I didn’t want to post on this but am really worrying so much about the whole thought off pregnancy. I have only just turned 19 I’ve Ben with my partner for just over 2 years. It’s all a big shock for us both because we never expected this what’s so ever my anxiety is through th roof. I don’t know where to start or what to do any help.

Oh bless you. Firstly try to calm down as that won't help your anxiety. Make an appointment with your doctor and explain to them how your feeling and they can help. They will be able to book you a midwife appointment and that's normally between 8-10wks pregnant you'll see her. Have you told your family? A lot of stuff happens in stages through pregnancy so it wont all come at once. If you still live at home you can go to your local council about housing and they will have information about what to do. If you want this baby then congratulations it's a wonderful and yes stressful time but there is always help either on here of leaflets. But best bet talk to your doctor x

Hi, my family don’t know yet. Am just still struggling to get my head around it because I am bleeding and have really bad pains, and I have called the hospital they have told me to wait 3 days... but 3 days seams a long way away right now and I am panicking worrying sick

Are you bleeding heavily or is it more like spotting? If its more like spotting it could be implantation bleeding so your egg is trying to attach itself to your womb. It could also be around the same time as your period would start. I had spotting at 6wks with cramps and just took myself to A+E but I had also had a miscarriage 7months before, but I had to wait a couple of days to be seen. It is stressful as you really want to know what's going on. Try and take some paracetamol only and a warm bath. If you get too much pain just take yourself A+E or call the early pregnancy unit again. Hope everything is ok x

Hi is there a close family member or friend you can talk to. Try not to stress and maybe book in to see your doctor
