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. :!: :!:

Sometimes I think I feel something. But I mean I just found out, so what could have been the baby might have never crossed my mind before. I cant lay on my tummy its akward. I hope all is well with the baby. I just dont know what to expect or what things should feel like its my first. Im just learning all the little things like no medicine, no sodas, lots of veggies that kind of stuff. I need to know more thats for sure. Any little neat and helpful things I should know would help alot. Im trying to get to the doc asap so keep you fingers crossed for me. :)

Well realy it souds like your doing everthing you can for the baby right now untill you know more from the doc. Just dont stress out, because the baby knows when you are. And get a baby book so you can write down things through out your pregnancy and things about the baby as it grows. I wish I had done that you know like write dow nwhen you first felt it hick up ect... Like little fun facts you want to remember. And start planning for ya'll future. I saw your from texas where @? Im in san antonio now but my home town is snyder, texas an small town! Lol if you have any more questions or any thing or just want to talk im here lol. Feel free to write me. Congrat.S! And good luck!

I am in san antonio also... Cool fellow texans :d
i got the sonogram from a place up th street... A womens clinic.
It hadn't dawned on me yet to get a baby book... Thanks id probably regret it later if I dont at least start now. I feel the tiniest things in my tummy from now and then but like I said I have no clue what is what or what to expect. As for the docotrs appt. Im working on it. I need to apply for medicaid and go from there all asap. Im still learning, do you mommies know any good sites that can tell me the dos and donts during pregnancies??

If you ladies think of anything I should know let me know... Thank you.

In the beginning around 4 months or later you feel something like a fluttering of butterfly, then little bitty kicks and pokes and be4 you know it you'll be saying that was his foot--or her hand.

Oh yeah did they find out what your having?
Must be nice to only have to expect it for 4 months instead of the rest finding out early we have to expect for 7 months or more!!

Im on the northwest side near the medical center. Where do you go for your docs appts. Ifyou dont mind me asking?

I haven't yet found out the sex. I would like to know :) its got its perks I guess. I mean its my first time so I maybe would have liked to know the whole 9 months. Ive got lots to catch up on and it being my first time makes it alittle more scary for me.
