After 4 years of marriage, my hubby and I decided that it was time to add a baby into the mix. I went to my OBGYN, at the beginning of November 2006, to discuss trying to get pregnant and to get a clean bill of health. I was told that it could take a few months and to not let it discourage me. Hubby and I began trying immediately. On December 12th, we got an early Christmas present we weren't quite expecting. I went to my regular physician for some pain in my side. Pregnancy hadn't even entered my mind at this point. I was more concerned with possible kidney stones. The nurse asked if I wanted a pregnancy test and I said sure but I didn't think it was really needed. A few minutes later, my doctor came in, felt around on my stomach, asked me some questions, and then said the pregnancy test we gave you was positive. Positive. What did that actually mean? At first, I couldn't comprehend what he was telling me and then it clicked. I'M PREGNANT? So soon? I burst into tears because even though we were actively trying to get pregnant, I didn't not think it would happen so quickly. I was sent for an emergency ultrasound since I was having pain on one specific side. My doctor wanted to rule out ectopic pregnancy. I was determined to be about 4 weeks since I couldn't remember my last menstrual period. After 2 weeks of constant beta checking, I was told that my numbers were going up and that it didn't look like an ectopic pregnancy at all. I was so relieved!
