Im really glad that you have been taking vitamins... i didnt know how important they really were until i went a few days ago and talked with my doctor about how the baby could have birth defects and things like that. I wasnt sure about your opinion on keeping the baby or not so i didnt want to offend you. i dont throw up or anything like that, i did once, but only in a REALLY stressful weekend when 2 of my friends were killed in a car wreck. That was the ONLY time i have even come close to throwing up. It still seemed sureal to me that i am pregnant, i kept thinking that maybe everything/everybody who had said i was... was wrong... but then at the doctors last tuesday, i heard the heartbeat, and EVERYTHING just changed... im so happy about the baby, and its healthy. Im sure there are places you can go around you that you could get help without telling your parents... or have you yet? I told my dad the first day i found out, thought he was going to kick me out and disown me (wat he always said he would do) but he didnt ... hes not happy AT ALL and i doubt that he will ever fully be OK with my and Chris (baby's dad) having a baby when im only going to be 17. Chris however, is 19, he'll be 20 when i have the baby, but weve been together for a VERY LONG time... and i think we'll be ok. But back to your ? about my symptoms... i never spotted or bled... after i got pregnant i never had a period either... not even a \"light\" period where they say the egg is implanting... nothing. But i did experience what i would call \"bubbles\"

it sounded funny to Chris too, but about a week after 'it' happened that night, i could feel \"bubbles\" or so it seemed just going CRAZY in my stumach. I dont get it anymore... my stumach tensed up after a while... I was scared out of my mind before i took that pregnancy test... OH! I forgot about something i did right before i took it... ok... whenever you ovulate, your body temp. rises.... well if you're pregnant, ur temp. will stay SLIGHTLY elevated the whole time you're pregnant... mine stays at about 98.8 or 98.9 or somewhere in there. So if u want to have a SMALL hint that you may/may not be pregnant... take ur temperature... if its slightly higher than 98.6.... u very much are pregnant...(more than likely) but still go take a test. I crave all kinds of food... not really weird foods... just a diverse selection... i never used to eat fried onions... well now i do...

and i used to LOVE japanese food... it was a MUST on my weekly menu of dinner... but NOT AT ALL now... i dont even like the smell of fried chicken anymore... it makes me so sick... but if u can, try the temperature thing... tell me how that goes... and keep me posted on the situation... ill try to get on everyday...
