Introducing myself - from UK

suze12 · Jan 28th, 2012, 07:36 AM

Hi ladies,

I think I am about 5 weeks pregnant, we got our BFP last week.

I am from the UK. We haven't told anyone yet and its killing me lol. I have my first doctors appointmnet next week.
Would love to hear from anyone at the same stage as me. Or anyone with some reassuring advice about the pains/cramps I keep feeling in my stomach and sides (it comes and goes and is mild!) I panic at every twinge

The cramps are baby snuggling in to your womb tissue x

It feels like periods because the period is the womb tissue and baby snuggling in is the same as it coming away x

I had cramps so bad they woke me up once, but I have had a scan and am over 10 weeks now so everything is good x

Hi
I was 5 weeks yest! Had my doc appointment last week. Very excited.
Iv been getting lots of cramps too. I did have some really bad ones in the night a few days ago to the point where I was screaming. Doc sent me to hospital just to make sure it was all ok and it is. Phew!!!

What date do you think you are due? Mines 28th sept

suze12 · Jan 28th, 2012, 09:56 AM

Hi Poppy,
I think I was 5 weeks on Wednesday so according to one of the due date calendars on google I am due the 26th September eek!

Have also been having cramps on and off, more so at night, Im glad the hospital said all was ok with you. When you went for your docs appointment did you have blood tests?

Poppy84 · Jan 28th, 2012, 10:14 AM

No they just asked me lots of questions, checked my blood pressure, felt my stomach and gave me paperwork. It was still very exciting though.

They took blood when I was at the hopital to check my hcg levels though.

Where in the uk are you?

Welcome suze and congrats on the BFP

This forum is a great place to discuss any concerns or share insights. Is this your first baby?
The cramping you describe is totally normal as other posters have said. Your uterus will be doing an awful lot of stretching over this trimester.

Hi Beee thanks and yes this is my first so very nervous! Congrats to you too.
