Unexpected Pregnancy

So I was getting a cupping/massage last Monday, and the acupuncturist doing it seemed a little subdued. She’s a talker, so I tried to match her energy and not talk to much. She then let the news escape that she was pregnant, but it was unexpected (she and her husband have an 18 month old). She hadn’t told her family yet, and she was preparing herself to break the news at Thanksgiving. She was kind of in the phase of, I’m not thrilled, but I fully acknowledge when this baby gets here I’ll be over the moon happy. And she did say she and her husband were talking about how their daughter needed someone to play with.
The first trimester nausea was getting to her, and she was hoping for some second trimester relief. I told her if she ever needed anything before one of my sessions to just text me and I’d bring it (she and her husband often share a car). I hope she feels better as time goes on; last time she said her nausea gradually faded. I think right now she’s overwhelmed.

@AmbiePam Aww. We often pick up the energy of others, especially as sensitive individuals. I find it easy to sense the emotions of those around me.

Talk about surprises it would have been different if the first baby was already two.

I hope she lets you bring her something and share in her joy as time progresses. That will be another Thanksgiving blessing to share for her family.

That is so exciting that she confided the happy news with you.
I only had 1 episode of morning sickness during each of my pregnancies.
I was lucky.
I did not feel well during my second pregnancy, but it was because I was catching everything going around, the tummy flu, and terrible early autumn cold, stuff like that.

Maybe you got second hand nausea and that's why you were sick.

Getting pregnant can really cause issues. Especially if you weren't expecting it or taking precautions to prevent it. I am sure she'll be fine though.

Cool! I think that will be a great news and a very joyous one.
I know God will provide everything that she needs.
Congratulations to her.
