Hi! Wow, seems like only yesterday I was here with my first term pregnancy.
My baby boy was born in Feb '16, and is now the world's most delightful, fun toddler. My husband and I had planned to wait 3-4 years to have another.
The last week or so, I've been dreadfully tired, but attributed it to throwing out my back moving a piece of furniture at work. Then, at 4:45 AM, I woke up with what felt for all the world like morning sickness. I've normally got a very strong stomach, but in pregnancy I woke up every day before 6 AM feeling like throwing up. Suddenly, the tiredness was cast in a new light ... and I realized I'm about two weeks late for my period. I occasionally "skip" periods because I have PCOS and sometimes don't ovulate, which is why I didn't think anything of being so late, but I have never had morning sickness symptoms when that has happened before.
If I'm pregnant, we'll have a two year age gap instead of the four-to-five-year gap we had planned on. My workplace has good maternity leave (unusual in the United States), but of course it's always a bit terrifying to leave and be out of the loop like that. Plus, it would mean we'd need to figure out how to get a place with another bedroom before another baby grows into toddlerhood, ours is barely big enough for ourselves and one toddler.
I thought I had a pregnancy test at home, but couldn't find it anywhere. I was already planning to leave work early today, but I have four hours to go before I can buy a test and POAS.
I'm not even sure whether I want it to be positive or negative! Eek. I'm just a bundle of emotions right now. Until this morning sickness episode, I hadn't even considered the possibility, and now it looms so large. Hold my hand until this work day passes??
