This is the one that really concerns me because when my sister was 4 1/2 months she weighed 160lbs is this normal to be so skinny?

as far as research goes sex is fine throughout pregnancy, if you want to do it then its fine but yes do take it slow and be gentle remember your body is constantly changing. also although you obviously cant get pregnant, condoms also protect from stds, yeah do talk to your doctor if anything is worrying you, but personally i wouldt suggest anything rough. also just a thing, some girls dont realise they are pregnant for a while and still have sex coz they dont know they are pregnant. it wont harm the baby, but be careful, stay safe and get medical advice on anything you want a better opinion on :)

Be gentle. For your own sake, talk to a doctor first so he/she can check you and make sure it's safe for you to do so. You can have sex, but do get checked first. No harm in being careful.

yeah totally, just like hormones cause food cravings they make you want to do things like clean and things like a bit of dust will suddenly bug you and will have to be cleaned right away! its totally normal, but do take it easy and have some time to relax and pamper yourself :) you deserve it :)

LucyandMikeforever is verified as being by the original poster of the questionI got another question my brother says I do too much stuff around the house (like clean and cook I get really mad when he says this) but I don't know why I do it I just get this sudden urge to do that kind of stuff. Like I'll just be sitting there then all of a sudden I think hey that needs cleaning and I won't think about anything else till it's done. Is that normal?

I know I'm a guy, so my response won't be as useful as a woman's. But I hope it's better than nothing.
1 - Yes. Totally normal. Some women have a craving for chocolate, others for sex, others for full roast dinners. The list is endless and often bizarre (one woman loved the smell of pizza! But she couldn't eat it) But it's perfectly natural.
2 - Because it's alive and moving around :). You have a life in you that's going to have to stretch, move position and such. Apparently I used to kick my mother in her liver,which was very painful for her. Something she hasn't let me forget :).
3 - Your hormones. When you're pregnant, those hormones of your will be all over the place. Your body is in overdrive as it creates that little life in you, so sometimes you'll feel happy, other times moody, other times sad or vulnerable etc. It's all part of the cycle of pregnancy.
4 - Some women put on a lot of weight, other don't. It just depends on your body. If you're worried at all, go to your doctor and get checked. That way you'll know for sure.
You sound like a perfectly normal pregnant woman. Good luck!

food cravings are totally normal but also cravings and aversions to other things like toothpaste etcyour baby is alive, living and growing and moves just like me and you, its nothing to worry about and is a sign that your baby is active and healthybeing pregnant is enough to effect your mood with everything your going through but also massive hormonal changes are going on in your body causing mood swings. also perfectly normaland everyone is diferent in pregnancy, some people barely show and you cant even notice the pregnancy at sixteen weeks while others have gained a huge amount of weight. make sure you eat healthily but remember your eating for two now.dont compare yourselves to others too much in pregnancy and remember your doctor can always help you with any worries, its all totally natural and im here to help if you have any other questions :)
