My profile

Hello! I am 25 and I teach the 4th grade. I am pregnant with my first child. I could not be happier! Last November I found out that I was pregnant. I started to get really bad stomach pains. When I went to the ER they told me I was going to have a miscarriage. I was crushed. It turns out that I had a molar pregnancy. This is when the tissue takes over and you don't have a baby anymore. I had to have a D&C in January. Then every week after that I had to have a blood test to make sure my hormone levels were going down. If they went up that meant the molar pregnancy came back by itself and it could be cancerous. My doctor told me to wait until July to start trying again. My husband and I had every intention of waiting.....but in May my AF didn't show so I took a test and it came out positive!! At first we did not have the regular happy reaction because we didn't know if this was a baby or the molar pregnancy coming back. Well everything worked out because I am happily pregnant and cannot wait to be a mommy!!!!!!!

If a doctor, lawyer, or dentist had 40 people in his office at one time, all of whom had different needs, and some of whom didn't want to be there and were causing trouble, and the doctor, lawyer, or dentist, without assistance, had to treat them all with professional excellence for nine months, then he might have some conception of the classroom teacher's job. ~Donald D.
