Right everyone where do I start right, I have a 16 month old daughter but since having her I haven't had a period until the last week of sept when I was rushed into hospital will really heavy bleeding I was in for the night and put on a drip they checked to see if I was having a miscarriage and all results were negative now if this was in fact a period and it was so heavy because I hadn't had one in so long would have made my period due Tuesday just gone but still no bleeding . I decided to do a hpt today with the first urine of the day and it came up positive so I did another to make sure which was also positive, I later went into town to get a first response test I did it about 2 hours ago and came out positive straight away!!
I am over the moon about it but keep getting like period pains I don't remember if I had anything like this with the first pregnancy as I didn't no I was pregnant till I was 3 months!

Sorry to go on but I just need to no if this is normal! Also I am on medication for an under active thyroid should I stop taking it??

Okay... if I'm understanding this correctly... you had heavy bleeding and the tests showed it not to be a m/c. How long after this bleeding did you come to believe you missed your period? Are you saying you went through the heavy bleeding and then about a month later you missed you "next period?" If this is the case then congrats!! Sounds like you pregnant! The cramps are normal as long as they are not accompanied by bleeding and I would ask your doctor about the medication you are taking, ASAP! :)

Well I had the bleeding from the 24th sept for 6 days really heavy then stopped everythin fine since then normally my cycles would have been 28days so I would have been due for my period Tuesday but still nothing so did tests all positive

Glad the cramps are normal still not feeling any different though just the period like pains
Thanks for your help xx

Okay I see, so you were due for your period Tues, Oct. 23rd and it never came. Well, congrats!! If this is the case then me and you will have close to the same due date! Mine is July 1st, 2008! I had a few bouts of period like pain a couple days ago also... it's normal. :)

Thanks I will try!
Getting headaches a lot as well are these normal sorry for all the questions but like I said with my 1st baby I didn't find out I was pregnant till I was 3 months I had no symptoms

Yes this is very normal... this was my biggest clue that I was pregnant! It's caused by the increase of blood flow; don't worry ask all the questions you need... I'll probably have some of my own as well! :)

Feeling bloated all the time but think that's normal!
I feel really silly asking all these questions when I already have a baby
