My Second Pregnancy - Finding Out

The three months before I found out that I was expecting baby #2, I was addicted to peeing on a stick. I'd have a stock pile in the house and I'd feel so down every time I got a negative result back. I wasn't stupid though. I know my body. I still got my pre-menstrual cramps so I knew my period was coming. It was just wishful thinking. This time was different. 

It was about a week before Christmas and I had complained that my breasts were feeling a bit sore. Obviously, this could have just been because my period was coming so I thought nothing of it. I then started to lose my appetite. Again, this is relatively normal for me. I don't eat a lot, maybe about 1 or 2 meals a day so it didn't bother me. My period was due on Boxing Day and I was moaning at Chris "Eugh, I'm gonna be so bloated and feeling rubbish over Christmas!" Christmas Eve came and I still didn't have any of my tell-tale pre-menstrual cramps. On Christmas morning, I tested. The Control line came up to say that the test had worked, but the Test line was horizontal instead of vertical. I told Chris that "it's only positive if it's vertical" and off we went to have a lovely Christmas. 

Sunday, 29th December, my period was three days late. Still no cramps. I had stayed at my parents the night before and woke up wanting a sausage sandwich with brown sauce for breakfast - nothing else would do! I told Chris that I was going to test again when I got home. I knew my body, and I knew something wasn't right. 

In I went and yep, clear as day, a BFP! 

Chris didn't believe that it was positive as it was so faint but I told him, "a line is a line!" 

At the time of writing this (30th Dec 2012) I am roughly 4 weeks pregnant. Once the initial happiness went away, I felt scared. After what happened with C, I don't want another premature birth. I want to have that big, uncomfortable bump that I didn't get first time around. 

Only time will tell!
