Michelle answers:
1.When did you find out you were pregnant? And what’s your due Date?- Found out when I was 4 weeks pregnant (1-2 by the clearblue digi test) and my due date was 20th Feb 2010 (ended up being 4 days overdue)
2.When did you tell people?- I told people straight away because I was so excited!
3.Describe your feelings when you first saw the positive HPT.- My first HPT was an internet cheapie which I thought was a negative, I threw it in the bin after 3 minutes. A few hours later I looked at the packed instructions and it was a 5 minute test, so even though you shouldn’t I got it out of the bin and there was a very light positive. I then took 6 more one after the other and timed the 5 minutes exactly and they all had a faint positive. Was a bit excited but didn’t believe it until I took a digi test the next morning! It was the longest time ever waiting for the test to develop! I was so happy to see the words pregnant that I wanted to ring everyone I knew right away, even though it was 6am hehe!
4.What first trimester pregnancy symptoms did you have if any?- I didn’t have any symptoms really, just one whole day of sickness and that was it!
5.What first change in your body did you notice during pregnancy? Which trimester did this change happen?- Sore boobs at around 6 weeks pregnant.
6.Is this your first pregnancy?- Yes
7.How many children do you have now and how many do you intend on having down the road?- It was my first baby, I will have at least one more, I wouldn’t mind having 3 altogether but probably no more than that.
8.How old are you (Or if you don’t feel comfortable sharing, just pick an age group ie: 20-25, 25-30 etc.)- I was 20 when I got pregnant, I turned 21 when I was 20 weeks pregnant.
9.What comments have people made about your pregnancy that have really upset or annoyed you?- One of my friends was turning 21 and she created an even on Facebook for her birthday and invited all our friends except me. I asked why I was not invited and she said that she said ” I didn;t bother inviting you because your pregnant so you wouldn’t be able to come anyway” umm, just because Im pregnant does not mean I cant have a social life. It really upset me and certain friends continued to arrange evenings out in front of me and not even bother to invite me! It was very frustrating, but I learnt who my real friends are during my pregnancy and now that my baby is born!
10.What comments have people made about your pregnancy which made you really happy?-My good friends telling me how I will make an amazing mum when I was in a panic! I also had a friend that was so truly happy for me and even though there weren’t any specific comments but she always made me feel so good about being pregnant and becoming a mum!
11.Do you intend on having a natural birth or using pain relief? (Of course this may change come time to delivery, but just for now… where do you stand?)- I did plan on having a natural birth and it is exactly what I got! My birth when exactly to plan and I loved it!
12.Do you plan on being a stay at home mom postpartum, or do you plan to return to work shortly after?- My get paid maternity leave for 39 weeks. I will be going back as soon as it ends in November, however I have been into works a few times to help out. I really miss working because I love my job! Although being a mum is a much better job! Hehe!
13.When did you belly pop and you became obviously pregnant?… if not there yet, just put N/A.- I didn’t really “pop” until 27/28 weeks! I kept waiting and waiting for the bump, I was so worried people though I was just fat! I knew I had finally popped when people started asking about the baby etc.
14.If you have started shopping for your baby, what was the first thing you bought?- The first thing I bought was a moses basket, I got it not long after I found out I was pregnant. The only reason I got it so early is because it was an absolute bargain! Im also not superstitions!
15.Did or are you finding out the sex of your baby?- I wanted to find out and my husband didn’t! But I got my way, as I am so impatient that I had to know! We were having a girl!
16.When you first found out you were pregnant, did you hope for 1 sex over the other?- I did want a girl, although I would have been happy either way I was swaying towards a girl!
17.Do you plan on breastfeeding or formula feeding the baby when born?- I was adamant I was going to BF and I refused to buy any bottles or formula when getting all of the babies things ready. However, I didn’t anticipate how difficult it was going to be and when Karyad was born I had a lot of difficulty. Long story short, after two days in hospital trying to get it right I gave her a bottle of formula, it broke my heart. When I went home I expressed on demand for 2 weeks, not long after 2 weeks my supply started to slow down and eventually dissapeared. Whenever I get upset about her having formula I always remind myself that she had breastmilk for two week
Richard asks…
Could this be a sign of pregnancy?
I am a 25 yr old mother of 3. My youngest will be 1 on Dec 1st. My husband and I are Catholic so we practice natural family planning(we pretty much just let things happen as they are supposed to). We had intercourse about every other day during what was supposed to be my fertile time. I have experienced some normal pregnancy symptoms. I have had constipation, fatigue, breast fullness and tenderness, stuffy nose, mild headaches. I had all those with my other pregnancies. This month, I have been monitoring my temp and cervical mucus like I did with my last pregnancy. My period is due today and I have noticed a difference in my cervical discharge the last couple days. It is watery and clear with not really any smell to it. I never noticed this before. I have also had some cramping and a pulling sensation in my muscles and ligaments in my lower abdomen. My lower abdomen also feels firm right where my uterus is. Could this possibly be pregnancy symptoms or just something that can occur from having numerous children. I should also add that I quit breastfeeding my youngest 5 months ago and have still been producing milk. In the last couple days, I have notice it is not coming out as much when I put pressure on my breasts and what does come out is thicker and cloudy. It’s not white like it used to be.
Don’t know if this will make a difference, but my last period started on Oct 26th, which was a couple days late. It was a lighter flow than normal without any pain, and only lasted about 2 1/2 days. Normally my periods are 4 -5 days, heavy flow with major cramping the first couple days.
Michelle answers:
If i was you i would take a test just to ease your mind you could be but it could also be a period thats a little later than planned with you stopping the breast feeding it couldve thrown off your bodies cycle!!! Good luck!!

Lisa asks…
How old would cave women have been when getting pregnant?
I am guessing around 13/14, unless they started their period later than we do. If this is the case why do we judge teen pregnancies as they are only doing what is natural.
(I am not a teenager, just curious about how unnatural we are now!)
Michelle answers:
I would guess as soon as they stared there period but more than likely they were prob sexually active before that. (considering cave men would just bash them on the head & take what they wanted when they wanted it). Also they were neanderthals and acted more like animals until our brains developed more. Now we know better & know its not good for underdeveloped, Mentally & physically, children to be having sex. I think its due to the human race progressing & understanding more.
