I started thinking I might be pregnant when:
I was feeling really hostile and emotional for 2 weeks. The doctor told me I would probably get my period the week of 7/24, but I never did.
|
|
| |
I found out I was pregnant when I:
Took a second home pregnancy test. The first one was negative. I took a second one 5 days later - made my purchase at the dollar store, went to Publix, and carried one of their styrofoam coffee cups to the restroom. I took the test and didn't notice the faint positive test line until I went to throw it away. I couldn't believe it! I had to take another test the next morning to make sure it was real.

I felt:
Stunned. Worried. Happy. Fearful.
|
|
| |
The first person I told was:
Alex.
|
|
| |
They reacted by:
Not much reaction. He couldn't say much because we were in a restaurant with friends. He did express his concern that it was too soon after my miscarriage in July.
|
|
| |
The first ultrasound was:
Not yet. Will probably be next month.
|
|
| |
At my first prenatal visit I learned that:
Not yet. It will be Friday, 8/26.
|
|
| |
My baby will be born:
Around April 10 or so. Not too sure yet, as I did not have a cycle after my miscarriage and can't accurately date this pregnancy. My miscarriage was on July 3,2004, so 40 weeks from then would fall on the 10th of April.

|
| |
The strangest symptom of pregnancy I had this month was:
Not many physical symptoms at all. I didn't think I was pregnant for a while, as I didn't get the cramping, the tenderness, or the nausea like I did last time. Now, however, queasiness is setting in.
I did have serious PMS-type moodiness and hostilities!
|
|
| |
My hopes:
I just want to carry this baby to term and give birth to a healthy baby.
|
|
| |
My fears:
Another miscarriage! I keep checking to see if I'm still experiencing symptoms. I look for blood all the time. I am so afraid of losing this baby that I can't find it in me to be too excited.
