I first found out I was pregnant on June 6th but couldn't believe it. I took another pregnancy test the next day then I went to the clinic for a pregnancy test there. After that the doctor was going to send me to get blood work done just so I could be 100% sure but I didn't end up going. I made an appointment with a nurse at the health unit. Before my second appointment I decided I should tell my mom so she could be there with me. It was really the most scary thing I've ever had to do but afterwards I had Tim there by my side which really made a difference. My mom told my dad the next day and he was actually really calm about it. My mom came with me to my next doctors appointment, she ended up asking more questions than I did and shes now in love with the nurse from the health unit. After that visit we didn't go back to the health unit my mom looked into getting me midwives which I LOVE. My first appointment there was mostly just information given and we tried to hear the baby's heart which we couldn't find so early. On July 23rd I had my first ultrasound but because I wasn't 12 weeks yet they wouldn't let me see anything and they wouldn't tell me anything, it was pretty disappointing. The same day I had a midwife appointment because I needed to get a pap test done. Before my pap test was done they checked for the heartbeat again and it was just perfect http://youtube.com/watch?v=MvVqUBeWZCk - my mom videotaped it and I put it on youtube so my family could hear it. On the 24th my midwives called me to tell me that they had the results of my ultrasound and everything was perfect AND there was only 1 baby in there so I was very pleased. I'll be 12 weeks as of the 26th and I'm loving how fast the time is going. I can't wait to hold my baby

((Monica Rene)) - Tuesday, 22 Jan O my goodness, that has to suck. your lucky you get to meet your little man tho! i'm sorry that it has to be a c-sections tho. Hope everything goes well
yummy-mummy2be - Monday, 21 Jan I read ur comment on de teen pregnancy page, i know ware ur comin from my ex was a liar as well and a bad one at tat, plus e was very aggressive, violent and a cheater. So i left him and it was de best thing i ever did i am now a single mother to my 3 week old baby girl i wont lie it is hard but at least u dnt hav 2 share ur baby with any1 lol
((Monica Rene)) - Sunday, 20 Jan I know what you mean, I can't wait to meet my lil man! WEll hope everything goes well for you in the next few weeks
Kalea - Sunday, 20 Jan Well you'll need to do something hun you can't stay like this feeling so unsure.
Kalea - Sunday, 20 Jan But if he was happy somewhere else then he wasn't worth having in the first place. Maybe sit him down and explain completely how you feel, how he lies and if he aint going to stop that and decides to leave then it's probably for the best.
Kalea - Sunday, 20 Jan Don't worry hun, I felt exactly the same. Slightly different because I was scared my partner would leave me and I'd never find someone again. But I can tell you BOTH my brothers have married/engaged with 2 lassies that already have children. My brother Tim met his wife Sharon when her daughter was 4, they have now been married 5 years and have two more. My brother Andrew has met... well my friend Linzi, she has a 4yr old and 2yr old. She's now pregnant with Andrews. I don't really like her though, I know her past and so scared she will hurt him.
The point is, don't hold onto someone because you're scared of being alone. You will put so much stress on yourself it is unreal. A realationship should be a happy, confident thing that you can 100% rely on. How about maybe asking for a break? See how you feel after a short time apart.
Kalea - Sunday, 20 Jan Weirrrrd lol. I'm having a bored duvet day and my toddler is running riot lol.
Kalea - Sunday, 20 Jan Hey hun, I read your comment about your partner.
The thing is after the birth it is very easy to become low and the last thing you want is the added stress that your partner might not be up to the job. At the end of the day, yes we all want our kids to have a mummy and daddy, but do they want to have both at the expense of the happiness of one? Babies can pick up on vibes, you need to make sure you're doing the right thing for the baby. And someone new will whisk you both away in the future:)
