I'm Currently Feeling: | - If your pregnancy was unplanned, was it scary at first or exciting? It was unplanned yes, but we'd talked about trying for a baby, weve been together a yr & ive never got caught, so when my 20th bday came & i tested it was a shock, it took me a few weeks for it too sink in i suppose. But now i am over the moon that im pregnant. - Are there any things that you've had to give up or cut back on since you
became pregnant? Drinking alcohol, but i aint much of a drinker anyhow. So it's easy for me, hehe. - Are there any things that you feel you should have given up or cut back
on and haven't? Junk food, as ive read on the internet - the unhealthy your diet, the more at risk your putting yourself in for getting post-natel depression. But ive always eaten crap, and i cant help myself - What has been the best experience during your pregnancy so far? I haven't had a best experience as of yet, im waiting for my scan which is in 9days, so i think that will be the best experience. - What has been the worst experience during your pregnancy so far? Feeling tired, feeling sick, being moody, especially towards my fiance, lol. I dont like it but i cant control my moods. |

Terrifying. It still is now. But there are exciting times too!
- Are there any things that you've had to give up or cut back on since you

I stopped smoking the day I found out. Ive been stopped for 7 months now. Also alcohol.
- Are there any things that you feel you should have given up or cut back

No
- What has been the best experience during your pregnancy so far?
Feeling him move and the 20 week scan were amazing
- What has been the worst experience during your pregnancy so far?
At 11 weeks I had some bleeding and cramping. I was told my the hospital I was miscarrying, or I had an ectopic pregnancy. I had to wait 2 days for an 'emergency' scan, and then when I went for it everything was fine.

It was scary at first because I was so worried about telling my parents and how much my life was going to change because I'm so young - Are there any things that you've had to give up or cut back on since you
became pregnant?
I haven't had any alcohol since I found out I was pregnant - Are there any things that you feel you should have given up or cut back
on and haven't?
No, I don't believe in the whole paranoia associated with pregnancy. Apart from pates and soft cheeses I've eaten, in sensible moderation, everything else e.g. Lion marked eggs runny. Mothers in the past have had perfectly healthy babies and bot had to avoid almost all food! However I feel like I shouldn't eat so many Mcdonalds! - What has been the best experience during your pregnancy so far?
Feeling my LO kicking and when my OH feels her. Also seeing her on the 20 week scan when she looked like a real little person - What has been the worst experience during your pregnancy so far?
When I was told my baby wasn't growing. She has started to now but I'm being monitered just incase which has made me feel much better |

I'm Currently Feeling: | If your pregnancy was unplanned, was it scary at first or exciting?
It was unplanned and my first reaction was pure excitement! It wasnt the best time to get pregnant in my life - but it was welcome! - Are there any things that you've had to give up or cut back on since you
became pregnant?
I used to drink a little several times a week and then every three or four months I would have a binge. I stopped drinking as soon as I found out. i also ate more heathily. - Are there any things that you feel you should have given up or cut back
on and haven't?
I wish i continues to eat mor healthily and laid of some of the junk. I treated pregnancy as an excuse to go with my cravings for junk. - What has been the best experience during your pregnancy so far?
Seeing him on the scans, and sharing the first movements with my partner. - What has been the worst experience during your pregnancy so far?
Finding out he has spinal bifida and having to tell the father whilst he was away. Being on my own whilst the father is away and dealing with the fear of spinal befida on my own. |
