So my husband and I had been trying to conceive but since my periods were very irregular every month was a disappointment we had already given up on getting pregnant then I remember the day after the superbowl lol I started feeling my breasts were very sore like I had been working out alot but it just ignored it since I recently had my period during last days of January and I was very irregular, so then along came February and towards mid February I had cramp like feeling like the ones you get before ur period is about to start for about two weeks then towards the last days of February I noticed light reddish spotting which had never ever happened to me soo I told my husband about it and we went bought a pregnancy like in the middle of the night and on February 28 I woke up first thing in the morning and took the test and it came out positive :-) :-) :-) I was in total shock like I couldn't believe we were going to be parents we cried out of joy and now here I am 31weeks prego ftm expecting a boy!! :-) The sad part is that around the days we conceived was around the same time our 6month old nephew passed I get soo sad sometimes to think about it but at the same time im very thankful with god for sending us our little bundle of joy.

I missed my period & my mom made me take 5 different pregnancy tests because she didn't believe them,  then when the blood test came back positive she believed it kinda but the first ultrasound was her final way of believing lol cx

Mine was a shock. I had went to the doctors to have a checkup because of a car accident I was in at work. I hadn't been there in a while so they pretty much gave me a physical. The nurse came into the room all smiles.. Which I thought was normal cuz she's a pretty happy giddy person. And told me congratulations ms ouellette your pregnant. I went from a smile to a straight face. "What??!!" So not ready for that. But now I'm happy. As can be

I had never been pregnant but is women know our body and know when something is different for me I had heartburn for a week and my nana had just passed and so I though stress was the reason I wasn't starting but then my breasts got really sore and felt heavy. And behold the pee test.

So while I was on travel for work (10 long days), I stopped wanting red bull and all the normal foods I had been looking forward to on this trip. When I got back, my bf then looked at me and said, "babe, are your boobs bigger?" I couldn't wear half the clothes I brought with me on the trip because I grew a full cup size. So went home, took a pee test. Positive. Then went for the ultrasound....I thought I was 5 weeks. I was really 9. This has been the biggest change in my life.

I found out by chance !!
Actually my period was late for 2 weeks but I didn't care I thought because of contraceptive tablets that I stoped recently
But one day I had fever and horrible body pain so I went to the hospital and they told me I have UTI and the doctor wrote for me antibiotic
That time I told the doctor that I missed my period and he decided to do pregnancy test in case
And there I am same day got news that I have UTI & Baby inside xD
It was a surprise !!

Well missing my prd is a first because I've never ever missed a prd. And theeen, vomiting for the longest i knew something was up. So did mom, so she bought a test and it came out positive, went to a cheap clinic and took another free test and positive as well, turned out to be 6wks pregnant. Not planned at all, so it was such a shock. But as an accident, I was scared the whole time something was gonna go wrong. Here I am 37wks and I can't wait to hold my sweet baby girl:)

Ive known I was pregnant since the day I conceived my baby on July 8th. we've been trying for 10 months with no luck at all and then one morning I had a transparent pinkish clear looking discharge and I knew instantly that I was pregnant. I took a test a month later and showed it to my bf in stake and shake, he was so happy he almost cried right there. When I went to my first ultrasound and she told me how far along I was she even pin pointed july 8th as the day of conception before I told her about the discharge.
