So I'm completely clueless. Realised this week that I'd not had a proper period for a while (just spotting) so this morning I took a pregnancy test and it was positive. Firstly, how likely is it to be wrong? It was a digital one and it said "pregnant" in the window (and when I took the strip out there were two definite lines on it), I'll take the other one in the pack later. Realistically I
So it's looking like I'm between 5 and 6 weeks and I've no idea what I'm supposed to do next. My partner is being remarkably calm - I've been crying and panicking - and we have talked lots about having children in the not to distant future. So I know I'll be happy once I've got used to the idea.
But I don't know if I'm supposed to go to the doctors, I'm terrified that I've been drinking and smoking my e-cig (I think the shag wot dun it was shortly before we went on holiday so there was plenty of beer taken around the time implantation was happening) so I'll have hurt my baby. I haven't taken any vitamins and I don't even know when would be the right time to tell my parents. I also suffer from IBS so every twinge in my belly I'm worried is something horrible happening.
I've never really been around babies very much - lots of my friends have children now but you never really hear about this part of the pregnancy. Please talk me down, I know I'm hardly the first woman ever to have had a slightly surprising pregnancy but I'm really stuck for what to do next.
