So....I just took a home test and it turns out , I'm pregnant. I just decreased my hours at work and now I'm worried about money and being pregnant.
Just cannot even think straight right now.

Normally, I would be excited but I am not. I know that sounds harsh but I have had not so good experiences with my previous pregnancies. 1 ectopic that ended with me getting emergency surgery, 4 miscarriages and my water broke at 26 weeks with my son.
The funny thing is I was actually trying to get pregnant in the past and had such a difficult time. Now? I've had sex once in the last 3 months and it happens!
It is what it is and I will deal but the timing is just awful. I stopped all my meds and supps but I'm a bit worried since I was taking stuff I should not have been.

Just take a breath and relax...take everything one day at a time or one hour at a time. Stress is not a good thing in any condition. The best things happen when we least expect them, congratulations and take care.

I agree that you shouldn't worry about what drugs you've already taken while pregnant.
Look at this: Over 60% of mothers were cigerette smokers in the 1950's. Does that mean that all of their children were messed up? No. I would say that most of them are normal.
On the other hand: I get goofy sometimes, and my parents never smoked.

Well, one way to look at it is that God's timing is the best! A big shock, I am sure, and I feel for you!! But all will work out for you!

That is very true Lymetoo. Makes me think back to when I found out I was pregnant with my son. I was only 20...no job and homeless. I remember I cried for days because I didn't know what I was gonna do.
But we made out fine.
You're right James and I'm not gonna worry. If I wasn't keeping track of my lyme symptoms, I wouldn't even have realized I was late! I've never really paid much attention or kept track of that but started to since I was already charting my symptoms.
I was looking over my charts this morning and thought...OMG! I'm 5 days late. Ran to the store right away and bought a test.
I looked through all my meds and I'll just stay on the vitamins and the Ceftin. That seems to be okay to take. I stopped the Bactrim though along with most everything else until I talk with the doc. I'm calling Monday and setting up an appt with someone other than the doc I was seeing.
What sucks is I just ordered a bunch of stuff online and it wasn't cheap! Can't take any of it though but I think it will last. At least I hope so!
