so tired, so sick, and oh so emotional

Hello...well here I am pregnant again. I have 2 daughters, one is 9 and the other is 14 months. I am excited about this baby. I am praying that it is the boy that I have dreamed of having. I have had my fair share of scares this pregnancy. At 9 wks I was taken to the emergency room, where after waiting for hours was told by the doctor that I was hemorrhaging in my uterus.

I was an emotional wreck; they prescribed me pain medicine and then sent me home and put me on bed rest until I had a follow up visit with my regular ob/gyn. I was very nervous because I have lost 2 babies before, one to a miscarriage and one to a tubal pregnancy. My fiancée was scared for me to do anything so I sent the kids to their grandparent's house so I could get some needed rest.

Well now I am in my 11th week and I feel ok. Now I am battling with awful nausea, tiredness, and feeling like a train just ran over me. I want to cry at the drop of a dime and, as my fiancée says, I am snappy at everyone and everything. I will be so happy when this passes.

I'm Pregnant!!

I just knew that I was pregnant. I hadn't had my period in a whole month and 4 days. I can't tell you how many tests I had bought previously, but let's just say for awhile I was broke. In the beginning the test said negative.

So I decided to wait to take one and since I never got my period I was sure I was going to wait. My boyfriend knew I was but never said anything. So I waited and took a digital test and it said PREGNANT!!!!! Our whole outlook on life has change and I am happy!!! We are expecting in July 2007.

My first!!!

My fiancée and I found out we were pregnant almost two weeks ago! This wasn't planned, but we are both still very excited.

I am a little over 6 weeks, and I am a little worried. I am not really having too many symptoms at the moment. I am just a little bit more tired than usual, cranky, and I have to pee a lot, but I have not had any morning sickness. And since this is my first pregnancy, I have been reading everything I can get my hands on, and they say morning sickness is a sign of a healthy pregnancy.

Now I know a lot of people who say they never had it and they had a perfectly healthy baby. I guess I will just have to wait until my doctor's appointment.

brand-new

I was told I would have a difficult time conceiving a baby, as I have a condition called PCOS, which causes cysts on the ovaries. I went on medicine, and also boosted my thyroid. I have been off caffeine for six months, and started exercising 3 times per week.

Because I am over 35, and was told I would have difficulty, so I went off birth control. After four months I was surprised when my period was late. Surprise! I am pregnant; about 6 weeks along. I am TERRIFIED of miscarriage. Right now I am thinking positive and eating very healthy and having my thyroid checked once a month.

Once I get to four months I will begin to believe this is really happening.

Abandoned and Scared

I found out I was pregnant about three weeks ago, when I realized that I was feeling nausea 24/7, and then took several tests (to date, five of them.) I screamed in agony when I got my first positive- I'm 20, unmarried, and going to college far away from home.
I called the father, and his reaction almost killed me. He told me to get an abortion. I refused. He said "Good luck," and hung up on me.

A week later, on Thanksgiving, he called me, and said he would pick me up from the airport. He did, and we talked, and he said he'd help take care of the baby.

2 weeks later, and he refuses to take me to my doctor's appointments, or help me in any shape, form, or fashion. He has accused me, repeatedly, of getting pregnant on purpose in order to trap him into marriage. Now I have been bleeding for two weeks, and unable to go to the doctor for two more days.

I am so worried that something bad happened to my baby.

I am stuck here, at school, without my family, with a father who just wants me to kill the baby, and a possible miscarriage. I have never been so frightened in my life.

Thanks for letting me rant here- I needed it.
