Hi all, I'm very new to all this stuff.
Just last week discovered i am pregnant. I had a feeling my period was two weeks late, but as i'm so rubbish at keeping track of it i wasn't absolutley sure. However, sure enough, two positive tests later and my brain is trying to come to terms with the fact i'm going to have a baby.
I'm 33 this year, and we were half heartedly TTC. We stopped using contraception and i kinda thought, oh well if it happens then it's probably about time. So it happened!
I'm not sure how i am supposed to feel, and i'm not sure how i do feel. (Apart from a bit out of sorts in the abdominal region.)
I am a very active person who works with horses. I ride two or three every day and i'm not sure i won't resent my situation when i have to stop doing what i love. Safe to say, i don't feel very maternal just yet!
I am really looking forwards to telling the in laws though. I am quite detatched from my parents, who lets say were not the best example of loving parents and so it's my decision to live my life without them now. So the next best thing i have is his parents who will be thrilled. We are going to tell them this weekend, when i will be getting on for 8 weeks. I will also have to tell a few select good friends as i had a very unfortunate encounter at the doctors. While speaking to the receptionist about me finding out i was pregnant (after seeing doc, to fill a form in) i desperatley tried to get accross to her the urgent confidentiality of this information by speaking in whispers and putting a finger to my lips. She procede to blurt out, "dont worry, patient confidentiality is most important to us and to all of the midwives and they won't spill the beans to anyone." It was then i had to explain in hushed tones that she had just told the lady behind me, (who we have known for years and would describe as a big gob on a stick) that i was expecting and thanks for that! So before big gob gets it around to my closest friends, i will have to tell them earlier than i wanted to. It's so unfair! It should be my joy to tell my friends i'm pregnant, and now i'm damned if i'm going to give gob on a stick the pleasure. Sorry, I'm having a rant. It really upset me though as i feel i need to get in before she does now.
Anyway, i might be around here quite a lot as i have never done this pregnant thing before. Don't laught too much if i'm asking stupid questions.
Thanks for letting me rant.
