Well my story is one like no other. Im 21 yrs old and just found out im pregnant... Yes I just found out. Now im sure your wondering how that could be. Well... Ive been having my period regularly and iv been on birth control the same birth control for 3yrs. No morning sickness, no tenderness, no excessive weight gain.... Yikes. I took a random test just because I went to put my patch on (birth control) and got this horrible pain in my stomach lower abdomen. I thought it would just go away... It didn't so I took the patch off and scared myself into taking the home preg. Test. Sure enough after three tests im convined im pregnant. I had the sonogram done and thats where I got 5 months.


So as you can see I am far behind on the duties I should have been taking care of from the start. Vitamins, doctors appt., etc.

Please I am alittle overwhelmed and want to do what I can to plat catch up. If anyone has any advice please toss it my way. Thank you all. :!: :!:

If I were you i'd call your gyno and schedule an appointment. Tell them you just found out and they will take you from there. But try to get in there a/s/a/p!

Sorry. Yes ladies I went to the doctor. I have had ne doctor visit and 2 sonograms done so far. I have another doc appt this wed. 9/14/05. I got the news that I am having a precious baby girl.
I also sat with a genetic couselar and we talked about the whole birth control issue. She said my chances are minimal due to the type of bc and the low dosage. Although there is still a 1% chance that it may have effected her. If in fact it did it would be nothing major at all. We disgused exectly what it would be and its very minimual. (please pray for her good health anyway)
the doc also said she looks beautiful....She has a beautifully arched spined and he got a perfect shot of her heart. He said it is one of the most perfect ones he's seen. He daid she is developing greatly and her heartbeat is so cool... I could listen to it all day. She's very active in there thats for sure. We got some great sono pics of her that the doc gave us.

Again ladies thank you so much for you concern...Please keep us in our prayers we appreciate it deeply.

Well nicknack, congrats to you as well on your baby girl. Seems like everyone now a days is having a bundle of love and it being a girl. I am glad I found out when I did because I still wasn't having any sickness or missing a period. Mothers instinct I suppose. Lol lol.

I have a doctors appt wed so I will be glad to keep you updated.
Thanks again for your prayers.
