About Me

Well im 17 years old i still live at home but not for to long im getting a house not long after babys born.. ive been with my lovely boyfriend for just over 2 & a half years hes my first love and i couldnt be without him at first when i found out i was pregnant i was overjoyed but was soon blown away by worry,confusion and lonliness im so ready to be a mum,& to be having a baby with daniel means everything to me im a very headstrong person i can be quite stubborn i hate pointlessness and i believe only whats proven to me i can be quite paranoid at times too.but i get along with people really easily and im very open and honest im really easy to talk to & always there for people when they need advice or just a shoulder to cry on =) that pretty much sums me up x

Week 29

had a checkup at the hospital from when i got taken in by my mum & dad babys all well and healthy and ive been given the all clear since there hasnt been any other things happening to me shes putting the pains down to being normal so im really glad that i dont have to keep going back to the hospital for checkups talked to my mifwife about chaning hospitals and were going to talk about it at my next meeting got my pushchair now :):):) so happy about because ive wanted it for so long went out and bought lots of little things like nappys.wipes..creams... starting to feel more pregnant now also bought a bag for me to take my stuff into hospital with things have been better this week just abit of pain on my talebone but most of the dredded backache has gone lol :)

Week 28

been better this week had a mifwife appt: which DID NOT go ok .. i have a trainee following me through which i dont mind about but i go to the appointment to see ANOTHER one there which really pissed me off as my pregnancy IS NOT a public show for anyone to come and see and what put the icing on the cake was the trainee said she'd be doing my bloods that day and she was trained in it so itd be ok ( its in my notes im extremely scared of needles) so i trusted her not to mess it up .. and she does ..b lood everywhere so my midwife had to go it on the other arm so reallywasnt happy ive been gettin TERRIBLEEEE backache which is causin me to be uncomfy all the time arr i duno i just want my baby here now !

Week 27

aw this weeks not been good i got took into hospital by my dad because i had bad pains.. they was happening for a few days but it got to painful so i went in.. the took some blood and the results came back ok..they dont know whats causing the pain so theyve told me ive gotta go back for the rest of the pregnancy :( which im really not happy about iwent for a scan the next day and said everything was fine with the baby they pi**ed me off when i went back after losing my records and a woman walking off with them that wasnt meant to have them then making me wait for 2 hours longer then my actual appointment time then getting the feeling their looking down at me cause im only 17 and not writing it in my records for my midwife! so now my midwifes gotta come with me to find out whats going on cause they didnt tell me anything.. not a very good week

-How I Found Out I Was Pregnant-

I had been getting pains in my lower stomache for a few days.. they was really painful and very uncomfortable..after about 4 day i was lying in bed and i knew i was pregnant i felt it even though i had never had a child before ..the next i was in agony and couldnt move because of the pain an ambulance was called and i got took into hospital straight away i was put on gas and went straight into the E.R after being put in a room they took my blood pressure took 5 samples of my blood and injected pain relief which helped alot at that point i calmed down alot because i wasnt in so much pain.. i was waiting in the room for about an hour before a doctor came back and told me my blood has come back and that i was pregnant.. i wasnt shocked at all but i still had horrible pains.. i had to stay in over night and it turned out that my left ovary had swollen up nearlly 3 times bigger then what it should be because there was lose water in there i stayed in over night and was let out the next morning after alot of pain relief and painkillers it all turned out ok =]
