Koonj asks, “But, are you happy?”
Honestly, I’m so scared that maybe this is a nightmare and I’m not having a healthy pregnancy. I mean I read all these sites about what to expect at week 6, which by the way is confusing in itself knowing that conception occurred 4 weeks ago either on the 21 or the 23rd. So anyway, I am supposed to be feeling soreness in my breasts, which I don’t. I’m supposed to be nauseous and experiencing morning sickness, which I have not. I am supopsed to smell awful scents, which I did for one day.
They warn that a loss of pregnancy symptoms may mean a blighted ovum. I mean I did feel very, very sore in the beginning. Honestly, now all I feel is tired and gaseous. But, I took another pregnancy test this morning it came up positive (that’s three folks). I just wanna puke, or feel like I gotta puke, that’s all!
I wish I could have had a Dr. confirm all of this especially BEFORE I trek to homeland to tell my Mom, brother and close friends.
I pray Insh’Allah all is well. I thank Allah for the pregnancy. I can’t wait till my first appointment January 8th. I hope I don’t get crazier through this pregnancy, because meri choti and miya would suffer, for sure.
HELP, I need some girl thoughts.

When you read pregnancy info you should keep in mind they are telling you things that MIGHT happen. Everyone and every pregnancy is different. I know all of my pregnancies have been different. With my oldest I really didn't have many symptoms either.
hmmmmm. if you are only 4 weeks along i think you're okay. my good friends usually found out in week 6 that they were pregnant and getting the symptoms then. I think around four weeks they are supposed to begin. I can't believe your doctor is putting you off till all the way in January considering you're a month along as it is!!!!
I hope you are pregnant and the baby is healthy and growing beautifully. The reason people don't share first pregnancy news till the end of the first trimester is for this reason, things can be awfully scary at this time.
I'm still shaken by the doctor thing though Baj... a friend of ours had issues within the first six weeks but by going to the doctor they were able to make things okay and the baby is due soon now and anticipated to be healthy insh'allah.
Ofcourse in this area I'm only relaying the experiences of my friends. I defer to Shabana and other mammas who read your blog.
As an aside, Baji, did you ever fear that you would be unable to get pregnant? Its such a big fear I have and I wonder if i'm the only one.
oh yeah, every pregnancy is different. Some women enjoy their's and others suffer throughout. If you dont have a lot of symptoms - party!
On a positive note, if you're feeling pukey, party! My mother said she wasn't pukey, but God, I was dreadful.
Don't be scared, sweetie. Not good for you and not good for the bebe. Be happy. It actually works. Smile at yourself. It's going to make you healthier, knowing you're responsible for the health of another being.
Isn't it great you started that AA thing?? Maybe this is the baraka of your taking positive steps. Inshaallah you are well and overflowing with fecund beauty (is that making you puke?) :)
I had no typical symptoms when prego. In fact, they told me over and over i wasn't pregnant and though my gal bladder was bad lol. Then one day it was like one thing after another and i spend the next three months miserable. Just enjoy this time sis, eat well, rest and try not to think tooooo much. Some people also don't have any symptoms and if you are one of those lucky ones, it's a GOOD thing lol...
Surviving,
Thank you for sharing. You certainly have a lot of experience I could learn from!
Aisha,
I think we think similarily and it can b crippling, huh? Yes, I totally thought I wasn't able to conceive or at the least that I was going to have a very hard time conceiving. I NEVER imagined that it would happen the FIRST try, mash'Allah. I think I have a serious case of denial.
Koonj, thank you! You're words meant a lot. Hubby is doing well with encouraging my happiness.
Wayfarer, wow! Do tell.
Ok, I'm just NOW finding out you're pregnant!!! Yay!!! Congratulations sis!!! :)
I had absolutely no morning sickness and none of that other stuff you read about. Oh I lie, I did have a bit of breast tenderness in the beginning..but that was about it.
Everyyyyyyyyyy pregnancy is different and right now just relax and enjoy yourself...well as much as you can. Insha'Allah everything is fine. Do let us know how the appt goes. :) I'm sure it will start to feel more real after that!!
Many hugs and congrats again!!
Tara
waiting for you to update, baji.
Don't be worried that you aren't pukeing..be thanking God! Some people are lucky and just feel WONDERFUL during their pregnacies ..I mean they GLOW! Maybe you are a lucky one. ;)
My two pregnacies were very different. I know of people who had no symptoms. I am sure all is fine. Just relax. :-)
