hihis annie
welcome! and congrats!
yeah, i had the same encounter as you..
2weeks ago, i was out having dinner, then i felt those kindda pre-menstral cramps and rushed to buy sanitary pads...
and having a bad backache, i sat on my massage chair until i got muscle ache (but that took away my back pain) - u know Chinese believe that massages are a no-no during pregnancy, so anyways,
a few days later, my AF still didn't arrive and i got a BFP.. [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]
okies, enuf of my ramblings, what you need to look out for.. hmm those 2x mummies are definitely super experienced with it..
but my 2 cents worth
- avoid carrying heavy things (depending on ur constitution, some pple can take heavier loads, personally i cannot even carry 4kg stuff)
-rest lots, try not to exercise too much (some women can take it, some cannot - i couldn't so i MS the first time)
- schedule a gynae appointment if you ever see spotting, else can wait till 5-6weeks or 7 weeks until ur beta hcg is ~1600-2000, then at least u'll see a sac (waterbag),
- at 7weeks, you'll definitely need to see the bb heartbeat...
