tests are positive feel like AF is coming though- help!

[hutchy]

Hi all

Did two pregnancy tests last week and both positive, so very excited.

Just wondering if anyone has experienced intermitent dragging feeling which feels like you are going to get your AF. It isn't all the time but is making me worry. First time so not sure what being pregnant feels like.

Making Doctors appointment tomorrow to get the prgnancy confirmed, don't know why I think two testcould be wrong (just nerves I suppose!!)

My last AF was 3 Feb so I think thatmakes me 5 weeks pregnant.

I've felt like AF was on her way a few times since getting my BFP - I think that early pregnancy symptoms are very similar hun.

Try not to panic - I'm sure everything is absolutely fine. x

Thanks so much fingers crossed all is a ok xx

 

[Mervs Mum]

I'm sure it will be hun. At first I think it's just really hard to get your head round that you actually are preggers!! I dont think I really believed it until I had a scan.

Let us know how you get on. x

i think u can get Af symptoms the time ur due on every month. try not to worry. congrats on ur BFP!! x

Sounds normal. I was very crampy (with period-like cramps) and had light pink spotting for the first few weeks of my pregnancy

 

[Ann-Marie]

Yeah... agreed with above. Early preg symptom do feel a bit like period pains.. achy tummy/back.. spotting.. sore boobs. I'm sure everything is fine, it's normal to worry
Congratulations

Absolutely. It's a wierd feeling- being pregnant yet feeling like your about to come on. Not sure if you get used to the feeling as time goes on. I'm still really early on too,so still feel really wierd about the whole thing.

I cramped till I was about 24 weeks. It is just your uterus getting ready to stretch.

Congratulations and wishing you a happy and healthy pregnancy

Thanks all, can't believe how strange a feeling it is! Think I am going to find this site a godsend! xx

I know this sounds mad but I believe cramping is good as it means that ur little bean is nestling into the uterus and really imbedding in order to make it stick! (As long as it is not accompanied with red flow of course!)

Every1 always goes on about sore boobs, freq toilet visits etc but cramping is another sympton tha no-one seems to mention! The amount of threads I have read over the last 3 months that Ladies who have had cramping and then went onto getting their BFP....
Don't worry...cramping and dragging is good!!!!

Just wanted to say congratulations.
Ive had cramping from a few days before BFP and still getting them now (6 wks), from none to mild to OMG!
Ive also become a frequent knicker checker.

Congratulations!

AF and Early Pregnancy symptoms are very similar.. i wouldnt worry!

Good luck hun and enjoy the next 8 months

I agree with the other ladies... cramping is normal. I still have cramping on and off, and have heard it can continue for a while. Congratulations!!!

im six weeks tomorrow and keep getting niggly pains so ur not alone.
u feeling sick yet?

 

[Jennieie]

Hiya, i am about 3 weeks pregnant and i have that feeling at the moment.. i remember feeling this too with my first pregnancy, try not to worry about it honey... I think a lot of women get it.. there is ALOT going on in your body at the moment so things will feel a little different... i am SURE you are fine!
If you need reassurance though contact your GP or midwife... they can talk you through every little thing...!!

Hope you are ok!!
xx
