I'm Pregnant.
I just want to announced that I am pregnant. I'm nearly 3 months along. I'm so very excited, this is my first pregnancy.
There was a bit of drama at the start with the confusion as to how far along I was. The doctor bases the time by the date of my last period and I was counting from when I conceived. So the doctor thought I was 10 weeks, I thought I was 2. So I was sent off to an ultrasound to get an exact date and the technician couldn't find anything in my uterus. I knew I was pregnant. I did 4 TESTS and got 4 positive results - I coudln't believe I was pregnant so I can continuously check! Went back to the doctor still claiming it was too early to see anything, but she started talking about ectopic pregnancy. It freaked me out. My grandma just died and there was a family dispute about where to bury her, so I was super stressed about maybe having an ectopic pregnancy and fighting for where my Grandma was to be buried.
I waited another 3 weeks to get another scan done. During this time I had no pain nor bleeding. Which is a good sign. So I went for a scan and my baby was in the right spot with it's little heart beating. Little peanut! They measured the baby as 7 weeks. I was one week off with the calculations. I was so incredibly relieved that our baby was alive and in the right spot. Yes, I cried with relief.
I'm nearly 11 weeks now. I've been suffering really bad with fatigue, and queasiness. Morning sickness is a nasty thing. It doesn't just happen in the morning - it lasts all bloody day! I've never been much of a vomitter, but I've certainly become an expert now! But it hasn't been too bad. It's the queasiness and fatigue that is really bothering me.
the most devastating thing about my pregnancy is that I CAN'T STAND EATING CHOCOLATE! How bad is that??? I'm not too fussed on sweet foods. I'm usually the biggest sweet tooth out, but I am off it. I have no cravings as yet.
I'm due in early december. Another side effect of this pregnancy is that I have 'Baby Brain' meaning I can't think straight or concentrate for too long. I am deferring from Uni for a while. I also have no inspiration to do any icons or photoshop work. Which is a pain as I really want to do stuff, but can't think of anything to do. Plus the only time I get a chance to do anything is after work, and by the end of the day I am so exhausted and the thought of looking at a computer just gives me a headache!
So I am sorry if I do not contribute to any icontests for a while. I'll still try and vote (when I remember).
