Congrats
i hope everything works out!

Congrats!!

I was really happy when I first found out and then when it set in I was more shcoked and scared about the future!!!! I am feeling a little better now but I know how you feel!! It is a really overwhelming idea that you're going to be a mother!!! If you want some one to talk to ... I'm here.

Congrats!

Yeah, its all pretty overwhelming when you're in the "omg phase" where you just really found out for sure and its just starting to sink in. At least thats how it was with me. I mean I pretty much thought maybe I was pregnant and that changed to where I pretty much knew I was probably pregnant, but I still wasn't ready for how it hit me when I took my first and it came up pos. All of a sudden there was a million questions, and even though i'd thought about them before it was different knowing now I really had to deal with it all.

I just wish I would've known about this board back then cuz I think it would've helped a lot just to hear how other girls got thru the same thing as me. This is a great place.

It'll be ok. Good luck!

Hey young n,
congrats on your pregnancy! I hope you have a wonderful 9 months!
How early did you test? Cuz imma bout to loose my mind, my period ain't due for another 3-6 days...

i tested 4 days after my missed period but with certain tests u can test as early as 5 days before ur missed period...Like I used first response....Im sure there are others too...Good luck aniyah

i tested before my period was due just cause people kept telling me I was preggers (i was throwing up a lot) and I had to go to the dentist. So I tested to be on the safe side (x-rays very bad when u preggers and to my shock it was positive. It wasn't even a really expensive test 7$ cdn. And me and hubby had pretty much given up since we had been having unprotected sex for 3 years and nothing.

Youngn-congrats, if it is what you want! I too went through the scared stage and was nervous about telling my mom (i don't know why since i'm 25 and have a good paying job and great bf) I think it's just the emotional shock of it all! This is a great place to come and talk to people!

By the way how old are you???

Thanks for the responses ladies! :d

Thanks for all of the congrats :) my last period began on dec. 9th '04 and I tested positive on january 3rd/4th.
This pregnancy was not planned and I really don't know how to feel about all of this right now...I'm just very scared and nervous...
How did u all tell your parents, family, father of the baby, etc?

Lil_blaze2004: I am 19 by tha way and my bf is 28

same age my girlfriend and her ex (she's married now) were when she had her first! As I am older I had a pretty easy time telling my bf and fam. My poor bf was at the dentist when I told him and he wanted to come home right away and I was like" no stay, get your teeth cleaned--lol"

my mom lives on the other side of the country for me so it wasn't as fun telling her since I would have loved to have seen her face to face. But luckily she's coming down for one month!!!!

I remember when I got preggers at 16 and 19 (i miscarried both times) I was terrified of telling my mom but at 16 I had to get my appendix taken out and I had to tell her. At 19, she guessed and tricked me into telling her!!! She was pis.Sed off at first (more cause of the guys I was withthan anything) anyway good luck with the telling. I'm sure everything will be fine!!!

Telling my bf was easier than I figured itd be cuz he could tell something was up when my period was late after we'd had unprotected sex labor day weekend. We usually used a condom but we went to the beach that weekend and ran out. :lol: so when my period didn't come and I started to worry maybe I was pregnant he knew it too. When I took the first test (i took two, and both were pos) we went to the drug store together and I took it at his house with him there. So he saw the test results the same time I did and I didn't have to tell him. I think we both convinced ourselves it'd be neg and we could just go "whew", but instead it was pos and we just sorta looked at each other like "uh-oh" and "omg". I started to cry and he just held me and said he loved me - which made me cry even more. :lol:

i took me a week or so to tell my mom and by then she suspected something was up cuz I was always tired and nauseous and peeing all the time. She finally asked me one afternoon if there was something I needed to tell her and I told her I was pretty sure I was pregnant. She said "if you're joking i'm not laughing." I told her I wasn't joking then went in my room crying. She came in and said she loved me no matter what and itd be ok. I told her I was scared to tell dad, and she said she'd tell him. She told him that night and I could hear some fireworks. Then they both came in and said basically the same thing mom said earlier.

The weird part was telling my bf's parents. Jeff and I were over there and he got up his nerve and just up and said "kris and I are going to have a baby." I was like omg and his parents were struck dumb. I figured they'd look at me like a promiscuous person or something but instead they looked at him and said "how could you do that to her??" :lol:

the thing is even though everyone was disappointed (including me at first) theyve all been really supportive, and I have to admit it all really surprised me.

Good luck!

Dont freak out gurl.. Take everything slow and it will be ok!! :wink: and congrats future mommy!!!!

Thanks gurls!

This sux b/c I just know everyone is gonna freak out...For multiple reasons:
1.Because i'm only 19 and a full time college student
2.Because i'm white and my bf is black
3.Because of the age difference between my boyfriend and i

...*sigh* I guess I really did it this time...I'm the queen of dissapointment and failure to my family I guess :( it seems like everything ends up so perfect for everyone else in my family and I am always the one messing things up (or so it seems)

...And I have no idea how my bf is going to react...We haven't even been together that long (only bout 6 months) and our relationship has already had things come up that makes things rocky between us.

My only symptoms as of now are: sore boobs, being very tired, being hungry all the time, very moody, and emotional

now that the pregnancy test confirms thats whats going on with me I don't know what to think...I hope things come together and work out...I don't know how you girls (how are pregnant/have babies) have gotten through all of this

Youngn don't be so hard on yourself. I know right now all you can probaly see are problems but you might be surprised how supportive the people who love you will be. Sure, they'll be upset at first, that's just how it is. But remember, this is also your parents grandbaby, and whether or not they think they're ready for it or you're ready for it, fact is they'll probably come around and be the most excited people about it.

People say a baby changes everything and I know they're right even though I haven't had my baby yet. We usually think how its going to change our lives being expectant moms and moms. But I think lots of times we overlook the fact that it also changes the way the people who love us look at each other.

Fact is no matter what you think your parents are going to think about your bf he's the guy their daughter loves and the guy who loves their daughter and is going to be the father of their grandbaby. I think once they see it that way they ouhgtta see him different too.

Good luck!

Krista kai: thanks so much for your reply :) you actually made me feel better and put a smile on my face (something that hasnt happened all day long) thank u :d

Youre welcome youngn! I'm glad it helped.

Thats what boards like this are for. :)

Young'n, you are going to have a beautifull child. (who's hair you can do all sorts of neat things with-lol) I realize that inthe states the black/white thing is a little more intense than up here (canada) i'm sure everyone will love him/her no matter what. Do your parents know and like your boyfriend??

Here at our karate studio in georgia we have .A .L.O.T of children that are mixed, and omg they are all so beautiful. Lol they always have the perfect tan..Lol :lol: but I can't even count how many mixed families are at our studio. I've never seen so many b4, but all of them are so dang cute!!!!!

At our studio so far i've seen black/white and black/mexican they are just precious and have the coolest hair too!

Good luck with everything and if you ever need someone to talk to i'm here

christina

Congrats I hope everything goes good
