I just found out..

I am pregnant.

I haven't told anyone yet and don't really plan on telling anyone for a while but I had to share with someone It wasn't expected, at all, and I had a minor panic attack until I realized I'm almost 30, my boyfriend is a great person and great with kids, and I got this shit.

I'm gonna have to stop cussing so much now I guess lol.

I'm not really sure how to tell my family. I'm the baby of the family and I'm pretty sure everyone still views me as a baby.

Not really sure how to tell my friends either. I don't have many friends with kids.

Or my roommate, who is probably going to be annoyed that he has a pregnant roommate who will most definitely be due before the lease runs out.

Oh well, such is life. I'm kind of excited

 

No reason you can't cuss around your kid, they're gonna learn it somewhere, sometime and you might as well teach them what's appropriate and when, rather than learning it from someone else

Congradulations!

 

thank you and I agree, its like this quote I always loved from a Judy Blume book..

"hate and war are bad words, fuck isn't."

 

Happy Happy!!! Joy Joy!!!

Google "Novel Ways To Announce Pregancy".

 

I so loved Judy Blume books.......

Now a very big congrats to you! May these next months and years be full of excitement. Being pregnant is amazing. May I recommend a pregnancy book that is like huge. I'm pretty sure it's called what to expect when your expecting.


Any way I wish you all the best!



I must I must increase my bust.....

 

people who plan pregnancies are the most boring people in the world

surprises are what make life fun ..or interesting at least


congratulations arty:

 

You just have to tell them eventually. I say tell them early so something can be done about it early rather than having a baby unprepared. Whether it's gathering clothes and such or having an abortion. Good luck!:2thumbsup:

 

It's a big change, I would have little panic attack as well at first, very understandable But congrats! :biggrin:

 

a new life is always a blessing, congratulations to you and your partner

may your lives together be long, happy and filled with love.:love:

 

You'll find that after you have a child,you'll all of a sudden have plenty of friends with kids. It just happens that way. Congrats to you.

 

You think you're have a panic attack wait until you tell your boyfriend, but if he's good with kids as you say this should make him pretty excited if not overjoyed. Congrats to you, and keep us updated

Not to be too nosy but just wondering, how long have you and the bf been together?

 

Congratulations!!

From reading your posts over the years Meliai you are a very smart person and it sounds like your in a great mental place to have a kid. You know all about GMO's and such so im sure your kid will live a healthy happy life.

 

I told him as soon as I suspected I could be pregnant, he was there when I took the test and he's the reason I didn't have a full blown panic attack lol. He couldn't possibly be any more supportive. We actually haven't been together very long, 7 or 8 months so it definitely wasn't something we were planning anytime soon but he's a super sweet guy and he's really excited. We're trying to be realistic, since we haven't been together that long we aren't trying to fool each other into thinking we're going to be together forever, although in an ideal world it will work out that way. We're just going to take it day by day and always do what is best for the child.

thank you for the vote of confidence, I needed that and yes, I will be eating only fruits and vegetables from local farmers markets and only locally raised meat during my pregnancy and beyond, my baby and i are saying hell no to gmos

 

congrats!

 

Lysteria is a big one you have to watch out for, more likely to get that from mom and pop type operations like local farmers market rather than the chains

 

I know mane, I actually just read a pamplet my doctor gave me about lysteria today. I figure as long as I don't eat any raw veggies I'll be alright. I also have to cook deli meat as it can carry lysteria...i have to give up my life long love of cold-cut sub sandwiches for the next few months

 

Congratulations Meliai !!!

 

my fish died today... it's the circle of life.

 

Great! Congrats to you and your bf.

Stay active through your pregnancy, but don't run yourself down.

 

Be happy, my friend has spent over 20k on IVF. She would love to be in your shoes. Kids are a gift, take care of them. Congratulations. Oh and don't drink. Apparently day 17 is the day the brain is vulnerable to foetal alcohol syndrome. Don't eat for 2. You should put on 11kilo's no more. I followed a vegan diet and had zero problems. Don't listen to other people and absolutely do not have your baby at home with only a midwife present. Way to risky, bordering on irresponsible in my opinion. (lots here will not agree with that. Respect to your beliefs)
