So I went to planned parenthood on
tuesday, got myself some prenatal
vitamins, and found out my due date!!!
I'm 7 weeks along and I am due january
19th, 2009. I still haven't told my mother
yet as my boyfriend and I are trying to
work out some sort of financial plan. He
decided to be a firefighter until he
finishes his paramedic degree and today we
are going to the health center to apply
for medicaid. We still have a lot to think
and talk about together and it's getting
hard to even keep my mouth shut about it.
My emotions are going crazy, sometimes I
am elated and joyous and then I sink down
into this anxiety and fear. All I want is
a good life for the baby, I don't even
care about these stupid made-up social
stigmas about having children before
marriage. I just want to be ready;
emotionally and financially.
Morning sickness SUCKS. I am nauseated all
day and throw up almost every day,
especially if I am hungry. And then eating
feels so much like a burden becauseI'm so
sick all the time!
I began the pregnancy weighing 164 and now
I weigh 160, 159 in the morning. I don't
know if it's healthy to be LOSING weight
during a pregnancy. I have been walking
once a day for energy which is something I
didn't used to do, and this loss in weight
is a relief since I have gained thirty
pounds since my boyfriend first got a job
(he works at a japanese restaurant so I am
always getting free take-out and haven't
bothered to work any of it off!!!)
Anyway, im excited now, and anxious other
times. I am mostly anxious because I want
to tell everyone in the whole world, but I
can't because my brother goes to school
with me and if it leaks out he won't even
give me a chance to get emotionally
prepared for telling my parents. He'll
tell right away (there is serious
disfunction in my family.)
Anyway, is anyone else excited beyond
belief, and then scared and just wish
there was some easy way out of it??
haha, I feel like a crazy person. I'm so
jumbled up inside, I've never felt so
alive before!!!!

These feelings are normal for anyone who
is pregnant regardless of if it were
planned or not, their age, etc.
Good luck telling your family!

I agree with Ingi. My husband and I are
26 financially stable, college graduates,
and we planned this pregnancy. I'm 30
weeks along and sometimes were overly
excited and every now and then we both get
a little freaked out thinking about
finances and the responsibility of being a
parent, and how the whole thing it a
little scary. So know that what your
feeling is pretty normal I think. Also
losing weight in your first trimester is
normal too, it happens to a lot of women
because of the morning sickness factor. I
wouldn't stress about it to much. Just
try to find some stuff that's easy on the
stomach and you can hopefully hold
down...hopefully your morning sickness
will subside in a few weeks. I hope things
go well with telling your parents, and you
have a happy rest of your pregnancy.

losing weight in early pregnancy is
normal. And try ginger and also motion
sickness bands and stuff, theyre great. As
for your emotions, welcome to the joys of
pregnancy! part of that is hormones-im 38
weeks and i get absolutely terrified, and
then all i want is to have this child NOW
and then i get really "aww im pregnant"
and dont want it to end, its all normal.
