Hi, I have a few questions, I'm at day 10 dpo I had sex on the 2 week mark before my period (not late yet!! still have 4 days to go!) but I also had sex a week before that to the day (2 days after my last period) both times without pertection. I SWEAR I'm pregnant. My boobs have never hurt more then they have been, they feel huge and I'm getting SHOOTING pains that feel worse then menstral cramps, I was feeling nasous after every meal and sometimes in the middle of the day my back is killing me more than usual, I keep having these dizzy spells and to top it off I LOOK FAT!!! Im a skinny person and none of my jeans fit now, my belly is buldging out like im 5 months pregnant! I'm PRAYING TO GOD that I'm pregnant, literally every min. i get i ask him for a baby. But is this normal? because what if im NOT pregnant why is my body doing this. I'm craving the weirdest caca like chocolate and meat together...its weird. WELL ANYWAYS!!! pray for me that I am!!!! my boyfriend and I are trying to have a baby!!!! PRAY PRAY PRAY!

why do you want a baby so bad? you're only 18? are you still in school? do you & your boyfriend have good jobs? do you two live on your own?

Umm.

You might be bloated because your period is about to come. All of your symptoms could be pms, come to think of it.

Are you living on your own yet? Paying rent/utilities? DO you have any credit? Do you have a job? Health insurance? Does your boyfriend work? Are you out of school? Any plans to go to college? What will happen after the baby is born? Can you give him/her everything they need? It's more than just diapers and clothes, you know.

There's more to having a baby than getting pregnant and dressing it up. I sincerely hope you've thought this through.

at 10 dpo you wont have nausea dear...nausea while pregnant kicks in at about 6-8 weeks... your symptoms may be exaggerated because you want it so bad ....pms and pregnancy are pretty much identical at your stage and this is caused by progesterone...test on day 14. good luck

I think one should finish school before intentionally becoming pregnant.

I'm 21 and have my AA in child development, married, and am still scared to have a baby... I think i'm too young..Don't you want to go out and live life a little first?? Maybe be old enough to legally drink? I understand sometimes it happnes and you do you best but come on.. Trying to get pregnant at 18? How olds your boyfriend?

And I agree you still too early to have pregnancy symtoms.. I think its more wishful thinking...

Id have to agree to everyone else. I had my daughter when I was 23 and still I think it would have been better to wait awhile. I had a job was married etc etc but it is a hell of a responsibility. Go sit down and think about it, you wont be able to go out, you wont be able to go to a party its always nagging in your ears although I will not exchange my little girl for anything in the world ( she is 4 now) it takes up alot of your time - you never have time for yourself - and it costs alot of $$$. Think before you do. I hope you are not pregnant, soon you will realise what we are talking about.... A baby is not a kitten or dog you cant just put it outside it needs constant attention.......
