Uh Oh

I’m 19 years old. Getting pregnant was the last thing I had expected to happen. My boyfriend and I had been seeing each other for two years and had decided to move in together I lived in New York and LOVED living there. He had recently moved to North Carolina and we had decided that even thought I loved my home and my family I would make the move for the sake of us.

I left in the beginning of May 2007. I didn’t think much of it when I skipped my period in June I felt fine and I figured that because of the move it was late. Besides my boyfriend and I had gone two years without using protection and I had never gotten pregnant we figured one of wasn’t able too or we just weren’t chemically compatible WRONG-O!

After having severe pains that I believed were signs of my period coming for four weeks we decided to go to the hospital. They wouldn’t allow him in the room as they checked me so when they came in and told me I was pregnant I knew it was an uh oh. I walked out into the waiting room in a gown with an i.v in me and asked him to come back. As we walked back he asked: “Are you okay? What’s wrong?” I told him I was pregnant and he didn’t say anything.

The doctors gave me an ultrasound and we heard the heartbeat. Loud and clear. I was 6 weeks and 3 days pregnant. He turned and looked at me and told me you can’t keep it. After 3 days of fighting I packed my things and came back to New York.

I am now almost 3 months pregnant and I plan on keeping the baby. I'm working hard to be able to support this baby on my own. I’m excited and terrified at the same time about the labor and having to go through it by myself… but I think it’ll all be worth it.

Wow

Last week my boobs were killing me and my period was late, so I decided to take a pregnancy test on Sunday, which confirmed that I am pregnant.

I have so many emotions going around that I don’t know what to do! While I can’t sleep at night, my husband is out cold and I don’t know who I could talk to.

I am elated but also scared. Hormones suck!

"What Do You Think?"

To my surprise, I just found out I am pregnant. I have been on the pill for a few years so I was not really worried when I missed a couple of pills last month. I assumed it would take me a long time to get pregnant again when ever I would decide to get off the pill.

My mom commented on how I am already showing (I am only 5 weeks pregnant). Then she went on to say "You may be pregnant with twins".

Praying Hard!

I found out yesterday 7-25 that we were pregnant! (4 weeks). It is so hard to get excited since this is the second go around. Almost a year ago at this time we found out we were pregnant but lost it within days of finding out and within a month I was having another surgery due to ovarian cyst (my 3rd one!)

It all started about 5 days ago when I kept getting sick at night and my boobs--WOW!---they hurt. I went to the doctor yesterday after they got my results and thank the Lord above that the ultrasound showed no abnormalities. (My miscarriage last year ended up starting in my tube - the only one left!) I am going to go back Aug. 15th to make sure everything is still there so hopefully God will allow this one to bloom into a beautiful baby!

My husband and I are trying not to get too excited - he is scared for me since we have had all of the trouble but I know that he is just as ready as I am to have a child.

I have slight cramping in my legs and belly. I just hope it's normal since everything right now that happens, scares me.

A Blessing!

I just found out that my husband and I are expecting our fist baby! I'm so excited and feel like it's another blessing from God.

Last year I was diagnosed with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome or PCOS. So for about a year and a half my periods were very irregular. Until this year that I began to get my period regularly with the exception of one month.

So this July when I skipped my period again I really didn't think anything of it. Until I saw that my breast had grown over night and I started to feel very nauseous. I was anxious to buy a pregnancy test but didn't want to get my hopes up and be let down again like the previous year.

But this time the test actually came out Positive!! My husband and I still can't believe it. I can't wait for all these months to go by, so I can hold my baby in my arms! I'm 7 weeks pregnant! Yay!
