Just venting really...

I just want to lay this out so I don't have to keep it in.

I think I could be pregnant, but no one else does! I had my first baby in November and we weren't planning to have another for at least a year (probably more). We haven't had alot of s-e-x, but it's happened a few times since I was cleared at 6 weeks (C-section), but with condoms every time. I'm also *not* breastfeeding and I've had two periods, both heavier than normal and a bit longer, at the end of Dec and Jan.

About 4-5 days ago, I started feeling weird, symptoms come and go: mood swings/depression, nausea, bloating, headaches, dizziness when I lay down or sit still, extra saliva, diarrhea, tingling in my shoulder (happened during my first pregnancy), mild cramping. I feel the same way I remember feeling in early pregnancy, but we've been using condoms every time with no obvious mistakes/failures/etc. I think I could be in the 3% that gets pregnant with proper use, but everyone else I talk to about it says it's improbable.

Well, I know that...and I'm not exactly sure I want another baby this close to my first, but I still feel like there might be something going on. And I don't want to find out it's something bad going on with my body. I'd rather it be something good.

I'm not expecting anyone to read this or reply, but if you do and you feel like it, I'd like to know that I'm not alone in this mixed up situation. I'm not crazy, am I? I'll find out in 2-3 weeks anyway. I'm probably not pregnant...but the idea is still there in my mind and I can't stop thinking about it!

Thanks for letting me vent.

I *hate* when people are so unwilling to even think that something is possible, especially when it's your own body, so I know how you feel! I do think it's unlikely, but that's not to say impossible, things like this do happen:) I am with you in the respect that I'd rather just know what's going on with my body, and although pregnancy is not something we were trying for right now, I would rather be pregnant that have something wrong that is affecting me in such odd ways. I hope that you can try to not focus too much on this, you have such a new baby:) Take care and keep us updated.

anything is possible. best thing is to relax and try not to think about it. good luck and i hope you get the answer you want. you could try to test now but it might be too early.

Hi there, feel free to vent anytime you want here...we're always here to listen and offer any advice we can :)


I agree too, I think it's much better to think you might be pregnant that to think something's wrong.
