I'm pregnant. Argh! A little all over if I'm honest. The clearblue says 2-3 weeks since conception, but can't remember when my last period was, so don't know dates. I should go to the doctors right, but is there anything else glaring I need to do (other than tell my husband who is currently out!!!)

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

Congratulations!

Congratulations!
You are probably 4-5 weeks pregnant so early days and lots of time to get organised.
Will this baby be your first? Enjoy the early days of disbelief and amazement-you are growing a person!
You should see doctor in next few weeks who will refer you to midwife and you should probably start taking vitamins of you aren't already.

And get your husband home so you can tell him!

Thank you! This is a first baby - got married early last year, so nice timing I think. I don't take vitamins, so need to get onto that.

I can't get my husband home - he is gigging at the moment so won't be home until about 2 ish I don't think.

Never mind a child ... I have a swarm of butterflies in my stomach lol!

Congratulations! I found those first few weeks both hugely exciting and terrifying. Start taking folic acid and vitamin d if you haven't already. I'd avoid any multi-vitamins that have iron in them just incase as you may become constipated and iron wont help!

Yay, congratulations!
Go get some pregnacare vitamins, an appointment with your GP and plan how you're going to tell your DH.
Above all enjoy.

Congratulations and know exactly what you mean about being all over the place, I just got a +ve test this morning! Also #1. Have you told your DH yet?

Told him - very excited! I'm going to go to the docs tomorrow I think, and get the ball rolling there. Need to get folic acid though as I haven't been taking it at all.

Fraturcula - have you told your good news yet?

Got my first ever +ve a few days ago. Have told DP, but it still doesn't feel real yet (despite having to take non alcoholic beer on our camping holiday!). When exactly does it really sink in?!?! It's not like it was unplanned!

FraterculaArctica · 28/07/2013 20:05

hugs yes I've told DP - see my other thread here

Also going to the GP tomorrow!
