happy

Reading these has made me SO happy. I am 18, engaged and me and my love are TTC and I'm about 5 days late with all the symptoms (first hpt was neg but I'm pretty sure I'm preg so I'm gonna test again tomorrow). Our families and friends think we are crazy for wanting to get married so young (we have been together HAPPILY for 2 years), so it made me happy to read about so many of you 19ish year old that are married. Maybe we're not so nuts. And as far as the ttc goes, our friends and family don't know. I know they will be upset at first, but I also know they will come around when they have a new baby to love. Me and my fiance are really happy with our decisions. This feels right to us, but I can't help doubt things when everyone else seems to think were nuts. It just is really nice to know there are a lot of young couples that are just as "nuts" as us. Thanx guys....you all made todays crazy mood swing positive!! god bless!

Encouragement for Sonia

Sonia, your story made me want to write to you.....you have a lot going on right now, and being newly pregnant with all the hormones that come along with that, you're in a very emotional state and that can make things seem bleaker than they are. Sometimes I wonder if pregnancies last so long to give people time to accept them, and eventually to love them.

Give your parents some time to get past the intial shock, and they might surprise you. Remember, grandchildren are fantistically fun!!! They might not seem very supportive now, but maybe once they see and hold that precious baby, their hearts will just melt - and so will your's. Don't buy problems worring about the "what if's", or at least try to keep them to a minimum. (easier said than done, huh?) :-)

Keep your chin up and remember, even if your life takes a different turn now, it doesn't mean it's a wrong turn. You can do anything!

crampy but pregnant is it ok?

Three weeks ago I went for a pregnancy test and it came out NEGATIVE but a week later I tested at home and it was POSITIVE! Then three days after I got a very serious pain on my left side down stomach I visited a gynae and suggested to do an ultrasound to check whether the baby is in right position, the results came out NOTHING IN THE WOMB but UPT POSITIVE! I almost fainted but the doc suggested a second opinion from another Gynae so we went and he told us that he can not decide to operate coz the pregnancy is still too small to be seen on the ultrasound and gave us two weeks or if the pains gets severe I go back but from that day have not had anymore pains on my left side but I'm crampy and can not enjoy sex anymore! I have this fear that I may misscarry or you know....... please help , is it normal to be crampy on the early pregnancy? Is there anyone who's going thru the same thing .... please share, or could I be having an ectopic pregnancy???

CONFUSED!

confused

I recently found out I was pregnant about a week ago. I'm 21 going on 22 next month and have been married for a lil' over a year now. The thing is when my husband and I found out the news, we were just in a state of shock. We were not trying to have a baby it's just one of those things that just " kinda happened." I'm just in a numb state right now... I don't feel excited nor do I feel depressed about the situation and neither does my husband. All I know is that I'm extremely sensitive and always hungry!!! This will be our first child so hopefully we will come out of denial and start enjoying our pregnancy.

Suprise pregnancy

I went to the doctor two days ago because I was up crying hysterically the previous night. I figured it had something to do with my irregular periods, or the fact that I was diagnosed with PCOS years ago. Before I could leave with my prescription for Zoloft, she wanted me to take a pregnancy test. I am 23 and have been having unprotected sex with my husband for 3 years, and I have always figured we would need to seek help to get pregnant. So imagine the shock when the Dr. came in the room and said "Well, you're so moody right now 'cause youre pregnant!" It is Friday today, I am waiting to get the Ultrasound on Tuesday to see how far along I am. I still cannot convince myself that this is all real. I can't shake the feeling that I will soon wake up, and this dream will be over. The anxiety is overwhelming as I wait, and wait, to get that ultrasound done..... I have taken 2 more tests at home for some reason, I think to assure myself that this is real, and also partly because I love the rush of seeing that Pink line in the "pregnant" Section.
