The Pregnancy Chat Thread!

They sound like pregnancy symptoms and the spotting sounds like an implantation bleed.

You know the only way you can be sure is to do a test

You gave birth last week, or you're expecting since last week?? i presume you are a mummy now! Congrats! !!

yeah i am really scared, its just because im half way thru my first year (of a 2 year beauty course) in college, and im 20, and i know that my parents are going to just hit the roof.. i am petrafied.. i really am. but thank you anyway, ill get used to the idea of this soon.
i have a question girls.. my boobs arent as sore as they were coming up to my due period (that didnt come 3 days ago) theyre still swollen, but they arent as sore as they were, is this normal? also, i have feelings in my womb like just above my belt line, like butterflies and sometimes lil stabbing pains, not unbearable, but is that normal?? x

Well Turbo looks like its true ..Congrats
I had those cramps aswell..Its like your period..Had me running to the bathroom to check all day :rolleyes: When i went to the docs i said it to her and she said that when you have your period your womb contracts when you in early pregnancy it expands so you get similar pain...(Correct me on the contracting and expanding bit )

When you go to hospital for your first visit you get a pack and the website they have is eumom.ie...I find that a great help they might be able to answer a few more questions..Oh and with you boobs dont worry ..They will hurt soon enough :rolleyes:


Dont be suprised by ppls reactions too..I thought my parents would freak ..They didnt ..And they have been really really supportive

Well, congratulations!!

Don't be scared, I was where you were two years ago. 20 and pregnant. I was so so scared to tell my parents. And while my dad did hit the roof, he got over the shock pretty quickly and concentrated on becoming a grandfather then! He dotes on my little one, and she dotes on him. I'm due no.2 at the end of February and he's been very supportive this time around also. Even suggesting names!

My boobs got very sensitive around the end of the first trimester but after that not too much! The one thing that scared the life outta me though was my nipples changed and I wasn't expecting that to happen!

I even hung out here when I wasn't pregnant!!

Adrieanne : (hope i spelt that correctly) thanks for your wise words,. your parents sound AMAZING! and congrats on number 2! yeah i really hope that my parents arent too angry for too long, i suppose how can they be - its new life, at a young age i know; but still once i get thru the college exams and get my qualification i think that thats the main thing!

Caprilicious: Thanks for your reply ! i feel fine today... my boyfriends been amazing haah hes nearly 25 so maybe hes more grounded than i am.. but he was like ''oooh i hope we have a girl'' and ''i really wanna get you loads of really nice maternity clothes'' haha hes very sweet, or maybe the poor chap is just in shock! i had a few butterfly-like sensations in my lower tummy just above my belt.. but it wasnt sore, i am very hungry, so i went downstairs and cooked up a whopper cottage pie that my whole family enjoyed also, i am stuffed now. but i found it very hard to sleep last night... so much going through my head.. and i woke at 5am to go pee and then i was awake for 2 hours thinking of everything baby related and worrying...

Ladies, what do i do now? do i see a doctor? surely its a waste of a blood test expense if i am certain due to having 4 positive pregnancy tests? i am so lost, i wish my mummy could help me haha i am so uninformed, i can be so arrogant about a lot of things thinking i know everything, now i am in this situation and i do not have a clue where to start. eeek!!

thanks gals Xx

Its scary coz unless you know what to expect you dont know what to do next...
When i found out i
Made an app with the doc..Just to confirm (Some of the girls have said that they might not bring you in just take your word for it )Then they will make an appointment for you to have bloods for loads of tests,but mainly for your blood group.

Then you have you hospital app (Depends on where your from as to when you get it ..Seems to be the norm that its 20 weeks in Dublin but in Cork they were shocked that i hadnt been in at 13 weeks)

Then ...I duno ive only reached this part lol

You seem much happier today ,,Im delighted for ya xxx

Thanks a mill. yeah i will do this, i must rake some money together for this, as well as pay my fine from going up a one way street haha , and then ill be grand.

this is so weird. one minute im thinkin ""aw yaaaay!!" next minute im thinkin "oh.. god.. my life is over!! im in the doghouse.. how did i let this happen" etc etc.. but at the end of the day, this is the start of something new, and its going to be so exciting after my parents accept it.
thanks lady xx

Ohhh ohhh ohh forgot to mention that there the mother and baby scheme where you get free doctors care while pregnant as long as the problem is pregnancy related..and 6 weeks care for the baby after its born
Does anyone know if all docs do this or only certain ones??
