About Me
First pregnancy at age 33Decided to try to conceive Feb 24, 2013 I think it was too late in the cycle for it to actually count, we decided right around the apparent time to ovulation. In fact I had a sharp pain in my lower abdomen which is what made Scott bring the idea up. I believe that sharp pain was ovulation so the only day that would count was that very night we decided.
It took 7 cycles (6 months) to get pregnant. My cycles are slightly shorter that normal (25 days) so every once in awhile I will have 2 cycles in the same month.
Deciding factors in taking a pregnancy test with no doubt of it being negative:
1. Late period (obviously) was only 1 day late though
2. Extremely strong "gut" feeling
3. Unusually creamy cervical mucus throughout the entire luteal phase.
4. Change in spotting pattern
5. Unusual diarrhea
6. Really low abdominal flutterings (definitely lower than stomach), had the pinching, pulling, gurgling, and pressure for a week before taking test.
7. Felt like I had a cold the whole week leading up to me taking the test, which lasted well beyond finding out I was pregnant.
My Birth Plan
At this point I plan on having an epidural. I am hoping I can hold off on going to the hospital until I really need to. With this being my first pregnancy and no one really here to help me determine when I should go to the hospital, I have a feeling I might go too early. Yeah birthing classes are supposed to help with that but I don't think straight when I'm in pain.I'm only expecting Scott to be with me during labor, like I said no other family is around. I know I don't want to be alone so I hope Scott isn't working when I go into actual labor.
