Excited, but cautious

My husband and I experienced a miscarriage in October of 06 and were devastated. We both took it very hard and it got worse as everyone we knew was getting pregnant.

Well we are now 4 weeks pregnant and although we, are VERY excited I am so nervous. I can't stop comparing every little pinch, cramp, and pull to the last time.

I am trying not to worry, but can't help it.

Symptoms

I have been looking forward to being pregnant for many years and here I am 6 weeks and 5 days. My problem is that "morning sickness" lasts all DAY! I have no appetite, I am always hungry and my sense of smell is through the roof.

I can't stand the smell of perfume or scented soaps or deodorant. And the funny thing is they all smell the same to me, like laundry detergent. Then there are the occasional cramps at night. I never expected pregnancy to be like this.

And don't let me forget raging hormones. I feel like I have constant PMS! I wouldn't trade it for the world I just wish I was warned.

is this common?

I didn’t get my period last month. I was so nervous and excited. I did a pregnancy test at home and it came out positive, but when we went to the doctor, she couldn’t see anything. She said it looks suspicious and said maybe it was too early - it was not visible. She told me to get a blood test and come back after two weeks to have a scan again. Went home and cried my eyes out while my husband looked on helplessly. Poor guy!!

I am so nervous. I have no symptoms of pregnancy. I am so scared that when I go again, she will tell me that I am not pregnant or that my pregnancy has to be aborted.

Please pray for us. I would love to hold my baby in my hand and even though my husband keeps telling me it is not important I know he wants it too.

16 and am 2weeks pregnant

I am 16 and am 2 weeks pregnant. I took a test and it turned out that I was and I haven’t told my mom yet because I am afraid of what she will say. My boyfriend is 20 years old and he loves the fact that I am. Ever since I found out he has been so happy.

We are trying to get jobs so when we do break the news they can’t say we haven’t tried to get ourselves together but I know that I can do it and whatever I have to do to make my child have a better life than the one I have I will do.

It’s easer said than done but since than I have been saving my money, I watch what I eat and my boy friend has me working out and stretching, but I know it won’t be easy. It will be hard work

Starting to be happy

Well at first I thought it was just something wrong with me, until I started reading up on pregnancy because my boyfriend has been currently trying to get me pregnant, so I figured I most likely am.

I am experiencing nausea, ALL DAY. I’m hoping that I don’t start throwing up seeing as I don’t even like that word. My breasts are tender but they did get bigger (which I am not complaining about). I do feel like I have cramps sometimes, and that’s about it.

This is a very helpful website, seeing as I am tired of feeling nauseous all day.
