Hi All,

I have just joined the site and this is my first post...

To tell my story..... Have been on contraceptive pill for last 4 years (roughly), no missed pills, missed two periods and went to Dr because I thought something was up with the dose of pill (that has happended to me before) and I wasn't really concerned.

The Dr said have to do pregnancy test just to eliminate pregnancy...was happy to go along with it, b/c I thought of course I couldn't be pregnant. Dr said she would call me with the result.

Next day..(Wednesday last week) Dr called and told me I am pregnant...nearly fell off my chair.

Long story short - told my partner - both of us freaked out completely - went back to see Dr - had to go for ultrasound to determine how far along - thought about 8 weeks given two missed periods - NO, WRONG - 12 weeks pregnant. Couldn't believe it!!!

Needed to decide what to do by this week (ie keep or terminate). Fainted in supermarket yesterday, rushed to hospital by ambulance, saw baby on ultrasound screen, with healthy heartbeat (they said) and here I am....keeping my baby.

I am so scared of this. Of knowing whether or not I am making the right decision. But I can't shake the picture of the baby, that made it so real to me.

Dear All...please help calm my nerves
