Hey everyone! As some of you already know, i've taken two pregnancy tests, both positive. My parents know, as do my boyfriend's parents. Everyone is taking it considerably well, which is good. I haven't been to the doctor yet, but i'm planning on going next week. Anyways, my question is... I should be about two weeks pregnant now (my last period was on july 6th), and i've been having some really bad cramps. They don't feel like the same cramps I get before my period, they feel like my lower abdomen is so full it might pop. I know my uterus shouldn't be expanding that much yet, so I was wondering if that was normal. Thanx everyone, for your advice and support!

I'd be thinking about getting into see the Dr. Sooner then next week. You should be ok as long as you do not have a bloody show.

Your really 1 month pregnant...Because they count from the day of your last period. So your positive pregnancy test would be right..The pain is normal, if you have any blood then you should definately see a Dr. Right away.

Depends how sensitive your test is. I used first response which is effective from 3days before your period is due. So if your last period was july 6 and you have a 28 day cycle you would be due august 3 so f.R. Would be ok to use from july 30.
I am now 7+1 and have had light period pain like cramps throughout - not bad but I can feel them. My doctor said obviously its just something I get when pregnant.

Yeah, I was talking about the actual age of the fetus, which is two weeks, but I would be considered a month pregnant. I took an equate brand test, and an e.P.T., both on aug. 3rd, and got positive results both times. Smile
