Sophie,

There's a lot to process right now, but I encourage you to read my post to Nicole (it should be in the section below your post.) Sometimes, the things we see as obstacles turn out to be blessings and reward us much more than we ever expected.

First, your body won't change too much initially. With a first pregnancy, depending upon how tall you are, you can often hide the fact that you're pregnant for at least 4 months, and sometimes as long as 6 months. (Wth my first pregnancy, I actually found I could wear certain clothes even at 8 months that would obscure the fact that I was pregnant!) And, after you have a baby, provided you take care of yourself, you can often get back to near your original weight in as little as 6-8 weeks. I've had 6 babies and weigh 135 pounds (I'm 5' 7"). Our bodies are designed to have babies, so nature provides us good resilience, if we eat healthy food!

I will say a prayer for you and your little one.

Sharon
