Take care, Ksenia. Keep trusting yourself and your body and your baby. I have a lot of respect for you and am so glad that you made a decision you are comfortable with. The way I know I made a good decision is how comfortable/relaxed I feel afterwards. It sounded in your post as though that's what this was. I hope you get more support in the next few months, but it seems to me that you're trusting yourself more and more, which is the most important thing.
I know how frustrating it was for me to be standing in front of the nurse in a room full of people and being told that basically I was an awful, selfish person for not wanting the HIV test and the cystic fibrosis test. I was so hurt that I would be treated that way and so unprepared for it. Don't discount that aspect of your emotional response to your caregivers.
I think it's great that you're taking into account the thoughts and feelings of those close to you, and I think you should take comfort in knowing that you made the right decision for yourself at the time (having taken so many factors into consideration). Have a very happy holiday season and take good care.
