In reply to Could I be Pregnant? HELP, posted by woolav on July 6, 2005, at 10:11:45
> I am really freaked out, I havent taken a test yet, but I am usually pretty regular and Im late. The major problem(s) are the meds I take. My pdoc said they could cause birth defects. I dont want to have a child with problems (sorry for sounding horrible) Plus another concern of mine is if i am, and i stop taking meds, what will happen to me? I need meds to live basically. I dont know what to do??????

> SHow late are you?
There are all kinds of reasons for being late. Are you expriencing nausea, extreme tiredness and sore breasts? Other symptoms in addition to being late could be more of an indication than lateness on its own.
I know what it's like to face the risk of birth defects; I had an unplanned diabetic pregnancy last year and that carries risks of various birth defects, and miscarriage, and all sorts of problems. But the point about the word 'risk' is that it's not a certainty. My baby was fine, and most are. So don't despair. Try to take it one step at a time if you can. And I guess the first step is the test so you will know for sure.
I hope it goes the way you want it to go.
