The first trimester in my experience is not very exciting. With morning sickness and exhaustion what else is there besides the fact of just knowing you are pregnant.
With us it took us a while to finally get pregnant. Buying books, trying different things, and going to doctors we were thrilled when we found out. But after a week or so of being elated and scared to death. The sickness started. I really dont like how it is called morning sickness so I am going to call it the Sickness.
It is so nerve racking to sit there and carry on with your normal day to day life when there is a fear of miscarrying or you feel like you will hurl any second.
The first trimester brings the first fears and tears. All those hormones raging inside and your mind going crazy with thoughts of becoming a parent or what if something happened.
How do women do it? With all this stuff going on you would think we will go insane from all the worry and stress.
Since I had a previous ectopic pregnancy before and this was the first time we were pregnant since then I was completely scared out of my mind that something would go wrong. We went to the doctor and had an ultrasound done to make sure everything was okay. What a relief it is to see or hear that little heartbeat for the first time. Here is a picture of our little one at 6 weeks.
We then had another ultrasound done at ten weeks.
We had traveled across the country and had to switch doctors so they did it to just make sure things were still going good.
How exciting and wonderful it is to actually see your baby moving around and that there is something actually alive and growing inside of you!
