I'm pregnant! [:-][:-][:-][:-][:-]

We were just married 5 months ago and weren't planning on this right away...plus I had no idea it would be this easy (due to some past medical history). I'm 32, Ron is 42 (he has a daughter from a previous marriage).

I started feeling a little weird last week and took a pregnancy test, which came out negative. Then we went skiing on Saturday and I fell a ton of times, not to mention I had a few beers after. If conception occurred when I think it did (Dec. 31) I've had a few drinks since then but nothing to excess. Even so I'm not happy about all the caffeine and diet drinks I've had!

Anyway, I still felt odd a week later (clothes snug, huge boobs, fantastic fingernails, clear skin, very tired, food-insatiable) so I took the second pregnancy test in the box and it came out positive!! I told Ron this morning and we're both a little freaked but in a good way. He is a "fertile Myrtle" so to speak...just one "slip" in the past few months I guess was enough!

Anyway I am happy and excited and have a ton of questions of course. I called my doctor and they will see me on Jan 31st...Ron and I have decided not to tell anyone until after I see the doctor and we determine that everything is OK.

So I have a brazilian bikini wax scheduled for this evening...is it still safe to do that?

I also am a runner but due to the cold weather I haven't run in several weeks...I suppose I should stick with my cross trainer (elliptical machine) ?

Thanks for giving me a chance to share this with you, I'm kind of in a daze right now!

keep exercising as you would unless the doc says not to or you have a difficult pregnancy. It will only help you with the excess eating you will do and also to keep your baby healthy and not be too big at birth.

Congratulations! My sisters want kids, but not me. And yes, one slip is enough if both of you are fertile.

Huge congratulations Gina. If that last ski trip didn't cause any harm, then I don't you need to be worried about running or other cardio[

]. I'm very excited for you and your husband. It does seem that there have been a lot of pregnancies over the last several months. Obviously not everyone is spending toooo much time on the computer [

Getting pregnant can happen in a bat of an eyelash, and still enough time to be on the computer.....[

Good luck with everything.

Congratulations!! That is so exciting. My fiance and I have been together for seven years this year and we're getting married in July...so I'm hoping SO is ready for kids. We've talked about it a bit, but I think he wants to wait a bit...I think we've waited long enough. [

Gee, I hope it lasts a little longer than that! [sm=uhoh.gif][sm=lol.gif]

Thanks everyone!

Does anyone have some good pregnancy/baby message board links? My head is spinning from googling!

Breastfeeding.com is a good forum if you plan to nurse.

My Dr said my ellyptical was fine to use as long as I was used to it, and I didn't intensify the workout.

I liked Babycenter.com
Has a lot of neat tools, due date calculator, pregnancy calender based on your conception or due date, and if you sign up, they'll keep sending you weekly e-mails as your baby grows. I find that I read them less for my second kid, but every now and then a new piece of news or research, esp. about health issues, will pop up and it's still informative.
