Talk about every stage of pregnancy, from early symptoms to preparing for birth.

All 4 tests say positive so I think I'm definitely pregnant; now I have more questions for you.

I don't really know how far along I am, the online calculator said 5 weeks but it could be more or less. How will I know for sure?

Also, I have been feeling nauseous in the morning, today was particularly bad but I was still able to eat a hearty breakfast. When will the vomiting start?

My breasts were incredibly sore since my last period 3 May: so bad I found it hard to get comfortable at night. Now they still feel heavy but not as sore; is this something to worry about?

This is bad- I had a hot stone massage using essential oils a few weeks ago - could this have done damage?

I am going to USA on 25th July, will this be ok? How will I cope with the vomiting in the heat? Confused

Also, last thing, I used SBC lavender oil shower gel for the last few weeks and I saw today it says 'not recommended in first 12 weeks of pregnancy'.

Oh one last last thing, I have gone off coffee and am sneezing all the time, why?

Sorry, I'm really clueless about pregnancy. Thanks if you are still reading.

I'm fairly sure that Americans get a pap test as part of their 'booking in' with their obgyns when they're pregnant - pap being a smear. It'll be fine.

I think 2/7 is too late to see dr. Phone and get referred to your midwife now, and tell them you're uncertain of your dates. They may scan you earlier to figure it out.

Either that or go private for a early viability scan. Usually about £99 but they can tell you pretty accurately how far along you are.

Also if you have no idea, they often send you for an early scan to see how far along you are which can be good.

Have no idea of conception date. We haven't been overly active in that department because I was feeling all sore and tender, but can't really remember either OF THE TWO possible dates!!!

Thank you for mentioning sneezing. I thought I was getting weird hayfever (only sneezing, no runny eyes as I would usually get). Still, it's good excuse at work. This led to me googling it for more info and discovering that the pain I've had when I sneeze is also normal and is round ligament pain.

I'm amazed that something the size of a peanut can cause all these strange changes.
