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.

Thank you for the compliment Laura :cursing: I just got back my blood work and yes i am for sure pregnant. Just about 3 weeks. I have so much going through my head right now. Im sure you all understand lol. I was curious as to when everyone told people they know that they were pregnant?

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:

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
