After a lot of thought and much discussion Rob and I have decided now is the time we want to start trying for a baby! We knew that after we got married in February we wouldn’t want to wait a long time until we made a start because let’s face it no one can ever be sure just how long it’s going to take to conceive. The thought of struggling to get pregnant has always been a major concern of mine. When I was 20 I had to undergo an emergency operation to remove a huge dermoid cyst that had developed on my left ovary, one evening I crawled into be in immense pain and after enduring it for 3 hours Rob rushed me into hospital, I was scanned and just 4 days later I was waking up in the recovery room minus one cyst, one ovary and one fallopian tube. I remember thinking to myself what if that’s it now? No children?
The doctor assured me that I should have no trouble conceiving, that I have just as much chance with one ovary as I did with two and however comforting this was I always knew I wanted to get a head start just in case we were to struggle, I wanted to be young enough to endure the medical help procedures like IVF should we need to go down that route!
So to conclude Rob and I have made the first steps to trying for a baby. We have cleaned out the flat and sorted out all out knick knacks that we need to get rid of to de-clutter, I have been to see the doctor and talked through steps I need to take to prepare my body for pregnancy, we are taking step to a healthier lifestyle along with taking a Folic Acid supplement and we have started a Baby Fund! Rob brought me this adorable saving pot..
We are now thinking very carefully about every non-essential purchase we make and if we decide we don’t in fact need that new black vest or a Chinese take away we are putting all that extra cash into our pot!
