2008 - August

August 10th 2008

Just a reminder of what I was looking like:

I then got one of these

A few days ago I was looking like this and weighing 12st 12lbs:

And now (10th August) I look like this at only 5weeks 4 days! (and I daren't get weighed!)

It is early days and I have gone through the mill with doctors and hospitals, so at the moment I am just keeping my fingers crossed that everything is going to be OK.
The first sign that I knew something was different was when I gagged on a tuna sandwitch and the thought of a kit kat turned my stomach!
I havn't had a chance to enjoy this yet and wont know any outcome till 18th August at the earliest.
The doctors thought I had miscarried 11 days ago, but I somehow don't think this belly would have popped up if I had or that i would still be testing positive. Then they said my levels hadn't doubled, but my belly seems to have!
I am holding onto the thought that their tests are wrong, or that I was carrying twins and lost one.
I can't get too excited just yet as all the medical people have been telling me I either lost it 11 days ago or I will lose it because I had a 3/4 day light bleed on the day my period was due, which is actually quite common (so much for positive thinking from medics!)
My body is telling me differently, and going by my instinct since ''popping out'' I would say I have a good chance of everything being Ok, and stuff the medics who don't know their arse from their elbow, because they really dont.
Three times the hospital did urine tests strips and 3 times they came out negative - I had blood taken for hcg levels and that showed I am pregnant, so so much for their ''accurate'' tests. Even all my home tests have come up positive - so don't always trust hospitals and doctors is my advice.
They are not always right.

I am eating well. I have gone off my old naughty favourites and infact have very little appetite due to the stress of the arsehole medics (you can tell how much I love them!)
I feel like I have lost some body fat from my collar bones but I am eating a good diet.

I should hope I wouldn't gain more than 2 stones, but judging my latest photo who knows!!!
As long as the baby is healthy that's really my main concern - I can lose the weight all over again if I have to!
