Being pregnantWell lets start off with saying that i love kids and i cant wait to have my own. when i first got married i thought that me and my husband were going to have kids right away.. but turnes out he doesn't wanna have kids right away. He says he wants to enjoy the first year by oursevs before we have kids. because the seconed you have kids your whole life changes. so he just wanted for us to be alone for the first year of marriage and have no crying baby sounds all night long. So i kept trying to change his mind. (now keep in mind that as much as i like kids he loves them even more than i do HE'S CRAZY ABOUT AND BABY HE SEES but he just wants to take his time before he starts a family) any way every month i kept trying to get pregnant by accident (as you know there are certain days that a woman can get pregnant in) well i kept skipping a few days and telling him "hey it's okay today i cant get pregnant" and of course when you have a man in the right possition, he doesn't think to much with his head. well i kept on doing that for about three mmonths, and i just wouldn't get pregnant. anyway it was new year and i was trying to convince him to let me get pregnant from the begening of the year, he said no no no of course! so at the end of that month i was late. i thought that any day now it was going to come. but it got a week late so i started joking around with my husband and telling him that im pregnant. well my period just wouldnt come so mmy husband started believing that i might be pregnant HE STARTED GETTING REALLY WORRIED AND FRUSTERATED) on the other hand i didn't believe myself that i was pregnant, i just thought that for some reason my period was late. cause i was always getting those aweful cramps (the kind you get a couple days before your period) well my husband started really stressing! i was afraid to turn out pregnant and him get all mad at me! I WAS AFRAID OF WHAT WAS GONNA HAPPEN!! I STARTED WISHING THAT IM NOT PREGNANT. well after he saw me that i got so upset and worried he apoligized and told me "im gonna be happy with whatever god send to use, cause its surely a blessing" but i felt that he still was afraid. anyway we took the home pregnancy test and it turned out negative. a week later my period stiill hadn't come. so we went to the doctor and took a prgnancy blood test. AND I TURNED OUT PREGNANT. i put my hand on my belly,and i was sooo happy and my husband was being really supportive too! well now im 18 weeks pregnant with a boy.and now husbands more excited than i am! Eveytime he goes to work he comes back with cloths for the coming baby! He so excited that he can't stop thinking about the baby! I just wanted to say that everything ALWAYS turnes out for the best. weather the problem is with your husband or your parents. just keep in mind that the baby that's coming your way is the biggest blessing god will ever send you! Especially for you teen moms to be! oh did i mention im 16? ya and im married and my parents are very proud of me and my in laws love me and im very happy.(of course i dnt live in america cuz im under age to be married there i live in Dubai, but the rest of my Family lives in America) jenny MY LITTLE JOYHELLO SOON TO BE MOTHER'S I'M CURRENTLY 13WKS.

This is my story. Im 21 years old and its been a year since I started my military career as a Marine. And I love the path I chose a year ago. Anyway I remember telling my mom, and this was all the time, about me never having kids. But she would always say the same thing. That no one knew what kind of surprises we get in life or how the unexpected can happen or that we dont know our own future. Well, one day I wake up and I feel funny. I just wanna throw up and just feel naseous all day. A week goes by were Im naseous whenever i wake up. But I just think I might be getting sick, but I still tell my boyfriend (now husband) about it. He stays quiet and asks me if I think I might be pregnant. I say no but I still take a pregnancy test. It came back positive. I was in denial and so was he. So we bought 2 more and they're positive. Thats when I realized Im pregnant. And I lose it. I just start laughing and crying at the same time. My hubby looks at me weird but he's really excited. It was something completely unexpected. At first I was scared but now I cant wait for my lil angel to be born. Im now 18 weeks and will find out babys sex in 2 weeks. Im so very excited. And I feel so blessed because now I got a family of my own. Thank you God for this unexpected but most beautiful blessing.....I love you baby.....mommy and daddy love you and cant wait to see you....tania love being pregnantI'm 19 years old and 6 months pregnant with my first child. Me and the father of my unborn child are very happy together. When i first got pregnant in June of 2010 I was very happy. At 11 weeks and 5 days pregnant i had a miscarriage, it just broke my heart. After that I got on birth control because me and my boyfriend didnt need a child at the time. In September of 2010 me and him started having problems and broke up. A couple of weeks after we broke up i found out i was pregnant again, the birth control FAILED. I told my boyfriend about it and we got back together. Now we can't wait till our baby girl gets here in June of 2011. We are very excited about this. And we plan on getting married after she is born :]...caitlyn Interacting with my baby!Im 25 weeks and I am going to surprise myself about my baby's sex... and even though I dont know if my baby is male or female, I still seem to have this amazing bond with him/her... I can't believe how much I love my baby already-I can see baby kicking and moving around, sometimes we even play games... I touch a spot and s/he kicks me... I feel so connected to my child already and at times I could swear I can feel what s/he is feeling... the bond is already amazing. I talk to my baby constantly and do get weird looks from people if I say something to baby in a public place, but to me it doesnt matter because I know my child is there with me and can hear me so it only seems right to include my baby in what is going on. I ask "What do you want for dinner", I throw out suggestions, and it seems like s/he can even understand certain words... because everytime I ask "do you want some cheese" s/he will kick... Its really fun being pregnant, I have the most time out of anyone to get to know the baby... and s/he has the most time to get to know me as well... We do everything together (obvoiusly), eat, bathe, listen to music, watch TV... and s/he is definitally not shy about what s/he likes or dislikes... I know a few types of music baby prefers, I know s/he likes bass filled music and dances when s/he hears it... I know s/he hates it when anyone other than me or his/her daddy tries to feel him/her move, because when I do it baby kicks and moves around happily and same goes for babys daddy but the second anyone else tries to feel s/he will suddenly stop moving and will refuse to move again until s/he is sure they arent around anymore... the same thing goes for altrasounds and dopplers, except instead of refusing to move, s/he kicks feircly and I know s/he is angry, and in my heart I can just feel that s/he doesnt appriciate what is going on at that moment. But I have found that I seem to be able to calm my baby down, if I rub my tummy and talk to baby then s/he will let them listen and look in... but if I dont do anything, they have the most difficult time getting a good picture or heart rate.... so I guess my baby is already a mommys baby. Anyway, I just thought I would share a few interesting things about my pregnancy and child... I hope everyone else who is pregnant is enjoying bonding with their baby and getting to know them before they are born, because in my opinion this is a great time to do so....
