Hi Gemma,
This thread could have been written by me! I have an addiction to pregnancy tests - I have now taken 7 at the last count and am still going "Well, if I'm pregnant..."! My OH is like, "You're up the duff man, get used to it" (charming, isn't he!)
It's not that I don't want it to be true, far from it and I do have a few symptoms including ginormous bosoms that feel like they've been sucked, a tender abdomen, a raging hunger - then I eat something tiny and I'm full up, mild seasickness and occassional retching, changes to my 'toilet' habits (I'm usually a prolific poo-er but now just squeeze out little pebble ones then have a sore tummy - I know TMI
but who cares!), getting up in the night to pee (I normally sleep the sleep of the dead straight through)
BUT then I convince myself that I'm making them all up and all the tests must be wrong, that I wanted to be preggers so much (even though we were being careless, rather than 'trying') that my body has convinced itself to produce HCG!
P.S. I also think I'm a bit crazy.
I can't wait until everything is out in the open (only me and OH know) and I can start to show and feel things moving around - then it'll feel so real. I think it is natural to worry but try not to get too stressed. I'm only a week or so behind you - but have to wait until 8th Jan for my scan due to the Christmas/New Year holidays - boo hoo!
