WEEKS 1-6 Before You Know Your Pregnant

Great! Another day heading to the gym. I enter my Palates class with high expectations since the week before I actually kept up with the class and didn't have to take any short counts to survive. The instructor puts in the sounds of nature CD while I lie on my mat with eyes closed in preparation I took a peak at the cobweb on the ceiling. As I begin to follow the crowd in bending, stretching, and pulling just like last time ready to hit it hard. I suddenly realize I have to lower my knees for I can't hold them up. With each movement I am doing good to hold position for the count of 5 when the class is going to 15. Everyone else rolled over on their stomach but I stayed on my back in a breathless gasp while now the ceiling is floating with stars. I muddled through an hour of embarrassment while only mustering up enough energy to stay awake on the mat while doing a not so pretty version of a workout. This is all right in front of the same people who couldn't believe it was my first time in class being that I was able to do all the advance positions just 2 weeks prior. I went home and thought that was weird, I must really be tired.
And tired I was. I had extreme fatigue and after going to the gym the next 3 days and leaving within 10 minutes for I was unable to workout I realized I was so tired I must keep resting and forget the gym for now and after I rest up on the weekend I will resume my hour gym blast then.

In the evening out of the blue it would hit me and I felt a little nauseous. In the morning I would wake up and feel fine. This repeated for days. Then I had like a nervous stomach feeling all day long. Then I realized that I was stressed out and had plenty of reason to be and began to count the ways of how much stress and how it has caused me to be feeling like this. I began to take take necessary nutrients to cure my ailing stomach and it worked for the most part. However, it kept coming back.

One day in my extreme evening stooper of vegging out on the couch I wanted to help my husband in the yard. I wasnt feeling well but I figured if I ignore not feeling well and know that it will all go away anytime soon then I might as well be doing something for I wasnt feeling any better taking it easy on the couch. I am dizzy after 2 minutes of using the leaf blower, I was out of breath just walking half way around the house and had to sit down. I am now thinking something is seriously wrong with me....I'm going to die!

Well, not really die, but almost. For me this is major, I am a non-stop, high energy, go-go go-do-do-do, gym 4 times a week kind of person. Now I feel something weird floating in my brain and running through my body. The next day while driving I am looking at street signs and not registering their meanings. I am now noticing my brain is having a breakdown, I have been drained, extremely cold to which I would wear long sleeves outside in 80 degree weather.
Finally I had enough brain power to hear "your pregnant". Doubting that was the case I decided to rule it out! But I didn't!
