I can't wait for my first scan either i am so excited. I can't wait to be a mummy! I think my partner knew i was preg before i did haha! I hope you have a wonderful pregnancy, good luck!!!

yeah. ive been having slight cramps on and off with no blood. this is also my first pregnancy, ive been paranoid about miscarriage and stuff. but I also took about 3 tests that were possitive to actually believe I was pregnant! I tried for less than a month! I am so happy =]

cngratulations Mariee2009! I took another test yesterday just to make sure i was still pregnant! hehe!! it took me 7 months to conceive! i was starting to worry that i was infertile! i am so happy and so is my partner. good luck. =]

congratulations mariee2009!

Hello - I just found out I am pregnant 2 weeks ago (8 weeks pregnant currently). I had the same issue. I prolonged taking a pregnancy test because I was having "menstral" cramps and thought my period would be coming soon. My doctor told me the cramps are from the uterus growing and preparing for pregnancy. I double checked a book a bought on pregnancy and it said the same. 8 weeks and I still get cramps now and then. Today I am scheduled for my first ultrasound. VERY nervous! Best of luck to you!!

fallen: how did your ultrasound go? =)

congrats to all of you!

It went wonderful! Looks like I am only 7 weeks along, but baby looks healthy and had a healthy heart beat. Very excited to start this journey!

aww, im happy to hear that! i cried at my ultrasound a few weeks ago. i had a blighted ovum in february.. so i was scared there wasnt going to be anything in there again this time. i keep the ultrasound picture on my kitchen counter in a frame to remind me every day how lucky i am <3 im very glad that your ultrasound went great! once they see/hear the heartbeat your chance for miscarriage drops to about 3%! which, when i was at the doc, was the best news in the world to hear. so dont worry about the cramping.. everything seems to be going great for you

Hi i have also just found out i am pregnant which took 9 pregnancy tests for me to believe it haha, but i am also getin little pains now and again but also now and again i get a little brown discharge when i wipe.. Not to sure if this is normal, has any1 else had this problem? Sam

I havent personally had it Pammie123, but I have heard of implantation bleeding, which is just very light bleeding from the egg planting itself into the uterine wall! I wouldnt sweat it, but If you get more pain and bleeding, make sure you tell your doctor.

hello i have recentley had a miscarraige about three months ago it started of with really bad pains then i started bleeding, i am now 6 weeks pregnant for the second time i am having really bad sickness and it all seems good this is my first pregnancy two, but the best thing is not to worry about the pains if they are really bad then maybe go in for an early scan xx

Im 8 weeks pregnant and also experiencing menstrual like cramps. It's my first pregnancy and don't know if its normal. Will it ever stop? I dont think i will be able to bare these cramps anymore

Hi. I'm 5w4d and i had (WARNING: TMI) light pinkish spotting, yesterday, w/brownish stains, then nothing in the evening and nothing today. I don't have cramps nor AF symptoms. We're praying this is not another CP. My u/s is on 07/23 to see what is going on inside. Congrats to everyone expecting. We had DET/IVF on 06/23.

Am also expiriencing the same, this is my second preggo, i miscarried the first one but sure do this one feels different than the first one, am cramping with mild back aches and it feels like am starting my period.

some cramps r normal but if u have bleeding then see doctor. i had some brown spotting when wiping with my first and was scared 2 death but everything was ok in the end! congrats 2 all u who r goin 2 b mums soon!!! i am ttc baby no 3 so hopefully will soon be preg 2!
