I cannot believe the time has finally come. I am pregnant for the 2nd time. This time is very similar to my pregnancy with Conner and VERY different in some ways.
I don't remember EVER feeling dizzy when pregnant with Conner, but for some reason I am intesely dizzy this time. As of today I am 5 weeks pregnant. I missed my period last Friday, and because pregnancy is usually measured by the first day of your last period I am 5 weeks. I have this intense dizzyness, sore nipples, fatigue, high appetite, and the very first week I noticed a very dramatic urge to pee all the time. I haven't had much nausea, possibly a few waves of it, but not much.
I had a very small amount of spotting last Saturday while we were watching Conference at Midway. I didn't necessarily panic because the same thing happened with Conner. Implantation bleeding. It has not happened again so I suppose it was just implantation. I did however need to go get another blood test and a shot called Rhogam because I have A negative blood and Corey is positive so if my baby is positive blood then my body could attack the baby as a foreign object.
The rohgam shot protects this from happening.
Again I had to go thru all this with Conner too.
I must admit I am very uneasy about the pregnancy. I keep thinking I should be feeling more one way or the other...assuming I won't have a healthy pregnancy. I constantly check to see if I am bleeding. I'm so annoying. But seriously its difficult not to get paranoid when Melissa just had a terrible still birth, Sarah just had TWO miscarriages one right after the other at about 15 weeks. But at the same time I know I was paranoid about miscarrying with Conner and he was/is perfect.
Corey is delighted...he is so excited. The baby will be born in June, what a great time to have a baby! We haven't told many people yet. We told my parents, Corey's parents, Chris, Ash, Chris and Brittni Cotton, and that is about it.
I would like to wait to tell anyone else till after we see the doctor. Which is scheduled for November 10th. The doctor who delivered Conner, Dr. Larkin, retired this year. So I am scheduled to see Dr. Barton from the same practice.
There are a lot of things that are hard about being pregnant. But I am really hoping this works out. It is difficult not to be skeptical at the beginning when so many things can go wrong and there is no kicking, showing, and we haven't seen a doctor. But I am trying to have faith.
