Before After

Ok, lots of whining on this one. Feel free to skip.

Ok, today’s entry is gonna be a bit of a hard for me because the news has not sunk in yet.

I have figured out why I am suddenly gaining, am not feeling well, and so hungry all the time. I’m pregnant. I don’t even know what to think right now. We weren’t planning on having anymore kids, and we have just been starting to enjoy the freedom of having older children who can be left on their own for short periods of time. What am I going to do??

I have been crying since I found out, and can’t believe that it is true.

I know it sounds like this is a bad thing…but it is not. I have wanted another baby for so long, but my husband doesn’t want anymore kids. So over the years after a lot of crying and arguing, I finally accepted the fact that I would never have another baby. I had finally found peace with the idea of that. This just turns my whole world upside down.

I have finally got my shit together and am doing right for me, and now this to deal with. How do I maintain my weight loss and have a healthy pregnancy? I am so scared.

I haven’t told anyone yet, not even my husband. I don’t know what to say. I don’t know how he will react. I am hoping he will be ok about (I don’t think he would ever really be “happy” about it), I think worst case scenario would be anger. Not that he would ever hurt me, but blame me YES.

I am so lost right now. I have been walking around with a positive pregnancy test in my pocket all day, and I keep looking at it thinking it can’t be real…must be defective. I have a second one that I will take when I am ready to make sure.

For now I am just going to sit in my living room and cry the rest of the day away (after picking up some prenatal vitamins). I will have to walk in to the doctors to get a referral to an ob/gyn, since my doctor does not have an open appointment until June 3. Crazy!

Anyway, thanks for listening to me whine. Take care of yourselves!

OMG it all makes sense now!
I want to say congratulations but am not sure thats the right thing to say given your emotions.
I am sure your Husband will be alright with it - heck... it takes 2 to tango!!
As for maintaining your weight during pregnancy... you'll find it loads easier to eat healthily when it's someone else's health on the line - I did!!!
I really hope you feel better about this soon - i'm smiling for you!

wow

Wow
 
My first reaction was; are you sure? (I'm a dork about these things!  From what I understand the otc pg tests sometimes give false positives if you're having hormonal changes etc. I have no clue how old you are so I don't know if that would apply to you or not).
 
Next thoughts:  I'm not going to pretend to have a clue what you're going thru today; given everything you mentioned, it's a lot at once. 
 
Cry all day if you need to. Once the initial emotions are out, the answers will become clear on what to do next.  Hugs and prayers being sent your way.

Oh wow!

That is a LOT to process in one day. Especially all the emotions you have surrounding the idea of being pregnant!

I think the most important thing you can do first of all is take that second test as and when you feel ready for the answer, just in case the first one was false.Then you can focus on the rest of the questions you have written out in your post.

I wish you the best of luck, no matter the outcome!

...

OMG

I'd be crying too... you can maintain your weight and have a healthy pregannacy no probs that sthe least of your worries the now... I lost weight while pregnant
