I'm 15 days late now and I'm getting worried, I had my normal symptoms before I was due on my cycle... tender breasts, bloating, cramping in my lower abdomen. Yet nothing :/ I've been with my partner for 17 months now and we haven't been using contraceptives, I've recently started a new job which is causing a lot of stress so it could possibly be that but does it explain why I'm constantly tired, feeling sick and getting sharp pains in my lower abdomen? I'm so confused and don't know whether to take a hpt. My last period lasted arould 2 days but it usually lasts 6-7. Could somebody give me some advice please?

The best advice I can give would be to take a HPT using first morning urine.

Thank you, I'm so nervous

I assume you are trying to get pregnant? You aren't using any contraception.

We were but we kind of gave up, I keep getting cramping pains in my stomach when I'm stressed is that common in pregnancy?

I'm pregnant!

Congratulations!

Thank you I'm nervous but I'm so happy!

It's normal to be nervous. Congrats. :)

Make sure to start prenatal vitamins right away. Make an appointment with your OBGYN. The book "what to expect when you're expecting" is great, it sure helped me, even though my first pregnancy was 15 years ago, not much has changed. :)

Good luck, and again, congrats.
