Surprise! You're Pregnant!
I am a graduate student in Georgia, expecting my first child with my fiancee. I just found out a little over a week ago, and the reality still hasn't quite set in. I am excited, nervous, scared, and overwhelmed, all at the same time! I have serious concerns over miscarriage, and many questions over what I am feeling in my abdomen. Are my feelings natural? How do I get over the fear of miscarriage? Have I taken care of my body well enough to provide support to my growing baby? How much lifting and heavy work should I do in this stage of pregnancy? Am I going to be able to finish my Master's degree, and how much more time is it going to take me? So many questions, and no answers as of yet because I am waiting for my first appointment with the ob/gyn. I have no regrets over the conception, and I cannot wait to meet the life growing inside of me. I just know this is going to take some time to adjust, and to figure out how this will affect our lives and our plans for the future!
