Pregnancy tests

[brenda1971]

I would just like some advice.I already have a 2 year old daughter called Emma and we are trying for a baby.I did a test last night as I was just over a week late and it was positive straight away with the lines in both the windows.What I want to know is how accurate these tests are.I am getting really bad tummy cramps like period pains.

some are 99% accurate.. I would suggest you take another one again today and then see your doctor... I did one for my last baby and like you, i had period pains but when I took the test in came up immediately.. i tried again later that night with the same results

Oh and good luck.. hope the results are correct.. will keep my fingers crossed for you Brenda

[brenda1971]

I am going to take a sample to the doctors on monday and I have an appointment on thursday so will let you know.

[Siobhan]

please do.. will be sending happy thoughts and lots of luck for the both of you

[Siobhan]

I know - I just love kids, I even thrive on getting up 3 times a night to feed!!

I will give you my two.. lovely boy and a girl...

[Jojo]

Cool - I think I should have been a childminder or something like that..

[Siobhan]

Cool - I think I should have been a childminder or something like that..

If you had been, trust me you would not want so many of them.. I used to mind kids when I was younger.. part-time when I was 16 and I didn't have any children until I was 29... I didn't even want any but I have 2 now... :rotfl::rotfl:

[Jojo]

Your probably right, though I did have Ste when I was 17, and then Ci at 26, but I expect if I had loads of them running around it would have changed my mind!! lol

[Siobhan]

My sister wanted 16.. she didn't do too bad, had 7 in the end (6 before she was 30) and the last one at the age of 40, she had just become a grandmother 6 weeks before

[Jojo]

Wow - I met someone with 8 when I had Liam - I think I would definitely stop at 4 though

[Siobhan]

Wow - I met someone with 8 when I had Liam - I think I would definitely stop at 4 though

my mum had 9 of us by the age of 34... she now has 27 grandchildren and 3 great grandchildren...
my friend had 13 brothers and sisters.. (good ole catholic irish families)

[Jojo]

You haven't wanted a big family then?? Are you going to stick with your 2??

[Siobhan]

You haven't wanted a big family then?? Are you going to stick with your 2??

yep but for different reasons... most of my family have a minimum of 3.. I just can't carry kids and my labours are horrid so I rather not get pregnant again thank you

[Jojo]

awww - thats a shame - I doubt if my hubby will let me have one more though - he did say that if I wanted another one it wouldn't be with him!!

I feel for people that suffer with bad pregnancies and labour - some don't want to understand what you go through because of having it relatively easy, without realising that the person could be desperate to have another, but the whole 9 month (and beyond) is too unbearable. Makes me sort of feel bad for having it relatively easy....

don't feel bad at all... my sister has it real easy too.. When I was pregnant on Ben I booked her to have him :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: some people are just unlucky to suffer that much but don't feel bad...

[brenda1971]

I would be happy just to have another baby and I would like a boy to go with Daughter I have.But will have to wait and See.

How long do the tummy cramps last for

[chance]

I know - I just love kids, I even thrive on getting up 3 times a night to feed!!

omg you mad women,thank heavens shannon only wakes up once a night now.

[Jojo]

omg you mad women,thank heavens shannon only wakes up once a night now.Liam only got up twice last night - 3.30 and 6.30am so getting better still...:cheer:

Good luck though Brenda - like has been said already - the cramps will go as soon as it comes back positive - I felt like I was due on, cramps and everything and then as soon as it was confirmed (by about 10 tests lol!!) they went!

[brenda1971]

Thanks for your kind works em

[Jojo]

Thanks for your kind works em:D I have everything crossed for you Brenda - I am so excited for you and pretty sure that you are - what a wonderful xmas pressie it will be. I discovered I was pregnant with Liam the day before my birthday, and it makes it all that more exciting!

[brenda1971]

I meant words

[Jojo]

lol - Thought you did hon :D

[Luna]

Good luck brenda xxxx

[RealityGap]

good luck Brenda - although I am sure that the test that you have done already is proof enough to say "congratulations" the cramping is pretty normal and doesnt normally last too long

[Trinity]

Good luck, and congratulations!
Brenda, I did tests early with both my pregnancies and they showed positive correctly both times. Most of these thing are 99% accurate, and they tend to give a false negative in the 1% error rather than a false positive.

I have two boys and NOTHING on the face of the Earth would persude me to have any more - Emz you are amazing or MAD!

[brenda1971]

Thanks I will let you all know soon

[lollymay]

congrats if you are.

i no lots of people who are pregnant
my auntie
and two of my friends who are both 16

[~charlie-lou~]

About a year ago when I was 13 I found a pregnancy test my mother had hidden in a linen cupboard. I thought "Ew, how revolting", seeing as she's 45, and very curious I decided to try it out, and was dumbfounded to see that it had come out positive. I took another one, and it still said positive!! I was astounded, but knew I couldn't be pregnant, as I was and still am a virgin. I just dismissed it as a funny fluke, and told all my friends, who proceeded to tell me that I had probably been raped/drugged/fertilised by a WC toilet seat etc. All the usual childish crap.

Well it's getting on for a year later and something I think if I had been pregnant we'd all know by now!! :rotfl:

[Siobhan]

Thanks I will let you all know soon

fingers crossed of you today brenda.. best of luck
