In shock! Due 1 October

Hi all

This is my very first post, I'm 24 years old and have been with my partner for 4 years.

I just found out yesterday afternoon (about 5pm) that I am pregnant and am very shocked.

I was over come with emotion, I crashed asleep last night but have been awake since 2am very nauseous and very scared/don't know how to feel.

My last period was around the 5th of January, we had sex on the 18th and I took the morning after pill first thing on the 19th.

My partner is 26 and being really supportive, even though he is in complete shock too.

I am seeing my doctor this morning for further tests to confirm, however three pregnancy tests I bought at the chemist came back positive (two lines). I bought a packet of 7 tests and was adamant the first two were incorrect!!!

I'm just looking for support and guidance. My emotions are all over the place!

I'm currently writing this post at 5:30am lol, I guess you could say I'm still very much in shock and disbelief.

I'm 20 and my husband and I just got married in September so when I found out I was pregnant a few weeks ago I reacted the same way... didn't believe the first test so took multiple and then was terrified and couldn't think straight the rest of the day my husband is so supportive so be thankful that your partner is too... that's so helpful to have that love and supports.    After a few days though the fear and shock totally went away for us and now we are just so excited.   Babies are such a blessing! It helped us to get over the initial freak out by going baby shopping. .. looking at all the cute clothes and furniture and everything  is so fun and also reading on thw babies progress is so exciting.
