Or, post a comment below.YouThis week you will be able to take a pregnancy test. You may know you are pregnant if you have done an early test, but will probably not be experiencing morning sickness yet. However you may notice other signs of pregnancy such as changes to your sense of smell. A plug of mucus has sealed your cervix. Your babyBy week five your baby's brain and the rest of the nervous system have started to develop. Your baby is gently floating in amniotic fluid. The nose, eyes and hands are forming and basic hand 'plates' are present. The heart is now beating strongly at twice your own rate. Blood vessels have formed and a tiny umbilical cord has connected itself to the rapidly developing placenta. Your baby measures around the length of a grain of rice. |

I am currently 5 wks and in a state of shock! i have PCOS & endometriosis I have son who is 5 and after four miscarriages my consultant thought it would be better for me to have a hysterectomy. I am truly happy to be pregnant but also petrified!!!! My fiance says he is happy but wont really discuss anything until we have the scan! feeling a bit lonely as we have decided to keep it to ourselves for now! xx
Im a mum of 1, shes nearly 4 so its been a while from i was last pregnant.
My periods are normally very regular, although im 1wk and half late....
I was feeling bit sick at start of week & done a test but is was negative???
1st day of my last period was Sun 12th April.
Still no period but i am cramping abit, feels like my periods due anytime.
Sarced to do another test cause ive lost 2 pregancies prior to my daughter being born.
Wat you think ladies???
The morning sickness has kicked in and I also seem to be going to the toilet every minute or so. That must be because, at the moment, I could drink the sea dry.
Since it has been a long time since my last full pregnancy, I wouldn't mind some hints and tips to keep me going through this one. Thanks if you could help me. xxxxx
I have just found out i am pregnant again, i lost my first baby in January so hopefully i can carry this one full term good look to all you new mums out there i cant wait to become a mum. xxxx
Good luck to you all out there xxx
After coming off the pill 6 weeks ago due to mood swings etc I've been feeling really tired and sick now for about the last 2 weeks and had sore boobs for the same amount of time done few tests and negative - done one yesterday and it came through positive went to docs last night and she has referred me to a midwife she never tested done anything to me which has left me bit in limbo... patiently waiting. Done another test this morning which shows the conception indicator it shows me as being 2-3 weeks (4-5 weeks from LMP). Did eventually want kids with my partner although this has happened bit quicker than initially thought we are over the moon but I am very scared of the pregnancy itself and the labour part especially as I cry when i give blood ha ha. Im 29 and dont want to do anything to jeopordise this and mc so fingers crossed.
Good Luck Ladies and Congrats xx

I'm 5wks pregnant. I lost my baby last year when I was 4months - infact a year to the day, yesterday. So my boyfriend and I are really happy. Had some lower back pain, think I caught a chill yesterday while out and have a had an upset stomach, not bad just a bit uncomfortable. Is it normal, chills aside, to get lower back ache, right at the base of the back?
congratilations to all mothers-to-be
my name is sandra
i'm 25 and i tink i'm pregnant
i just got married last month to my boyfriend of 8yrs and we couldnt wait to start a family.
now i think i'm pregnant cos my period is 3 days late and i already started having the swollen breasts from last week plus i have that really strong feeling
i'l be taking the weeks in a few days cos i want to be absolutely sure
but right now i'm a bit scare of MCs cos i've heard alot about it and i see myself withdrawng when i and my husband are making love
i'm scared he'll hurt the baby even though he's really gentle
i know the first trimester is really delicate but am i overreacting?
pls advice!!!
i am 23 and i'm experiencing very much the same symptoms, head & eye aches, tingly uncomfortable nipples, my boyfriend says my breasts are getting bigger. I'm also very tired and this is all new to me, and have come on here for some guidence.

i'm 16 and have hih suspitions i am pregnant. my breasts are so sestitive and have a feeling in them similar to a growing pain. I am so tierd and worn out i can fall asleep in minutes. Headaches and eye aches are occuring. dizziness. no sickness. and cant tell if i'm showing yet. Dont no what the difference from a bloated day or showing pregancy is. Am i pregnant?
my boyfriend and i always make sure we're safe when we have sex, but the last time we had sex, the condom fell off. i didnt panic because about two weeks(give or take a few days, i'm bad with timing) after that, i got my period. or what i thought was my period. it wasn't my normal cycle(7-8days), but it was something so i just didnt think anything of it.
but, i'm noticing differnt habits now and i'm freaking out.
- i'm always tired. not right away in the morning, but by 2 -5 in the afternoon, i need a two-four hour nap because i can't keep my eyes open. even if i havent done any physical activities i find myself needing to sit down a lot more.
- i'm dizzy. if i've been sitting, lying down or standing still a long time and stand up to quickly i get dizzy.
- my moods are incredibly sensitive. i can be beyond happy for a while, and then at the slightest thing that isnt "right" i can be screaming in an anger that shouldnt be there, or crying my heart out(this has never happened with my period). there are two people that can usually NEVER make me seriously mad. my best friend and boyfriend. both of them are able to press buttons now that aggrivate me.
- at random times i'll find myself with the feeling that i'm going to throw up. i never actually do, but it's intense.
- i'm eating more. i'm usually a very picky/tiny eater, but now i dont really care what is put in front of me, i'll eat it. and instead of only being able to finish half my plate, i can eat everything on it.
- my bras are tighter. i have to adjust the straps so that my boobs arent spilling over the cups.
- i get headaches frequently. but lately i've been getting "differnt" headaches. they're not any of the ones i usually get, and these go away with sleep. which, never happens with my "normal" headaches.
- my lower back has this dull pain in it, and i'm always rubbing it. my friend is pointing it out now, becuase i always have my hand on my back.
i'm almost 18.
i'm trying to work up the courage to take a pregnancy test :S
Your situation is actually really common, Im 25 now, but when I was in my freshmen year of highschool 4 of my friends got pregnant at either 15 or 16. they all choose to keep and raise the baby and they all are really happy and now have made it through college. Of course all of them say they shouldve waited to have sex,.. and everything is soooo much harder when you are a teen mom, but keeping the baby was not a mistake. If you are up for all the struggles of being a teen mom I say go for it,...
anybody else feel like this??
I feel great, no real signs apart from sore boobs!
