I'm 5 weeks and 2 days pregnant... I have some questions......

I have another question, since I found out I was pregnant, I have worried about miscarriage..And it seems like today I feel empty, so I just got a random thought in my head and scared myself.Am I supposed to feel like this, and I supposed to feel pregnant because I don't really feel like that.

I do agree that you should read books, or even just information here on Parenting about what to expect during your pregnancy. There is a lot to learn, and reading up will answer a lot of your questions. Miscarriage is a common worry. Just know that it is completely out of your control, and if it does happen, it is absolutely not your fault.

However, you do not need to worry about laying on your back until much later on in your pregnancy. Until your baby is much larger, it won't put pressure on blood vessels. If you have a hard time sleeping on your side, you should start getting used to it. But really, as long as you're comfortable, you're fine. Once your baby is bigger you will probably find it uncomfortable to lie on your back, and that's when you need to worry about staying off of it. But, with all three of my pregnancies I would wake up on my back in the middle of the night, mainly because I got extremely uncomfortable while sleeping. It never did my babies any harm. So don't freak out about that.

Really, don't worry too much. Be healthy and things will be fine. You are not guaranteed to have any pregnancy symptoms, it's different for every woman. Just take things one day at a time. And if you need to talk, you can message me here, or I can give you my email address. I've been through it all three times.

It's completely normal to have weird dreams throughout pregnancy. Don't worry about them, don't try to analyze them. They will probably never make sense. 

Morning sickness and other pregnancy symptoms don't usually start kicking in until about 6 weeks. The hormones have to get to certain levels in order to start having an effect on your body.

Don't worry about lying on your back until you're much farther along. As long as you are comfortable, it's fine. Once you're about halfway through, you'll probably start feeling uncomfortable on your back, and that's when you need to start lying on your side. You can even sleep or lie on your stomach as long as it's comfortable. With my last baby I did that until about 19 weeks, because I wasn't showing until then. 

Adult Pepto Bismol contains aspirin, which can thin your blood, and should not be taken during pregnancy. Advil is not recommended during pregnancy because the effects have not been studied. You aren't that far along, and you didn't take these two for very long. Your baby should be just fine. I drank (a lot) during the first four to six weeks of my first pregnancy. My daughter is just fine. Better than fine. She's healthy, smart, and as a baby she hit all her milestones early. So, do your best not to worry. Plenty of women drink, smoke, and take medications before they know they're pregnant and their babies turn out great.
