Been off of birth control for around a year and a half. 2 days late and today I felt generally a little unwell, couple of dizzy spells, hot, a bit nauseous, so I popped into the pharmacy on the way home to pick up a test, and there it is in pink and white!

I can't quite bring myself to believe it, and I've purchased another brand of test to take tomorrow just to be doubly sure, but its pretty convincing!

Interestingly I started a new job just over a month ago (not great timing, but it is what it is. I didn't expect to fall pregnant given that it hasn't happened in the last year and a half). I was extremely stressed in my last job, and since moving I've been so much happier and not stressed at all. Makes me wonder how much of a factor stress was playing, maybe a coincidence, but I can't help but wonder.

This is my first pregnancy, so I'm extremely nervous and keeping everything crossed 🤞🏻🤞🏻 any words of advice anyone can offer would be much appreciated. Organising a referral to the maternity unit at the hospital tomorrow and phone call with the midwife as the doctors are currently not taking appointments due to the pandemic.
