I love the name Jada! If I didn't have a fur-baby with that name already I'm sure it would have been on our list too!

I figured this thread needed a bump!

So how are all the mommies to be and the new mommies doing? How's everyone feeling?

Hi all,

 

I missed my period this month, so I just took a pregnancy test last night (well, I actually took two just to make sure) and it was posotive! I'm still in shock and feeling very emotional about it. I didn't think I would get pregnant this fast!?!? But, I'm really excited!!! It's just that it's still very early and I just hope everything turns out well. I'm thinking I'm a little less than 4 weeks. I made an appt today to get a pregnancy test and my doc's and to get checked up.

 

I'm having a lot of cramping, is that normal? Normally, this is when I would be on my period, so I'm guessing that may explain the cramps. I did notice out-of-the ordinary stomach cramps (very minor ones) from the very beginning, so I hope this is just part of the pregnancy and nothing bad. But I already have noticed my boobs getting swollen and extremely sensitive! And, I can tell I've been extra tired lately.

 

Any way, I'll keep you all posted!

Congratulations!!! The cramping is probably just from your uterus re-adjusting for the newly implanted embryo How exciting!!!

So...here's my update-

I went to the doctor's on Friday and she said I was 5 weeks pregnant. However, when she did an ultrasound she couldn't find anything, so she used a probe (not sure what it's called) to see inside of me and she said I only look about 3 weeks pregnant. She seemed a little concerned about it but said that it could be because of my irregular periods ( I usually get my period every 30-35 days). She had my blood tested Friday to check out the hormone levels and I was suppose to go today to have my blood checked again to make sure the levels are rising.

 

Well, Sunday night I had severe cramping and I began to bleed quite a bit when I went to the restroom. So, I went to ER and I was there for hours getting tested. I wouldn't stop crying because I thought for sure I had a miscarriage. Well, my blood results came back and the hormone levels more than doubled since Friday. So, that was great news! They said that it's common for women to bleed their first trimester, they just warned me to return to the ER if continue to bleed enough to where I have to change my pads multiple times through out the day. Luckily, I haven't bled at all since then and my cramping is minimal now. They still have to call me back to confirm my results didn't show any infections that may have caused the bleeding. But, they wrote off the chance of it being an ectopic pregnancy, so that was a relief. I'm so happy everything was positive that night! I'm getting my blood checked again tomorrow and I have my first prenantal appt Friday.

 

So, I feel very grateful and lucky everything turned out well! I'm just going to remain positive because I know it's still very early.

Oh my goodness sister, you did have quite the scare. Im so glad things are ok. They had to do a internal ultrasound on me also. it was a little strange. We couldn't hear a heartbeat but could see one. I have been telling our parents here is the picture of your grand tad pole. lol

Wow! That's certainly quite a scare. Glad to hear everything turned out fine in the end! Hope you feel better and keep us posted!

Well, I kept reading on baby gaga girls complaining that they're always hungry and kept thinking; thankfully that's not me! Well, as of yesterday, I'm officially always hungry! LOL My poor cube neighbor has to keep hearing about it every 2 hours!
