Ok oh boy my heart’s beating so fast. Here we go
It’s been almost a week and I realized that I missed my cycle. For the last few days I was thinking maybe it will be tomorrow. But something wasn’t right. Today morning just before waking up, my sixth sense gave me the call. What if? But again I brushed it aside. And my inner feeling was urging me. So I woke up and took a home pregnancy test, thinking that I know its not going to be. And then when I look at it there it is in bold “PREGNANT”. My hands started to shake a little, my heart was beating so fast and I almost missed a beat. Oh my god is this for real. I am actually pregnant. I had mixed feelings of excitement, nervous and tensed. It’s hard to explain the feeling but I loved it. And tears started to toll on my face. It’s a strange feeling and a surprise to me.

Almost for the next 30 min or so I was still trying to get hold of myself to accept the fact. I mean I was planning for a baby sometime in a year or so. I wanted my body to be prepared. It’s just been close to a year of me being high raw. But there were lots of ups and downs so I am not even sure if I am ready physically. I didn’t even read any pregnancy related material even to be mentally prepared. I guess that’s why I felt a little shocked and nervous. The whole day at work I could not focus, and yes my hubby was excited too when I told him

I have to get more focused now at least for the sake of my baby. But I am feeling a little nervous. I don’t even have any raw friends who I can talk about it. Are there any pregnant mom’s or moms who can help me? Where should I start from? I am so inspired by jinjee from thegardendiet.com after I saw her pre/post pregnancy pics. She looks so healthy and strong. I want to make my body as strong as possible for the baby's needs.
Oh boy just the thought of pregnancy is giving me butterflies. Can you believe it I am actually going to be a mommy in 9 months :) Wonder how it will feel, to be a mommy and holding the little angel.

Oh god please, please give me the strength and courage to support my journey.

[I have decided to document my journey in my personal blog, so please let me know if you have any advice/ tips/ resources for a first timer]

Thank you so much for all of your wishes, gives me the much needed comfort and excitement.

mousebandit - yes i am going to start using the raw kids section. [i guess thats for pregnant moms as well]

I am so excited. No wonder i was feeling all different for the past couple of days all nauseated :)

Is there any good websites/ books that someone can recommend?

I am also planning to keep doing yoga on more regular basis now to strengthen my body.

hey I saw on your blog you are in Seattle?? I'm in Bellevue! Cool a neighbor!

Make sure you sign up for Prenatal yoga. There are lots of yoga positions they do not recommend for pregnant women... even if you have been practicing for a while.
:D

Excellent! what an amazing journey you have ahead of you! I would suggest two things.

1. Go to the archives and the beginning of this section and read baby read - some great info for you.

2. Go to www.thegardendiet.com and PLEASE BUY Jinjee's e-book on raw pregnancy & raising raw kids they are SUPER FAB reads. She has five raw kids and brought in another raw baby last year. She is a wealth of baby/preganacy knowledge.

All the best,

EPPP

PS: I suggest you put on your profile that you are here in Seattle so you can get area specific referrals & ideas. It will appear on the right just next to the number of posts you have done. :p

Congratulations. I can so identify with your post and how you must feel! I wasn't raw during my pregnancies and if you have been high raw for the last year I think you are in good shape (at least - compared to me when I was sad and pregnant). Anyway just wanted to say I am so happy for you. I just prayed that the lord will bless your journey throughout your preganancy!:)

What a blessing for you....I love to hear Mom's call their children sweet names like you have already started doing when you called your baby Angel. I have a 15 year old daughter that I still will call Angel Baby. Judith:)

So if I understand it right you want to have your baby born at home?
I had mine at home in a birthing tub assisted with only two midwifes and it was incredible experience which I never will regret. If i have another baby that's the only way I want to do it.
Me and my husband are thinking of having another baby but I want to tone up and be strong before I get pregnant.
