I'm nearly 2 weeks late and was scared todo a pregnancy test due to what happened last time with my mum! I took a test this morning andit came back positive!! I sooo excited but sooo nervous about telling my mum, my boyfriends family will be over the moon though!!
My boyfriend is sooo happy to, I think I'm only a couple of weeks though, I will get it comfirmed by my doctor but it wouldn't show positive if I wasn't though would it?

Just thought id let everyone know

Hello charlyjefferis

Congrats ! But just wait a week...

Either visit your doctor to check or do a second test one week later. If that one is also positive, it's time to "spread the word" to everyone!!

[charlyjefferis]

Thank you foryour advice, I'm so excited all I have ever wanted isto bea mum! I just have that feeling that I new I was before I took the test

Congrats... :)

[charlyjefferis]

Thank you!! Is it unheard of to get a false positive?

[charlyjefferis]

Just I'm so exicited I am going to the docs tomoz so fingers crossed

[DoulaLC]

False positives come about in only a few ways... if you have been using some types of fertility meds, the test being faulty, a pregnancy that shows up positive and later becomes negative due to a very early loss... (of course this would not be an actual false positive), or reading the results outside of the time given by the test for accuracy.
Good luck tomorrow!

Ahh OK well I haven't been having any fertility treatment and you have to have the pregnancy hormone inur body for it to read positive don't u? Thank you illlet you allknow how it goes

Congratulations charly,don't worry about telling your mum I know it can be scary I waited weeks before telling mine even then I had to go out and get a bunch of flowers and chocs to soften the blow lol.my mum was over the moon though.good luck x

[charlyjefferis]

Ahh thank you hun!! I'm sure it will be a shock for her but hopefully she will come to terms with it, wouldn't want to think she would give up the chance to be a grandma

[joanne 1986]

Most mothers are shocked at first but as soon as the child is here it's a different story I can assure you.good luck let us know how it goes x

[charlyjefferis]

I will when I have the guts to tell her! My boyfriends family are over the moon just my mums difficult! Guess it's a mum thing!

[charlyjefferis]

Just thought id let everyone know that I'm 8 weeks pregnant and have my first scan in a coupleofweeks thank you all for your help

[DoulaLC]

Congrats again! How did it go with your mom?

Oops... just read on your other post that you have told her... glad it went well... :)

[charlyjefferis]

Thank you, she was happy but in shock to she just needed a little time to herself then she was fine, I haven't had the besst start to pregnancy though was sick and caught aviral infection that doc said couldn't harm baby but am worrid, found out that had heart burn and indesigon as felt better when I burped!! As had a horrible sicky feeling in my chest. Also been feeling really tierd where I have to have an afternoon nap everyday, is this normal? I was signed off work for a week but don't know how ill cope when I go back

[DoulaLC]

Very normal to feel tired in the early weeks. It can be surprising to have so many different changes going on when the baby weighs barely a gram. Rest when you can, sneak in naps here and there, go to bed earlier, catch up on the weekends. It does get better after the first few months for most women.

[charlyjefferis]

Ahh that's OK then I do go to bed early by like 9am in shattered! But don't seem to sleep well at night
