Week 7: My baby’s first picture

At 7 weeks and 5 days, my little one is still an embryo. His/her heart rate beats as fast as 165 bpm, a normal rate for babies his/her age. Gender is still unknown, so I have to wait until baby reaches 20 weeks.

Week 6: First pre-natal visit

Disappointing.

I was expecting a cheerful and enthusiastic doctor to congratulate us for having successfully created a miracle of life. Nah. Dr. Q just asked for my LMP (Last Menstrual Period) and informed us when the baby is due. Asked me to have some lab tests, and gave me prescription for my vitamins. She said I was going to give birth on the last week of July.

Boring. No connection.

I didn’t feel comfortable with the doctor and I could not envision myself to be under Dr. Q’s knife. So, I’m thinking of going to another doctor soon.

Weeks 1-4: Innocent of what’s happening inside my body until…Week 5.

Week 1: Week where last AF started.

Week 2:  DTD. OV.

Week 3: Some signs showing up but I didn’t really mind because they also felt like signs of AF coming. Tender and heavy BBs.

Week 4: I bought a lot of pads because I felt like AF was coming, big time.

Week 5: Some signs of AF coming, but I’m a bit bothered why it’s delayed…thought I was sick or something’s wrong with my system. When I told my friend about it, she told me to by a HPT. She bought one for me… we tested and it was a big fat POSITIVE.

My eyes were fixed on the test pack from the time I dropped pee samples until the lines became red. Two red lines… and my future flashed so fast in my mind, I could see where my life was going now. I found direction. I found hope, a sparkle of light at the end of the tunnel. I’m going to be a mommy!
