Can not believe

So I just called the doctors office to make my very first visit as a pregnant lady and I was shocked to find out that you don't go in till you're at three months along!! That is the first time you need to go in! I can't believe it! They said if I wanted to go in and just "talk" to the doctor I could do that .... in two and a half more weeks!! Holy flip!! Not that I expected to go in now and get a ultrasound or have a pap but I thought I would at least get a blood test to confirm that I am pregnant and that all my numbers (HCG levels) are all good!?



Part of me wants to get a book, like the one I have in the pic, but then I remember hearing stories of ladies that read too much and then they start to freak out cause in the book it said this and their body is doing something different!? Sometimes too much information is not a good thing!? I just wish I could get a little reassurance that my numbers are good. I have been having some cramping that I read on the net was normal for some ladies but it just worries me!? Usually cramps mean AF is coming and it's not usually "good" news.



I broke down and called the doctors office back, I requested a blood test. The lady said she would see what she can do, I hope I can get one! ? It just seems so bazaar to me that everywhere I read that this is the critical time for miscarriages and abnormalities to happen, you would think that this would be the time the doctor should see you to lay your worries to rest and give you some pointers on the do's and don'ts!?



As for other symptoms so far .....


--- Extremely moody (but I can be sometimes), like right now there are these ladies outside with leaf blowers making a ton of noise .... WTF ever happened to the good old fashioned rake!? For friks sake ..... enough with the blower thingy already!!


--- I think I am already getting a mild case of "pregnancy brain", my spelling errors are atrocious .... thank goodness for spell check! If only you knew how many times I have to go back and correct my errors (it's not usually this bad).. the backspace button is going to be worn out soon!


--- Extremely thirsty but only for water, which I suppose is a good thing? I wish I knew more about what I should and shouldn't eat besides the obvious fruit and veggie crap! Like what about diet pop - I've heard bad things about aspartame and now that I'm with child, what was OK before isn't anymore? And what about coffee? There are just so many things that were OK before but now I don't know if I would eat/ drink the same things now that there is another life?!


--- I've always been an "active pee'r" but I think I am already using the biffy way more now then I ever have before but then that could be from my extreme thirst issue and all the water I've been ingesting!? LOL


--- I have felt queasy once and a while, usually in the afternoon around 1:30 - except for today I was OK?! I wonder what that's about? I feel like I want to buy more tests just so that everyday I can pee on a few (since I'm going pee more I may as well use them for something) and just make sure that I am still preggers!?



I hope I don't become too obsessive about this whole life changing experience!? Do you think I may be already!? A little obsessive?! ;)

oh ya, if you aren't high risk you don't even get an ulrasound until 18 weeks....

I am surprised that they weren't going to confirm it with a blood test though, that's bizzare.
