Yes, I'm happy. I am two and a half weeks along. It hasn't sunk in just yet. And I am beginning to wonder what to expect within the next few weeks...
So far, I am just really tired, and I have this sorta of 'tight' feeling at the bottom of my stomach, slightly feels like cramps before my period. I also have been up since 4 am with this dull headache that WILL NOT GO AWAY!
I am apprehensive and excited at the same time about what's to come....oh yeah, and this baby was very much planned by the way:)

congrats! :)
Its usually all in your head from excitement but its normal feeling all of those things you said. Soon you'll get cravings like crazy and maybe feel the morning sicknesses. I used to get nauseous and extremely dizzy while i was in the shower I almost fainted but I think it was from the heat and humidity so try taking cool showers if it happens to you.
For most women, pregnancy lasts about 40 weeks or 280 days. This time frame is calculated from the first day of your last menstrual period. If you have any illnesses or family health problems its extra important to make an appointment with a health care professional to help you know how to keep yourself and the baby safe.
Walking is great exercise for pregnant women. You're very early so some regular exercising is normal for now.
Careful with what medicines you may take for those headaches ask your doctor or try natural remedies (google natural home remedies)
You should expect
-Frequent Trips to the Bathroom
-Fatigue. Utter exhaustion is a very early sign of pregnancy. Fatigue is a result of high levels of the hormone progesterone
-Morning (and Noon and Night!) Sickness
-Sore (and Enlarged) Breasts.
those are the early symptoms of pregnancy, you'll start feeling them soon. Please take care! and enjoy your pregnancy - Its beautiful! a LIFE is growing inside you right now

Congratulations!!
The headache is most likely due to stress. Not bad stress. You're anxious, nervous, and happy all at the same time.Take everything one day at a time. Every day is a bit different, enjoy these first few months if you can. They seem like the boring ones because you can't feel the baby yet but they go quick. Eat right, get enough rest, and take your vitamins. It all helps.
Good Luck!!!!!

Congratulations! Is this your first pregnancy?
ok.. what to expect?!
Tiredness, period pain cramps, sore boobs, heartburn, hungryness-cravings! Nausea, maybe even vomiting..?
more and more tiredness! or you may not even feel a thing and be one of the lucky ones!!
From the day i found out, I was so sick with my first pregnancy, vomiting -the works! I am now almost 7 and a half weeks with my second and this has been a breeze compared to my first SO FAR! Slight nausea if i dont eat, sore boobs, a little heartburn and tiredness but thats it so i see that as pretty lucky. Anyway, again congrats! Goodluck with your pregnancy!

congratulations! that is all normal early pregnancy symptoms, the headache is the hormones just wait your breasts will begin to really hurt for a couple of months, but wearing a good bra will help with that. the cramping is your uterus stretching you will probably keep getting the cramping for a couple months. The only medicine the doctor will ok for you to take is tylenol for the headache.

Hey believe it or not I'm in the same boat. I just had my HPT yesterday morning and the second one to reconfirm. Both showed positive. I'm excited but just realize lately have been feeling very tired. Just feel like sleeping only. Stomachache has been there too. I thought I was gonna get my period. Just got confirmation from doctor that I'm pregnant but should be around 2-3 weeks only. My My just dunno what to expect 9 months down the line.

Congrats!
Well, these are all part of being pregnant.
The headache is from all the excitement and all the concerns that you are feeling.
In time it will go away.
Relax and enjoy this special moment.
