hoping...

I’m almost positive I’m pregnant. I'm 16, and kind of scared, but still excited.

I’m nauseous every morning, eating three times what I used to, and my breasts are growing and are SO SORE!!!!! I’m a month late on my period, never missed one before. I have bad hormones; always have, so my doctor wants me to do some blood tests next week....

I’m so scared to tell my parents! My mom’s going to be all disappointed in me and my dad’s going to kill me and my partner!!! I mean, it’s really our fault for not being more careful.

But really, who'd think that I’d get pregnant a few weeks before I went to get on the pill?!?!

7 weeks pregnant

I had a miscarriage last month and found out I got pregnant right after the miscarriage and am now 7 weeks pregnant. I am completely freaked out that I will miscarry again. I don't want to do anything wrong and I get scared when I have any cramps which I am experiencing off and on right now.

They're somewhat sharp pains that last different amounts of times.

I'M THRILLED!!!!!!!!!!

Although I'd only been trying since last July, it honestly felt like forever! I would think I was pregnant every month because my fiancé and I would try and try but then the home pregnancy test stick would always come out negative, then I would get very upset and mildly depressed.

HOWEVER, just four days ago, I got up the nerve due to my unusually larger and sore boobs to take another HPT, and I was shaking so bad when I finally picked it up and saw two lines!! I ran into our bedroom and woke up my fiancé shouting that "I'm pregnant, I'm pregnant!"

We confirmed it at the doctor the next day! Good luck and congratulations to all of you out there!

still ok

I am now at 10 weeks and a scan at 6 weeks managed to see a sac with a beating heart, which was very exciting. I now feel very tired (sort of like being hung-over all the time – that’s the way I describe it to my husband!). I haven't vomited at all yet so hopefully I've escaped, although I have felt a little nauseous at times.

I've started getting headaches as well. But really I've just waiting for the three-month mark, as my chance of miscarriage will be markedly reduced. I see my obstetrician soon so hopefully will be able to see how much my baby has grown! My dates say that I should be about 12 weeks already but according to my scan I was two weeks earlier...go figure!

My husband is very excited and has already bought a new station wagon in anticipation of the impending birth. I hope to be writing my next installment when I am in my 2nd trimester.

Not again!

I am 29 years old and am pregnant for the 4th time. I've had 2 abortions and 1 miscarriage. This is the 3rd time I've gotten pregnant within a year's time with the same guy. The first time I think he did it on purpose, and I wasn't about to have a child with somebody I'd known for 2 months who was trying to trap me, (I caught him taking off the condom and pretending he didn't!). So I wanted him to pay for the abortion, (he had been harassing me not to have the abortion calling crying saying "how can you kill it?" and putting his 13 year old daughter on the phone).

Then when the day came for him to take me he was late in picking me up. I knew something was funny, so we get to the clinic and it comes time to pay and he's acting all weird. "I left it in the car" he says and goes to get it. When he returns he says in a sickeningly cowardly voice "I don't have it." I freaked out in front of all of the other patients and let him have it; it was all I could do not to claw his face off.

And can you believe I'm still with him? This time I made sure we used condoms and the one time we didn't I took the morning after pill. It is just unbelievable, I'm so mad! I don't want a kid right now, especially with someone who won't be able to support me. Men make children and way more than half of them take off, it just seems like the norm these days, and women are left to deal with everything!

I know I'm getting older but I don't want to be stuck and miserable and make an innocent child the same way. I feel so guilty and stupid but the reality is that I'm not ready and I'm horrified that I have to go through with this again. I have morning sickness morning noon and night, I've never thrown up but I'm so nauseous and short of breath all damn daylong! I just wish that men (especially mine) would have to feel and go through 1/3 (or 100 times) of the things that we do.

Thanks for listening to me vent.
