It's been ages since I checked in....since my pre-conception clinic actually....but I'm pregnant!!!
I found out on Wednesday evening last week, called the doctors on Thursday who said that they wouldn't confirm or deny it until I did a test there (which had to be the first urine sample of the day sent to the local hospital!) so it needed to be sent off on Friday and then the results came back this morning. I had known since last week (having done 3 tests myself!) but it was very frustrating to have to wait over the weekend! I asked for an appointment to speak to the doctor and was then told that I wasn't far gone enough - they say to wait 8 weeks so I explained that I was classed as highrisk so they've booked me in for a 10 minute appointment for the doctor to make it official (AGAIN!) and then will need to go back again for an antenatal clinic.....it all seems so silly but having never been pregnany before I really don't know if it's normal or not!
I spoke to the Diabetes clinic who have said that there's nothing they can do until they get it sent through from the doctor - but they seemed as frustrated as me.
In all honesty, I'm absolutely petrified! I'm paranoid that I will lose it or that I will stress out or that my sugar levels will become really erratic (which they were a lot anyway).
My LMP was 29 June, ovulation 15th July so I'm not very far gone (I think this could be my 4th/5th week)...but worrying all the same. I've also had back ache and tummy pains since last week (no sign of bleeding). Is there anything that I should/shouldn't be doing exercise/food wise?
How's everyone else coming along?
