well last monday i took a pregnancy test and it turns out im pregnant!
my boyfriend and i were'nt trying to get pregnant, but it happened and we're still thrilled and excited about it.
We have a lot of support from his side of the family, from his brother, sister-in-law, and their parents. Im so glad i have his sister-in-law (Liz) to talk to about all this, she's a nurse and has two kids and has been giving me advice here and there about what i should be eating, pre-natal vitamins, she's helping me find a family doctor, and took me to one of hers to get everything checked out and to get a blood test to confirm my pregnancy.
I've been living a much healthier life style not only for my baby but for myself aswell, and i had a lot of help from my boyfriend to get where i am today.
Im 5 weeks pregnant now, i feel really good, some back pains here and there and holy hell are my breasts sore! lol im pretty excited about all this. Im ready to take on such a big responsibility raising a baby, im also a little scared wondering if i will be a good mother. But my boyfriend has been supporting me and will be here every step of the way.

Good luck! It's great you have a health professional you can turn to so easily. I know what you mean about the sore breasts, this time last years i was arounf 13weeks and the cold air hurt so much. When i went out i used to wrap a scarf around my chest and then put a coat on over to try and stop the cold gettign to my breasts!

Most pregnant women get turned on or off to certain foods. One sure sign of pregnancy for me is a total and complete aversion to olive oil and scrambled eggs. The scent of either is enough to make me lose my stomach on the spot. I also had constant cravings for the potato soup a local restaurant had once a week, and scalloped potatoes.

I never had sore breasts, though. They just kept getting bigger, lol!

Most women get a bit of sickness at implantation, due to the fluctuation in hormones (the pregnancy quickly and forcibly regulates your hormones so your body won't attack the embryo as a foreign body). It's usually ignored because it can be so mild.

I hope everything works out for you.

Just surious, though, why would you say you weren't trying to get pregnant?

"my boyfriend and i were'nt trying to get pregnant, but it happened and we're still thrilled and excited about it. "

I just read some of your previous threads and the posts therein, and you were even getting information about ovulation prediction kits. I'm sure I could have misunderstood something, so that's why I'm asking.

Are you going to tell your parents? I hope that goes ok, if you do tell them.
