First appointment

I was so excited to finally have my first appointment (5 days after my 25th birthday). James was not able to go with as he had to work.

Glad we didn't have him take time off as all I did was answer questions about my health and family history.

I was hoping to hear the heartbeat or get a ultrasound.

Trip to the ER

I had been havin sharp pains on my left side, real bad sometimes. I would double over in pain at times. I tried to hide this from people because I didn't want to admit that something could be wrong with the baby.

I hadn't been to the doctor yet as I was waiting for my insurance to kick in. But I was on babycenter.com and found a thing about tubal pregnancy. It scared me so bad. Everything that they said points to a tubal pregnancy I had going on. So I called my sister and asked her what she thought, she said I should go to the ER.

So James, my mom, and I went to the ER. I was actually brought back pretty quick. When I told them my syptoms they said the wanted to do a ultrasound to make sure the baby is where it was supposed to be. This just made my fear worse, they were thinking the same thing I was.

They said first they were going to take me in for a pelvic exam, so my mom and James stayed in the original room. Before they even did the pelvic exam they took me back to do the ultrasound. I told them my mom and James wanted to be there for it, but they said since it was intervaginal ultrasound they didnt need to come. I personally think they didn't want them back there incase something was wrong.

After the ultrasound tech probed around my vajayjay for what seemed like forever she showed me my baby. It just looked like a little pumpkin seed, but she said it looked good, and was actually mesuring ahead from the due date DSHS gave me. I asked the lady if she was able to give a picture and she said they don't do that in the ER, then before they wheeled me back out she gave it to me and told me to hide and not to let anyone know she did it. I was so excited.

I got my pelvic exam done and went back into my room. After a bit the doctor came in and said there was a healthy 6 week old baby. I asked him what was causing the pain and he told me I had cysts on both of my ovaries and that they should not harm the baby and would burst or melt away within a few days. One burst that night then the other the next day.

I never thought I would be so happy to hear that I had cysts. I really thought something was wrong with our baby. Cysts, I could deal with... losing my baby I couldn't.

A little back story

After not getting my lovely monthly visit on Saturday Jan. 24th I was thinking there was a possibility that I could be pregnant. But last time that I didn't get it on time as soon as I went and spent the money on the test I started. So I waited, and didn't really tell anyone right away.


After a couple more days of still not starting, on Tuesday I told James, and we decided we would wait until Sunday and if I still hadn't started we would go and buy a test. Then on Wednesday my car broke down and I broke down and started bawling, I was overly emotional. But with my car being broken down and being stranded I didn't think I was being emotional because I was pregnant.



Thursday morning I texted my sister that lives 3 hours away and asked her how long after she missed her period did she wait to test. That of course made her tell me to go get a test right then. I told her we wanted to wait until Sunday, and she said that I was 6 days over and that if it was because of stress or something else I would have probably started. I told her I would talk to James when he got home from work and see what he had to say.



James got home and we went to play poker at a local bar (no I did not drink, but I did get a weird craving for fried ice cream, then when I got it tasted horrible). While we were eating dinner I told him that Destiny wanted us to get the test tonight, he said we would see. Then Destiny texted me, asking if we had gotten the test. I told her we were playing poker and didnt know if we were going to get it. We decided since we had to go grocery shopping anyway we would pick up one.



We got home around 11:30 and I went and peed on the stick. The positive line showed up within seconds, no waiting 5 minutes like the test said. So I went and showed James the test, the line, although it was there was very faint, so he could barely see it as he was outside in the dark. So I told him it was positive, he gave me a hug and kiss.

I sent a picture of the test to my sister via text message, she responded "I told you" and something about how it will be twin girls. I went and showed my mother the test and talked her into going to the store with me to buy a "better quality" test. That one of course came back positive as well.
