i think i may be pregnant...

I have been having all the symptoms of pregnancy. The worst is that none of my clothes seem to be fitting me right. when i sit down, i have to unbotten my pants in order to be comfortable!! my boobs are sore and i've been getting really bad headaches, my lower stomach and back have been giving me a lot of pain....i don't know what to do...if i'm pregnant, I'm only 3 weeks...do you think i should take a test....? or do you think it's too early for that???

First Chicken Pregnancy

I could not believe it when I found out I was pregnant. I went to my doctor for a regular pap smear and to renew my birth control, and she mentioned that she'd like me to take a pregnancy test at home before I start my new year of bc. It was something she only suggested in passing, but it was suddenly something I had to do. I bought my new pack and a test, went home and had a dream about truckloads of dancing pregnant ladies. When I woke up in the morning, I figured it was my brain reminding me to take the test before my pill. Well, lo and behold but that little + showed up. I was floored. I bought a digital test on the way to work, and took it in the office restroom. There it said, confirming my worst fears---"PREGNANT" in big letters. Luckily nobody was in the office, because I just sat at my desk and cried. When I went to the doctor's to confirm, I told them I was on birth control at the time of conception and they said "Oh, yeah, that happens more than you think." More than I think? I thought it was 99.9% effective?? How many .1% are out there?
I haven't had any breast tenderness (although they have definitely swelled) but I have had nausea like nobodies business. I'm actually losing weight (yay! I wanted to lose 10lbs anyway) because all I can eat is toast and crackers. This morning I opened the fridge and it immediately made me vomit (thank god there was nothing but water in my stomach). It doesn't help that everything smells intense. Since the initial first shock, I haven't cried at all--no emotional mood swings. Just stomach sickness. If I watch a commercial for anything meat related (except fried chicken, strangely) I have to immediately change the channel or start to gag. Which is funny, because about 2 weeks before I found out I had an itty-bitty rice-sized baby I stopped eating meat and went on a vegetarian diet. Well, the universe is definitely helping me to stick to it! (Except chicken. If I see fried chicken, my stomach stops hurting and I get a crazy craving).
And I cannot stop talking to it. Its like knowing that I'm pregnant makes me more aware of my stomach. Even my boyfriend will talk to it. And when my stomach grumbles back we joke that its the baby's first words.
I am so nervous of a miscarriage that I haven't told nearly anyone yet. I've told them I have a stomach flu and it makes me really weak, and THATS the reason why I'm not going to carry this 50lb box up these rickety stairs! Everytime someone asks me to do something I know I shouldn't (have a drink, smoke a cigarette, or use the heating blanket) I just want to scream "but I'm pregnant!"
But I'm only 7 weeks..

New Mommy

I am so excited. I found out just two days ago that my husband & I are expecting. We got married in October and already God has blessed us with a child. We have been together for almost 5 years now and living together for 2. I really hope that I have a healthy baby, boy or girl, but healthy.
