Re: Looking back on memory lane for us July/2004 gals!
When did you get your first BFP? i never took a HPT with sammie ... was at the doc for another problem and asked for a pregnancy test ... i lied and said i was late for my cycle so they'd do it! but i wasnt late, i was about 3-4 days before my cycle was due ... their urine test came back negative so they told me no i was not preggo, but they had done a blood test too and called me that evening to tell me the blood test was positive!
Was it a planned pregnancy or a total surprise? totally planned, redeployment baby! dennis had been deployed for 8 months before sammie was conceived
How did you tell DH/SO and other children? since it was such a shock to find out the test was indeed positive, i just blurted it out to him when he got home! no other kids to tell ...
Did you have any symptoms prior to getting your BFP? i dont think so, not that i remember
After you found out that you were preggers, were you hoping for a girl or a boy? a boy (i was scared to have a girl LOL)
How did you feel for the first trimester? I was exhausted! I would nap every day after work and go to bed really early too ... no nausea though ... VERY sore boobs!!!
Any specific cravings that you remember? toward the end I craved gatorade, milk, peas with melted butter
What was your labor and birth experience like on a scale of 1-10? I'd say an 8 ... after my epidural it was great but it lasted a long time ... I labored at home for about 13-14 hours in early labor and then was at the hospital in labor for 15 hours ...
What were your pospartum weeks like? I had a great postpartum! healed quickly, sammie was an easy baby, had a lot of help the first few weeks with family coming and dennis was off work for 3 weeks ...
