5 weeks and unsure

messysis · Jan 16th, 2012, 04:38 AM

I found out that I was pregnant with my second at 4 weeks after taking 3 pregnancy tests. I will be 6 weeks on Friday but to be honest I am having trouble believing that I am.

All the signs are there, I even look pregnant but I just cant get my head around it that I actually am.

I've yet to call the docs to tell them because of how I feel. I think its because I've wanted a 2nd for so long and that I have found out so early on.

Has anyone else felt like this? And if so, how did you get your head around it? Thinking of taking another test just to confirm but its a waste of money!!

I found it hard to believe I was pg too to begin with. After 3 years TTC and so many BFNs I thought I'd got a faulty test. Sent hubby out to buy about 5 tests from different brands to check! And to be honest it wasn't until I saw bubba on an early scan that I really believed it was true.
I would go and see your GP. They can do blood work to confirm the pregnancy which should make things more real.

i found out on saturday im pregnant after 5 tests. booked a doctors app this morning and its on the 27th which is ages away i think! im guessing im about 5 weeks too. i dont believe it either im just worrying about everything, iv read so many bad things im just worrying myself. i came off microgynon 30 in november and had period in november then another in dec from 11th to 16th then 18th until 24th. so no idea when i conceived but on every test it didnt even take 2 minutes to show 2 bright lines!

Im exactly the same I am just over 6 weeks according to dates but I have been told that will most probably change, I can't seem to get it in my head I feel like its not really there so I do still now carry a test around with me and I will do one every now and again to double check its crazy I know I am but my head won't accept it.

OH is sooooo excited and I am so happy don't get me wrong we really wanted this but I just wish I could get excited with him and stop worring that something is going to be wrong, I have my 1st scan on the 24th Feb but that seems so far away I am just hoping that it comes around quickish x

The way your feeling is totally normal, for the first 5 weeks or so i kept checking my pregnancy tests to make sure the line was still there!

At 6 weeks the morning sickess and sore breasts started so it was really hard to deny i was pregnant then lol but for the first 5 i just felt like af was coming.

Don't worry, as soon as the symptoms really kick in u will 'feel' pregant, one thing i did find helpful was taking a cb digital test which clearly tells u your pregnant, if u r really struggling to believe it u could get one of them? x

I found out this morning after getting a load of positives 8 weeks ago and then having a chemical - I felt like I couldn't trust the tests. Feel a bit better this time round but still not until the 12 week scan. I am around 4 weeks x

I am 6 weeks on fri too and can't quite believe it either, after a year TTC and so many bfn's I think I am too scared to believe it.i was telling my oh people can miscarry up to any stage and we could go to the scan and the baby may have stopped growing. He said talk about being positive!!!! At the docs tomorrow but just for the midwife to refer me to hosp so there won't even be anything to reassure me. I even bought another test test just to be sure. Did start to feel a bit sick today so maybe he symptoms are gonna start now.

I am still finding it hard to believe. I call my friend everyday for reassurance. I am 5 weeks and I found out last week that we are pregnant with our second. I have wanted another baby for so long. My oldest will be 7 this year. I really am having a hard time believing that anything is in there and that any moment now I will start my period. I just keep hoping that it stays nice and safe in there and that I can make it through this first trimester....

I took 15 (yes, 15) tests and a GP's test, and I still only truly believed there was a baby in there when I saw the little jellybean on the scan! I think it's a normal feeling, it's hard when you can't actually see anything, just analyse the symptoms.
