OMG I think I'm pregnant!!



Recommended Posts

And yes that is a very good thing!! Im itching to tell someone so here I am with my bandmates. It just doesnt seem real, that it could be possible. I am going to go today and have a blood test done to be positive. I have taken 4.... yes 4 lol... home tests. The first two were the answer brand with the two lines. I got 2 lines but one was very light on both that is why I wanted to try another brand. I went and got a couple EPT tests, the digital type and both of those said PREGANT :tt1:. I want to wait to tell family and friends till I get the results of the blood test. Let me go into my past a bit so everyone understands why this seems so unreal to me. First I am 40. I was with my late husband for 15 years and we didnt do anything to prevent pregnancy during the majority of that time. I had given up any hopes of it happening many many years ago. Now I am engaged (to a 26 year old.. hehe) and planning on getting married May 30th. My life is going great which makes this even more hard to believe. Sorry for the long post, I just needed to get it out. Thanks for listening... or well reading. I have a question for you ladies. What really made your pregnancies "real" for you?

Congratulations!! And wow, you don't look 40, you look 20!

I was scared & panicked (was not ttc), and then 20 weeks when they did the ultrasound where he's fully formed and moving, kicking, sucking, etc. , and found out his sex, it really hit me. Then I did the nursery, started shopping and thinking about being a mom. Then I watched Marley & Me this weekend (I am 36w tomorrow) and I had a panic attack again after seeing how their lives fell apart from kids!!! And I've been stressing about the birthing part, but I try to stop thinking about it when it gets to me. I'm a big sissy.

congratulations! I'm 13 weeks and still kind of soaking it in. I think I'm still in disbelief! lol. Like fairy said, I'm assuming it'll become very real at around 20 weeks.

I found out on the first day of missed period, at work.. told my friend from work & my mom.. I said not to tell.. but then my mom told my dad, and they both told all their friends, who told all my co-workers, and it was like a month of people knowing but being told 'not to tell', so when I started telling people, they all knew already! Big mouths. :lol:

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL
