whats your story

Did you plan to get pregnant or not? How long did it take? Married engaged or single?

We planned it. It only took 2 months shockingly. You always hear horror stories that it took forever. I am soon to be engaged. Our original plan was to be married in April but now since we having a baby we are gonna get married before the end of the year and honeymoon next year when I feel comfortable leaving the baby! :)

Mine was not planned but not prevented... 2 weeks before I found out I was expecting my boyfriend and I of 1 year split up... I found out he was cheating and had no clue!  But I couldn't be happier to be having a baby... He is also very happy and we actually do much better as friends than lovers!  No matter what happens my baby will be loved!

8 years ago i had just graduated and he was still in his last year of high school, baby boy was a surprise. When I told him he looked like he was gonna vomit! We made it through. This time... after he had been incarcerated for three years we couldn't keep our hands to yourselves! So i guess you could say planned at first we took precautions but after a month or two the prevention stopped. Baby boy #2 will be here in 2 weeks

With our first, it was our wedding night. He had always pulled out (we had been together 6 years then.) I told him I wanted a baby and he said "I know" and didn't pull out, bam! Pregnant. I was on mirena after my son was born. I got it removed a couple years ago but we weren't trying, just went back to pulling out. I talked to him for over a year about trying again. He finally got on board the end of January and I got a positive hpt in Feb. Two babies, one try each. I know I am very lucky. Can't wait to meet our daughter in a couple months!

Both planned first one took nine months second took 4 years. Doctor wasn't helpful just kept telling us keep trying.  Now that I am pregnant due January I may have an overactive thyroid and he tells me that could be the reason why it took so long. Although I been tested for it last year twice and nothing.all of a sudden now it's showing up overactive. But I am in excited for this bundle of joy can't wait to find out the gender

It wasn't planned but we weren't  using contraceptives other than my period calendar. We started talking about future plans of when we would start trying, then we found out about 3 weeks later that the deed has already been done. We are happy and engaged to be married soon.

Not planned and we were busy stressing about a move and not to mention our marriage was falling apart big time. We found out after I missed my period. And we decided we needed to work through our issues. We have 2 kids already, 4 and 1, both girls. We have been together 7 years and married 6. We went on a couple of marriage retreats and we are good now. We needed the push to jumpstart our love life again. This baby was the push. Due September 15th, but I know it's coming sooner.

Congrats to all the mommas on here!!

We didn't plan it at all! But we are thrilled it happened. Our four year old is happy. Sometimes the mistakes are the best things to happen to us: -)

My husband and i have been married for 4years but known each other for 13. None of our babies were EVER planned lol they just happened. Our second stayed hidden until i was almost 4months pregnant, i went to the hospital for excruciating back pain just to be told it's because i was pregnant. Super shocking especially since my first was only 5 months at the time. The doctor thought it was hilarious said I obviously conceived the first time we finally dtd postpartum. This is our 3Rd and my hubby told me i was pregnant. I didn't believe him until he made me take the test, which ofcourse came back positive. Guess he knew what he did.lol

Not planned. I still clearly remember that night my husband took out his condom in the middle of sex because the calendar said the ovulation was in 3 days... I didnt like it as it totally ruined my plan in my career. But as time go by, i start falling in love with my little one. So does my husband. We have been together for 7 years. He is much older and have a failed marriage before. I love him a lot so I wish my baby can grow up soon and be independent so that we can continue our romance.

Our little one was planned. Me and my hubby tried for 3 months last year to get pregnant and did but then we lost the baby at 7 weeks last October (on hubby's b-day). So, we tried again soon after and got pregnant in January and now our baby girl is due in October!

Totally a surprise! We did not plan it. We wanted to get married first, but oh well...baby first then marriage. We are getting married in less than one year :-)! We were good at protecting ourselves until we ran out of protection in the middle of getting it in. We went raw three times after that and bam...We are expecting our first little girl! We are both excited.
