This has been my life even before quarantine started\u2014 just being in bed all day, feeling horrible. And before anyone asks why I look like I\u2019m on my way to the afterlife, allow me to list down all the symptoms I\u2019ve had to endure this past 2 months: &#x2714;&#xfe0f; Fatigue &#x2714;&#xfe0f; Nausea &#x2714;&#xfe0f; Tender, swollen breasts &#x2714;&#xfe0f; Food aversions &#x2714;&#xfe0f; Constipation &#x2714;&#xfe0f; Dizziness &#x2714;&#xfe0f; Heartburn On March 5, 2020, I paid a visit to my OB-GYN after not seeing him for 3 plus years. Why? I had missed my period. An ultrasound scan and blood test confirmed later that day that I was about 5 weeks pregnant. I know, shocking! Getting pregnant the natural way with myoma and endometriosis (which I both have) is extremely difficult. Only medical intervention or a miracle can make it happen. This was a miracle!&#x2764;&#xfe0f;&#x1f64f;&#x1f3fb;&#x2764;&#xfe0f; Anyway, what scares me now is I\u2019m already on my 14th week, and I haven\u2019t gained an ounce of weight.
