Is it hard for anyone else to believe?

[TARA1178]

I found out 2 weeks ago today that I am pregnant, but I just cannot get myself to believe it.  I have 4 other children, and you would think that I know what's going on, but for some reason I can not believe that I am pregnant!  I have taken 7 tests, and I still have doubt in the back of my mind!  I have done tons of research on false positives, due to the fact that I was on several different medications, but all arrows point to yes I am pregnant!  My husband and I were not officially "trying" but we figured if it happens than it happens.  I got my IUD taken out the end of february, we used contraception until probably the middle of April, and I got pregnant right away!....I just wanted to see if there was anyne else experiencing this situation, or maybe someone has, and they can give me some advice on how to pound this into my head!!  Thanks all!

Thanks guys for all your help...I know I am probably just being silly, but the only thing that worried me was that I hope I do eventually get over this disconnection.  I don't want to feel this way when the baby comes...however, I am pretty sure that as soon as I see the scan, I will come to accept it.  Yes, I am VERY fertile, my youngest is 2 and a half, my husband was in the Navy, and I got pregnant within 2 weeks of his return from deployment!  So, I know deep down that this is most definately possible, I just hate feeling this way!  Maybe it's because I have so many kids?  For goodness sakes, when this one comes I will almost have a starting lineup for a football team, lol!!  Anyways, thanks guys for your great words of wisdom, and it's nice to know that I am not the only one going through this!

I was that way w/ this baby too at first.  I am 22 weeks but I tested the day I was expecting my period to come.  I had tried to get pregnant and all.  It came up + right away and I swear I had peed like 15 times that morning and still a very immediate +.  I kept the test in my closet on a shelf while DH was at work and I swear I must have gone in there and looked at it 20 times throughout the day!!  I couldn't believe it either and this is my 6th child.  But about a week and a half later, when they vomitting began, there was no doubt!!

Good luck and congrats!!!!

I'm the exact same way.I also have 4 kids and this one was a surprise.  I am 21 weeks and have seen the baby and everything and I still can't believe it.  My placenta is anterior position so I can't even feel her kick alot either.  I just hope I start getting big soon!!  So needless to say I know how you feel.

Only a hormone that is released when you are pregnant can give the positive reading on a HPT. So it is 99.99 % likely you are pregnant. And with unprotected sex and stopping your contraceptives, that's all it will take if you don't have much difficulty becoming pregnant, so I'd say you are 100% pregnant (You have 4 children now - I'm guessing you are pretty fertile).
It can take a number of weeks, maybe until you see a bump growing before it sets in that you're having a baby. It will happen so don't worry. It is still early days and you haven't got used to thinking about 'babies' yet.

I am pretty sure that when I make an appointment, and hear the heartbeat it will sink in...but I just thought that maybe I am odd or something, because I can't even talk about it, when I try and actually say "I'm pregnant", I kind of choak on the words!  I have to force it out!  I just have never felt this kind of, I guess I would call it, detatchment I guess.  It's like I'm talking about someone else!  By now with all of my other kids, it sank in and I was all good, but this one seems kind of, oh, I don't know how I could describe it....maybe, like a dream?  I am just scared that I won't get over this feeling...I mean, it's not like I don't have any symptoms..I am ravenously hungry, soooo tired, I have to pee like 500 times a day, I am almost constantly nauseous (which I didn't have with any of my other pregnancies!), and the biggest hint of them all, 6 positive home tests, and a positive test at the clinic!  Wow....I have issues I think!

I have a ten month old son, I still can't believe I had him. I find myself looking at him and thinking "that's really my baby?", because I still can't believe I'm a mom!~~~I never expected to have a baby when I did, it was all so fast. I got pregnant a month after getting married, I was still getting used to being married. DH and I decided not to try, but not to prevent it either...I expected it to take a few months!

I'm almost 17 weeks, have seen baby on sonogram, have heard their heartbeat multiple times and I've even felt those first flutters. It still isn't real to me either! It will probably become very real when I can really feel movements.

The first weeks it was pretty surreal for me because I didn't have any symptoms but then after hearing the heart beat and seeeing my little bean on the ultrasound it started to sink in.  Now that he's kicking, Oh I can believe it!  
Make an appointment with your doctor it will make it seem more real once you are seen by a doctor and they start doing all the tests and evereything.
