NEW MEMBER SURVEY:
1. Name or nickname? Camille
2. Date you are expecting? 02/13/2010
3. What was your reaction when you found out? A mixture of horror and joy
4. How long did it take you to conceive? Not long. We weren't trying, but we weren't NOT trying. It only took a couple of times before I conceived.
5. First baby or second or third etc? First
6. What are your thoughts about being pregnant and/or becoming a mom? At first, I was in a constant state of disbelief. I've always wanted to be a mother, but I've been so sick with this pregnancy, it's been awful. The first month was okay. The 2nd through the fourth were awful. I was sick all of the time. I threw up so violently, it scared people. The fifth month it subsided a little. At the beginning of November I was hospitalized with blood sugars in the 500s (normal is 60-100), at the end of November, I was hospitalized again and they found stones in my gallbladder. So, most of my pregnancy, I've been convinced I have a horrible little parasitic monster growing in my belly trying to kill me. Until I saw the ultrasound and started feeling her move. But it's still been a miserable existence for me, and I'm so ready to be done. :(
In addition to that, I get nervous sometimes. While she's inside of me, I feel like she's safe and fine...but on the outside, she'll be so helpless and there are so many things to keep her safe from.
7. Any other personal info you'd like to share? For example, your age, location, or marital status?
8. Any other things about your situation or yourself that you'd like to share or that you think we should know? I'm just lonely and depressed. I had to quit my job at the beginning of December and it's made me feel useless, on top of feeling so crappy.
