I have not had an us but did have blood drawn at the hospital where I work. I am to see my Dr. next week. Super excited since I have been trying since last August.

Hello my name is Bri I am 16 and 5wks with my first. I dont no what to do! this wasnt suppose to happen. I havn't told any one yet....... so scared. The dad knows and he is SO excited! Im about to pull ll of my hair out though! I don't know what to do!

I am so confused about the whole thing. I am late and yet the test came out negative. Could I have done the test wrong? I had my period 44 days ago. I am going to the doctor next month to figure things out, wish me luck.

Hi, I'm Kimber. I delivered my first in December 2008 at 21 weeks. My son did not make it, and we've been trying ever since. I'm terrified to take a test, but I know I am pregnant. I'm regular from Metformin (I have PCOS),last period was Feb. 5. Had implantation bleeding on Mar. 5. Only lasted a day and a half, and was light pink mucous. Now my breasts are super tender and swollen for past two weeks, and I'm starving and exhausted! When should I test for the most accurate results?

Hi there! I am almost six weeks pregnant after having a miscarriage last month. I have a two-year-old at home. I know you don't really "feel" pregnant in the beginning but enjoy it and hopefully it will last. The first time around I didn't get morning sickness until about six or seven weeks. I finally "felt" pregnant. Now I'm hoping to not have to "feel" pregnant in that way and just trust the blood test and early u/s I have scheduled:-)

Hello my name is Virginia. Im 8wks pregnant tmw. This is my second child. Im very excited and nervous as well. My almost three yr old doesn't really understand what's goin on. I am goin to work with her more to make her understand a little better. Any ideas will be greatly used or thought on. Thanks

Iam Lauren and I am 5 weeks pregnant. I am very scared becuae I dont know if my husband doesnt believe me or what he is thinking but we didnt even make our first doctors appointment yet or anything. And he doesnt want me to tell anyone not even my mom which I am very close too. What should I do??

Went to the Dr. yesterday, because I haven't had a period since a miscarriage in November. Found out I'm 7 wks! Nervous after the mc, though! She is sending me for a vitality test on Monday, after they took blood yesterday to check my hgc levels. Very nervous!

Hello ladies I am 6w4d!Aside from my breasts hurting I havent had any other symptoms,a little queasy,but this it.Had an ultrasound a couple day ago and saw the heart beat it was such a tiny little miracle.Dr said all looked fine and they werent worried about me or baby.But I cant help but sort of worry..I just expected to have more symptoms by now,any one else have this? Can I expect to be hit full on soon? This is our first, I want to enjoy every minute of it with out being a worry wart!

Hello ladies I'm 7wks and 3dy, I¿m 26yrs and this will be my 2nd child (son 4 1/2yrs). My 1st pregnancy was not bad, no pain, no morning sickness and I always had energy.

i feel the same way!!I just found out I thought I was 7 weeks but found out im only 5. But i also have no morning sickness just a little nausea. I pee alot and my chest is killing me!!!!!

The best advice I can give to new moms is to get involved in your local MOPS group while you are pregnant. MOPS: Mothers of Preschoolers is a wonderful, nurturing organization that can be located at many local churches. They are a wonderful support system, and will help ease many fears. I am 40 and 5 weeks pregnant. This will be our second child, our first a DD is 4 1/2. I joined MOPS when she was 3 and wish I had done it soomer. Good luck everyone!!

Jaime 33 & 5 weeks pregnant & absolutely understand being scared,whether planned or not.Being responsible for a human life is a huge responsibility.My first pregnancy was planned,but I was still scared.It doesn't matter if you have all the money in the world,someone to share it with,you're still going to be scared and worry.You have a life growing inside of you that depends on you to take care of them.Of course your going to be scared.Being a good parent means giving up alot.

I wanted to let you both know that I'm scared/nervous/excited/happy and every other emotion as well. I am 6 weeks along and even though this was a planned pregnancy I still am experiencing all of these emotions including scared and nervous.
