The 5th week

The next week went on a bit slow. Lots of hopes and expectations. We decided to share with our family only after we had done the next checkup and confirmed that everything was well.
I have a strong faith in the almighty and I was feeling everything will be allright.
When we visited the doctor,she told us that if everything was going right, there will be a aminiotic sac which must have formed which will be protecting the baby all throughout the pregnancy. We did the ultrasound and indeed it was formed. We were excited!!! Everything was happening as per nature’s plan. GREAT!! This is the beginning. :)

My first realization

I started getting very bad cramps in my stomach. You know the usual cramps just before your periods. But it was too bad. For a min or two, I would sit holding my stomach in pain and breath or have some hot water or put a hot water bag on my stomach. The pain used to then subside down. My hubby used to be very supportive. This went on for a week and no periods. I suspected something different is happening to me and we took an appointment with the doctor. We went to the doctor with lot of excitement hoping that the test will be positive.
It was a long wait for us, just so because the time was not passing. Finally we were called in and doctor asked us some routine questions. Then I had this urine test. It tested positive. Then to confirm the doctor did an ultrasound test and we could see a small dot in my uterus.
Wow, our joys knew know bounds. :) But the doctor wanted to be sure that the embryo was growing well. He called us for a check-up the following week. He said it might be the 4th week, but since my periods were irregular, they could not confirm it. Though we were happy, we had to be wait for another week to really be sure that it was all REAL!! The magic was happening!! Yipppppee
