Hi All,
So my pregnancy story goes a little like this:
1. Came off the pill ( only went on it for 1 month for my honeymoon as i would be due on then... and i really wanted to go swimming/sunbathing in the maldives not couped up wearing a sanitary pad
)
2. had my 7 day bleed , 1 day post it had unprotected deed time .. then went and got the morning after pill the next day from a pharmacy ( leovnelle) i did however test for pregnancy a few days post the MAP ( i did not know you had to wait until your missed period or near period date
it was negative though!! )
3. 1 week later did the deed again stupidly!! ( i dont know why i think my husband assumed i was still on the pill and i got caught in the moment ha ha!) did not think i'd get pregnant but still went the family planning clinic to get another MAP they did a pregnancy test and it said not pregnant so they gave me another pill.
3 weeks went by and i had NO period! Just bigger sore boobs and nipples ( i usually get this when i am due to start my period) alot of discharge ( also normal for me before starting period) and dizzy spells ( i thought was a side effect of MAP's) i almost fell backwards carrying my nephew up to my room and i clearly remember that day i felt really bloated and just hot and dizzy. I was quite shocked and started getting worried when i almost dropped with my nephew in my room. I called my husband and told him i could not hold him any longer and could he take him downstairs ( i love kids i would never not play with them!) every night i'd get really hot while sleeping which is unsually and started drooling alot! i thought these were all side effects of the MAP.
Then again one morning we did the deed ( i really dislike condoms and thought well i am going to the Family planning clinic i'll discuss about taking the pill again or getting the coil fitted and get another MAP LOL! and also ask WHERE IS MY PERIOD!!!!!!!!!!!! ) i went they asked for the usually urine sample....
I had 2 doctors ( 1 was new and sitting in the consultation) i told the dr i took all the MAPS within 24 hours and that i haven't had a period and its really messing my body system up i have not had a period, i am fed up of condoms ( they left a burning sensation up there!) and that i know i am not pregnant ( i was SO confident i was not) and that i just want to get better contraception. the Dr did not think i could be pregnant either but discussed whether or not if i was would it be an issue..
my only issue is that i was taking 3 of my final professional accountancy exams this december to finish of my course. So being pregnant would i don't know if i get sick or something effect this as the exams are tough as it is being pregnant i would not want to stress my baby! ( i wanted to try for a baby post my exams anyway
) so new dr continued to talk to me while the main dr did the pregnancy tests i did not notice she did 3 ... and she sat back down and asked me if i would be upset if i was not pregnant i said well i don't know but i know i am not pregnant. she told me i was pregnant!!!!!!!!!!
i remember thinking erm WHAT? and then the first thing that came out of my mouth was ectopic pregnancies ( MAP leaflet mentions it can cause ectopics) dr then assured me its unlikely. And she asked the usual would you like to keep your pregnancy and will your husband be ok etc...
so the new dr escorted me out.. i had asked my husband to pick me up when i went to do the urine sample.. he was waiting for me in the car on a side road. i got into a car and burst out crying that i am pregnant. poor hubby thought i was joking and had to get out of the car to breathe he was so HAPPY!!!
my baby is an amazing blessing for me i constantly want to smack myself for taking more MAPS as i concieved the first time we did it...
and for the fact that i sat there like a numpty saying i am not pregnant!
but my only thing is... i have had no morning sickness! i am usually when not tired quite chirpy and bouncing/dancing around. I had lost my appetite to begin with but apart from sore boobs/nipples/ backache occasionally/ headaches occasionally / still drooling more! i have no other symptoms. i dont even have cravings just sometimes i fancy a fresh crunch apple or orange juice or my biggest want is a runny egg!!!!
I know i should be counting my blessings but i want a craving or two i want to send my hubby out at 3am for something ( he has been keeping the car keys next to him at night and clothes ready to go out) and everyone keeps asking me SO WHAT ARE YOU CRAVING?
am i normal lol
P.S i am 14 weeks tomorrow!!!
