well what to say, the pea in my pod wasnt invited to the party but is now welcome. lol
its taken a while for myself to acknowledge and embrace the fact im pregnant.
i wasnt exactly what you would call jumping for joy when we found out. I had just had my places accepted for uni sept 08 for either degrees in mental health nursing or midwifery i just had to choose and accept their offer (whichever i chose) and i had just started a new job. also myself and my OH dont live together so while he was getting excited and decided he had to tell his parents i was just in a trance thinking about what i was going to do about my uni places, where we was going to live, how we would afford it as i dont qualify for the companies maternity pay only the ma which is a measly £112 p/w and my oh's wages all go on debts he has, after he pays them hes left with £100 a month. i personally dont agree with abortions and thats my right not to, besides im of the thinking i do the crime i do the time so to speak !

i was stressed to say the least so to my shock (id forgotten id said 'worreva you want to do' when my oh asked if it was ok for him to tell his parents) i turned up at his parents and there was quite litrally the vast majority of his parents family sitting in the living room congratulating me. i just ran up to the bathroom and sobbed, which resulted in me sobbing into my oh's anties shoulder all snot and tears lol
eventually i have came round to the idea i am pregnant ive told my family and close freinds. although my best freind has fertility problems and she and her husband have been ttc for near 3 years now so i couldnt vent with her as i felt i was so selfish.


anyway i went to the doctors on the 27th december to confirm the pregnancy he did a urine test and sent it off saying that the home tests are a lot more accurate than the one he was doing and the fact i have done 5-6 tests that were positive concluded it for me. anyhow the other day, thursday i think it was i went to the doctors and he told me that the test he did on the 27th has came back neg, and it could just be that my hormone levels had dipped, that i had missed (when i asked what that was and he told me it meant misscarried my head spun)or it could just be that the test he did was crap!!!
anyway he made me an appointment as the only deffinate way to know that theres a viable pregnancy is to do a scan (to determine no misscarriadge or ectopic preg) for this monday (today, thats why i cant sleep and im typing this) at 1pm. im so nervous and only now have i truley realised just how much i want this baby and want it to be safe and well, im so gay im crying now!!!! seriously though i was in the doctors when it dawned on me as before i thought yer im pregnant and its going to ruin my life but the second i heard my GP say possible missed i felt so protective, hurt , angry and loving towards this is it? isnt it there? pea in my pod. after my gp appointment i went to my local chemist and bought another two tests both positive... i was so confused i called my doctor he said its good news although i should still go to the appointment to set my mind at ease, hes even signed me off work until wednesday so i dont have to stress in work.
its now 11 hrs till my scan, im so scared worried excited i shall update when i know what is happening!!!

ps sorry if ive bored the living daylights outta you, or deppressed you. xxx

Angry

So fed up, ive taken a few days holidays the past week just to get me over am I arent I pregnant scares.
My friend from work called me to say she has been sacked, she started the same time as me but was already 6 weeks pregnant when she started. She told work when she was 12 weeks. shes been getting warnings for idle time, unschedualled breaks to get drinks and snacks etc... and they was so awkward with her over appointments. I just want to jack my job in and go back to my less paid job, where they didnt try to force you out because your pregnant they accepted it. I dont know what to do I would rather tell my employer so i dont need to take hols for appointments but if theyre that horrible to my friend then they'll be the same with me.
her manager even had the cheek when she asked why she is being sacked to say "you started here aware of a 12 month probationary period did you not? that should of warned you to keep your legs shut whilst on your probationary period" needless to say my friend slapped her across the face and walked out. shes not got a leg to stand on in an employment tribunal either because the reasons for her being sacked do not state pregnant whilst on probation cos they cant say that but they have her sickness time off, idle times and unschedualled breaks none of which she can dispute!!!!

pardon my rant just worried over my position in work if i let the cat out of the bag.

.

that is soooo outta order... she doesnt know the situation your friend is in that could be one major wanted baby after years of struggle... id be screaming tribunal at her the mangy ol' god some people are so rude it makes my blood boil as manners dont cost anything and when ur rude you just come accross as the most ignorant moron ever...
hope everything eorks out for your friend and that you have a better outcome at work when you tell them about your pregnancy x
