Hi all.

I have just found out im pregnant! Im extatic about it!
Funny thing is that, After trying on almost every item of clothing in every store this past week, and NOTHING fitted, I walked into boots and bought 3 tests and diet tablets. One or the other. I took the first test mid day (after having LOADS to drink) and it came up almost instantly as pregnant! Of course i was in shock... so an hour later took the next one. STILL PREGGY!!!! next morning (at 3am mind you) I took the next one. And gues what?!?!?!?!? Im PREGGY! Went to my doctor who did no tests... apart from my blood pressure and heart rate, and told me im prbably 5 weeks and my due date is aroung 8th December. I have an appointment with a mid wifee on the 7th May. I SWEAR im starting to show already!!!! My last period was very irregular.... Could I be further along? Could it be twins? Should i see another doctor? Im feeling a few very light period cramps....
HELP! Is this normal?????!!!!! (this is my first by the way)

I know how you feel i'm wearing maternity clothes already and i'm only 6+4wks, I saw that you read my forum too and I wonder about Twins and Triplets as my grandad on mum's side is a natural TRIPLET!!! but i think i'm just very bloated, as i'm all front bump.
I wouldn't worry too much (like I did) as there are lots of women who start showing the minute they find out.

Wait till your scan as that will show all

That's fab news hun. Everything you're feeling is perfectly normal. I got a lot of water retention for the 1st 12 weeks, then it eased off a bit before I started to show properly.

At your 12 week scan, you will see a perfectly formed baby, that looks huge when in actual fact is only about 8cm long. It's an amazing time and you'll totally love it. If you want to see a 12 wek scan, pop on to my profile, the pics of my 7, 10, 12 (13), 20 and 4d scan are on there. It will give you a good idea as to what your baby looks like at each stage.

All your cramps and twinges are normal, there's a lot going on in there now. Dont worry about what stage you're at, you scan will show that, after all, in early pregnancy, it's all educated guess work.

Good luck, any questions feel free to ask.

Love

Hi sarah, Your pics are absolutely beautiful! Typical me... sitting here blubbering away.

Thanks for the reassuring words. I think being so new to all of this, im feeling everything!

Good luck with your little bump!

Love Bella + 5+4wk Bean

Congrats on your pregnancy.

I think its normal to have some cramps at first, probably just a sign of everything beginning to stretch ready for baby to grow!

My due date changed twice from the original date the doctor gave me so it could be that you're further on. When you get your scan they'll give you much more accurate date based on the size of the baby.

Hope everything goes well, heres to a happy and healthy nine months

Congratulations!!!!!!!!

You are probably just feeling bloated at the moment. Drink plenty of water, it will help. Im 12wks but I was exactly the same when I found out. My clothes got tight very quickly. You will have a dating scan and that will give you a defo date. Start taking folic acid. I had cramping too. Its just everything growing. This is my 3rd baby. I have a son whos 11 and a daughter whos 7. Any questions, Im here.

take care

love Debra + 12 wk bean.

Hi Debra,
Thanks a million times for that! Being the first is unnerving! the 4 weeks to my first appointment seems light year away, and im feeling evry single bump and twinge at the moment!

CONGRATULATIONS to you too!!!!!!!
I think you might be hearing from me a lot.

Have you had your scan yet? What can you see at 12 weeks? Is coffee bad for my bean? I assume it is... have you any alternative to caffiene?

Thanmks for the kind words
love Bella + 5+3wk bean

Got my scan next Monday. Really excited but nervous too. I stopped caffiene the day I found out. I went decaff instead. There are lots of interesting sites for early pregnancy so have a look. Its important that you start taking folic acid though. The weeks will fly by, I promise. The first scan is great. Its surprising how much you can see. Wishing you a very healthy and happy pregnancy.

speak soon
love Debra xxx
