First Pregnancy!!

[chrystaltips]

Hi

My name's Bryony. I'm 30 and my boyfriend's 28 and we've been together for over 4 years. We both live in London and work as scientists, me for the NHS in leukaemia diagnostics and him in paediatric research.

Found out we're expecting our first baby last week. I'm only 4 weeks 1 day so it's early days yet. It was a big shock as it wasn't exactly planned but we're both excited.

Feeling tired and keep having period type cramps as well as backache and sore bbs but no sickness - yet. Also keep feeling like I need to poo (sorry if tmi).

The main thing I'm conscious of though is that my heart seems to be beating faster/harder and I'm light headed and noticing my breathing more, almost like I've had major a caffeine overload. I've read it's just to do with the changes in hormones raising your metabolism. Is it only me or has anyone else noticed all the small things?

Congrats to all you fellow new mums-to-be and please pray it's a sticker for me.

Baby glue to you all


Bryxx

I got a fsater heartbeat and palpatations a couple of times when I first found out, I was about 5 weeks. They only lasted a few days and that was it. I used to lie down when it happened and would go away wthin a few minutes.
Good luck, Jo.
