Got pregnant too quickly?

I came off the pill half way through December, purely to give myself some rest from it after taking it solid for 3 years. I thought nothing would happen anyway (naive I guess) and realized my period never arrived. Its now the 4th week in January and I think I'm about 3 wks pregnant.

I never even had a natural period! I'm very worried, haven't seen my Doctor as yet... I’m going this week but I still can't stop thinking, “what if something goes wrong because of not having a natural period and falling pregnant so soon?”

I never thought it was possible after taking the pill for so long.

19, pregnant, and excited

My boyfriend and I had just gotten engaged, both of us 19 yrs old and making our way through college... A couple of weeks later I decided to take a year off from college just to make things easier.... A good thing because 5 weeks later we found out I was pregnant!!!

Both of us have jobs, but I don't get many hours and so it's going to be a little difficult but it's not going to kill us!!! He and I are both thrilled about the baby that will enter our lives sometime in September.

Just remember no matter what your financial situation there is always a way to "make it"!

superhuman senses

Hi everyone. I just found out 4 days ago that I’m pregnant! About 6 weeks. I found out because I was hospitalized. The doc diagnosed me with encephalitis! My senses are superhuman! Everything is so bright, loud and SMELLY! And geesh this all day sickness is horrible!

But my hubby & I are soooo excited! I have had no obvious signs such as nausea but have had spotting, heartburn and a strange sensation in my lower abdomen.

Excited but also a little scared

I just found out this week that I'm pregnant for the third time. My first pregnancy ended in miscarriage at 8 weeks and then we were blessed with our beautiful baby boy (who is now 5 yrs. old).

My husband and I are extremely excited but I'm a little scared because I keep having abdominal cramping. I'm approx. 4 to 5 weeks. It feels like I'm about to get my period. I have not been spotting or anything.

I worry because our first pregnancy ended in miscarriage at 8 weeks. I also cramped a lot then too.

vanishing twin at 9 weeks

I had my 9th week U/S today. We were expecting fraternal twins, but no heartbeat was found on one of my twins. We tried 5 years straight with every technique. This is our 1st pregnancy.

Now, we are devastated and scared out of our minds that the surviving fetus won't make it either. There is no explanation as to why this happened, and there is no say the other fetus is going to be okay.

We are having another U/S next week. Now I know why Tom Cruise bought an U/S machine to use at home. We are grieving the loss, yet, we are blessed that one of our babies is still fighting to survive.
