We had been trying for a few months ( I was terrified I couldn't get pregnant) So, we stopped trying.. Anyway, I went to my girlfriend's bachleorette party got super wasted with my friends had her Bridal Shower a week later on a Saturday where I had mimosas and smoked nasty cigarettes the entire day. I felt like crap that Sunday ( I figured it was a hangover) For some reason I didn't think to buy any cigarettes that Sunday. Well, I went to work Monday and still felt gross, I mean I have been hungover before but a 2 dayer, never.. LOL.. Anyway, I bought a test and took it in the bathroom at work... I couldn't believe my eyes! So, I went back to the store and bought another test, still positive... So, on my way home I bought another brand...LOL... Well I took those too, waited for DH to get home and handed it one of the tests. He said "Why are you giving me a marker?" LOL I told him I was prego and we were out of control happy. ( So I too took 5 tests of different brands) Then I thought to myself, Holy Chit-- I'm already a bad Mom, my baby has already smoked and gotten wasted.... I was so nervous about that but the Doctor assured me everything was fine.. I am happy to say that was the last time I smoked a ciggy...

I kept my tests too--LOL... I guess it is a bit gross but who cares!

Scared everytime but for different reasons. Everything from what people will say ("Another one?"), can we afford it, to the baby miscarrying (I've had three)or dying (My little girl would be two).

ALWAYS thrilled though and hope to have more.

Isn't it funny how at the moment you find out you're pregnant, your whole life (past, present and future--all at once) just flashes before your eyes???

A whole new mindset takes over. So many emotions, all rolled into one. You are thinking of things and worrying about things that have never crossed your mind before!

I got married May 2006. We left for our honeymoon in Las Vegas four days after our wedding and I managed to feel crappy for our entire week we were there - super tired, nauseous, sore boobs, etc. Took a test the day after we got home because I just *knew* something was up but I wasn't technically late yet so I didn't know if the test would work.

Being the cheapskate that I am, I bought the generic pg test (not the early detection one) and it came back negative. I threw it in the trash. Later that day, however, I went to the potty and the test stick was still laying on the top of the trash - and what's that? one dark line, on very faint line.

I freaked out! I told my brand new DH and he said I probably wasn't. I figured he was right because the box *did* say not to read the test after x amount of time had passed. I bought a bunch more tests (this time the first response) and those came back positive. omg.

then I went to the dr and she did a urine test which came back neg. in her office. whaaat? luckily she ordered a blood draw which confirmed it - I was, in fact, 4 wks pregnant.

we're pretty sure our DD (now 18 mos.) is a wedding night baby. LOL.

I almost don't want to post here cos all these posts are so full of happiness, but maybe someone else is going through this now so I will.
My first pregnancy ended in miscarriage. I was only about 5-6 weeks along and had been feeling nauseous and other things. I had irregular cycles so the missed period didn't register. When I did take the test and it came out positive, it felt...wrong. I don't know how else to describe, but I felt like something wasn't right. I started to miscarry the next day.
I ended up getting pregnant again about 2-3 weeks after my m/c. When I took another test, and it came out positive, I was a nervous wreck.
We happened to be at my IL's house when I tested and they were so so excited for us. They wanted to tell everybody and I just sat there like "how on earth can you be happy about this?" I was that nervous.
Please let me tell you, this was not an unwanted pregnancy at all. I was just so scared about losing another pregnancy that I couldn't get happy about it.
It did get better the more milestones I reached. When I had my "viability ultrasound" (horrible terminoligy) and we heard the baby's heartbeat, I started bawling. When I felt him kicking it was the best day! I don't think I started being excited until I was about 6 months along. I felt safe after 24 weeks. That was the magic number to me.
I hope I didn't depress anyone, that wasn't my intention. Thanks for reading this far.

So, we got married January 20, 2007. The way my cycle fell, I would have had my period for my wedding and honeymoon and that just wouldn't do! So, like many times before I took my pills back to back to avoid my period. Well, then the week of Valentine's Day when my period should have come again...it was a no show!! I took 2 test, one was "inconclusive" and one was positive. Come to find out the doc says I was 13 weeks PG!! I was like no way!! I had finally wrapped my mind around the fact that I was PG, but still I just knew they had their numbers wrong.

I had fallen down at my Grandma's house on Christmas and tore ligaments in my foot. So DH (then BF) wouldn't touch me cuz he was afraid to hurt me further. When Ava was born on September 10, 2007 and the ped evaluated her. The doc tells me that she is at most 38 weeks gestationally. So, all in all, I was right I wasn't THAT PG to start, !

Pregnancy #1 - scared - ended in misacarriage
Preganany #2 - scared and nervous - ended in miscarriage
Pregnancy #3 - EXTREMELY scared and nervous, didn't tell anyone (except DH) until 12 weeks. DS is now 10
Pregnancy #4 - scared - DD is now 7
Pregnancy #5 - scared - ended in early 2nd Trimester miscarriage. I had many complications following the D&C, and didn't know if we would ever be able to have a 3rd baby
Pregnancy #6 - scared and excited - but nervous due to previous miscarriage. We tried and tried for so long to conceive, and finally did one cycle of Clomid - DS is now 16 months
Pregnancy #7 - HOLY CRAP - What do you mean I am pregnant??? I cried and cried (my youngest was only 9 months) I am still coming to grips with this surprise - and I'd better hurry as I'm due in 9 weeks (but who is counting!). All babies are blessings, even surprises!
