I'm Pregnant!

So, Yesterday moring (Sunday) I woke up at 5am to take a pregnancy test. I was 11dp3dt. I was just about to leave it in the bathroom when, holy moly, a second line!!!!! I have never gotten a second line. EVER!!

So I waited until a fairly resonable hour to sms Paula and let her know, and off she sends me to a Lancet lab to go do bloods. I go do the bloods (after being grilled as to why a surgeon wants a pregnancy test from a 'so-called' patient) and then the waiting began!

I was going out of my mind! It was such a long day. I even did another hpt to see if the second line was still there!
Anyway, at 6pm Paula phones:

P: Congrats Eve, you are pregnant

Eve: (Giggling) Really? Oh wow! What was the beta?

P: 208!

Eve: What? Oh crap!!!

So the panic set in already = the possibility of twins. I cant afford to look after twins at all! (anyway, that is for another post)

This morning I decide to go do my official test at Vitalab. The sister phones back an hour later, and says: Congrats! You are pregnant! Your beta is 290!

I went back to Vitalab this afternoon for another script for Cyclogest etc and further instrucions. WHile I was waiting for the sister to bring my script, Dr Jacobson walks into the office with a huge grin on his face! He hugged me so tightly and said: Evie my sweetheart! Congratulations! This is excellent news, and I cannot wait to hear your baby's heartbeat! He is so sweet!

My first scan is only on the 12th October! Another wait! Oh, and she says I am roughly 4 weeks pregnant.

So, here I am. Pregnant. And not sure how I am feeling. Is this normal? Because I want to cry out of sheer panic.

My baby is currently the size of a poppyseed:

In week 3, sperm meets egg, and voila: conception! Your little zygote sets off on a six-day trek through your fallopian tubes, dividing and redividing into identical cells as it travels to your uterus.


In week 4, now safe in your womb, the ball of cells (blastocyst) splits in two, becoming the embryo and the placenta. The amniotic sac and fluid are forming around baby, and will act as a cushion for the next eight months.
