And was your pregnancy planned? I don't mean how you feel about your children now, I mean when you looked at that test for the first time, or heard those words for the first time. What ran through your mind?

My husband and I have been married for ten months. We planned on waiting about 5 years before we started having children. I found out two days ago that I was pregnant! It was a complete shock because I am on the pill, and have been taking it successfully for 5 years. I new i was pregnant before I took the test, because I'm never late, but when I read the words I actually started crying. It's not that we didn't want kids, we just didn't want them yet. We are both taking it one step at a time and I know that we're going to love this baby so much! It's just going to take a little bit of time to get used to the idea of it being the "3" of us.

I was scared and upset, I was 20 and I had just caught my bf cheating on me. I didn't want to tell him, but I had to since his sister was there when I took the test. He and I stayed together (I know I was a dumba**) I thought it would be good to make him stay around and take care of his child, needless to say after a year and a half, I ditched him and found the man of my dreams. My ex has not seen his daughter in 5 years, though this is a great thing, he was a loser.
My husband and I tried and tried to get pregnant and finally did, we were so happy, but all that ended due to a miscarriage. I got pregnant 6 months later, and we have a beautiful 1yr old daughter.

With my first I was more excited than I had ever been about anything in my life. I had never felt so blessed. My second was a surprise pregnancy that I found out about when my daughter was just barely 11 months old and I was overwhelmed, scared, and frankly really mad. I have felt very guilty about the difference in my reactions but I have accepted what happened and now I feel blessed again that I am going to have another beautiful baby in two weeks.

kids are a gift from God, and yes I was very, very happy the first time I found out I was pregnant with my now 4 months old baby boy. I am 26 years old and married. 2 weeks ago I found out I am pregnant again with my 2nd child, It might be scary because I just had a son not long ago, but seeing that line turning pink it was very exiting for me, I personally thank God for giving me a open womb, and I know there are 1,000 of women out there trying to have a child and unfortunately they can't. So I consider myself very blessed and happy I've been chosen!

We had had a scare before but it was just stress. We were engaged for about two months when we were "worried" again. It was not planned per-say. But we were not trying to get pregnant, but not totally against it either. I took the test and made my fiance look at it, secretly, I wanted it to be positive. I heard "oh crap" from the bathroom. I just grinned! I knew that he wasn't as on board as me and that it probably meant that the test was positive. But he too was a little excited. We later found out it was twins. It's a little scary, and still hard to believe, but we're both excited.

I was shocked! I went in to get my birth control refilled and the practioner noted I was about 4-5 days late on my cycle and ran a urine pregnancy test. Talk about a shocker! "Oh my god" was all I could think. I hadn't been with my boyfriend for very long either.
I'm extremely happy and excited now. And so is he! Once we got past the shock.

The 1st time - no, I was afraid, young & immature. Ended in a miscarrage.
Always used protection since that moment.
The 2nd time - married and yes, extremely happy - now have a beautiful 3 year old boy.
The 3rd time - married, yes, happy - lost child after 1 month in the Neonatal ICU due to very rare syndrome.
The 4th time - married, yes, happy - now have a beautiful 4 month old girl.

I hope you don't mind a man answering this question. I firmly believe that just because it's the women who carries the baby, both the mom and the dad are pregnant.
When my wife felt sick for a long period of time, I made an appt to the doctor for her. We were concerned that something more serious was wrong. Her family does/did have a history of early in age cancers and deaths.
The doctor comes out with a sour look on his face. "I have some bad news for you. There is nothing I can do for you until 9 months have passed. YOUR PREGNANT!!!!."
MY wife looked at him and promplty Said "Your kidding. OH BOY. "
I looked up and said "Well maybe could be OH GIRL to. "

I was happy from the get go, dad on the other had it stressed him out as he is not "settled" in his life as I am with my carrer and stuff. We had not been trying but no birth control or condoms, I said if it happend it happend and it did. I had tried in the past to have a baby and didn't work out. Now I have a 5 month old and am loving every minute of it!
