Every woman has different pregnancy symtoms, the only way you will find out is if you do a test, go buy one or go see your gp.

Hi! Being late for you period is a sign that you definately need to do a test. I know it is scary, but you need to have the time to decide what you should do for the best, and start taking folic acid as soon as possible. You can go to your GP in confidentiality, or to the nearest family planning clinic. Take a close friend with you for support. Please let us know how you get on. Hope you get the result you want. xxx

Hey....congratulations!!! Laughing

The smiley faces would indicate that you are happy about this, so that's great news, and I know the not-knowing is more of a worry than anything, especially when you are worried about what your parents may say!

Have you told the father yet? What did he say? Have a really great pregnancy, and welcome to the world of being a mum-to-be! I am 17 weeks pregnant with my first and feeling amazing, so do keep checking in for a catch up if you want to! Take care, hon xxxxx Laughing
