First time Mom

Blue

Hello everyone. I'm new to this app, and to being pregnant. I'm 20, and this is my first baby. Me and my partner have been trying for a lil over a year to get pregnant , and it's finally happened. I got my first positive test October 4th, 2023. Not gonna lie, I was extremely sceptical as I was thought to be infertile, so during the duration of that same day, I ended up taking 4 tests in total, all coming out to be positive.

The next day, the 5th, I call my Dr. to get my blood work done, and got it done the next day. I don't get my results until the 10th, so after posting this, it'll be in 2 days. I'm nervous but hopeful it's really true and knowing exactly how far along I am.

I am extremely paranoid and cautious about what I eat and drink, I don't know everything that can harm the baby. So that's something I'll definitely need to calm down with, but I just want to be cautious.

I had actually been pregnant once before, but was not aware of it. It was said to be I was approximately a month along, however I ended up having a miscarriage and losing my baby on November 18th, 2021. I was devastated and lost a lot of hope on becoming a mother. Which, has been my biggest and only truest dream since I was in high school.

All of my family knows about my pregnancy, and I have a lot of support from them, which I appreciate a lot. There's some, private, things with family that I don't know if it's ok to discuss here, but certain members of my family won't get to meet the baby.

My closest friends know, and my bff has been deemed Godmother.

I do have slight feelings of this being a "Too good to be true" type of thing, or a series of false positives tests (I have been taking one every day since I found out because I am so worried of losing them)

I don't have any friends in my state, being Colorado, nor do I know any Mom friends in my age group, so I don't have much feminine support. So if you live in Colorado and would like to be friends, I would much appreciate it and you!
