It was in Nov 2010, that I first started having my symptoms. I didn't think anything at first, as I just had the urge to belch a lot and it just would not come out, but as soon as I could, I got instant relief. I couldn't explain it. My husband's advice was, "you know what works for me darling, a bottle of ginger ale....that always helps me burp". So off we went and he bought me some ginger ale, needless to say, it didn't work. This symptom went on for about 2 weeks at which point I called my mum back in Africa, (please do not think Africa is a country, I'm just omitting mentioning where until I'm more comfortable with sharing info online), my mum said she suspected I was pregnant. I was quick to dismiss the idea because I had taken the morning after pill when I had suspected that we had not been careful..... I didn't tell that to mum of course, she would have freaked out as she is still very traditional and really wanted grandchildren, even though she had 4 grand children already.
So I tell my husband, mum's thoughts and we go ahead and get a pregnancy test done, and bam! Yes I'm pregnant. I was so shocked. Of course you know we had to do a second and third test...even then my husband insisted no we have to do a blood test.
We finally accepted it and while it took us a while we were happy. It was not that we were not happy about the baby, we were happy, i guess we just felt we wished we would have been more financially stable.
So i found out in December that i was pregnant and broke the news gradually to the rest of our family. i told my sister first, i knew she would always be there to support and would help me not to freak out. My husband told his older sibling first and we thought it best to tell our folks in January.
Stay tuned for more of this story in the upcoming entries.
