I don't know if it's like this for all pregnant women? but time seems to go verrrrryyy slowly.
I found out I was pregnant, dear god, only 3 weeks ago today, and it feels like it's been months! I can't believe it's only been three weeks!!!
The countdown to getting out of the danger zone is passing so slowly.
A few new things:
- I had spotting on Wednesday which was 7 weeks and 2 days. Scared me so much all the blood drained from my body, and I became cold! It's crazy the affect it had on me. It was pink, not good, but it only lasted half a day, and 5 days later, has yet to return.
- I met with my Naturopath, who gave me some more supplements to take along with my prenatal. She wants me to go in for an allergy test in 3 weeks! which is $280.00!!!! fml
- I have been working out still, but taking it easy, my trainers at my gym have been AMAZING! and really understanding and accommodating. Love my gym!
- I am too scared to weigh myself, but I know I have put on about 10 lbs *gulp* I'm overweight so I'm not supposed to put on more than 25 my entire pregnancy! (good luck!) I have belly overhang, my arms are getting un-toned already and I can't fit in my favorite blazer :( I decided to TRY and start eating better, though I had McDonalds for Breakfast (damn girl) not going to help
- I have a mid-wife appointment on Tuesday. I suspect this is when shitt gets real? It's my first baby-type appointment, so I'm really looking forward to it! I hope a mid-wife is what I think it is ? I really have no idea, I just don't want them to deter me from having my epidural! haha
I guess I'll write more after my appointment, and hopefully will know more! :)
Well, some sites say I'm six weeks, others seven. Regardless I'm officially over half way through the danger zone of the first trimester. With each day that passes, the likelihood of me losing our baby lessens.
I did have a few scary moments over the past two weeks. 1 I had a small bit of blood, so minor, and I totally wrote myself off, deleted all my apps, just done. Yet I was still there, then I had a day of extreme lower back pain and of course, half wrote myself off. But I'm still here and feeling good about it all.
Work has been so busy that most days I forget I'm pregnant during the day. Then I come home and surf the forums and read my "What to expect when you're expecting" book.
A few things I notice though.
1) I don't care what I eat, I know that's TERRIBLE to 'give up', I hope it's not like this the entire time, I'm only supposed to gain 25 lbs haha
2) I all the sudden LOVE yogurt! after a distain that has lasted 10 years
3) My baby hates greasy food! everytime I eat some, I feel sick for a few hours
I have been able to tell my three closest friends, which is fun. But I am starting to feel bad for my parents so we are going to surprise and tell them!
We are painting the baby room this week, and I am buying my friends furniture off her from her baby and we're setting up the baby room then I'll have my parents over and we'll show them our new décor.. haha i'm sure they'll be shocked.
Outie for now
Well It's been 8 days since I found out I was pregnant, I've gone through cramps, blood tests, but no bleeding. I feel crampy and crabby and really fat but those are my only symptoms to day.
Tomorrow I hit 6 weeks, halfway through the danger zone, and the past 8 days have felt like a lifetime, I can't imagine what my next 6 weeks will be like!
I have an interview with the mid-wives at the end of the month, my doctor will be on maternity leave herself when I birth, so she suggested a mid-wife. As long as I can still get the drugs, I'm ok with whoever wants to delivery my baby.
I have to stay off the forums though! they are turning me nutty, thebump.com, whattoexpect.com, cafemom.com, babycentre.com - the only things I end up reading about are miscarriages, scares, low HGC numbers ... just sad stories that run my mind crazy with fear and doubt. I have to stop reading them, realistically only 15% of pregnancies end up in MC's, hey I'm at 100% but who's counting.
On another worrisome note. I'm supposed to keep my heart rate below 140 at the gym, and today I pushed it to 178, I'm so upset with myself, and my trainer yelled at me. I'm just too damn competitive. I hope I don't lose my baby over this ...
Check in another day yo!
Well it's been 1 year since my devastating loss of my last baby. Though I was only three weeks, it was very hard.
Here we are, March 9, 2013. Since my last loss, I have joined a gym, lost 17 lbs, got myself healthy, have been seeing a naturopath regularly and getting my body 'baby ready'. I've detoxed, cleansed, popped by body full of nutrients, and we were set to start trying again in April, when BAM. got a positive Pregnancy test on Sunday March 3rd!!!!
I went to the doctors the next day, and my immediate reaction was sadness, and overwhelming fear that I was going to lose this baby too! :( she sent me to the hospital for blood tests to give me peace of mind that I was pregnant and going strong, my numbers on Tuesday were 1345 and Thursday was 2598!!!! so I am well pregnant and progressing OK, I'm 5 Weeks and 4 Days today, so already further along than before, but every cramp and pain in my tummy sends me in total fear!
I have a better feeling this time though, so here's to a sticky bean!!!!
