    Anxious

    I recently found out I was pregnant. First I took 2 HPT and they both came back positive but I didn't believe it. I did not have a period in December and dont remember one in Nov. either. But to me it seemed normal because I was on the DEPO shot for 4yrs  which caused my periods to always a little off track. So Monday I went to planned parent hood took another test and came back positive, that makes 3+....I couldnt believe it, I was so excited yet scared at the same time. In december I started noticing the weight gain, but I thought well maybe I am eating to much. Now that I am in january my belly is growing. I feel fine during the day but at night I feel as if my belly seems to get bigger. I am scheduled to have my first Dr. Visit this monday, but that is only to do the initial blood work. They have estimated that I am 2months or 9wks. I think that I am farther then 2months. The only symptoms I have are Fatigue and SORE breast having to pee pee alot and my stomach is starting to harden. I havent been really hungry nor I am I having morning sickness (thank god) My issue is that I am freaking out and really anxious to actually find out how far along I really am. I guess I feel gulity because I didnt know I was pregnant and I was of course going out and drinking. I haven't even started taking the prenatal pills yet, the Dr. Office is suppose to give me a prescription.

    Is anyone in my same boat or know what I am going thru?

    Danie, don't feel guilty.  There is nothing you can do to go back and change things.  What matters now is what you do to stay healthy and have a healthy pregnancy.  The Dr can give you a prescription.  I was on prenatals for about a month before I found out I was pregnant.  My Dr changed mine when I went in for my first visit.

    It sounds like we are having a lot of the same symptoms, fatigue, sore breast, loss of appetite.  Make sure that you are getting plenty of rest and eating small meals every 2-3 hours to keep your energy level up.  For example, in the morning before work, I usually have some cereal and milk or toast with peanut butter, I snack on fruit or nuts later in the day before and after lunch and for dinner, I will have a vegetable and some chicken...whatever I can put down.

    Congratulations again and I wish you all the best.

    Live life to the fullest.

     You could go to Wal-Mart and get an OTC prenatals. Yea, I know how you feel about the pregnancy thing. I took 3 tests and still didn't believe it. I had an ultrasound this past week and I'm only 6 weeks along. It really hasn't hit me yet that I am actually pregnant. And it probably won't until I hear the heartbeat. I drank some strong alcohol about a week and a half before I actually found out. Don't feel guilty about that. Just take it easy. I wish you the best of luck!!!

    Hey. i just joined today but i am in a similar situation. I just found out from the doc. that i was pregnant about 2 wks ago and i have been since december. i didnt remember getting my period in the month of jan. and then i started to get sick for like 2/3 days and i started throwing up blood. my s.o. was really scared and took me to the hospital and thats where we found out. Now my stomach is constantly hurting and i have the worst case of morning sickness i swear. i will be fine for a few days and then i will be sick for like 3 more. i am really scared and havent been to the doc yet. and i am having a really hard time dealing with it all. Not many people are being very supportive. and we are all kind of in shock still. i really want to be happy about it all but am finding it really hard to get excited about the whole thing. i am so scared and i really dont know what all to do except to go to the doc.s and i dont know much of anything else i should be doing to prepare myself. so i guess i hope that my story lets you know that you are not the only one that is anxious.
