Just found out I am pregnant...

[jem2014]

Hi everyone,

I'm new here!

I have taken 5 pregnancy tests (2 clearblue, 2 clearblue digital and 1 asdas own) over the weekend, all have come back positive. I imagine these are very reliable and accurate nowadays but I can't help but worry it's false positives until I see a midwife and have my first scan.

I am 24 and getting married to my fiance next year, we are really excited about me being pregnant but I am too worried to really get my hopes up. I have calculated that I am around 4 weeks and this will be our first child.

Did anyone else feel like this? I'm trying not to put a dampener on it but I worry about anything and everything anyway!

Look forward to hearing from you all!

Thanks,
Emily xx

Congratulations you are pregnant! You would have to be EXTREMELY unlucky to get 5 fake positives. Like everyone says you will always worry with your 1st to your 12th child. I never believe I am pregnant until my 12wk scan. Then I forget I am pregnant until I feel them kick for the 1st time. All the worrying is natural, it is your motherly instinct already kicking in and wanting to protect them.

Congratulations again x

Yes!

I felt the exact same way, especially since I had taken hundreds of tests in the past and never seen one BFP. When it finally came, I thought someone was playing a cruel joke on me. Then I actually believed it would have been more probable to have some sort of condition that creates the pregnancy hormone than to be pregnant. That’s how in denial I was.

If you can, go for an early scan. My insurance only covers 2 of them (12 weeks and 20 weeks) so I went for an elective scan at an ultrasound facility at 8 weeks. Super cheap and gave me the proof I needed: a healthy baby with a strong heartbeat wiggling around in there! It truly made things so much easier and I’ve been relaxed about it since.

Thanks everyone! Glad it isn't just me! I feel as if I am going to go to my 12 week scan and there isn't going to be a baby there, I know it sounds daft lol! I'm going to book in for an early scan and pay for it, just for some reassurance.

If I hadn’t had a scan at 8 weeks I would have thought at my 13 week scan tmrw there would be no baby still hard to get my head around
