I dont' blame you for being apprehensive - a baby is a big change, but if you are pg you'll cope better than you think! I don't think it will necessarily ever feel like "the right time" but sometimes babies decide it's a case of "coming ready or not"!! Let us know how things go for you ..... you can always get some support at bubhub :)

My df cant wait any longer to find out so his just left to drive half hour a way to the 24 hour chemist ill let everyone know the result tomorrow

[sugar n spice]

I hope you get the result you want.:)

[tj_mum]

There was a very faint postive line so i went and got a blood test this morining hopefully find out the in the morining

[maybe1more]

Hey Tj-mum any news on the blood test results?

[Refresh]

Wow.....good luck:)

[tj_mum]

Well everyone i have it results its a BIG FAT POSTIVE yay only problem is i have to be closly mod by the doctors

[Rikred]

Congrats! Can I ask... how faint was your line? I'm waiting for confirmation of mine and on the ealry test it was barely visible... but I *think* it was a line.

[SassyMummy]

Yay Jen! Good luck with everything (keep me posted!).

My major early symptom was smelling EVERYTHING. It was disgusting. I do hope this doesn't head your way (though it does wonders for keeping you away from unhealthy foods! lol).

My line on my test was pretty strong...it came up in about a second and was as bold as the other line. I was 5 weeks preg.

How far along are you Jen? Any ideas yet?

Congrats! Can I ask... how faint was your line? I'm waiting for confirmation of mine and on the ealry test it was barely visible... but I *think* it was a line.

My was barely visible to which is why i wanted to get the blood test,i knew within myself that i could of been pregnant just wasnt 100% sure but now we know FEMALES are right when it comes to there bodys

SassyMummy i have counted about 2-3 weeks but my new doctor reckons around 4 weeks so have to wait until i get my appointment at the hospital - it sucks atm cause my tummy is flabby (just lost all my weight) im waiting for it to go round im giving it until friday if it doesnt happen by then i wont be happy !

[SassyMummy]

Lol...my stomach didn't start getting "round" until about 5 months (I just looked a bit fat up until that point) and even then...I didn't look very pregnant! So good luck giving it until Friday! :rolleyes: :D hehe

When is your appt at the hospital? Around 12-ish weeks? (That's just when I had my first hospital visit). If you're lucky, you might get to hear it's heartbeat (for me, that was the most amazing thing...the first time you get to actually get a sense of your baby being in there...).

Keep me informed! I've only been pregnant once, so I don't know too much about it...but still...if I can help out with knowledge...I'll try. And plus...I just want to know (I kinda miss being pregnant so maybe I can live vicariously through you for the time being). lol.

[tj_mum]

I know I know it was wishful thinking ! I have a app at the hospital at around 10 weeks (cause of my stupid op a few years back they have got me real scared with some of the things they have said) I hope i do hear a heartbeat :) DO they let family members come in with u for ulrtasounds if so how many can come in ?

You miss being pregnant i think ur the first person ive heard say that.LOL at least u have been pregnant and u know what to expect ! im freaking out at every little thing thinking something is wrong but it turns out its normal

I shall keep u informed of everything

[SassyMummy]

All I did while I was pregnant was worry...(and whinge and cry...lol...god knows why I miss it!)...and my mother reassures me that I'll NEVER stop worrying...lol. Great.

Generally though, things will be fine. I'm sure they will be. I don't want to say, "You're young" as if age is a safeguard against problems...but they DO increase with age so hopefully you'll be alright.

When I had an ultra-sound my mother and partner came in. A few extra people wanted to come along but I was told only 2 allowed. I didn't want anyone else anyway...they would have just annoyed me. (I was a cranky mother-to-be). Ring up the hospital and they'll let you know how many if you have lots of people wanting to come in (that you actually WANT to be there).

When I heard the heartbeat for the first time, I was told I was "lucky" because a lot of the time you have to wait until bub is a bit older to hear it. So if they do try to hear it, and you don't hear it, don't freak out - it's probably just a bit early. You're sure to hear it the next time around!
