My First Month of Pregnancy

So.....my first month of pregnancy was kind of surreal. I didn't believe I was pregnant and I had cramps like I was going to start my period any day now. Once I peed on the pregnancy test and there were two lines I was freaking out. After all, I was scared and didn't know what to expect and wasn't planning on having children anytime soon. So as the days went by and the prayers for my period to come didn't seem to be doing any good I finally accepted that my period wasn't going to come. I still didn't accept or feel like I was pregnant. I just felt like a girl that wasn't having a period. I know that may sound horrible but I blame it on the pregnancy horomones that make you feel all kinds of different ways when you are pregnant. Because now I do feel pregnant and I am very happy that I am pregnant. Just getting through that first month of emotions and denial was a little tough. Anyone else ever feel like that in there first month? Where you don't accept that you are pregnant yet? Let me know. Leave a comment!

Hi Everyone!

I am Melissa and I'm 25 years old and I'm 6 1/2 months pregnant with my first child. It has been an eventful 6 1/2 months and I thought that now that I am perscribed bed rest for the rest of my pregnancy I would share my experiences with you guys. Being pregnant is definitely not what I expected it to be. I thought I would get really fat really fast and that wasn't the case. I just got gradually bigger and didn't even look pregnant until I was almost 6 months pregnant. I will be sharing my experiences with you all month by month. I have kept a journal of my pregnancy experience and will relay all my feelings and thoughts to this blog to help other first time Mom's know that what they are feeling and what's happening to their bodies is completely normal. Thanks for your interest in my pregnancy!
