Life at 30

I got an organizer from my Dr

It comes with a DVD, calendar, and infos

I was nervous about going to the Dr yesterday that I came 20 minutes late. As soon as I came in, I was asked to provide a urine sample. I did wonder about this request since I specifically remember giving the lab urine and blood sample last week, but I thought nothing of it. I did my business, and gave it to them anyway. Soon after, the girl who works there took my measurements and blood pressure. When I finally saw my Dr the first thing he said was, "Congratulations! You really are pregnant!" Now, I've known about this for weeks but I decided to keep mum about it to everyone but my  husband.

Events leading up to the confirmation
It all began before our trip to Vancouver. I usually keep track of when that time of the month comes, and when I thought I was getting mine I started having cramps. It felt like someone punched me in the stomach but the pain subsided after 15 minutes. After that faithful day, I started wondering why my period didn't come which led to having an inkling that I might be pregnant. Days turned into a week and my suspicion grew stronger since I'm the kind of girl who never misses her period. Our trip to Van was fast approaching so we decided to wait for my period to come, and if it doesn't come when we come home I'll take a home pregnancy test. So it was decided. We had fun in our trip but after the end of each night I was dead as a log. Thinking back, the trip was just too tiring for me. Coming back, my mother in law was nice enough to give us huge crabs for dinner (I think my in law just wants to make sure my husband gets fed but that's another blog entry) which he ended up eating by himself coz I couldn't stand the site of it! Just looking at it made me queasy that I didn't even want it in the house. In Van though we had too much seafood so I thought I was just sick of 'em. When we finally bought the pregnancy test I was too nervous to do the test. We were getting a bit excited about the thought of me pregnant (my husband especially) that if we get a negative we'd be disappointed. So, there I was peeing in a stick too nervous to look. The instructions said to wait 10 minutes before reading the  result but I was reading it in 2 mins. As soon as I saw the result, I checked the box again. I was confused by what I saw. Does it mean I'm pregnant or not? The sign I got was a bold vertical line and a faint horizontal line. What does it mean? I finally went downstairs in confusion telling my husband I don't know what the result means. He looks at the stick and asks for the instructions. After a couple of minutes of analyzing he says, "I think this means you're pregnant." I read the box again, and it says it doesn't matter how faint the horizontal line is, if there's a line it means you're pregnant. We weren't too sure about the result so we decided to try again 3 days later and we got the same result! So we thought okay then maybe I am but the box also warns people about chemical pregnancy (A chemical pregnancy is the clinical term used for a very early miscarriage. In many cases, the positive pregnancy test was achieved before the woman’s period was due but a miscarrige occured before a heartbeat was able to be seen on an ultrasound.) I don't know why they put that in the box but it made me think the whole pregnancy was just in my head. Monday came and I finally made a phone call to my Dr to book for an appointment. 


I'll be telling my family tonight after work and his family next week so if by chance you read this entry before we get a chance to tell our families keep this news quiet for now thanks! :)
