Planned or a surprise?

My baby was a little of both. It was like 'if it happens, it happens'. Now expecting our princess in 16 days.

What about you guys? Planned or not? And what are you having and when?

Definately not planned. I found out a week and a half after I filled out the FASFA form for college and knew my future had changed BIG TIME. I showed my husband (fiance at the time) and was seriously scared that he would leave. He didn't. He wasn't thrilled, but he knew we both made the baby and he couldn't just walk away like it wasn't his. Now he's extremely impatient and I'm being induced on Monday.

It was a total surprise for me. Me and my bf tried for two years. I have one ovary and later we found out that he couldnt have children it was very unlikely if he did he also has 1 testicle due to an accident. I gave up on the hope and even considered doing an artificial insemination. My period was late but i didnt mind it with 1 ovary id last even 4 months without seeing a period. I had a doctors appt when i went peed in a cup and tadahh i was preggo best miracle in the world love my little princess

We've lost two planned pregnancies in the last year and our son is nearly 4 years old so yes absolutely we were trying for our second (and last) baby! I'm due in June, on our wedding anniversary, and we're keeping gender a surprise which is so exciting.

It was a total surprise for my bf and I. We were told that since my hormones were so imbalanced it would be very difficult for us to conceive without being put on medication. So we agreed that we would just go back to the doctors to start the medication when we were ready to have a baby.little did we know that 3.5 month later our lives were going to change. The month I found out I was pregnant I had no symptoms what so ever just a late period which was normal to me since my hormones were all out of walk so I didn't think anything of it. So we enjoyed our time at six flags one weekend and when we got home boyfriend insisted I take a test for haha's. So I did knowing it would be negative because of what I was told by the doctor  but to my surprise it said PREGNANT! I was completely shocked and shaking. I went to show my boyfriend and when he saw the test there was silence and I became very worried but the next thing I heard was "WE'RE HAVING A BABY!!!!" And I remember him hugging me so tight and I knew that everything would be ok. I'm now 29 weeks and expecting a baby girl.

Definite surprise! Due date is July 24th!
I had a doctors appointment for another birth control prescription, I had a highways construction job and couldn't get a refill.
Went and paid for 3 months of birth control and then my period was late. Took 3 tests, PREGNANT! My boyfriend was more excited than me, I am now so excited to be on this journey of first time motherhood!

Good luck and Congratulations everyone!

My fiancé and I tried almost a year after losing our baby March last year at 6 weeks. We tried for about 3 months and never got pregnant so we quit trying cause and financial situation. Let's just say a month later I kept getting sick didn't think anything of it and people kept teasing me I was pregnant I didn't believe them. Finally I just took a pregnancy test just to prove them wrong well they proved me wrong I went to the doctor and found out I was 8 weeks pregnant. This has been the greatest blessing and we are now 33 weeks pregnant with a healthy baby boy due February 14th :) we had to go to specialist cause our little guy wanted to come early at 16 weeks so now I get 17p shots which I no longer have to see the specialist since baby boy is healthy as can be. I am one happy mommy and this is our little miracle
