So when you found out you were pregnant for the first time what was your reaction the moment you found out??
Shock and disbelief. Having no vagina I was worried about how I was going to have the baby. In the end I decided to have an abortion and I vomited the fetus up the following morning.
..Aw-I'm going to be a downer,but I want to be honest. The actualy 1st time I found out I was pregnant I was 18. I had been with BF(now hubby) for awhile and we lived together..but we weren't really in the perfect situation... I was terrified,but excited all at the same time.It took awhile for it to set in.That was sept/10- the next mornin while not allowing myself my morning cig,I watched a plane slam into the WTC on tv..it was all very very surreal. I miscarried a few months later. ...When I got pregnant with my daughter we were half heartedly trying. LONG given up any form of BC with a "whatever will be will be" attitude, and starting to wonder if we even COULD get preggy -if something was wrong.So it was like "Oooo we work"- ...and then "Oh shit,now what?" lol
Well the first pregnancy before our oldest son was conceived, had both my husband (then boyfriend) and I absolutely positively freaked out. Very, very stressful. I was 19, he was 23 and it was definitely not planned. No medical insurance at the time because we weren't married yet and I wasn't working, I was having complications early on and required almost daily blood draws at 50 bucks a pop, multiple ultrasounds which were hundreds of dollars every scan...I tried to get help through the state for prenatal care and was denied because we "made too much money". Please. I tried to pawn jewelry of mine to pay for medical costs, my husband was giving over his entire weekly paycheck to help...we did end up losing the pregnancy, and although we had been very overwhelmed by the unexpected pregnancy, we were actually quite upset after everything happened. But I guess there's a reason for everything. It did bring us even closer and confirmed that fact that we wanted to have another baby together in the future when the time was right. With our second pregnancy we were pretty excited, although nervous of course! He was somewhat planned, if that makes sense. One afternoon, we decided to just let things happen, and if it were meant to be, we weren't going to be unhappy if we ended up pregnant. And that one afternoon of reckless abandonment resulted in our oldest son. We were still newlyweds at the time he was born...I was 21, hubby was 25, and he took to being a daddy like a duck takes to water. I was amazed at how wonderful he was as a new dad! He was so proud of his little boy! Our third pregnancy was planned, although again, it happened super quick. We had been discussing expanding our little family one evening, the next morning, well, things happened, and that's what did it. Our conception date was the day after we decided to start trying! Sadly though, we miscarried early on. I took to this extremely hard and wasn't sure if I even wanted to try again. But, maternal instinct kicked in, and we decided to go for it. Our fourth pregnancy was again planned, we had decided to try to conceive 3 cycles after our miscarriage as suggested by my OB, and on the 4th cycle, found out we were pregnant again. We were pretty excited, but cautiously so...I went in for an exam at only 6.5 weeks pregnant because I needed reassurance that things were progressing with the pregnancy (I was absolutely terrified of losing the baby not suprisingly) only to find that yes, the pregnancy was definitely progressing, but that we were not expecting one baby, but two! Twins! I'll never forget the look on my husband's face when they showed us the ultrasound screen and said "here's one heartbeat...and here's the second one!" He nearly dropped our oldest son whom he was holding in his arms on the floor! Me, I swear I almost fainted, and I can remember asking the ultrasound tech "that's it right? Please don't keep counting!" *laughs* I went through so many mixed emotions when I found out we were having twins, but most of all, I was proud, and my husband was overjoyed, all his buddies teasing him about what a powerful shot he was. Like me hyperovulating, producing two eggs in one cycle had nothing to do with it. *laughs* I also just "knew" the twins were going to be a boy and a girl even before the ultrasound tech confirmed so months later. Mother's instinct I suppose!
Awww hippychickmommy your story is so nice. Well, I was going in for my yearly exam and mentioned my period was late. I hadn't thought much about my late period because the previous months I had been a few days late. Well... took a little pee test and came back and the nurse said "You're pregnant". I was overcome with emotion. I cried because I just couldn't believe I was pregnant. My doctors always told me since I had cysts that it would be difficult to conceive. Also I was on birth control. After the initial shock we were both excited. A few weeks later I went in for an ultrasound and found out that I was actually less pregnant then initially thought! Our baby is due February 26th!
^thats cool, happened to me too (the BC thing) I don't know how to describe it, I kind of went blank at first. It felt different than before so I was like oh shit. this is real. Being at my dads for the week, I didn't have any privacy so I couldn't talk to anyone about it, and couldn't take a test(though I was already pretty sure I was) I was also freaking out because Brad and I pretty much just passed the "just fucking" part of our relationship, and he was 17 or 18 at the time. (Officially started dating in January, found out in April) Anyway, after the most nerve racking week of my life, I met up with Brad and told him. It didn't go as bad as I thought(though I was thinking the worst), he was like "...ok..." and gave me a hug lol so pretty much speachless The next day we hung out together, talked a bit... and eventually got used to the idea.
I kinda knew I was pregnant like a week before I took the test, but my period is always late, so I was telling myself that I was making myself believe things. Then I thought a test and it was a blurry positive. I had to see John before I went to get the other one and he was at work, so my whole walk there, was me saying, dont say anything until you know for sure, which was very hard to do. I cant keep secrets. After I got back home I took another one, it was one of those thay pregnant. I was very ecstatic, I looked myself in the mirror and smiled, in a kinda this is really happening. Then John came home at lunch time and I couldnt stop hugging him and kissing him and he was like "what's going on? Why are you being such a weirdee?" haha, I was like, "ohh I cant tell you now". But he wanted to know,so I said it ok and he said "ok" and I was like "you said ok? Are you happy?". He said yes, Im just having a crazy day at work and now I have to go back and I wish you had told me later. I knew that, but I could not say it. Then he sent me a cute PM. I got scared and worried too, sometimes still am, but always happy still.
