7 weeks pregnant, scared and I have a bad cold..

Hi Everyone,

First off, Congrats to all of you ladies....

Trinity, I understand what you are going through, I'm in a similar situation. I have the coughing, the sneezing and i had a sore throat as well. To top it off, I haven't had any morning sickness or anything of that nature so I automatically thought the worse. I actually saw my baby's heartbeat at 6 weeks and I cried... Hang in there and let me know what happens at your doctor visit...

My husband and I are praying for you....

I'm 14, and pregnant.

I'm 14, turning 15 pretty soon here. I made the biggest mistake of my life the day I lost my virginity to my boyfriend. He wasn't a fan of the whole condom thing, and told me it'd be okay. I trust him. So we did it, and 3 weeks later, I had missed my period for about 2 weeks. I didn't know what to do, I tried to stay positive. I took a pregnancy test the first week I missed my period, it turned out negative. I took another about 2 weeks later. This turned out positive.

I told my boyfriend first, he was very supportive. He wanted to be there for me. And we're still together. I'm happy, but I didn't know how to tell my parents. I was terrified; I knew they'd be disappointed. But I had to tell them sooner or later. And now I’m finally working up the courage to tell them, and though they'll be angry for awhile. I know they'll learn to understand. And hopefully great things will come along with this baby.<3

Is this normal?

Hi everyone...

K this is kinda gross and one of those embarrassing things to talk about but I really need to know. I have PCOS and just found out I am pregnant they think about 4 weeks but I started having really light spotting that has now lasted 5 days. It is brownish pink but the time it seems to come the most is when I have a bowel movement!!!!! So now I am scared to eat any thing so that I won't have to "go to the bathroom" as often.. ANY ADVICE WOULD BE SOOOOO APPRECIATED. Thanks

35 and unexpected pregnancy

Well I am 35, married, have 3 children already. Two boys 14 and 12, from a previous marriage and a little girl who is now 3 from my current partner. All 3 children were planned pregnancies. However, this fourth is so not planned, I am for the first time ever, really anxious and worried about the future.

Now I know I should be grateful that I conceive so easily, especially when some women find it so hard, but I am worried because my husband has a critical illness which was discovered during my pregnancy with my little girl. He was diagnosed with a brain and spine tumour, and during my pregnancy, we endured together this news and intense radiotherapy treatment. Whilst he has been in remission for the past 3 years, he is under constant supervision for tumour regrowth and it is always at the back of your mind.

Since I have found it hard to cope with his illness and that of 3 children, also being the one who is now the main breadwinner as husband was ill health retired, I am well freaked out about how I am going to cope with this fourth.

I am currently 12 weeks, have felt absolutely awful throughout the most of it, caught a virus which took 3 weeks to finally relent, have gained too much weight already, feel quite depressed actually and even finding it hard to socialise with anybody.

Would like to hear from anyone who can offer just a sympathetic ear about this or even offer some advice. My worries are, what will happen if my husband suddenly becomes ill again like last time during my previous pregnancy. How will we manage financially because I am the main breadwinner in the family now. To top it all off, since my first two children are from a previous relationship and still have a relationship with their natural father, this causes added problems, since he constantly tells my older boys that we are in competition with him by having another child ourselves. How do I manage all of this and not have a nervous breakdown, I do not know. I don't have a mother or father around to help me and my friends are just few.

Please talk to me.

Going in for IVF and found out surprising News!

I was referred to an RE specialist last month because I had 1 blocked tube and a partial blockage of the second. The RE told me that my best chance for pregnancy was to go through IVF. I was not happy but if that is what it took to have a child I was willing to do anything.

Well, I was told to call in 30 days from my appt or on cd1 to have a sonogram and blood work done. Well, 30 days came and no cycle so I called and they told me to come in the next day. So me and hubby go into the exam room get my blood taking and the dr and nurse are doing the sonogram. The dr. pauses and tells us that somehow I was in the very early stages of pregnancy and that the sac was is the right spot. We ALL were shocked. I still am. I had no clue that I was pregnant. They called later that day telling me the hCG level was in the high 2000.

So, now I have to go find a dr. and set up an appt. I not sure if I never paid attention to the symptoms but now that I know I am I notice everything. I stay in the bathroom all day, heart and indigestion, and am very tired all the time. This baby is definitely a miracle and a blessing from God!
