First G.P. Appointment
I had my first appointment with the GP today. Went along with my sis-in-law as my husband lives far away in the States. I guess she was even more nervous than I was......although we were both so so excited!! We got the doctor to do another pregnancy test making it the fourth one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Wow! I am soooooooooo pregnant! She gave me the wand to keep for my baby's album.......... baby's? babies'?? Its funny because a few people seem to think I may be having multiple birth, even my dad-in-law. Its confirmed, I am five weeks along..............and due date is 4th December, same day predicted by Baby Crowd and all the other ovulation calendars!!!!!!!!!!!! Aren't those computer things just clever?????
We had so many questions for her and she educated us as much as she could, bless her!!.................so now, I wait to hear from the midwife!! So far, I feel alright, than God! |
Happy to be here!
Really excited to be doing this. I must start from the very beginning, this would be the longest entry I believe.......as I cannot help relieving the memories of the past two weeks or so.
We got married a little over a week ago. Shortly prior to this, my other half and I had decided that we would start trying for a baby. So we did a little research on the net and came up with all sorts of ovulation calendars........and we were constantly calculating throughout the month of Feb, counting down to the ovulation period itself -about the 7-10March. Fortunately, it happened to fall on a weekend, and did we get busy??? My ever-researching man had read somewhere that we could check as early as the 18th March - 5 days prior to my period to see if we had 'scored'!
We forgot all about our 'deeds' and threw ourselves into planning our up-coming wedding which was less than 2 weeks away. So knackered were we preparing for the wedding that we completely forgot that we were supposed to check on the 18th. On the 22nd March, a day before my period was due, on our way back from the airport, dropping off the last of our guests, we decided to buy the home kit at the pharmacy. Went straight home and did the test...............wow! there was the faint blue line gradually coming up!! We didnt bellieve it as it was so faint. We couldn't be too excited. It was somehow unbelievable that the first time we would try, it would happen just like that! I guess our inexperience with the faint blue line stole our excitement a little, we were ever so doubtful! My husband advised that we take it again first thing in the morning. Something about a higher concentration of HCG. Anyways first thing in the morning, he reminded me........it was sooooooo on our minds!!!!!!!!!!! And he came with me and we did the test again! Another blue line, at least darker than the first!!! We were reallyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy excited now. All day, I kept going to the bathroom to look at the test results, I could hardly believe we were going to be parents!!!!!!! He noticed me doing that and couldn't help teasing!!!!!!!!!!
We had to buy a third home kit 3 days ago as were still a bit doubtful! It came up as positive! This time, we believe because this kit actually explains everything. It clearly says that even if the lines come up faintly, it doesnt affect the result, positive is positive and negative is negative!!! Fabulous!!
So far I feel good!! My boobs are heavier and tender (seriously)!! But I dont feel nauseous at all just tired! This feels so surreal! The begginning of a journey! I'm going to get my other half to write his thoughts on this blog too..............as he is even more excited than I am.........he is starting to say its a website for mothers , although he did all the research and discovered it somehow!! Well, fingers crossed, I may get lucky!! |
