Congrats everyone!
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

hi folks. I am going to the doctors today to confirm my pregnancy. I took a test 4 days ago and it showed up positive, then i took another test just to make sure. I am really nervous about going to see my GP as I had a miscarriage 2 years ago, when we last tried for a baby. I already have a son of 12 years old by my previous husband, but really looking forward to this one.
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

Hey Ladies

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

Hi, I'm 37 and been with my husband for 20 years, we started trying for a baby 15 years ago, with no luck after about about 5-6 years of trying we were put on the NHS list for IVF, we had to wait another 3 years on the list then we finally had our first attempt, which i did conceive but miscarried quite son after, i still had 2 frozen embryos left so six months later i had them put back in and this time i got pregnant and went full term and had a boy who is now just 6, Unbelievably I have just found out that i am 5 weeks pregnant (naturally) , I am in a state of shock, i carnt believe after all these years , we are going to have another baby, I am very nervous though as it is still very early, but hopefully things will progress well, so fingers crossed everything will be fine.xx

Hi all, Am hoping you can give me some advice!! Me and my partner have been trying to get pregnant for a few month. My period was due on Sunday the 1st of Feb and I am always every 28 days, i have had no period but I did have some slight bleeding monday night after sex but only a tiny amount and nothing since, i had heard your cervix can be super sensitive when pregnant so it could just be because of that but I have taken a pregnancy test and it was negative, i am not stressed or anything an cant think of any other reason why my period could be late?? Any ideas???x

Hi, 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?

Hiya, Lora & Milliex, my name is Sam and i am 5 weeks pregnant and I do have all the symptoms you are both describing, as i did when i was pregnant with my daughter 5yrs ago.. It is important that you take a pregnancy test, I know they can be expensive to buy, but some stores do sell cheaper ones and also obviously the doctors & clinics will carry them out. Have you missed a period? If you haven't, you will not be able to take a test until the first day of your missed period. A missed period is normally a good sign that you may be pregnant, although some light bleeding or spotting can occur. Also Milliex, if you were at the stage of pregnancy where you would be showing you would of missed a few periods by now and would have to be at least 12 weeks pregnant. Although you do both have some symptoms that can be associated with pregnancy, it is impossible to know without taking a test. My advice would be to work out when you had unprotected sex and when you had your last period and work it out from there, but obviously the only foolproof way is to take a test! I hope this helps.

I am 23 and I took a home test on the 14th of November and it came out postive. I experienced head aches and stomach, my back is killing me, I'm always tried, my nipples tingles sometimes, alot of gas,I'm eating like crazy. Normally I would eat and if I eat too much I get full but now I don't. I went to one of my doctors yesterday and told me if I am 4-5 weeks. And without me telling her when was my last period she was right. I haven't had any cramps just boaled. Can you be pregnant without cramping?

added by Lidi23 [Thu 20th Nov 2008 @ 09:06:41]

I am happy to hear that people are having cramping. I am 5 weeks and 2 days. Yah, my husband and I are very excited! I was just worried that cramping is bad...but it seems like quite a few people are saying that they are having it too...so I guess I don't need to worry too much

I found out yesterday that i was expecting again - suffered a MC in April of this year - have done 3 tests so far and they have all been positive. Going to the hospital this afternoon to have a blood test done as the silly doctor thinks im making it all up -can three test all be wrong???? i have done one Clear blue didgital and two First Responce tets and they have all given the same answer - in fact the Clearblue told me I was 1/2 weeks which means that im 3/4 weeks from the date of my last period - maybe even entering the fivth week. Im very excited but also worried that i may loss this baby to. I to an suffering with tiredness and cramps in the tummy - so fart this PG has not been anything like the last one - funny but for some reason I can not wait for morning sickness to start!!

i think i'm 5 - 6 weeks 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

added by bluebird118 [Fri 24th Oct 2008 @ 08:57:28]

I am nearly 6 weeks pregnant. I keep getting bad cramps and get worried coz last time that happened I started bleeding, but thankfully mu son was ok. I went to the doc and he said it's implantation pain and stretching in the uterus. As long as there is no fresh blood, it should be ok. I still worry though.

	added by smixton [Mon 20th Oct 2008 @ 10:48:50]

this is for amyhappy :
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,...

i found out a week ago that i was preganant. and i'm 5 weeks and 3 days... i'm 18 and it was all planned. conceived first time... i have the sore boobs, nausea, back ache, tiredness, irritable, i had cramping, but that's gone now... i sleep during the day and that means then i can't get to sleep very well at night.. i know this is bad for me and the baby... i keep having thoughts that maybe i might lose it and that's the worst feeling i could have right now... my partner is very happy and supporting,... i keep getting mad at him and i hate it.... i guess the moodiness comes with the being pregnant part.. but ti's the worst thing that i'm suffering from... compared to this i don't mind the nausea and back ache..
anybody else feel like this??

added by Amypops [Mon 29th Sep 2008 @ 17:36:41]

I dont know if im going through stress or if im pregnant. I figured that i would be about 5 weeks pregnant. In the past two weeks ive eaten more food than normal. I feel like i have a normal cold but it comes and goes. My face feels warm all the time, like all the way to my ears. i feel like im going to get sick but never do. The other night i was up all night because i couldnt sleep. does this sound like im pregnant?
