Where to begin :) 11 or so years ago I had cancer at a young age. Doctors put me on the depot shot to stop my periods. after coming off then years ago my periods never really came back. last year I had the odd one every 3 months or so the last one being in July? 10 or so years ago I was told that I may not be able to have children. I was heart broken but always thought about adopting when the time was right. fast forward 11 plus years. I'm madly in love with my soul mate. we have been together for more than 3 years he knows all my history and what doctors have told me. lately over the last month or so I've been sick off and on. Right before Halloween I was sick almost every morning for about a week. I figured it was due to a bad tooth. But then I started bloating couldn't sleep on my side or tummy, and peeing like crazy. up atleast 3 to 4 times in the night along with other happenings. I usually have a strong bladder in the first place. I had booked an doctors appointment over a week ago because of my stomach issues. Today I decided to take a test to rule in or out what I could as the symptoms wernt so tooth related anymore. my test was Positive!!! :D I think I went through every emotion possible. then had to wait for my love to come home to tell him :D he was so happy with the news! Now I'm just feeling lost.. where to start. I have issues with my family doctors receptionist that likes to inform other family members or even the smallest thing such as dates and times or normal appointments. so that has me concerned as we want to keep this grand news to ourselves right now until we know more. Any suggestions on where to start? and what to do about this doctor situation?
I'd wait till about 3 months to tell everyone . it's the safe zone. I did that with both my babies
congrats mama !!
I would imagine you should lose your job for doing that. what ever happened to patient confidentiality. and of course! whatever is best for you and your now growing family :)
it's very upsetting for the receptionist to be doing so, it's time and time again before this blessing and you'd think you would loose your job for doing so? and Im sure we'll need to travel but that's okay too :) I'd rather the 3 of us be somewhere that we feel completely comfortable.
awe :( I had a great experience with my mat clinic so it may be worth the drive :) hopefully something works out. I'd be pretty upset if the receptionist at my doctors office was telling my family about my appointments and such.
Thank you so very much. And that's is what I was thinking but around here you have to travel no matter what basicly. other then my family doctor that's a 10 min drive away.
congrats! when it comes to the doctor try and find a maternity clinic in your area. that's what I had to do because my family doctor is an hour away from me so they suggested a maternity clinic so I was closer to home. Congrats again! !
Thank you! I don't think it's fully sunk in yet.. being told for years you'll never pass that "test" and then you do. It's so very shocking and unreal right now. I just know we are both so very happy!
Thank you and I'm leaning towards us telling close family after my appointment on Friday as I have had alot of health issues in the past and I think it would be best to be open about it. I know people usually wait but everyone's different plus my belly isn't just looking fat anymore :P
