So I had my implant removed at the end of July this year, my GP advised it can take anything between 3-6 even 12 months for my “system” to go back to normal. I’ve had irregular periods since I had my implant fitted. Sometimes no periods, sometimes every 3/4 weeks it’s been impossible to track.

So, to my complete surprise I have found that I am infact 6/7 weeks pregnant and I only took a test today because I’ve been feeling sick after I eat and to be honest, assumed a stomach bug and didn’t even consider pregnancy.

I’m pregnant and we are THRILLED! BUT I am so so so worried because I’ve been not living the healthiest of lifestyles. Until today I’ve smoked 10 cigs a day, I’ve drank wine every other night (some nights quite a lot). I’ve eaten soft cheese, deli meats and god knows what else.

I have my first appointment next Monday for bloods etc but I’m so worried I’ve ruined everything before it’s even begun.

Has anyone else found themselves in this situation and if so, how was your pregnancy? What can I do? I feel like a failure
