Early in October I
started feeling weird period pains, period wasn't due yet but I felt
that maybe I am pregnant and did a test, which showed 1 stripe. Even
though I was a little bit upset I still had faith and took few tests
with us on our honeymoon. In the middle of our holiday we found out
that I am pregnant.
My husband was totally
calm, but I felt that deep down I am panicking, I guess started
realising that from now on our lives have to change for good.
We really enjoyed the
rest of our honeymoon, I didn’t have any problems with nausea or
anything else. But possibly the fact that our flight back home was
like a never ending moment (7 hours flying, then transit for 9 hours
and then another 6 hours flying) since then I didn’t feel that
great.
As I didn’t really
know what to do – to go to see doctor straight away or to wait, I
did a small research via Internet and called few Gps and only after
that called my gp to book an appointment. Appointment was very brief,
she checked my blood pressure at least 4 times, gave me Emma's Diary
magazine, and my Pregnancy note book (which will have information
about myself and baby development throughout my pregnancy).
Visible changes in
my body: breast are a bit bigger
How do I feel:
tired, nauseous, worried (I check every time if I have bleeding,
thinking am I still pregnant) and at the same time happy when I feel
sick, as it means baby is still there.
Cravings: just
everything I feel like (my cravings change every day)
Any other changes:
stopped drinking coffee in the morning, started drinking green tea,
have weird after-taste after every meal or snack (very annoying),
wake up in the middle of the night to go to toilet (which isn’t
great as after that I cant fall asleep), breast tenderness, increased
sense of smell, I also have lots of spots like before period.
Baby: According
to the time when we conceived our baby I am sure baby is around 6
weeks, but according to doctors calculations its 8 weeks (which still
doesn’t make any sense to me).I guess we will get proper due date on our first appointment with a midwife.
Did we tell anyone:
I am very tempted to our closest family members. It is impossible to
hide from my mum and not to tell her, but I am still trying to
convince her that I am not pregnant. After we came back from holiday
she said straight away she said my face changed, my voice changed and
was asking loads of question if I am pregnant..)
How did you feel at these early stages?
