23 and pregnant
Friday night after work my friend and I met up and went out for drinks. I remember feeling really shitty (headache, chills etc) and deciding whether or not I wanted to drink or if I wanted to take an Advil. I wasn't that hungry so I didn't want to order an entire meal so I settled for Texas Cheese Fries and a Molten Cake with a water . After she finished her drinks, I went home and slept when I woke up, I still had the damn headache. Side note: My Dads side we all suffer from headaches so I didn't really think much of it.
When I went to use the restroom something told me to just grab my extra pregnancy test. I put it on the counter and just sat waiting and the two lines popped up. I looked around the bathroom like 👀 and then bust out laughing.
I've gotten some pretty interesting feedback, my sister told me I should get rid of the baby just because I started a new career and she feels the baby will ruin everything. I remember when she first got pregnant and got rid of her baby and ended up pregnant again 9 months later. I've heard abortions stories from my mom and my sisters growing up and promised myself that I'd never be that person!
I went to the doctor yesterday, I figured I wasn't that far along bc my bf and I had taken a pregnancy test the week before. I argued with the doctor that I wasn't that far along when she told me I was about 7 weeks. They took me for an ultrasound and saw no baby :(
I started panicking and the lady told me it could just mean that I'm really early. I went back to my room and waited...for like 2 hours. At this point I got really agitated bc I was exhausted. One doctor came in and told me they're waiting for the Gyn bc there was a mass that worried her (the ring of fire) and she just wanted to make sure basically that it wasn't an ectopic pregnancy. The Gyn came and spoke to me and asked me if I felt any pain, I told him no and he did his internal exam and asked me if I was in pain and said "hmm as I thought" and sent me on my way. He explained to me that everything seemed okay, and that I was definitely pregnant bc my hcg level was in the upper 400s. He told me to check back with him in a week so that they could test my hcg levels again and perform another ultrasound. Has this ever happened to anyone?
Well cross your fingers and hope all goes well for my 2018 baby .
I know I keep posting about this baby of mine but I am so excited and still cannot believe it
