Week 4

(March 25th- April 1st)

Emotional: It was in the middle of week 4 when I found out I was pregnant. My period was a few days late and my cycle was usually pretty regular. I bought a home pregnancy test during my spare at school and returned to the school washroom to do the test. It was pretty scary! The test was missing a part too, you're supposed to pee into a cup and then use the dropper to put a few drops of urine onto the test strip. The dropper was missing so I ended up using a straw from my juice box! And then after a few minutes, the test showed that I was pregnant. It was really shocking news but didn't really settle in. I went and told a friend of mine that I'd told about being late and going to get the test. I cried a little bit, but it didn't seem that distressing. That night, I went out with my friends and it didn't seem like anything was wrong at all! I think I was moslty in schock at this point. I told my best friend and called the father to let him know. I think they reacted even more than I did. I was still laughing and joking as if nothing was the matter. I went to my doctors to confirm that I was pregnant- their test came out positive as well. It started sinking in slowly after that, and soon it hit me that I had a huge choice to make that would affect the rest of my life.

Physical:

I started feeling a little bit queasy. They call it morning sickness although I don't know why! This nausea can strike at any time of day! I also started getting really tired and one day I had to nap right after school for a few hours! I also noticed that I had to urintate more often than usual.
