Pregnant

I found out that I am pregnant on Thursday of last week. I am six weeks pregnant right now and thrilled. I hope that everything goes well. I have wanted this child for almost ten years now. I am glad that it didn’t happen during my first marriage though, so it’s good that it has taken this long, I guess. I am 28 and most of my friends have two or three kids. Rather than comparing myself to them all these years I have just tried to enjoy my life. I have had a great four years of marriage with my second husband.

So, I don’t know how people do it. How do they wait three months to tell people that they are expecting? I couldn’t wait three hours to tell my parents and family. I also had to sneak in a few announcements to a few close friends. I know I have six weeks left before I am supposed to tell people and at that point I doubt there will be anyone left to tell. Oh well.

I have been feeling super tired the last week or two. I could just sleep all day, but I can’t. I have two jobs and between them I work 70 hours a week. I am cutting back on those hours quickly though. Today I went for a short walk on my morning break and I started to feel very nauseated. I had a few gross burps and thought that I was going to throw up on the street and was grossed out by that. I took a few deep breaths and concentrated on getting back to my work as quickly as possible. I made it, but did not throw up. I just feel super sick at the moment. I hope that this will go away quickly. I had also hoped that I would be one of the lucky ladies that get through the first trimester without morning sickness.

I am thrilled though with the idea of having a child although I am petrified of miscarriage. I hope that my child makes it. I try not to think about it because there is nothing I can do about it. My first doctor appointment for the baby is in November. I can’t wait to see the ultrasound and see the little peanut!

Symptoms: Tired, hungry (but if the nausea persists then I’m sure that will change), did I say tired, breast tenderness, and I have to go to the bathroom all the time. I also just lost a little bit of weight, but I’m sure that I’ll be gaining that back plus some by the time the baby comes.

I am going on a business trip in a few weeks and I’m worried that I’ll be throwing up on the entire flight. I hope that doesn’t happen. We’ll have to see how I feel when that time comes. I’m nervous already about flying because I usually take Dramamine or Valium. I’ll have to ask my MD if there is anything I can do for this flight. I have those motion sickness bands too, so maybe I’ll wear those as well.
