Hi All

I've never used a forum for anything like this before - I've never been pregnant before. On a whim of sore boobs and "Im late" i did a pregnancy test - two lines. I thought maybe this was a mistake - surely I couldnt get pregnant after a few months of barely trying and I'll admit to be overweight as well - my so called strict losing weight plan that was meant to be starting today - resulted in 3 more tests. I've done 4 tests (clear blue that digital one, 2 first responses and an early first response). You wouldnt think they'd all be wrong would they? Plus now i've woken up to my symptoms which i put down to stress, being extremely tired, sore eyes, sore boobs, cramping/backache but no period & reflux i've actually let it start to sink in. Holy Cow. There's another human inside. I havent gone to the doctor - will do this week - little disheartened as partner is away and I knew i could not tell him for a week so i had to ring him - his done the whole manly thing of "Oh, oh okay - - no i'm happy - -" which went out the door with 3 more phone calls of "No more diet coke! - how much water have you had today?" "Hi Just ring to say hello" << This of which he NEVER does on any other ordinary week. Plus the little giggle when I mentioned it.

So, now i'm stressing about the things like miscarrying, can i continue dying my hair? what happens at the first doctors appointment to confirm it? Has anyone lost weight while pregnant? And do you normally to diet products or full fat products to avoid the nasties?

Also, is it normal to still feel a little bit crampy - like every now and then?

Looking forward to anyone and everyones opinions
