Hi everyone,
I just joined today. I went in for my first OBGYN visit, which I guess was a little late... as apparently I'm 7W pregnant already. EEK! I sound like such a slow poke compared to everyone else. Last period was Nov 22. Estimated due date is Sept 7, 2011. I think I ovulated late (18 days instead of 14, due to stress) and I think my baby is really only 6 w along. I did all my regular tests. I didn't know that I could get an ultrasound so soon and was shocked when my doc shoved this pole up me and suddenly she's like "there's your little baby". I was shocked. I mean, its a little bean, 1.3CM long and i even saw its heart fluttering. I can't believe I'm already so far along!! I only found out I was pregnant 2 weeks ago!
I'm nervous but excited. Its hard because I dont want to tell anyone until 15 weeks after the genetic tests are all done. I had a friend have a miscarriage and everyone knew she was pregnant...and then ppl were wondering what happened
. I'm trying not to stress but the toughest part is not having anyone to talk to.
I had a bit of spotting and thats what sent me to see the OBGYN this week. She said i have a fragile cervix.... friable cervix that bleeds easily and she said shes not concerned as i'm not bleeding internally. she says its normal to spot.
So far... the only symptom I've had is gas. No nausea. no vomiting. Only a tad more tired than usual. But I don't feel pregnant at all. Its just the gas. I am a farting machine. It won't stop. I heard its the progesterone that causes the gas. I have to rush to the bathroom at work to pass gas because it sounds like an explosion. It is so embarassing. That's the only side effect I've had and its just awful. I knock myself out with the stench.
Looking forward to reading the posts on here!
