Pregnancy worries
I am going through my first cold as a pregnant woman. Since I know I am not allowed to take anything for the cold I am really suffering here. Thank God, I haven’t gotten a fever which is what really worries me. Being pregnant for the first time is absolutely terrifying. Every pain, every cramp has me praying that everything will be ok. I can’t imagine going through this for the whole nine months, but I suppose it will most likely not change, being my first pregnancy and all.
I am scared and worried about so many things; everything I do is a huge decision now, from what I eat, to what I drink, how I sit, where I go. My mom isn’t making this any easier either, she is constantly telling me that there are so many things I can’t do that it is driving me insane, but I know it is for my well being, so I don’t whine much about it.
Another thing that I know is doing me a lot of good is the aversion I have for any junk food and sweets. I crave none of it, on the contrary, any time I have tried to eat anything like that has made me feel incredibly sick. I am eating well, lots of fruit and healthy meals. Thank God I had lost almost all the weight I had gained with the birth control pills, but I know I am still over weight starting a pregnancy; I really don’t want to gain more weight than is necessary for the baby to grow in a healthy way. I am also worried about how far along I actually am; since I don’t ovulate regularly I really don’t know when I conceived. My last period started on June 8 and tested two weeks after I was late, but my doctor won’t see me until a week from now and I worry that I will already be almost 7 weeks until he sees me. I have no idea if these worries are legit or if I am just trying to make myself crazy. There are a dozen other things I am worried about, but I really don’t want to dwell on any of them right now. I am sure I will be around again soon.
