Your Pregnancy: Week 5

So I am not sure if I am prego or not. This will be my 2nd child and the only signs I am having is a MP by a week, nausea here and there, bloating, my boobs are big and around my nipples, my nipples are sore & cramping but is hardly there anymore. I took a hpt on Aug 8th and it was BFN but it was a CBED and I was told they are not as accurate as FR? With my first child a hpt always said BFN so I had a BT and it was BFP but my levels were very low so they retested to confirm and I was barely 4 weeks. So I am just scared to take another test cause I feel pregnant and I don't want to be let down if I am not cause my husband and I are actively trying.

I'm 5 weeks today according to the early ultrasound! I found out so early...it's going to be a long pregnancy! I get so nervous...it doesn't feel real yet! Sure, I tire easily, but I really don't feel pregnant yet! I'm actually looking forward to something, anything happening! 2 weeks and I'll have my ultrasound to see the hearbeat...hopefully that will make it real for me! Congrats to all you Mommy's too!

Oh my goodness we just found out last night! It's our first baby and we are so excited! We didnt know how easy or not it would be for us since I have very painful endometriosis...but we have been married for 4 months and are preggers!!!! YAY! We are so blessed! I'm so nervous, so excited, everything is so new. We are waiting to tell people until I go to the Doctor at 9 weeks...its killing me!!! Congrats to all!!!

Wow I'm gonna be a Mama! We just found out today!

Today, I am five weeks pregnant. Not sure when to get my first ultrasound. Does anyone know?

I found out that I was pregnant 11 days after ovulation! We have been trying for 6 months. This will be our third! Since I found out so early, I had to go in every other day for the last week and a half! I did three BT to make sure my HCG number was going up! I haven't been given an official due date; I go in for my first ultrasound on Oct. 7! I am so excited! Congrats to all!

im 5 weeks today and my HPT have been all negitive so far but i have MP sore nipples, nausea bloationg and extreamly tired

so im 5 weeks! lol i have a question tho with my first son the only symptoms i had were heartburn and cravings i seem to have a fricken headach from the time i wake up to the time i go to bed n nothing is making it go away is that normal???

I'm 5 weeks pregnant and am wondering what others in the same boat think about getting the flu shot or H1N1 vaccine? I never normally get the flu shot and (knock on wood) never get the flu....but now that I'm pregnant, I'm torn. According to my OB/GYN the H1N1 vaccine won't be available in my dr office until November so I guess that gives me time to think things over, but what about the reg. flu? Any thoughts?

i am scared i am 5 weeks and never had a kid before

Five weeks today, and I am soooo tired! Not going to kick the caffeine entirely. This is my second baby. I love this website because they compare the size of the fetus to seeds, fruits, and vegetables. It's such a good visual!

i went to the ER last night i got an ultra sound the tech told me that i was only 5 weeks but when i went to the doctor sept.29 i was told that i was 5 weeks. so am very confused i honestly i dont know what to think but i hope that the baby is growing okay

So I took the pregnancy test today and found out I was pregnant. We have been trying for about a year so this is exciting and nerve racking. I don't know if I will be able to sleep tonight!

I just found out on Saturday that I am pregnant. I am 5 weeks along and am having bad back pain. Anyone else experiencing the same thing? This is our first and we are very excited but I also worry about every twinge I feel. This has definitely been an interesting experience so far. I don't go for my first prenatal appointment until 8 weeks and I think I'm going to go crazy waiting!

i am 5 weeks pregnant i got on here at 4am lookin for an answer. I had a xray done ( on my tummy) due to blocked bowls. when i was around 3 weeks pregnant not knowing i was i had blood test done ect not knowing being negative could mean i was still pregnent. i was asked if i was and i said i wasn't sure, x ray tech went on he's way without covering me up. i had 2 pics done, and now im worried about baby. My partner and are wantting a family i understand that the x rays aren't a strong but what about at this early stage?? and is there anyway i can find out if baby is fine before the stage of no return??

I'm five weeks and had my first appt yesterday. He also scheduled an ultra sound at eight weeks. No symptoms just sore boobs every now and then. Mainly at night. First baby. Very excited.

Im 5 weeks pregnant with my second child and I cant wait to tell my family. I want to wait a few more weeks than I will. Im So excited!!

I am evidently just past 5 weeks along. I took a HPT one week ago BFP, but other than slightly tender boobs, quick bouts of nausea and missed period I don't feel very prego. I wish I had some more matter a fact symptoms. I don't go the the OB until Dec. 5th. And with two weeks to wait I don't know weather to tell the family at Thanksgiving or come up with some lame excuess if they even buy it.

Well I got married 2 months ago, we went off bc right before the wedding, missed period for 2 months (false alarm) now missed again! Swollen breast (don't even think about touching them)! Ate at my favorite restrauant and almost lost my dinner...decided then we better take a test. and POSITIVE! didn't believe it so I took another one this morning...POSITIVE! SO EXCITED

I just found out i'm prego!!!!! It's my first.....I can't wait.

I am 5 weeks and 2 days prego and going bonkers. This is my second preganancy but I hope, my first child. We lost our last baby at 13.5 weeks due to genetic defects and so I am thrilled to be prego but riding on a roller coaster of mised emotions....most of which are fear. The odds of my last issue coming up again this pregnancy are the same as for anyone else my age, so I am not at higher risk....just higher anxiety. I sure hope I can stay sane until I get the all clear this time around!

We finally decided to start trying again after we MC in August at 9 weeks, and on the 1st month of TTC we are pregnant! Now, I would really love to be over excited & tell everyone like we did the 1st time but I just cant let myself untill I know its here to stay... But inside im jumping for joy!

For the past week, I have had sore breasts, and very minor cramping, nothing like period cramps though. I've been on and off thebump.com checking out symptoms and such. I was supposed to have my period last week, and didn't. So today at the grocery store, I decided to get a pregnancy test, and...;. I'M PREGNANT!! :) I'm so excited. Just told DH, and he is so happy and excited as well.

I am 5 weeks today!! I have had symptoms but am such a blabber mouth I had to tell! I'm just praying all goes well since it is so early!! Congratulations!

I just took the hpt and it was positive. At what point do you start telling people. I think they'll wonder when I'm not drinking over the holidays.

Just found out December 18th we are preggers! Very excited. I am an identical twin and it runs in every generation on my side. Kind of hoping we have twins. Went out last weekend with a bunch of friends for the holidays .... didnt drink. Couldnt use the excuse of "DD" b/c we were staying with friends of ours. lol I am normaly "Ready to paaaarty!!!" Everyone thought I had a terrible time. haha I guess we are gunna have to tell them soon huh? CONGRATS APPLESEEDS <3

I'm 5 weeks today, so excited and nervous. I had been seeing a reproductive doctor bc I'm 40. Three weeks ago, I was told I had 2% chance to get pregnant. We found out on Christmas Day, a gift from God! Now, we just pray everything will stay ok. I have been nauseaus, very tired, and my breasts are tender and bigger. I'm looking forward to Jan. 11 when we go in to see the heartbeat :)

I'm 5 weeks pregnant and couldn't be more excited! Tomorrow is my first doctors visit and I'm so anxious. I definitely feel a lot different than I thought I would. It doesn't feel real yet but hopefully that will all change tomorrow!

due Sept 12th - our first. we are beyond excited! I agree...its tough being pregnant when you don't "feel" pregnant. Other than pratically passing out at my desk and being ridiculously tired..that about it. My first Dr. appt/ultrasound isnt until Feb 2. I had to switch some things around with our insurance to get the OB/GYN I wanted...so that doesn't kick in till next month. Stupid insurance. My appt was suppose to be at 7 weeks-on Jan 19th.

I took a home test last week and it came back positive....This week I was experiecing cramping and decided to go to the emergency room to make sure everything was ok...They did an early ultrasound and I found out I am 5 weeks and 3 days....I have a long road ahead...

I just found out yesterday (through an ER visit for severe abdominal cramping!) that I'm 5 weeks pregnant. Apparently, also found out yesterday through an ultrasound for the cramping, that I have a bicornuate uterus which is a definite concern because of high miscarriage rate or preterm labor... I've been informed that the only tests to see how divided by uterus is are either xrays or MRIs. Obviously I can't have an MRI, and an xray is a high risk. Any other women out there with this problem as well? I'd love to hear from someone who is ether going through this too or has been through this! Also, even with this medical concern- they didn't schedule my OB/GYN appointment until my 8th week. Anyone else think that's weird? Just looking for a little feedback here.

I was 5 wks we just lost the baby this weekend. It was our first time trying and I want to know what everyone thinks about the timeline to start trying again. Our Preg was so new but something we really wanted and planned for. it was sad and still is, but at the same time I want to get back to trying asap. Should I take more than a month or 2?

Ok, so I'm only 5 weeks pregnant but I'm already having back pain. Is this normal?

I am glad to see there are other women here who also don't 'feel' that pregnant. I am 5 weeks and we just found out yesterday. I don't have a whole lot of symptoms but I know I haven't gotten my period yet so I am just trying to enjoy it and not stress. I'm sure everything is fine but I will be glad to see the dr on Feb 15th!!!!

I'm 5 weeks today and I am bursting at the seams....literally! I'm also dying to start telling everyone but since it's our first, we are trying to hold off for 3 more weeks after the u/s.

I am currently 5 weeks 4 days pregnant! I got it confirmed by my doctor late last week. I have had mild cramping(which the doctor assured me was normal due to the uterus expanding and trying to make room for baby), my breast and nipples have been sore, frequent urination, and I am tired a lot. Recently my pregnancy symptoms have started to disappear one day and come back the next. My doctor also assured me that was normal. This is my first pregnancy and my husband & I are very excited the only thing that scares me is my husband will be deployed overseas(he is in the Marine Corps) when the baby is born in October!

5 weeks and 3 days :) very excited/nervous ~ last april i had surgery to remove a LARGE tumor from my uterus and also endometriosis so that fact that i am even preggo is a blessing. because of my history the doctor has had me in for blood work the past 2 weeks, just to make sure things are progressing normally. so far so good :) going again for more blood work on wednesday, and then friday is my first ultrasound. congrats to the other mamas to be!
