doctor's appointment with you.

If you need a quicker answer, ask here and we will answer to the best of our abilities and knowledge.

If you don't want to participate in a discussion then don't. Your rude comment isn't at all welcome. If you keep this up you won't last long. Read the rules and regulations before you continue, and try to be more respectful in the future. Thank you.

To the OP, congratulations on your pregnancy. Just take it easy, eat right and take your prenatal vitamins. It is normal to be tired, your body is going through allot, most women find that they get a burst of energy during the second trimester, and then start feeling tired again during the third. So rest when your tired, you body isn't wrong. :)

Good luck.

Cramps could be from dehydration. Drink lots of water
