Newbie and I need help!

[Stephanie87]

Hi there I have just joined and was hoping for some advice. My period was due on Tuesday but still nothing had some light symptoms and tender nipples. Took a test today and am unsure of the result. Any advice would be much appreciated

 

[candymycandy]

That’s a positive! Congrats!

 

[Stephanie87]

Is it?? I really hope it is as I have been trying for months. Just I wasn’t sure x

 

[Melly41]

Congratulations...thats a definate positive! X

 

[Stephanie87]

Thanks!! Should I do another test??

 

[Melly41]

I would but maybe wait till sunday and use fmu as this should hopefully give you even a better line. First response are fairly reliable so i would be celebrating now if i were you xx

 

[Stephanie87]

Ok what is fmu?? Sorry new to all this. Am really not sure what to think etc �� x

Ooh a beautiful rose pink specimen of a BFP!
If I were you I would now proceed to do another one and then aim for a positive digital! Haha.
Congratulations xxx

 

[Stephanie87]

Thanks. I don’t want to get my hopes up though so confused x

 

[Melly41]

Sorry hun its first morning urine....its more concentrated so will give you an even better line x

 

[Stephanie87]

Oh ok thanks. I’ll do that will it be ok to use first response again or should I buy a digital? X

 

[Melly41]

Like treetrunks suggested do a digi in a few days but maybe use first response on sunday...digi is less sensitive....its just nice to see it in writing PREGNANT! X

 

[Stephanie87]

Thanks, I will do that! I would prefer it in writing so I can believe it as right now am still having doubts if it’s positive or not x

 

[Melly41]

Try not to worry.....its positive.kerp us posted though. x

 

[Stephanie87]

Thanks! I will do. Is it normal to now be feeling period symptoms?? �� x

 

[Melly41]

Yes....a lot of women get cramps, sore boobs and sometimes some spotting...its all normal. Ring your GP next week to get your booking appointment arranged. This is your first appt with your midwife...normally around 10 wks. X

 

[Melly41]

Are you taking folic acid? Vitamin D also good to take x

 

[Stephanie87]

Ok thanks. It’s all new to me, have no clue what to do! I am not taking anything what should I be taking? X

 

[Melly41]

Defo folic acid....straight away if you havent already been taking it and vit D.....you can get different vitamins but those two are the ones i had been told by midwife. Google what foods to avoid too x

 

[Stephanie87]

Perfect thanks I’ll get some folic acid and vitamins sorted. Like I say it’s all new to me and am still not convinced am pregnant! Seems so surreal I really want to be but can’t seem to grasp the reality x
