Computer nawk getline

I'm running the script below and get the output below against a file with
Code:
lineA=aaa
lineB=bbb
lineC=ccc
lineD=ddd

I get output:
Code:
lineC=ccc
lineD=ddd

I need the output to be:
Code:
lineB=bbb
lineC=ccc
lineD=ddd

Code:
cat filename | nawk '/lineA=aaa/ {
getline;
do {
getline
print
 } while ( $1 != "lineD=ddd" )
}'

I can go further up the file for my starting value and get what I need but I just need to figure out why it's skipping the first line of what it finds when it prints the output.

Thanks in advance.
