It can be hard to know what to do once you get pregnant! First step: To the GP!
(In New Zealand)
Medical talk:
* The positive result you get in your pregnancy test is measured by increase in your hormones called hCG. However hCG also is found in some types of cancer. So the doctor needs to check whether you really are pregnant, and the test isn't something else that could mean something's gone wrong. (Like ectopic pregnancy)
And yes. I have amazing veins and nurses and doctors love me. Yay!
They say it takes a village to raise a kid, but what if you don't have a village? In our current world with digital isolation, and me being a bit of an introvert... I relied on internet stories of parents for support. So I'm now giving back in a humorous form!
I want to talk about the ugly side as well as the good. I hope this comic will validate fellow parents, and also give insight to parenting to people who don't have kids! I hope it makes you laugh, but at the same time makes you feel like you're not alone.
It's set in NZ so some medical information and government information may differ. Also it's in UK English!
This is my personal diary of pregnancy and parenthood, so please be aware that every pregnancy is different and may not be same as mine.
