Okay. i am pregnant I found out about 5 weeks ago through a dollare store pregnancy test. I am a pregnancy junkie so i bought up a few of them and took them 1-2 weeks apart. Number 4 came up positive. I look like im 5-6 months but that doesnt mean much because i looked 3-4 before i got preg (LOL) but I can feel the baby(ies i hope) move. When i bend over. it seem like maybe its in a bad place so he/she moves away and when I lie on my back I can feel my uterus. i just do what i saw the drs do on my other pregnancy visits. It seems to be almost to my navel about one to two sections on your finger away. And sometimes I feel a lump to one side. my uterus is firm but the lump is firmer. I cant go by ovulation dates b/c I didnt have any menses. I usually feel that little pinch when I ovulate but i didnt feel anything this time. I think im like 3 months. What do you all think? ( This is my 4th preg)

Well if you were taking tests 1-2 weeks apart and the 4th one was positive I would say that the 4th one would probably put you only at 4-6 weeks pg. Possibly 7, but I think that's pushing it. I am pg with my 6th, and I felt my uterus early, especially when I lay on my back, it was like a round little ball. I don't think its possible to feel baby movement, I'm pg with twins and Im now 11 weeks, Ive not felt anything yet and I KNOW what it feels like..lol I do have a lot of gas pains especially early on, and it felt like the little flutters you can get, but I know its not the baby. I take it you havent seen a dr yet? That's really the only way your gonna find out how far along you really are. Especially since you weren't charting when getting pg. Do you have the dates of the times you took your hpt? I do know that when you use a $ tree test, which I love, you won't get a bfp till close to the time your due for af. Any other details you can give would probably help us determine a little better how far along you could be. But if I were you and you are supspecting yourself to be 3mo along, you really need prenatal care, and if you think twins, you really need to get things checked out. Do you have a pregnancy resource center, or crisis center in your area? I went there with my last pg because we didnt have ins. They will do an u/s and date your baby...GL

Yes, I am asking because I havent seen a dr. yet. and I know gas can be confusing so maybe that is it too. I am trying to wait for the health insurance to kick in. they said it takes 3 wks now
( before they said 2) hopefully they wont give me any problems. I dont know about crisis centers but i know i went to a low cost health place and it was terrible. It wasnt a very good expierence for me. We might end up paying this one out which could be murder to the pockets. thanx for the advice. thats I all the info i have now as i havent seen anyone yet. just my two cents. lol

Ummy -- If you haven't already done so, check out plannedparenthood (dot) org
for a location near you. They have been a lifesaver for several of my friends who did not have insurance.
Good luck!
