4 weeks pregnant anyone?

[Elhaym]

I'm taking pregnacare, have it on a full stomach and its fine, I know vits can make people queasy on an empty stomach

Any of the prenatal supplements should be fine, the most important thing is folic acid which they all contain x

 

[mary87]

im on pregnacare too, altho im rubbish at remembering to take tablets.
into my 5th week now and im so tired, just keep falling asleep randomly. i know i need to eat but i feel sick at the thought. have hardly any food in the house and have no energy to go out and get some. ahh vicious circle.

will have my OH here from thurs for nearly a week so ill get him to spoil me rotten and do everything for me! haha.

congrats to all the new ones since i was on the other day xx

Hi everyone!! congratulations on your your little beans! Ive just found out 5 days before my period is due, and I've had 5 (just to make sure) very positive pregnancy tests which all took only seconds to come up, my clear blue digital is also saying 2-3 weeks (from conception) on the digital display, so I'm a bit confused as my last period was only on April 22nd?! (?? twins)) So that makes me 4 weeks on friday!! (5-6 according to the clear blue digital) I already have a 13 year old, and have a new partner and we've only been trying since janurary, so fingers crossed I hold onto this one as we lost one in feburary!
and dont worry anniexfares, as long as your figure double every 2 days, you'll be fine! Some people are slow starters, I'll have my fingers crossed for you, I had to have weekly HCG tests back in feburary, but I was bleeding constantly from the day I found I was pregnant and lost my little bean at 6 weeks. I'll be thinking of you this week, its awful when you become focused on the figures! but if you have strong pregnancy symptoms, thats a good thing!

Hi can I join!!! Found out I was pregnant on Monday two days before af was due tested again on Tuesday with a digi and a free and got nice strong line, reassuring after a chemical in feb which only ever gave me feint lines! Had bloods done yesterday so I would have been 3 weeks 6 days pregnant and they were 98 got to go back thursday to see if they have doubled! Was stressing last night due to af style cramps but posted a thread on here and they seem the norm so have relaxed about that it seems they are common especially in the very early weeks. I suppose if u think of the pains u get when u have af and that is just your uterus contracting to disple a small amount of blood then your sure as he'll going to feel it getting a baby comfy!!!! I have told a close friend and that's all going to wait to see what the blood results come backon Thursday as before I tell parents. Very anxious bout Thursday but need tostop stressing as there is nothing I cam do!!! Anniex your h c g seems totally normalland a good number they always call u back two days after to check I posted on here about it yesterday and a girl said it is not your starting number to worry about it is if it doubles as here's was only 18 to start but the doctors were happy cos it had doubled two days later!!!

I am doing my second HCG level tomorrow as well, but my doctors office is an hour away so I am having it drawn at the local hospital then it will be sent to a lab where my insurance pays for it. So, it will probably be Friday afternoon before I hear anything back on the results. I am feeling alot more confident after reading everyone's responses, thank you all so much. I am focusing on the fact that I am not cramping/spotting/bleeding/hurting, so that is definitely a good thing. Prayers for all of you wonderful mommas to be!

Good luck with your bloods tomorrow I am slightly nervous as felt I haven't been having any symptoms although tonight I am feeling bloated constipated boobs feel like they r getting more tender and a little dizzy do trying to remain positive I am quite lucky as I work in a hospital amd just popped into the epu and they did bloods for me and are able to get the results back same day to! Do u have any symptoms? Keep us updated with your bloods sure everything will be fine

Hi ladies!!

I got my BFP yesterday... shocked as only started trying last month and was convinced it would take months. Also found out that my brand new husband (of 1month) has been posted to Afghanistan for 6 months on 21st June He'll leave when I'm about 9 weeks and get back when I'm about 36 weeks... its gonna be hard but I'm still over the moon!

Congrats to all the other BFP ladies xxx

hi! Just an quick update because I am at work! Just had the rsults of the second hcg bloods ther first were on tues when i was 11 dpo and it was 98 todays are at 14dpo are 290 so they are still low but going up having bloods done again on saturday! Does anyone know if this is ok?

 

[Elhaym]

Looks good to me, they have more than doubled in 2 days (tues to Thurs) which is what you would expect I think

 

[lozzie27]

i thought so they have trebled i think! just the women at the epu seem so blase about it saying they are still very low you are still only very early pregnant! Well i know that i am only really 14dpo!!!! but i suppose they see it day in day out and become a little de sensitized to it all! I thought they were good and reading on other links on here they sound like they are doing well

 

[Elhaym]

Yep sounds good, like you say 14 dpo is very early on so the numbers aren't going to be huge yet! It's not so much the actual number that matters, but the fact it's increasing at a steady rate, which yours seems to be

 

[mary87]

do i just ring up my midwife or doctor to get tests for the hormone? my midwife didnt even mention it and im not supposed to go the docs i dont think as when i rang them up when i first found out i was pregnant they refered me to the childrens centre. id quite like to know what my levels are purely as im curious or is this not a necessity?

 

[Elhaym]

They don't do the tests as routine, only if there is a reason to check (previous miscarriage, health issues, bleeding etc). Its not really necessary unless they need to monitor it.

I know what you mean, I'd like a nosy at my numbers too, mind you it would just give us another thing to worry about

Hello Ladies,
I am 4 weeks 1 day, maybe a day or 2 more. This is a very, very, shocking pregnancy. I am trying to get happy ( and I am sure I will soon) We did use birth control methods, I have ovarian Cyst, and almost 33. Did I forget to tell you this is BABY NUMBER 7. So, I take this pregnancy as this baby is ment to be....so, I am sure I will get over the shock of all this. Look forward to a happy 9 months with you ladies, and congrats to all...............

Hello ladies...can I join in? Just found out I was pregnant and I am 5 weeks. This is baby number 4 and I am 36. Kinda nervous about being a little older for this one. We told our parents tonight, they didn't seem too enthusiastic. We have 5 total now with the " your, mine and ours " kinda thing going on. Really made me upset. We planned this pregnancy and this is our 2nd child together. We don't plan on having anymore after this one. I have been feeling like am coming down with flu or something....maybe just the pregnancy.
