My first pregnancy!!!

My husband and I were trying for eight months, when I got spotting and was like oh well, another month. Then it stopped within a few hours and I thought nothing of it. I took the test two days later and it was positive within a MINUTE!!! We are so excited.

I am 7 1/2 weeks along and my breasts have been killing since 4 weeks and the morning sickness kicked in at week 5 1/2...ugh....24/7 nausea, but no vomiting. I go next week for my 8 week checkup. Already went at 5 weeks for the history part and blood tests.

Does anybody know why some docotrs give early ultrasounds and others wait until 20 weeks? Just wondering because we want to show the only living soon to be great garnd mother the ultrasound picture when we visit her next month!!

Congrats to everybody!!!!

Happier than ever...but scared

I am a newly wed girl, just 26. These recent two years I have wanted so much a child, but I had to get married, in order to have one. Yep...I am pregnant. I was lucky to get pregnant immediately (although at first I was sceptical I could get pregnant).

Today I saw the doctor and he said I am 7 weeks 2 days. It was another world seeing my tiny, winy creature on the screen. I want this child more than anything else in this world. He (I wish he is a boy) is and will be my only hope in this dark and sensless world. I just am so scared, because the first signs of my pregnancy were with blood stains. This might have been caused by stress (which in my situation is in galore). However, I don't feel alone. My husband is helping me with this, although sometimes he makes my life complicated. However, I hope I get through with these critical weeks.

I don't care about the hard symptoms of this first trimester, as long as my angel is OK and is with me. Oh, Lord! I wanted so much to share my feelings with you girls. I am scared of any possible miscarriage caused by stress or by the fact that I am a little underweight. Whoever trusts in God, let him/her pray for me and for my little angel. He is my happiness and the reason to live. He is my one and only someone. Only a mother in love with her children will understand me.

I wish to all those pregnant women: may God bless you and your kids. And do not forget - we are the luckiest and most blessed persons in the world.
Can anyone reassure me that my "piece of heaven" will be alright?

God i feel your pain, every time i so much as sneeze i worry that something might have just happened to the baby. I worry constantly as well. I had 3 miscarriages in 18 months (very rare apparently) so please believe me when i say i know what your going through. My next scan isn't for 3 weeks, thats AFTER the 12 week mark. So i have ages to worry. I guess im just lucky to have such a supportive husband. He just keeps reassuring me. I to have taken time off from work to just take no chances (under my GP's recommendation). I just don't know what else to tell you. Hang in there. Im sure you'll be fine.

how do i stop worrying?

Last December i discovered that i was pregnant. It was unplanned but welcome. I was thrilled. I'd heard of people trying for years and felt lucky that I got pregnant without even trying hard. I had no nausea, only very tired. So i took 4 weeks off from work to be on the safer side. But i was very unlucky. At 12 weeks i learnt that I had miscarried. That was an even greater shock than known i was pregnant. Went for a D&C but took 6 months to even think of trying again. Anyways this july we tried again, and i was thrilled to find the positive result. I have done numerable blood tests and an early sonography. The sono was too early (5th week) to show the heartbeat but the gyn insisted just to be sure. I have taken a break from work so that i take zero chances. But i am soooo jittery about my next sono in a week's time which should show the heartbeat. I have all regular symptoms - feeling bloated, cramps, discomfort while changing sides at night, frequent urination - but all that is fine. What i am not able to deal with is the 24X7 worry about miscarrying again. Each time i visit the restroom, am cold with fear. Help!!!

#4 and still no money

Lord I need help, I am pregnant with # 4 with my husband, I have a 10 mo old an almost 3 yr old and a 6 yr old. My 6 ear old just started school and I recently found out that right now I am 4.5 weeks pregnant. The most serious stmptom right now is that my breast and nipples hurt so bad because I am still breastfeeding! My 10 mo. old daughter probably will not wean until she is at least 13 months because that is when my other 2 boys did...but come on...I feel like I am back a the begininng of breastfeeding practically. I have yet to feel the blessings of morning sickness as I know for me it usually starts at 5 weeks and feels like hell at 7 and wont quit until 14 weeks.

My husband and I are still with my parents because we have no money and neither of us has a degree. The job he currently has is unstable and we are looking so hard to move out. Philadelphia is so hard for us...jobs are hard to get and homes are too expensive. It's so depressing and I have yet to hit the hard stage of this pregnancy...I know I blessed to be fertile but in a situation like this I wish my fertility would quit for a while.

My husband is getting the surgery in a few months...before I have this baby...our gut feeling is it is a boy, but our first step is to tell our parents...I feel like I am in high school again it hurts so bad that a baby is depressing and disappointing...and I hate that we were not more wise in preventing pregnancy until we have enough money...if that is even possible, raising kids is so expensive.

Anyone who is saved/christian and anyone who feels compelled please please please pray for our family that we we somehow find a place and build more stability in our family before this 4th and final baby arrives.
