First time Mom
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!
