On friday I took a home pregnancy test and
it came out positive! I couldn't get
into the doctors office until next monday.
What should I expect? I'm scared to
death that he will say i'm not pregnant.
I certainly have all symptoms. Is it
normal to honestly be overwelmingly tired?
I could sleep all the time if I could.
And my boobs are sooo sore. It hurst to
have my bra on. How long do these
symptoms last? Any advice for the first
few months of prenancy?

Congratulations jlong,
you certainly are experiencing pregnancy
symptoms, and yes it is very normal to be
overwhelmingly tired. In fact, that is
one of the most common symptoms, as well
as sore boobs, frequent urination and
nausea. How long the symptoms last all
depend on you and your body, everyone is
completely different. With this pregnancy
I had all the symptoms, and they all
disappeared at about 12 weeks, apart from
the frequent urination. That is still
happening now at 15 weeks. Like I said
everyone is different, I know other
pregnant women who are still having
morning sickness at 26 weeks. Again
congratulations, you sound really happy.

Thanks suzy, I see your replies on a lot
of these questions, your advice is always
helpful. You are very informed!
Congradulations to you, are you in your
second trimester yet? I feel so
perinoid, did you feel that way? I'm
hoping once I go to the doctor I will feel
more relaxed and it will really seem
"real"!! Thank you for your advice and
suuport, very helpful!

Hi jenn,
yes I am in my second trimester now thank
goodness. Yes during the first trimester
I was very paranoid, as I had a
miscarriage in may of this year. So this
pregnancy has been a constant concern for
us. I find that visits to the doctor
always make me feel better, my last visit
especially as our doc put a microphone
type gadget to my abdomen and we actually
got to hear the babys heartbeat over a
loud speaker. She said that as long as
she can hear bubbys heartbeat in the
second trimester, then everything is going
just fine. So finally after weeks and
weeks of worrying, we can now rest assured
that we are in the safe zone now.
