So, my husband and I were TTC just recently. I came off the pill in June and started taking OTC prenatals to get my body ready. We tried a bit in August and September, but with no luck. Then after some reading about TTC I went to the doctor for a physical as a precaution. Turns out I have a bunch of nodules on my thyroid. My doctor said to lay off TTC for a little while until after my biospy, though my bloodwork is "100% perfect". So, last Wednesday I had my biopsy (4 needles to my neck) and then Friday I had my regularly scheduled OBGYN appointment. My period was supposed to be on Wednesday, but it didn't come yet, so I thought it was stress. At my GYN appointment I told my doc we were trying but stopping TTC until we get the results (in 2 weeks). She had the nurse run a pregnancy test just in case. After I got dressed and walked out the exam room my doctor and the nurses were starring at me and smiling. I was told congrats, you're pregnant! I even got a high 5 from my doctor,
I am very excited and also very in shock, The one month we try not to conceive and now we get pregnant. My husband is still trying to absorb it all. I must be between 2-4 weeks tops. The hardest part of it all is keeping it a seret. I go back to the OBGYN the first week of December and we want to tell everyone after the first ultrasound. The frustating part is I have so many questions and I have been doing my research, but my mom was a nurse and worked the nursery for years and I can't tell her until the 15th, because if she knows, everyone will know.
I'll throw some of my questions out there:
I just started CrossFitt about 3 weeks ago. It's pricey, but I love it and don't want to give up yet (hoping it will help strengthen the baby and me for labor). I know it's intense, but I have been exercising for the past 3 years on a pretty consistant basis. Can I do another month after this month is over?
Any other breakfast ideas other than eggs? I am in a rush in the mornings.
Because I am only like 5 minutes pregnant the only symptoms I have are the pressure in my abdomen and sore breasts. When should I expect the "morning sickness" to begin?
Thanks for the help and/or suggestions you can offer:-)
