My mood while writing this blog: lonely

About Your Pregnancy:

Is this your first pregnancy: Sure is

When did you find out you were pregnant: On April 28th I took a test, as I have done many times because my boyfriend and I dont practice safe sex (I know we were bad) and my period was late (as usual) Except this time two little lines showed up!

Was it planned: Not at all, but it's not as if we were preventing it.

What was your first reaction: I freaked out, my heart went really fast and felt like I couldn't breathe and I starting crying saying "No no I can't handle this right now" and then I made Chris buy another test, which sure enough was positive, so then I was sort of like "Shit!" - I know not the best reaction, but I just did not expect it at all.

Who was with you when you found out: My boyfriend Chris

Who was the first person you told: My boyfriend

How did your parents react: My boyfriends family were worried but they were very supportive in any decision I made, my Mum was in shock for a long time, but now she's really excited and buying little baby clothes.

How far along are you: I am 18 weeks and 2 days

What was your first symptoms: Nothing before the test, except maybe the fact I kept peeing every 20 mintues and couldn't understand why. After the pregnancy was confirmed at the doctors I have bad nausea, really sore boobs and I was extremely tired!
