So the last few months have been a bit crazy.Well, actually REALLY crazy. About 4 months ago I found out i was pregnant. My husband and I were both very excited and really looking forward to our new journey. After i found out, which was at around 6 weeks gestation, I stopped going to the gym because I hadn't gone to the doctor yet and wasn't sure what I was allowed to do exercise wise ( weight lifting etc.) When we went to the doctor at 10 weeks, I was told everything was fine and that i could continue my normal exercise routine. My morning sickness was really bad at that point and I was extremely tired all the time. I kept up my healthy eating for the most part but gave in to a few of the cravings. We continued to go to our regular doctor check ups and everything seemed to be going great with the pregnancy. Outside of that, my life was a mess. I had quit my job a few weeks before I found out I was pregnant and went to work for a friend who promised me more money than I was making at my prior job even though they didn't have any health benefits I took it. Turns out when i got my first pay check, she was actually paying me LESS than what i was making at my prior job. I was very angry and felt really betrayed and once I found out i was pregnant, the stress of it really took a toll. My family has never been very supportive of the choices i make in my life, and they ask for so much from me financially, which i couldn't give them and that was another source of stress. My relationship with my husband was going well for the most part, but I know he was under a lot of stress and pressure because I was pregnant and wanted to provide for me and the baby. Fast forward 3 months...I woke up one morning and my pj bottoms were wet, like i had peed the bed. I went to the bathroom and wiped and there were traces of blood on the toilet paper. I went into a panic and immediately called my doctor. The doctor asked me if i was experiencing any pain, I said only slight cramping, but no extreme pain, he asked if I have a fever, I said no. The doctor told me to relax and to come in first thing the next morning, and that it might just be spotting from the pregnancy. I took his word and went about my day, to work. I hadn't told my husband anything because he was at work and isn't allowed to have his cellphone for security purposes because he was working at the NSA at the time, I waited until I came home to tell him and he was really upset with me that I didn't tell him because he said he would have taken me to the ER. I told him I already spoke to the doctor and he told me to come in first thing in the morning. The next morning I drove to the doctor's office and the first thing they did was do an ultrasound. I remember feeling very anxious. They rolled the ultrasound around for a minute and there was silence, they did it again and still could not find the heartbeat. I was devastated. They told me the baby was gone and that they would have to do a D&C to empty my uterus. I cried on the table for what seemed like forever because I was thinking about how badly my husband and I wanted this baby. I then called my husband at the office line he gave me at the NSA to reach him and told him the news. He was silent for a while and I could hear him sniffling and crying. I told him that they were going to do the surgery and that I would need him to come pick me up in a few hours. I don't think i've ever experienced as much emotional pain as I did that day and that i'm still feeling today. My husband took it very hard and he wasn't able to go to work for 3 days and stayed home with me to take care of me. As terrible as that experience was, I'm glad I wasn't alone and that he was so supportive and caring of me. The next few days into recovery I was checking my e-mail and I saw an e-mail from a job I sent my resume to who were interested in having me join their team. I e-mailed back and they asked me to come in for an interview the following monday. As terrible as i still felt and put on my interview clothes and went. I was nervous about doing well in the interview because i'm a very transparent person and I was afraid they could see the pain in my face. But i pulled through and it turned out they really liked me. Two days later I received a phone call from the CEO of the company asking me If I would like to start the following week. of course I said yes and he sent me an offer letter in minutes. They pay is MUCH higher than I was getting at my previous job, with great benefits and a great office environment. i started here last week and so far i'm enjoying it. I guess everything happens for a reason and maybe it wasn't the right time for the baby. My husband and i's bond is much stronger after this experience and we are looking forward to moving to a better place and preparing better for the next time I get pregnant. I am also working on managing my stress levels and getting back on my exercise regime. I only gained 5 pounds during that pregnancy, but it feels like so much more since I wasn't going to the gym, and I look forward to getting those 5 pounds and starting fresh. :)
