Some of you may know me, I was on here earlier in the year because I miscarriaged and got the 'baby bug'.
Well I finally got over said baby bug a couple months ago. And come to find out...I'm pregnant.
I don't know how far along I am, I just found out a couple hours ago.
I had gone to the doctors because I was having problems with my acid reflux. The doctor and I both thought it's because I'm back in America, which has less healthy foods than London. I've also gained weight, which is why I thought I missed my period. I had taken a test then, but it came up negative.
Sorry if I'm not making sense. In any case, I took a test at the doctors. And she told me I was pregnant. I've been in a daze since. I don't know what to do.

You're being pretty vague and I'm guessing it's probably from still being in shock, but you'd have to kind of be more direct on your situation and what you don't know what to do about!

Yeah, I was in a lot of shock when I wrote that. :) I'm doing better now, at least.
My doctor decided to do a pregnancy test at the end of my appointment because I mentioned I had missed my last period. I thought it was just because I've put on weight and I was on birth control. But it turned out that I'm pregnant.
Later, which really ended up being the next morning, I went to the ER because of the pains that I thought had been related to acid reflux. After learning I was pregnant though, I was afraid it might be an ectopic pregnancy because I smoked. So they did an early ultrasound and I discovered I was 7 weeks 3 days pregnant (now I'm 7 weeks and 6 days).
I'm excited but nervous. I don't know how we'll manage. I'm 18 and my fiance is 19. The baby is due March 14th, right before I'm 19 and he's 20. I have to switch schools and he's going to be working the graveyard shift.
