So how you doin'?

post #1 of 12
Thread Starter 
Has it sunk in yet? What was your reaction? How did you tell your SO? Have you told anyone else yet? How are you feeling?

It hasn't entirely sunk in here. I really thought that DS would be my only, his dad got snipped when DS was 1 year old, and we separated when DS was 2 and divorced. I was single for years and any guy I met was ultimately looking for just s-e-x and that's not the kind of man I wanted. After knowing my friends' roommate for three years, we admitted we were interested in each other and that was that! We got married a year after we declared our interest and 9 months later I'm pregnant with #2.

My reaction was extreme happiness, I never in a million years expected success as quickly as we got it!

I left my BFP on the sink for DH to discover when he got up for work (I woke early to use the bathroom --the third time that week-- and felt nauseous and still had a high temp. Led me to test). He came out after he got ready for work, kissed me, and asked if it meant what he thought it meant. I told him it did and he just couldn't stop beaming.

I've told pretty much everyone except my son (he'd be crushed if I m/c and would have a really hard time getting over it), and my dad and brother, who I'm not close to at all. I was really guarded announcing pregnancy #1, only my BFF knew before 13 weeks, I'm already a more relaxed second-timer.

I'm feeling OK. I felt really nauseous earlier in the week making me seriously suspect I was pg, when I got a BFN I wasn't even especially disappointed, just figured it was too early. I had an incident riding my bike last Sunday where I had to stop on a particularly strenuous hill because I felt ill, and another swinging at a playground with DS on Wednesday. Right now my breasts are just sore and tender. Not looking forward to the next round of nausea at all!

I woke up with some spotting and got scared, but peed on another stick and saw a line so dark that even DH could see it Then reassured myself that spotting in early pregnancy is totally normal.......and injected myself like a good girl.

I'm not nauseaous...yet....but am totally wiped out tired. I think the progestrone I'm taking is ampliphying symptoms.

I'm totally thrilled, DH is whatever (he's been really sick this week).

The kids are super excited!!!

I'm wicked wicked tired, and I have heartburn. Seriously? Heartburn? I hope it's unrelated, because I was miserable with heartburn the last several weeks of my last pregnancy.

Did I mention tired? Oh, and sore boobs. And tired.

DH doesn't believe the test yet (conviced it's an evap line) but I'll show him some new tests in a few days and he'll be thrilled.

You O'd the day after me so you're due 1/6

we're going to have a due date cluster in here, lol.

I decided to test early at 10DPO as I had a "feeling" it would be positive. The second line came up really quickly and there was no doubt it was positive. I woke my DP up and asked her if she was interested in knowing that I was pregnant again (I had 2 m/c last year). We are both very happy

I told one friend that is in on the ups and downs of our journey but that's it. I think we'll wait for awhile to tell anyone else. I'm heading to my GP on Monday for a beta hcg and progesterone blood test. And officially AF isn't even late yet

I have some mild nausea on/off, sore boobs and mild cramping on/off. Sometimes the cramping totally feels like AF is going to start which is a bit unnerving!!

This is my first post her on MCD... and no it hasn't sunk in yet.

DH and I had a condom break 12 days ago, and 12 days ago I ovulated according to FF (13 days ago according to my ladycomp). I'd been using FF to keep track of my cycles but we were in no way planning on this. I broke down this morning and tested at 12 DPO, had planed on waiting until 14DPO, and here I am, pregnant and due on 1/5/09!

We're both excited and overwhelmed. I'd been convinced I wasn't pregnant because I felt fine - no symptoms and my temps kept on fluctuating post-o. DH on the other hand was convinced I was for some reason, and he was right! He says he'll never let me live it down. I have NO symptoms, none, nada. I had some cramping 6 DPO, but I figured it was my imagination - guess it was really implantation.

We're both students, newly married (the baby is due 5 days after our 1st anniversary), and far from any family support. It really isn't ideal right now, but we both feel it must have been meant to be, ykwim?

I've told one good friend who knew about the broken condom. Other than that we're planning on waiting until about 10 weeks, in case this one doesn't stick. Well that WAS the plan, and DH wants to stick to it, but I really really want to talk to some people- It's a bit overwhelming... we'll see how the next few weeks pan out.

Congrats all around, mamas!

Bubblette, wow! I had a big surprise with my #1 and exh and I were pretty hush-hush 'til 13 weeks. It's a tough secret to hang onto, good luck with that!

My dh has been bugging me to get preg like a couple of months ago and I wanted to wait until next winter. So he is super excited and was the one that got to see the stick first. He had a giant smile on his face!!

I am still in a little shock. We just found out yesterday and we were not trying. We don't *plan* to tell family until I start to show but that won't take long I tend to pop out fast. I might tell my sister and maybe a couple of friends cause I am just dying to tell someone!!

How's everyone feeling?

I took another test this morning, and even DH sees the line now!

Still got the sore boobs here, occasional heartburn and maybe a little constipation? TMI, sorry. I had all these the first time, I kind of can't believe that I'm noticing them already. I'm on hyperalert, of course, and know what to expect this time around, but still.

Is it weird that I want to keep testing? AF wasn't due until Thursday or Friday. I don't think it'll really feel *real* until after then.

I am actually feeling really good!! My boobs don't hurt at all this time like they did with the last two but I am still nursing the youngest that might have something to do with it. That is kinda what makes it shocking is that I don't have the sore boobs and am not feeling super tired yet so I feel the same.

I tested the second time yesterday with a digital because I like seeing the "pregnant"

AF is due tomorrow or Wednesday for me and I think it will feel more "real" after that for sure!

I'm off to my GP today for a beta hcg and prog. test. F/X everything looks ok!

I have my first symptom! I think. I'm having these weird sensations low in my abdomen, no cramping or anything (thank you!) but just these weird warm/tugging? sensations for about 5 minutes a few times a day. Is that a symptom?? or am I just imagining something so I can think I'm having some pregnancy signs?????

We're starting to get really excited:! I'm still not looking forward to telling school today... which I have to do because some of my requirements may have to be modified. It seems quite strange to be telling school officials before our families, but I am NOT going to do anything to jeopardize this little bub!!
