Cramping, so nervous!

Danielle

Hello all!

I'm new here and just found out I am pregnant on Sunday (just 2 days ago!), 5 weeks and 1 day. My boyfriend, of 7 years, and I are so excited for our first baby.

But in the midst of all of the exitement, I am ABSOLUTELY terrified. My insurance doesn't begin until May 1st therefore it will be at least 2 weeks until I am able to visit a doctor. I'm cramping like I would with a heavy period (not super bad -- I'd say 3/10 on a pain scale). I had some brown spotting, MAYBE the size of a dime earlier. It feels like someone if kneading my uterus!!

I am so scared, given that it's early and I can't go to the doctor. I take a pregnancy test every day just to make sure it's still there :(

Help me stay sane!
