1st time pregnancy questions

[Amber127]

Has anyone JUST taken a pregnancy test? i took 3 of them yesterday. All posative. I havent made an apt yet. (which is another question...when should i make my 1st apt.?) i did the due date calculator and it said i am 5 weeks. does that sound right? im having symptoms such as... CRAMPING, dizziness, and fatigue. my last period was march 17th-22nd. ive been having these symptoms for about 2 weeks now.
im sorry...this is my first pregnancy, and im a little nervous, and not too sure what to do next. if someone could help me that would be great!   thank you so much!  
good luck to all of you!

Hey congrats ! Yes all of the symptomes above sound right and you nees to call your obgyn asap because most of the time they make you wait for your first apt , you will have to interview qith a nurse about your medical history then another apt for them to check if you are carrying fine..then finally you get to see the doctors ! The wait is annoying ...
I was pregnant cple months ago and because they wait til you re 10 weeks to give you an ultrasound , I find out at 10 weeks that it stopped growing since week 7 !!! It was such a disspointment and devastating coz I was excited ...so make sure to ask your doc if at around 7 weeks they can do ultrasound coz mos miscarriage happen around that time...
Good luck

I disagree with jennlaurin80, you CAN get a false positive if you have not received fertility treatments, I have before. BUT I seriously doubt three tests would show positive if you weren't in fact pregnant. The first thing you're going to want to do is call the dr they'll ask when your last period was and they'll set up an appointment for you where they'll probably do blood work and possibly an ultrasound, and a pelvic exam.

Congrats!  Yes, call your doctor as soon as you can, assuming they don't determine you high risk for any reason, they will schedule you for an appointment somewhere between 7-10 weeks.  They will do an internal ultrasound at that time to make sure they see a heartbeat, blood work, urine test, and ask you a laundry list of health questions.  Yes everything you are experiencing would be normal, but I would go over your list with the nurse.  Usually the make you make your first appointment with a nurse, rather than through the receptionist, so they can question you and you can ask questions. Good luck!

if you havent had any fertility trigger shot then there is no such thing as a false positive...so CONGRATS to you ! I would call tomorrow and let them know you got a positive and ask them when you can get in :) If your not already on prenatal vitamins make sure you start taking them ASAP ! I started getting dizzy spells today which are quite scary...i am 7 weeks. I have had cramping off and on since i was 4 weeks, fatigue for me started right away...ive been so tired and it doesnt seem to ever go away. I guess we should rest while we can :)) So exciting ! widhing u a happy healthy 9 months !
