Hello waves
I found out yesterday in pregnant (1st). We were trying (me somewhat reluctantly if I'm honest), so it shouldn't be a surprise, but I'm quite unprepared.
I think I'm pleased, though actually I think I'm a mixture of emotions. I'm happily married, in a decent house, we've both got decent jobs, family live nearby etc, which is why we thought the timing was good, I've just never been very maternal, and have lots of issues relating to anxiety about medical thing and needles, which has made me delay trying to get pregnant.
But here I am, and 3 tests show very clearly that I am pregnant (the clearblue says 2-3 weeks post conception, which makes sense, which fits with my last period being 4 weeks ago.
I only tested yesterday because I'd had a really vivid dream about getting a pregnant result, the night before!!
My current thinking is that I don't do anything (other than take the vits, and be nice to myself), for about a week and retest, in case I miscarry very early, but if all is well by next weekend, then I need to get my butt into gear.
I currently don't have a gp, so I'll need to sign up to one- shall I tell them when booking appointment that I'm a very, very nervous newly pregnant woman? Last time I saw a doctor, I burst into tears just being in the room. This pregnancy malarkey is going to be HARD.
I'm getting period type cramps, with occasional sharp pains if I twist or something. The internet says they are normal so I'm trusting in that for now.
When will morning sickness start? I'm not good with vomiting (having done it only twice in 15 years).
I was also thinking, do I need to buy some pajamas, so.that if I end up in hospital with a miscarriage, or something else, I have something to wear - I literally don't have anything at present.
My best friend is 6 months pregnant, I should probably talk to her...
