Again.
With baby number 2!
Alhamdulillah.
I found out on March 26, about 5 days after returning home from Umrah (another post I've been meaning to write) through an in home pregnancy test (sorry if that's TMI for my children who will read this when they're older, lol) By then I was already 5 1/2 weeks pregnant. I had no idea the first month but the second month hit me like a ton of bricks! I was extremely fatigued and had nausea ALL day. I needed food in my belly at all times. I was super bloated, maybe from all the food I ate but none of my pants fit! That made me cry. Yes, super emotional Zasia was in effect too. I was able to wear most of my every day clothes during my first pregnancy and I thought, "So soon?! If this was month two then what would the rest feel like? I'm gonna turn into a whale!!" At one point I seriously thought I was depressed because my symptoms were lasting for over 2 weeks. Depression VS lots of crazy pregnancy hormones?! I was considering getting an evaluation had it continued but Alhamdulillah it didn't. So yeah, it was those crazy preggo hormones.
Now I am 18 weeks in and have feeling pretty good, since 2nd trimester hit alhamdulillah.
The gender: unknown, will find out in about 2 weeks. I have a hunch it's a girl. My instincts were right during the first pregnancy so maybe it's right again, hehe. But honestly it doesn't matter, (Allah knows best) although girls clothes are always so darn cute! If anything I have two baby nieces (one on the way) who I can always spoil. I'll just live vicariously through that, lol.
I'm due in November. Planning another scheduled c-section, kinda considering a VBAC (vaginal birth after C section) but I'm not too sure because the very very tiny percentage of uterine rupture scares me.
I was looking for a new OB because of some qualms from my first delivery but it's been difficult. I prefer only a female OB/GYN and a lot of the physicians (with great reviews) work on teams with male counterparts. Let's see what happens!
