I did attempt to start one earlier but I never got round to writing in it so this is just a last minute thing as I only have about 8 weeks to go!
My pregnancy wasn't planned and I was on the Pill at the time. I'd been with my boyfriend for almost 7 months when I found out in October last year. At first I was in shock and couldn't get my head round it. I had only just started University but I knew that I couldn't get rid of my baby. My boyfriend was fully supportive which made me feel so much better.
I went to the doctors to confirm everything and they said they would send me a letter through about a hospital appointment. However when the letter eventually did arrive, it went to my parents address instead of mine. My mum, being a worrier, saw the envelope with the hospital logo on and was straight on the phone to me. After much asking she finally realised what it was for. I had been waiting to go down in person and tell my parents as I knew I was going to be killed! My mum was hysterical and so that night I went down to tell my dad. He didn't go as mad as I thought but seeing my mum in tears like that broke my heart and she kept blaming herself. She was only 20 when she had me so she hadn't wanted me to have a baby so young at 18.
Eventually my parents came round to the idea as did everyone else and they too have been really supportive. I've barely had to buy any baby stuff because everyone else has wanted to buy it for us!
I went for my first scan on 21st November and saw my little pea on the screen. I had a bit of a Rachel from Friends moment because all I could see was a blob and my OH could see the heart lol. My 20 week scan was on 13th Feburary and we were desperate to find out the sex. Seeing a human looking baby after seeing the blob on the first scan was so weird. I could see it kick and feel it at the same time! It was really lovely and the sonographer told us it was a girl. My OH who wanted a boy said 'but can't you sometimes be wrong?' to which she replied 'I don't think I am and I haven't been yet.' and *fingers crossed* that meant she was pretty confident because of all the girly stuff I've now bought!
As far as pregnancies go, so far I've had it pretty easy, no morning sickness and I haven't been particulaly hormonal, just nausea, slight water infection and a sore back. The results from my last blood test showed I was anaemic but iron tablets are helping sort that out. At my 28 week midwife appointment she told me my baby was growing well. My bump has finally grown so I look properly pregnant. And at the moment I'm loving people telling that I'm looking really good =]
Quite a lot to read but that's pretty much the last 7/8 months in a nutshell! Roll on the last 8 weeks!
I had such a horrible dream last night! Woke up about 4.15 this morning expecting LO to be awake but she wasn't. I eventually fell back asleep and dreamt that I went to the hospital for a check up but there was no heartbeat and my little Gracey had died, it was awful. Halfway through though I was woken up by little miss herself giving me an almighty kick as if to say "I'm still here mummy, don't be sad." I've never been so relieved to feel her!
Went to my OH's baby sisters christening today and everyone was asking about bump and telling me I looked really good which was nice. LO had the hiccups and you could see my whole belly shaking which my OH thought was super cute but then she decided to make me uncomfortable by kicking my ribs which were already sore from an earlier battering! I know I'll miss it when she's born though, I just can't wait for her to be here!
