When I found out I didn't  move I couldn't talk I was just in complete shock b/c I was a freshman in college my bf was with me when I found out and they brought him to the baack and he looked at me and started crying that's when emotions came back one tears led to two whole days full of tears then on top of finding that out it was finals weeks. He told his family and I called my mother her reaction was NOT expected scared the mess outta me and him but I'm 17weeks and 5days. Happiness is slowly coming but depression is kicking my butt at night.

I was so happy. My husband and I had been "trying but not trying" if that makes sense. I had had a miscarriage two years prior, I was starting to become convinced that I couldn't get pregnant which was heartbreaking because I've always wanted to be a mother. Each time I tested negative I cried for nearly an hour, whether he was there or not, although having him there made it hurt less. Finally in November I was due to start a period on a Monday and by lunchtime I hadn't heard anything from my period (which normally starts anywhere between midnight and 9 AM) so I rushed to Wal-mart and bought one of those early-response tests. I actually did a dip test instead of the urine-flow because I wanted to be 100% sure and eliminate human error. It was a faint line but it was definitely there, and I couldn't stop myself, I cried again, but there was no pain this time. My friend and I went out to one of those consignment boutiques and bought a car seat for $5, set it up in the back seat of my car, and when i saw my husband that night i told him I had "some stuff in the back" that I needed him to get. The look on his face was worth all of those negatives and all of the tears. We've got three weeks to go and both of us are chomping at the bit to meet our little buddy.

Well we were trying. With the exception of the month i actually got pregnant lol. I know i was pregnant i had implantation bleeding and so 4 days later on my birthday i took a test the line was so light where i said it was neg. deep down i was really upset. my husband said he noticed it but didn't want to freak me out. lol So i just so happen to get a severe sinus cold type of thing this same day so of course i got a steroid shot and took some sinus meds. and so that weekend i ate crawfish stew and got extremely sick threw up for 2 day lol. a couple days later were sitting out by a fire and my friends ask me if i wanted a beer. of course i wanted one but i didn't take the offer because i know i was pregnant in my heart. a few days later i missed my period and my husband wanted me to take a test i kept telling him no and then i forgot and whatever. i woke up on the 3rd day after my missed period and went pee. the pregnant line showed up first then the not pregnant line showed up and i said to myself OHH FU*K!!!!!!! lol and went put the test on my husbands work clothes and he got dressed and didn't even see the test. so when he came kiss me goodbye i asked if he seen what i left him. he said no so i made him go look. and he seen it and he was just so thrilled and happy as can be. he got back in bed and snuggled with my until he had to leave. I was just really shocked but we were both very excited. we both knew it was going to be a little girl and that's what we wanted and that's what we will be having in 9 days!!!!!

I ran to my room and cried while my boyfriend held me :( I was so sad and scared. My bf didn't have a job and I didn't have health insurance. I pretty much cried myself to sleep every night. BUT now Im like super happy and I honestly can't wait till my baby boy is in my arms. Oh and my bf and I got married he has a job and I got my health insurances so we're fine now (:

In nearly all the storys iv read, we all fell pregnant at the least expected time..! It also shows that when you arnt thinking about it and not trying for a baby it happens. Well congrats to all of you!! And the very best luck in labour and in motherhood!

To all the mommys and mommys-to-be who's baby daddy's asked for DNA tests, does it not feel like you're baby it being denied by his/hers dad? I couldn't bare thinking about my hubby doing that!

I was in complete shock because we used protection and when you use protection you don't think about having a baby. So I ended up going back to the store to buy more test and I bought like 20. I went home and took all of them and every single one was positive. Still couldn't believe it so I tried to go buy more until they stopped and told me that's enough(it's not going to change) we were only dating a month so I just wanted to cry. We are still together and doing great and he is the sweetest guy I ever dated. Now I'm soooo excited!!

When I found out I was excited, happy and nervous. Then I told his father and he freaked. He gave the phone to his friend and though I was happy, realizing I was now on the phone with his friend took away some of my joy. When his father got back on the phone he said how he shouldn't have been so careless, and should of known better.. I strongly believed I couldn't get pregnant and had planned to join the Navy.

Needless to say I locked myself in the bathroom and just cried. Later he texted me saying how he wanted a DNA test and other stuff. We aren't together anymore but our friendship is still pretty strong. We're both really excited to see what our little boy looks like c: 2 more weeks!

I've been married about 3 1/2 years now. 4 in December. My husband and myself tried for about 6 months after we got married. I was taking fertility drugs and everything. Just wasn't our time. I was convinced my husband could not have children. End of January this year I decided to stop my birth control. My husband is active duty in the USAF and was going on a 4 month deployment to Japan middle February. So I figured I'd give my body a couple months to adjust so when he came home we could start trying again. Beginning of March I decided to test. I knew it would be negative because the many times before they always were. To my surprise it had an extra faint positive line! I immediately freak out! Overwhelmed with enjoyment! Called my mom, sister and brother! I just couldn't belIeve it! The next day I got to tell my husband via Skype. He was so happy and excited! He just kept saying, "really? Really? I'm gonna be a dad?!?" I'm now currently 21+3 weeks pregnant with our son♥

I went to the doctors because I had been horribly sick for 3 weeks straight. Being pregnant never crossed my mind....AT ALL. Lol when the doctor came in and told me, all I heard was "it's positive." After that I went home and cried for a couple hours...and cried the next day, and the day after that. For probably about a week lol I was like Omg my life is over. But nos that I can feel my little one move, and I find out the sex in 1 week, I'm so excited!

I couldnt believe it at first. We had been trying for 1 1/2 year. I told myself after two yrs we would go for fertility treatment. I kinda gave up in my heart so after spending new years at my parents i felt very ill at there house. I thought it was because of anxiety since i didnt want to leave them after only five days, i only saw them twice a year. But when i got home i still felt sick. So my hubby said take a test. And i laughed and laughed and told him he was only getting his hopes up and i didnt want to break my heart again and angain. Well i took one to shut him up really, didnt look at it left it right there on the counter. My hubby looked at it after three minutes and he was quiet so i didnt any of it. He came oit with a big smile and tears in his eyes and i started crying :) i was overly happy and so was my hubby. We are now ecpecting our son in 8weeks!!!!!!!

I was every emotion you could think of. Happy sad confused lost thrilled worried etc. I couldn't believe it. After a miscarriage and almost 2years of trying I had basically given up. I really only took the test (not cause I thought I was pregnant) but because I just need one more negative for me to just stop hoping. Then it came out positive. I had no emotion in me right then- just a blank stare at the rest of my life. I sent a pic to my husband cause I really didn't know what else to do. I was in shock. I literally walked into the living room (my in laws were visiting) and sat next to them on the couch watched a movie and went to bed. Said nothing about it but couldn't stop thinking about it. We waited to tell everyone cause we needed to be 100% sure. But here we are 19w1d and my baby is as healthy and active as it could be so early (:

I was in shock and utter disbelief. My jaw hit the floor, and I cried quite a lot. That was when I got a positive at home test. I was silent and felt it difficult to speak at my first appointment when they confirmed it, and during my first ultrasound I was still in shock and didn't know what to think. Of course my strong reactions were due to the fact that the baby's father left me only less than a month before finding out with an at home test, and he told me to go to h*** when I told him and he hasn't spoken to me since. My situation though I've overcome it, my baby is the most important priority in my life and that will never change.

I couldn;t believe it, I ended up taking like 7 tests in one night cause of the shock.   My BF was away down South working so I text him a pic of all the positive tests, and we could barely speak to each other for about 3 days cause of the shock lol x
