Pregnant!

[Tia11]

Hi I am 4 weeks pregnant. I am worried. I have not told no one. I am 22 years old. I will be 23 soon. I don’t know how to tell my mum or my boyfriend. I need someone to talk to about all this. This pregnancy just came unexpectedly... Also where can I get folic acid from ?

Folic acid is sold at the pharmacy and some supermarkets, you can take a pregnancy multivitamin as it has fa in it too. I got mine from Asda, £3.50 for 60pk.
Just say it out loud. Be understanding of the shock people experience when you share unexpected news, give it chance to sink in. You can take a week or two to get your head around it before sharing too.

I was 20 when I fell pregnant with our eldest unplanned, the news wasn't taken so well by him but we got through it.

Congratulations and good luck

Thank you so much. I will have a look in Asda.
I feel like I’m trying to wait for the right time. But I don’t think there is a right time to say. So I’m just going to let it sink in for a few more days and then say. Thank you so much. I have so much cramping like now and again and I am tired lol!! I have headaches too and do you know if you are able to take paracetamol when pregnant?

Yes you can take paracetamol 😊 but they say its best to avoid ibuprofen.
I would give yourself a couple of days to let it sink it. Planned or not I think plenty of people have a little panic when they see that positive test.
Good luck & I hope they will be supportive 💐 x

Thank you. I managed to tell my boyfriend last night, he took it well. However he wants me to take a test so he can see it in words. Now I need to tell my mum. Thank you!!

Paracetamol is fine but best kept to a minimum. Try increasing your water intake and use a hot water bottle or heat patches for the cramping.

Good that he took it well, good luck with your mum.
Digital tests are not as sensitive as some of the others, I used one to tell my husband this time after keeping it to myself for a week.

Thank you!! I was really surprised. And ohh! I have one that has the weeks. And congratulations!!

Does anyone know anything that can help with nipple pain?

@Tia11 soft padded bars, no under wire of that don't work. Don't ware one. That's what I did

Okay thanks!

Congratulations

Aw Thanks! Do you know if there are any products I can use for down there? Like soap wise etc, something that does not affect the Ph balance and safe while pregnant? - I checked at boots counter they didn’t have a clue. Pharmacy is closed today, however I was going to go pharmacy tomorrow, anything would be nice! Hope you all are okay!

You don't need soap for "down there" just use water

@Tia11 if you want to use soap, don't use anything with a fregrence.

The area dosnt really need a soaping, warm water and a soft wash cloth should just be fine.

Hi,
I’m so lost and don’t know what to do. Basically about 2 years ago me and my husband had problems our relationship went down the hill we have two children, we were kind of drifting apart we slept in separate bedrooms. But I always kind of didn’t give up and kept on going as I didn’t want my kids to feel the tension or anything at all. Just few months ago I lost my dad, since loosing my dad, my husband has been supporting. One day he came over to me and said we should give our relationship another go for our children and us. And he said “ my dad will be watching me he wouldn’t have liked it if I got divorced etc as in he would want the best for his daughter(me) .. so I kind of thought about it and said yes of course I want to give it another go and we got on really well. I also started to work on myself and loosing weight etc, I started feeling much better about myself etc and felt happy that our relationship is getting better. Now back in March I had taken my coil out as I thought I don’t really need it or want it as we didnt have any inter course for 2 years. I just felt like there’s no need for the coil and I’m not putting my body under any pressure. So sorry for the long post. I since our relationship got better I went back to sleep in our bedroom and we ended up having unprotected intercourse twice I did make him aware that I’ve took the coil out and we just carried on… now I only found out yesterday I’m pregnant which I didn’t expect. After not having intercourse for 2years and the only two times we did have intercourse I get pregnant what are the chances ?! My luck.. now since I find out I’m pregnant I get really happy and felt over the moon but anxious and nervous at the same time as I didn’t know how my husband’s reaction would be. I finally broke the news to my husband and it didn’t go very well. He said he doesn’t want a third baby and started telling me I’m a child myself and how do I want to have another baby, and that we can’t afford it etc. Bear in mind I’m the only one who is working full time and provide for the house etc which I don’t mind. He does other things school runs, cooking, house chores etc. So he does help in the house. I said to him this a blessing, he just wasn’t pleased at all and was asking if I sorted it out as in to have a termination. I’m so annoyed and upset don’t know what to do. We haven’t spoken since last night.

Ps I have had a termination 2 years ago (it was our decision then) as we had problems and wasn’t getting on then and that’s when I had the coil put in and our relationship went down the hill since then. And just recently got back on good terms and now I’m worried if I’ve messed up everything by becoming pregnant but both of us were aware of this before we had intercourse.

Please anyone been in my situation ? I feel so sad and don’t know what to do.
