The day I found out I was pregnant...how was your like?

Question

First thing first. I am 21 years old. I've been with my boyfriend since I was 16 years old. We were barely packing our stuff from our individual homes and getting ready to move in togther in a WEEK when we found out. I was so excited, nervous, anxious, just a roller coaster of emotions about the idea of living with him Lol before I found out I was pregnant,  I noticed that I was REALLY tired, I would even take naps in the middle of the day (which was odd for me) I could barely keep my eyes open in class and work,  everyday I had to have a mcflurry from McDonalds. My mom would ask me "are you pregnant?" And I would be like what? no! Thinking that my menstrual period was coming at any second. I would get this menstrual like- cramp but way lower than usual (it felt different) My BF would even make comments like "omg imagine your pregnant!" Because of my McFlurry cravings. It's almost as if people sensed it but me! my BF came and got me that night for a date, and even bought me pregnancy tests! He was like better safe than sorry, since we were planning on going to a bar with friends that weekend...I was only 2 days late which I'm late almost every cycle by 2-3 days. So I just got the test and took them thinking that he's just overreacting...a couple seconds later...2 lines came up. My eyes opened up so wide! and I instantly cried! I was soooo shocked that I didn't even hit me what was going on! I took two more, and two lines again! So many thoughts came into my mind. Obviously, this baby wasnt planned, and as much as I was sooo afraid, and shocked, and nervous, and emotional, I will never regret this💕💕 hearing and seeing the baby through an ultrasound for the first time time ever, is by far the best experience ever...to know that I have my little human being inside of me growing and jumping around is amazing. And I am so thankful, that I have a great man by my side supporting me and being there for me. I can't wait til the time comes, when I finally get to hold my baby boy or girl in my arms💕💕💕 I am so blessed!!!!

What are your ladies stories?:)

I'm 23 and tried for three years to get pregnant with my boyfriend , month after month of disappointments , we stopped trying and July 2015 I started having cravings out of my mind for tacos with extra sour cream,  I went out a night of drinking with my sister who kept telling me my breast grew but I didn't see it . I took the test and it was positive I was so shocked!  I went to my obgyn and got scheduled for my ultrasound.  I arrived Early and was so excited until I got in the exam room and saw my baby on the screen then was told it had no heartbeat I was supposed to be 9+4 but bub only measured 7+2 . I was told I was about to have a miscarriage.  That week I was back and fourth to the doctor.  I decided I wanted to pass naturally with the hopes of seeing as much of my baby as I could.  Aug 30 I was told everything was still in tact the process would be a whike I just prayed it was a dream.  But on Aug 31 I started having what felt like contractions and later that night passed my baby and got to see him / her still in the sack.  That's all I wanted.  It was a very traumatic experience.

I took a test in October 20 to my surprise I got a positive after having my first period after my missed miscarriage October 4-7 . I'm currently 32 weeks 4 days due July 10th with a completely healthy baby boy I am so happy and blessed

Sorry this is so long:
I'm 24, been married just a little over a year. My hubby (26) and I knew each other for 1 month before we started dating. We got married after dating for 2 months. Some people call us crazy, I call us crazy in love. Needless to say we started trying as soon as we got married. 
About 10 months after we got married I started a new job at a factory. The job I had before this factory job became so stressful I actually started having panic attacks and I walked out after being there for over a year. It was hard because the money was very good but it wasn't worth the stress to me. Anyway, on my 3rd day of work at the factory (Jan 18th 2016) I hitched a ride from a friend. I lit a cigarette (had been a smoker for 7 years) and smoked it on the way. Put out my cigarette and immediately felt extremely nauseous. My friend said, are you gonna throw up?? I was like no I'm...  BLEHHHHH and starting puking all over myself. So embarrassing! Especially because it was her car, and it was a very nice car at that. 
We get to work and I had to call in because I was covered in puke. Had to wait for an hour in the parking lot for my dad to come give me a ride back home (hubby was at work). Dad took me by a drug store to get a pregnancy test. When I finally got home I took the test and sure enough it was definitely positive! 
I think it was funny because I couldn't get pregnant until I quit that super stressful job! It just goes to show how much stress can effect your body. I'm now 23 + 1 with our baby boy. We can't wait to meet our little man! 
Oh and BTW I quit smoking that day, too! 😉

My boyfriend and I weren't trying but we weren't not trying, we had some issues for a while. I had a miscarriage in September 2014, then months of really irregular cycles, then a blighted ovum in June 2015 and a chemical pregnancy my cycle after that. We weren't sure if it were possible for us. I was working a really stressful job. I'm a chemist and was working with some really nasty, poisonous chemicals. I made the decision to switch jobs the summer of 2015, and got a new job at a way better company where I wouldn't be so stressed or be working with so many poisons. I got my period the first week I was working my new job. When my next period was supposed to arrive it was late and my boobs started hurting really bad, like I couldn't even touch them. I didn't think much of the late period but my boobs hurting made me wonder. I took a test about a week after my missed period and got a positive! I showed my boyfriend and he wasn't sure how to feel since we had so many issues in the past. I took another a few days later and got a darker positive line so then we got excited! It didn't really sink in for us until our first ultrasound when we saw our little bean and heard his heart beat. Today is my due date and we're just waiting on him to decide to arrive!

I was 21 when I found out, now I'm 22. I found out March 15 ,2016. I was late on my period too, but I didn't think I was pregnant at all. I have been with my boyfriend since I was 14. We had moved in together since last year begining of November 2015. Anyways, that day March 15, like any other normal day I went to work and my husband went to his work.and we kissed goodbye and said we see each at home after work. So I went to work it was like 7 am I was working, standing up, then suddenly I felt so dizzy, and was sweating, I told my coworker I didn't feel good. Then I passed out. I woke up everyone at work all around me. They took me to the clinic, but the nurse wasn't there yet. So I went home at 7,30am. I thought I was sick or something because I had not been eating well lately. But then I got to my car, I started to cry like for no reason, then I thought I was pregnant, but I wasn't forsure . I  called my boyfriend and told him I was going home because I didn't feel good. He said he would go home with me, to take care of me. So then while going home I told him I was going to buy a pregnancy test just to be sure. So got home took the test, but I was sure that I was going to get a negative, because before I had several pregnancy test they were all negative, and had lost all hope. When I saw the 2 lines. I started crying, alot of emotions, and got off the restroom crying and my boyfriend saw me, he knew I was pregnant just by my face , he hugged me, aND that same day we went to a pregnancy center to confirm. We are sooo happy now. 15 weeks , expecting a baby girl due november 10.!!!! ♡♡♡♡

I have PCOS so my periods were never consistent so I would take pregnancy test every couple of months just to make sure, but this time was different.  I noticed that my breast were hurting terribly like they had a burning sensation and I was really cranky.  My SO came to see me the weekend before I took the test and we had sex it felt different and I told him then that I think I'm pregnant, but we both just brushed it off because we've been through this before and nothing happened.  I was also in nursing school, I just graduated, and I was literally learning about mother baby and just noticed I had a lot of the symptoms.  Monday comes and I had a test that day, in mother baby, and I decided I was going to go pick up the test and take it so at around 9 at night I took the test and it showed the plus sign and I was in complete shock.  I cried but not because I was happy but because I was in my last semester of college, I didn't have a job, I didn't have my own place, a baby just wasn't apart of my plans.  The first person I told was my SO and he didn't believe me lol so I had to call my best friend over and she was like yeah you are definitely pregnant.  She took the pictures to send to him and he was just in shock as much as I was, which is funny because he always said he wanted his first before he turned 25 and he will be 24 when the baby is born.  I called my mom next I didn't really want to tell the rest of the family until I was sure, I was in denial, but before I had that option she put me on Threeway with my other sisters and my grandma and she told them all.  So in amount of hours 6 people knew.  Next morning I took a digital with my fmu and it said positive and that I was around 3-4 weeks pregnant, but I hadn't had a period since November so I scheduled an appointment immediately with my ob and I was 5 weeks then.  I am now 18 and 2 with my baby boy and I am so excited.  We have a great support system and I can't wait to meet him.

I was 19 when I found out. I'm now 20. The baby's dad and I were just friends with benefits. I was two days late but didn't think much of it as I'm often up to a week late. However my roommate asked if we could have a wine night and I just got this really strong feeling that I should take a test. I took one test expecting a negative, but instead got a positive, I freaked out, showed my roommate and took another test. Once both showed that they were positive I marched my butt to the guys house and slammed the picture I took of the test down on the counter. He didn't believe me at first and went and bought another test (which was positive). I got really emotional as I knew I was keeping the baby, but I didn't know how the father would react. He's 42 with no kids and I wasn't sure if he even wanted kids. He told me no matter what he 100% supports any decision I would make. I told him I was keeping it no questions asked and he said ok, do you want me involved or would you just like financial support? I chose to have him involved. We now live together and are incredibly happy. I could not ask for a better support or a better father for my child.

21 here. We tried for baby! Our first child. My first ever pregnancy. The day we decided we wanted a baby and tried was so special and amazing. I cried afterwards. And we held each other. It was blissful.  We've been together 5 years. He's an amazing man. Pregnancy tests confirmed I was pregnant! Very bold lines 😁 I was jumping around in the bathroom like a freak he shed some tears and then I cried too. Covered my entire face in kisses. And we just savoured the moment! Few days later we surprised our families with the news! First time grandparents. Lots of excitement that day!!! And lots of tears and hugs and kisses! Everyone was so thrilled. Truly blessed to be surrounded by so much love. At the first appointment we got a shocker. I wasn't a few weeks along I was 2 months 😂 our try wasn't even the baby maker! 😄 Talk about laughing til you pee. We both lost it!!! It was too funny!!! So we shared that news and everyone LOVED it 😁😂 and since then Trevor has been nothing short of supportive and loving. I'm 21 weeks along right now. And hes already trying to tie my shoes for me. Step up and cook a lot! (He cooked the 2nd half of the 1st trimester I was so nauseous) and he Pampers me. Like I feel like I'm bragging but this man is truly my soulmate. Hes so sweet hearted and loving. Idk what id do without him. Love him to pieces. We decided since this is our 1st wed keep the gender a surprise. So now we anxiously wait for September 26th 😁 so excited to see whats in store for us ! A sweet little boy or a beautiful little girl🎉🎉🎉💖 I cant wait 😁😍😋
