BFP Story

Ieshia • 5.2.15 💍 6.19.16 👦🏽 #2 due July 2020 🥰👶🏽

Hey ladies, just wanted to share my story just in case someone is having the same symptoms as I was. Sorry for the long post!!

So I’ve pretty much been sick since since the end of October (nausea, headache, back pain heartburn...etc) but I was chalking all of that up to the anxiety attacks I was having. The last couple of weeks has been really stressful for me and I started having these episodes where I wouldn’t eat and I thought all of my symptoms were coming from that. I thought I was making myself sick. Fast forward to the first week in November. I went to the hospital because I felt sick to the point of me thinking that something was wrong with me. The first thing they asked was if I was pregnant. Of course I said no because it hadn’t crossed my mind and my period was still 2wks away. They did a pregnancy test anyway and also some blood work ( they didn’t do a blood pregnancy test only a urine). Of course the test came back negative. I was diagnosed with a UTI and they also said my abdominal pains were epigastric ( apparently I have a lot of acid in my stomach). They wanted to do a scan thank god I didn’t let them. My blood work came back showing no signs of concern the only thing was that I was slightly anemic. So I’m taking the medicine for the UTI and he told me to take omeprazole for the acid reflux. I have two different period tracking apps. One said AF was due on the 10th the other said the 11th. On the 9th I had light pink spotting. Only once that day and only when I wiped. I thought this was AF starting. The 11th comes and I’m noticing that my period hasn’t started yet. I usually start after the day I start spotting. I checked my apps to make sure I had the dates right and I did. I remembered that the same thing happened with my son. I spotted 1-2 days before AF was due and nothing after that. I took a test based off of that. I really wasn’t expecting it to come back positive, but it did!! I went to the clinic to confirm my pregnancy and she told me that I most likely conceived on October 26th, which means I was pregnant the whole time I thought something was wrong with me 😂😂 The signs were right there in my face and I ignored them! The only other time I’ve had an UTI was when I was pregnant. I had to take iron pills my last pregnancy because I was anemic. The nausea, heartburn, sore boobs....HOW DID I MISS ALL THAT??! Now that I know I’m pregnant it seems like my symptoms has gone away, which worries me.

I was too caught up in head to realize that I was pregnant. The anxiety attacks had really taken over. I hope my little bean is okay because I did have 2 drinks before I knew I was pregnant. And I stopped taking the medicine I was given because I didn’t know if it was safe or not. Baby dust to all of you ladies TTC! And a happy & healthy 9 months to those who are on this journey with me!
