Hello all. This is more of a hello and some info about my pregnancy.
I'm Kady, I have a 16yo Daughter and my Fiancé has 2 sons, 15 and 11. I am 36.
Me and my Fiancé decided we were ready to TTC. I had my Nexplanon implant taken out on 1st March.
Had my first period (first as in without hormones) on 10th March, once that was finished. we had fun trying .. then on the 3rd April .. BFP!! I am shooketh! I am so impatient. and I just had a gut feeling, so I took 2 tests really early. before my period was due (the tests weren't early detection) even though I knew it was too early. but I just thought id give it a go. they were negative and even though I knew it was too early I accepted I wasnt pregnant (so I thought) then as soon as I hit period due date I thought what the hell, ill just use this last test. and it was positive! instantly. I was shocked. shaking. so excited. and it felt too good to be true! so I went and bought another test to confirm cos I just couldnt believe it. and it was also positive. So thats my story haha.
I'm now in panic/worry mode, knowing I have at least 5 weeks before I even see a midwife. I've spent so much time googling things and worrying this wont last. But I know this is a normal way to be and I just need to live in the moment.
Symptoms so far are tiredness. mild cramping, Frequent urination, thirst, brain fog (although not sure I can blame pregnancy on that as google tells me baby brain doesnt occur just yet) and also very mild nausea.
I really want to join a message board where I can speak to people who are at similar stages to me (or any stage tbh) when I was pregnant with my daughter i found a really great community site where I made a lot of friends and id really like that again. I think its really nice having someone to chat to and go thorugh the process with. I'm new to message boards so not sure if this works the same way or not.
sorry for the gibberish and long talk! I'm just excited!!!
anyone feel free to share their stories!
