BFP and so many questions!!!!

Have been ttc for a little while and having thought for the past week that I may be pg I finally tested today and got a BFP.

Have been in a state of flux for past few hours - I am pleased, I am scared, what have we done, will I have mc, was the test wrong etc etc etc.

To stop myself going completely mad have decided to ask a ocuple of questions if anyone can help:

  1. Last week when I thought there was no possibility of being pg I drank - two separate nights had 3/4 glasses of wine. Will this have caused harm? I am not drinking anymore!
  2. When should I go to the drs? I feel like I should know the answer to this but I don't. Should I go straight away or do I leave it for a bit?
  3. I didn't want to tell dp over the phone at work this afternoon and want to tell him in person. He will be pleased. Anyone got any ideas about telling him other than just blurting it out as he comes through the door!

Feeling better now I have asked.
Thanks to anyone who can help.

Congratulations!

Don't worry about the drink you had, practically everyone does the same! When I was pg with ds I was on holiday, boozing A LOT nearly every night, body surfing, eating all sorts of 'forbidden' foods...and he's a boistrous, happy 4 year old now. As long as you've stopped drinking now it's not an issue.

Go and see your doctor as soon as you want to - I think they'll test you again to make sure, then refer you to your local maternity unit.

As for telling your dp - did you keep the test stick? I recently told my dh that dc3 was on the way by putting my test inside his birthday card - he just about fell off is chair !

Try not to worry about anything - you need to relax and take care of yourself now. Stressing out won't do you any good!

Yipseedeeeedellelellelleellyday!!!!

BIG massive congratulations! I remember the feeling. DH an I were told together so no advice on that. I know I wouldn;t have been able to hold it in for more than a split of a second!!!

Go to the doctors now I suppose - they can give you check up, more folic acid, advice about the billion things you probably have in your head!!!

Get another test done as you simpy wont believe it.... Enjoy every second

Congratualations - dont worry about the booze loads of people dont know early on and do all sorts of unreccommended activities, much worse than a drop of wine, with no harm done.

No real need to see GP to confirm pregnancy but go if you have any concerns or other health issues, surgery will usually give you a booking form to get first midwife appt set up in a few weeks. I remember being distictly disappointed when I went to see GP and all he said was well done!

Woke DH up by poking him in the ear with BFP got utterly usless response - was expecting to be picked up and twirled around like in films - sadly not. he was really pleased that his balls definatly worked though. After that he went quiet for a few days, was brooding thinking "fuck, fuck, I'm finally a grown up with some responsibility" prior to that not his strongest point. He shaped up pretty good though and took a year of to look after DD when I went back to work. make sure DH/DP comes STRAIGHT home, dont want him veering off to the pub whilst you are at home sat on such big news. Good luck!!
