4 weeks pregnant & in shock!!!

[Zeeky]

Did a test on Tuesday morning as AF was due the day before and up came the positive immediately!! Totally shocked!! It was only our second attempt ttc #2 and as it had taken well over a year to conceive DS I was prepared for the long haul again. Now totally in shock and finding it really hard to get my head around it.

I'm part excited/ecstatic and part scared/dreading the whole "loss of control of my body" again. I have recently managed to lose my baby weight and was starting to feel good about my body again!

DS is nearly 2 now so the age gap will be really nice. But can't help feeling melancholy that the days of just and DS together are numbered. Is it normal to feel this way, or am I just being over-dramatic??

It hasn't helped that since I got BFP we've had my in-laws staying, so DH and I haven't really had much space to talk/think about it, as we didn't want to tell them yet.

It would be nice to hear if anyone else is at the same stage as me. I think I am about 4+3 weeks pregnant at the moment.

I'm not but I'm bloody jealous!

Congratulations

Thanks Eyeball! I know how lucky I am as last time we started going down the route of having tests done, and found out that DH had major issues with his sperm both in terms of numbers and quality. So we are just really shocked that his little troops have improved so much !!!!

Hi I am 43 and have been trying for a baby on and off for years. have adopted child. This month I really feel that I may be pregnant. Period due next week but I feel very hungry, nervous rumbly tummy, nauseous today after just a couple of glasses of wine last night even though I normally drink it no problem. Feel like worse hangover ever. Very sore throat yesterday although never usually ill. Are any of these signs?

Could be symptoms but might not be! Previous month I had really sore boobs in the run up to period, but wasn't pregnant. This month had no symptoms at all and was pregnant!! Have been feeling very tired the last couple of days but it may be psychosymatic

Fingers crossed for you bobofong that this is the month you've been waiting for. I can't begin to imagine what it must be like to have been trying for so long. It felt like forever last time when it took 15mths to conceive DS.

I kinda know what you mean, we were ttc when I concieved but I still feel a bit concerned about it not being just me and ds anymore, and dh obviously. I also am not as excited about the actual pregnancy this time as i've already experienced it once and I'm just tired of feeling sick/bloated/headachy/indigestion/tired etc etc, I'm kinda wishing the pregnancy away so I can meet the new baby iyswim?

I'm hoping as time goes along (am 11wks) that I will relax in to it a bit more and feel less worried and more excited. I also have the extra concerns of how to look after 2?! I'm sure how you feel is normal, there is no 'right' reaction so don't beat yourself up about it

Hey buddy! I am 4 weeks - tested at lunchtime. Also no 2, on second attempt!
My DD is just three, and I am 40, so pretty shocked...
Not seeing my inlaws until Thursday, so at least DH and I have a bit of time to get our heads around it.
Currently worrying in case I will not love this little one, or my relationship with my girl will change. I know this is all daft, but it is a lot to take in...
Congratulations Zeeky!!!

Hope you are ok Zeeky, I have joined the Due April 2010????? thread - hope to see you there

Hi Stinkypinky,

I'll go and join that thread too.

Starting to get my around it a bit now. Have made an booking-in appointment with the midwife for next week, so starting to feel a bit more real now.

I am visiting my parents this week but am not going to tell them yet. It is quite difficult!

I keep forgetting that I'm pregnant and then realise that I've just eaten a Mr Whippy ice-cream or had a few too many cups of tea!!

Hi
I got my BFP on Saturday. 4 weeks now. I lost my first baby at 5 months pregnant at the start of the year so my DH and I are keeping quiet too. It's so hard!

Saw GP today but I still feel like I'm lying and I'm not pregnant. Hopefully it will seem real soon. I keep forgetting too. I'll look at a cute baby outfit and start getting all melancholy but then remember I am pregnant!

The major effect of pregnancy today is uncontrollable wind! It's so bad my shoulder blase hurts which I've read is all wind related. I hope this stops soon or I'll take off
