Help Calm Me
I am curious/wondering if maybe I'm not crazy. I'm slightly worried that I may be pregnant. After having unprotected sex with my husband, I realized that we were really close to ovulation time (one of the few times we've done it since I went off the pill...due to the fact I didn't want to go back to the clinic, I know, my own mistake). In the past couple days, I've started getting sick (nauseated, upset tummy, couldn't drag my butt out of bed yesterday), getting real senative to smells (nearly threw up last night when my son was eating his dinner...he was in the kitchen and I was in the living room and could smell it), and now my breasts are super tender. I know a lot of people will say, "it's too soon to tell" but looking back on my pregnancy with my son, I started getting sick virtually the next day of his conception (I didn't find out I was pregnant until 8 weeks later, but looking back I saw that I should have known A LOT sooner!). I had a super hard pregnancy with him and I've got problems that could really make any other pregnancy problematic. I really don't want another child, but if I am pregnant, then I will accept it and love that child as much as I love my son.
Maybe I'm trying to convince myself I'm not. It's still too soon to do a home test. Do you think I'm nuts or is there a chance? Maybe there's no answer until time tells, but it's here in my head.

You may not be crazy- just pregnant. My daughter was only 4 months old when I got pregnant with this baby. We thought we were being safe, but I knew the next day I was pregnant. I felt it from the start. I didn't know for a few couple weeks with my first child. I just felt it this time. So it is possible to know ahead of time. My doctor said to use a First Response test about 1- 2 weeks after I thought it happened because it was as accurate as the urine tests they use there. What do you know? I'm 8 months pregnant again. I wasn't sure I wanted more children when I got pregnant this time either, but it has all worked out and I am really, really glad it happened. Also, this pregnancy went by a lot quicker and with fewer worries than my first. I wish you the best of luck either way!

Well my husband and I recent found out that we are expecting again. Our daughter will be a year on Sept 22. I have a 3 1/2 yr old from a previous marriage and my husband has a 6 yr old and an almost 3 yr old from previous relationships. We already have more than enough kids. We had talked about having another one in 3 or 4 yrs, but thats not what happened. I have recently decided that everything happens for a reason. You may not feel it is time or you may not have wanted another child just yet. I do believe that Gad has his reasons and everything will work out for the best. However with you worrying so much it may be your mind playing tricks on you. I hope everything goes ok either way. I also have very hard pregnancy. I have very bad diabetes and it is very hard to control when I am not pregnant and even harder when I am. I also developed high blood pressure towards the end of both of my pregnancies. I can recomend a great high risk octor if you do end up needing one. His name is doctor Fadel. He is on the 5th floor at university. If you would like more information just let me know. You and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers.

You never know. I had the same kind of symptoms with my daughter. My urine had a very distinctive smell,and that was what really made me think I was, and sure enough.
Good Luck and let us know.

T.M. answers from Macon on August 17, 2007
Hi R., how are you? I know you are worried. Ir i were you, i would take a pregnancy test. You know your own body; and nowadays they have test that can detect pregnancy early; even after a few days of intercourse. I understand you don't want another child after how hard it was for you the first time. How does your husband feel? Will he be upset if you are pregnant? If the test comes back negative, go to the clinic for a second opinion. If your still getting negative results; and still feeling the same way; just way a few more weeks. Like you said, you know your body. I was the same way with my children. Good luck and god bless!
