First trimesterI truly felt like I was gettting my period, and was tired all the time. So I decided to take a pregnancy test, and what do you know....boom, I'm pregnant! I really could not believe my eyes and had to take another test just to be sure. After 4 months of trying, we finally conceived! I am now 8 weeks along and still feel like I'm getting my period almost daily, but apparently if there is no bleeding, this is absolutely normal. My boobs are still really sore and growing, and I have been blessed with morning sickness. Someone out there should change that name because I get it all day and night. I finally got fed up and went to my MD to help relieve my symptoms, but it has been 3 days since, and I don't really feel any different - still nauseous. I have heard that when you are nauseous it means you have a higher chance of having a girl. . .so we'll see! Good luck to all of you trying out there...be patient, it will happen! (I had a misscarriage last year at 7 weeks, so we will keep our fingers crossed until we get over that 3-month hump!) Chantal sick as a dog....I'm in my 8th week and I'm 25 and have been horribly sick from being dizzy, throwing up every other day, and very exhausted and not able to eat. I was thinking about abortion just because I am so sick and I really wasn't prepared for it. I can't even work and I didn't think it was normal. But after hearing a story very similar to mine it's made me change my mind plus my boyfriend of 7 years is very supportive he makes me tea every morning before I go to work to make me feel better and has been helping out a lot. He is actually very excited to be a parent I think I'm just more scared than anything. But I think it will be worth it in the end. Thanks for the stories they help. Chantal Unexpected 2ndI am 25yrs and this is my 2nd pregnancy and it was totally unplanned. My hubby and I have a beautiful 2 yr old daughter and I just started work in another country. I've thought about abortion as I just graduated and I'm lucky to have found this job overseas.I've already had 2 abortions and am sad when I think of them. But I hate this morning sickness, which occurs 24/7, heartburn, indigestion, tiredness etc. I'm the breadwinner as my hubby baby-sits our daughter and also he did not go to uni so I don't know if he'll be able to obtain a good job to support us if I can not work anymore. Also employees are only allowed maternity leave after 12 months employment so I am unsure if I will be given maternity leave as I have only worked for a month here. But my hubby is over the moon and really wants this baby whom he believes is a boy. I just hope everything will turn out fine.....I know GOD would never put us in circumstances which we could not handle so I'll out my whole trust in Him. I'm going to start praying for my supervisors/bosses so that they may be understanding of my situation. Please Lord be with me and all the other pregnant ladies who are in need of your guidance. AMEN Rallianne stay put little oneJust got BFP after 14 months of trying for #2.Found out at 3+2 wks and had a short light bleed at 4 weeks. Going to GP tomorrow and hoping all is ok. Also experienced some cramping since period was due which is scary especially with the bleed but read threatened mc is common so fingers crossed. All being well my EDD will be 08.02.08. Soooo excited but nervous too chel Worried Sick..I’m Ashley I’m almost 3 weeks pregnant and I feel as if I'm going to lose my baby. I know what you’re all thinking but my pregnancy isn’t very easy... Well my parents hate my boyfriend. Me and my boyfriend have been fighting a lot especially yesterday and I feel very stressed out... I’m just way worried for my baby right now. Okay yeah I’m 14 but I act older. But if I really acted older don’t you think I would be a little less stressed?I had been pressured to think about a lot of things that I know I’m not going to do like Abortion or Adoption. It's not my thing so I’m going to keep my baby, but first we just need to make it through the next few months than a little bit of stress can come off me. I just am worried for my 18 almost 19-year-old boyfriend’s sake. I feel as if I’m messing his life up. But it seems all at the same time he is messing mine up by sooo much stress he is causing me right now. Well honestly I just really need somebody to talk to and I feel alone and don’t know what to do right now...Uhmm but Thank you for listening to my story...Maybe I will feel better later on.
