anxious!

Okay so I found out I'm pregnant, the only thing being: I haven't gotten my period since last year, and the nurse at the health department is basing my estimate off my last negative test (fiance and I had been trying to no avail). So according to her I'm about 9 weeks. I've had no nausea, but I've had some food cravings. I'm thinking maybe it's possible that I took the test too soon, so it came back negative, but I just hadn't waited enough. Would that be the case I think I'm about 11 weeks. The nurse based it generically in the middle of the month. Right now I'm waiting for Medicaid to send my letter saying if I was approved or not. I did go ti the er a couple days ago for severe sharp pains in my side, and they did an ultrasound and saw the baby. Hee was moving around a lot. My fiance saw him better than I could and I showed him a picture of an ultra sound from about 11 weeks and down and he did the baby looked like the 11 week one. I'm just going crazy right now, like I really wanna know! Oi!

We're both first time parents and we're anxious to get the party going!

My fiance's brother just had a baby and since I'm new to the area here I think I'm going with her doctor. She said he was excellent. The only issuesis they won't schedule me until I have my Medicaid card in hand.

Once you see a doctor and get an ultra sound they'll be able to tell you how far along you are. I'd call doctor offices if you don't have one in mind and see when the soonest appt you can get.

It wasn't through an ob, it was just in the er. They couldn't measure his heartbeat because he was moving around too much and their machine wasn't that great :(
