With my first pregnancy I just KNEW almost from the moment of conception that I was pregnant, my body just felt different. I'm currently 5 weeks pregnant and when I had the positive test it came as a surprise as I don't feel it this time!
When I must have been 3 weeks pregnant I had a bad allergic reaction and had to go to hospital, as part of the triage they did a pregnancy test which came back negative. The next day they wanted to start me on 2 lots of antihistamine plus steroids for a week long course so I asked to do a second pregnancy test as I had been worried the first test was done one week before my period and have been a false negative. The second test was also negative. The doctors assured me that the tests were sensitive enough to detect pregnancy even at that early stage so I believed I wasn't pregnant and took the drugs.
When my period didn't arrive I did two tests, both positive! I have pregnancy symptoms, I'm really tired and sensetive nipples and even at this early stage my jeans feel tight! I spoke to the doctor who has assured me that the tablets I take are routinely used in pregnant women and the chances of them having caused any issues are extremely low but I still have niggling fear and wish I hadn't taken them. I'm told my reaction was so bad they needed to treat it and even if they had known I was pregnant they would have taken the same action.
I don't know if I don't feel pregnant because of all the issues at the start of the pregnancy, from guilt at taking the tablets and from having being told I wasn't pregnant or if this is just normal and every pregnancy is different? Can't help but worry that something isn't quite right.
