my lil girl

Well, I have gotten over the morning sickness. I'm about 21 weeks right now. I’m due on May 19.

I can feel the baby move inside me. I can’t feel her kick yet but I can feel the turning inside. I’m getting really excited now. I can’t wait till she comes out. I just get really tired; throughout the days I have to nap. I have a lot of sores all around my body I can feel.

So Excited!

I just want to thank all of you for your stories and wish you the very best of luck with your pregnancies and deliveries.

My husband and I are 20 weeks pregnant today! I have also had some struggles. We had tried to get pregnant for almost two years with no success so without having gone to the doctor I already figured something was wrong with us.

Having recently graduated from college and being busy with a new career we pushed the idea of a child aside. Earlier this year I had been really, really sick. I tried all kinds of medicine. It never occured to me that I was pregnant. I figured when I missed my period in August that the stress of teaching this school year was just getting to me. When I missed it again in September I knew it was time to get a test. I think its funny because everyone seemed to realize I was pregnant but me! I'll never forget the moment when I took that test and sent my husband the text message that read, "Congratulations Daddy!" He was so happy that he told everyone…and I mean everyone.

At eight weeks I had to go to the emergency room for some bleeding. I was so scared. I couldn't understand what had gone wrong. The doctor said I had a subchorionic hemorrhage and that I had a 50% chance of losing the baby. Talk about worried...that’s all I have been since I went to the hospital that day. I had to be on bed rest for a little while and I had some problems with my blood pressure.... I think that was sparked by my own worrying.

I am now 20 weeks along and Tuesday we should find out if we are having a boy or a girl! I haven't had any complications since then. It seems as though the problem healed itself. This is my first baby so I'm not sure if I've felt movement or not. Sometimes I think I do but I'm not sure. I can't wait until I'm sure that in fact my baby’s movements are what I'm feeling!

God bless to all!

Baby Number Two:)

I'm currently 18 weeks pregnant with my second baby :) I was extremely ill this go round, but about two weeks before Christmas it decided to let up, finally at 16 weeks! I haven't thrown up since, YAY :) I'm really starting to feel much better, emotionally and physically. I guess that's why they call this the honeymoon trimester:) (Knock on wood, I don't want it to end!)

With my first, my lovely little boy, I wasn't ill at all and only 18 when I found out I was pregnant. My then boyfriend had a horrible time dealing with, as he was only 18 as well. I mention this story, because I've read many stories on here about girls who got pregnant around that same age. When our son was about one yr. old, my boyfriend finally started to come around, we were growing up.

By 21 we both had great careers and were building our first house. You can do it! We married this past May, and that's when I decided to come off birth control, as we didn't want our second to be too much older than our first. I became pregnant within 3 months! I wasn't expecting it to be that soon.

My son will be four and a half when the new baby arrives. I'm so happy to experience pregnancy again and for it to be a wonderful thing and all our family is extremely excited. It is really hard to have a baby young, but you so can do it. My son is the love of both my husband’s and my life. I can't wait to experience that love x2 :)

Although, no more! We're done!

scared and exicted

I'm am 28 years old and my husband and I are expecting are first child. I am very excited and also very scared. When I was between 6 and 7 weeks pregnant I had to go to the ER 2 different times because I was spotting. I was so scared. But thanks to a lot of prayers everything so far has been alright. But I still can't shake the fear of something happening,

I am 17 weeks and I already love this baby so much. One fear I have is going into preterm labor. Working at a hospital hasn't helped the worry much either. But hopefully with a lot a prayers and hope I will get to see my little miracle soon.

Good luck to all and I will keep you all in my prayers.

Unexpected

I was in a relationship about 4 or 5 months that ended. I didn't notice at the end of the relationship that I had missed my period, because I have a really bad memory. I never was very good at keeping track of it, and it had always been really irregular. After the relationship ended, I either didn't even notice (for some reason) that I wasn't getting my period because I was too stressed (I'm a 17-year-old living on my own), or I credited it to stress. But I started to grow bigger, and a couple of people asked me if I was pregnant, which made me self-conscious, so I got a test done. I found that I am almost 20 weeks pregnant, which was quite a surprise to me.

At first I felt really degraded, even though I'm not promiscuous at all. But I plan to put my baby up for adoption, and I've been thinking; I'm a lot more excited about being pregnant now than I was at first. My current boyfriend is extremely supportive, for which I am grateful. When we go to sleep he kisses me and says goodnight, then kisses my stomach and says, "Goodnight, baby." And as for the whole adoption thing, I've been thinking about it, and I'm really excited that I can give the biggest gift of all to someone who may not otherwise be able to have children of their own.

Children are a gift from God, and I find it so amazing that I am able to grow one. It's such a beautiful thing. Yes, at times it can be uncomfortable and inconvenient, but we as women are truly blessed to be able to do this. Congratulations to all of us!
