The only person who knows I'm pregnant right now is my husband but I just found out through NIPT testing WE ARE HAVING A GIRL! I have to talk to someone but since we haven't told family yet I have no one to share this with yet.
I need someone to talk to while I'm freaking out. I already have 3 boys and thought it was impossible for me to have a girl. After my 3rd boy I purchased a girl sway plan from Atomic in Oct 2022. In the first couple of months I tried to stick with the plan but I was always over my protein, fat, and calorie limits. I didn't follow the plan strictly but I tried to eat more carbs instead of protein and fat during meals. Previously I was always on a high protein high fat diet.
Another big difference was I did a lot more cardio when I started to sway. Previously I prioritized strength training. These past couple of weeks have also been pretty stressful lfor me between some things going on with our home, health issues with family members, and just daily life stress.
The only thing my husband did differently was take OLE everyday with his water. He didn't really change his diet or anything.
This pregnancy was unplanned and a shock. I'm over 40 and I wasn't getting pregnant during my fertile time. I was tracking ovulation. I figured I wasn't that fertile anymore. This time I was actually past my ovulation period according to my tests. I even jump and dumped right away.
I want to celebrate and be happy but part of me feels like this will be taken away from me like the Dr will call me and say results were mixed up or I tested too early and the results aren't accurate.
I so desperately want to just feel happy with no worries. This pregnancy has been hard physically so far and I dread going to appts sometimes because it's just hard to hear because your older you have to worry about this and that.
So sorry this post is all over the place but that's how I'm feeling inside.
