Good morning! I've been on 3FC for a couple of months, but hanging out in the 20-somethings forum. Life changed a week ago though, ha. After feeling off for a few weeks, a friend of mine finally convinced me to take a pregnancy test despite the fact I've been on Seasonique BC pills for a year.
Well, I'm here, so obviously we know the result of that test (and the additional 3 I took in quick succession). Our first OB appointment Friday revealed that I'm FIVE months pregnant, and we're expecting a baby boy. That was one heck of a day, let me tell you.
The good news is, as well as can be told at this time: he looks healthy and is developing as he should be.
The not really bad news, but my concern: I never ever planned to get pregnant at this weight. I think being exceptionally conscious of this is a help, as I have armed myself with information and questions and proper eating and anything else I could possibly do to make this easier. Well.. I got to five months without even knowing it, I don't think the pregnancy could get any easier! But I mean to make myself and the little guy as healthy as possible.
So I guess I'm just here for extra support when I need it and tips to get through the pregnancy as healthy as we can.
I plan to breastfeed also, so it looks like I can find some help with that here too.
