I posted a few days ago and told you all
that my period was late and I was worried
that I might be pregnant (unplanned
pregnancy). Well, monday at 3:30am I
took a pregnancy test and it came back
positive. I felt like I was dreaming and
I couldn't wake up. I went up stairs and
woke my husband up and asked him to come
down stairs with me. I sat down in the
middle of our living room floor in the
dark and just started crying harder than I
ever have before. I told my husband to
go into the bathroom and look on the back
of the toilet (where the positive test
was). After seeing the test he came into
the living room and held me for a long
time telling me that it was alright and we
would be fine. After I calmed down, he
read the entire pregnancy test
instructions and warnings. One of the
things it said was that if you have
ovarian cysts (which I do have) that the
results could be wrong. So, freaking out
even more because of the confusion... We
went out to wal-mart at 4:00am and bought
another test... A different brand. I
took that test a few hours later and it
didn't take 10 seconds for it to show
positive (just as quickly as the first).
We went to the doctor yesterday afternoon
and he comfirmed the pregnancy and wrote
me a subscription for prenatal vitamins.
So, i'm pregnant... And i'm due on april
18th 2007. I still (my husband and I
both) very scared and worried because
truth be told... We aren't ready for
another child. But, I believe that god
never gives you more than you can handle.
I just keep reminding myself of the
positive things. Like, my son and the
new baby will be close in age resulting in
a close bond (hopefully), my husband
graduates nursing school in may and the
baby is due in april so he will be
starting work soon after the baby is born,
things like that. I just hope and pray
that all goes well and we will get through
this thing. I just wanted to update you
all... Thanks again for the opinions and
advice:o)

You never said how old your son is. My
sister's kids were all born within 2 1/2
years. Her house is always full of
children laughing and playing!

Thank you all so much! This is a great
forum... Very supportive! Oh, and ingi,
my son is 13 months... So they children
will be just about 2 years apart. My
mother in law is always on my husband and
I about having another child soon so that
the two of them can be close in age. I'm
sure that in a few months the excitment
will kick in! For now, it's all
headaches, feeling sick, worry, and peeing
every thrity minutes! Thank again guys..
And I will keep you all posted on the
pregnancy...

thanks melissa! Do you have any children?
My son ryley, is already walking well and
he has a little glow worm that he carries
around and calls "baby"... It's so
cute... I know he'll love the new baby.
Ryley has alot of growing to do in nine
months anyways and he'll know even more by
then! Thanks again!

see that is what gets me... I don't
understand why someone who is trying to
get pregnant can't (or hasn't yet) but
someone like me who didn't want to get
pregnant... Gets pregnant no problem!
It's just not fair! Lol! I really hope
that you are pregnant melissa... I'll
say a prayer for you! How long have you
been trying... If you don't mind my
asking?? Yeah... I want a girl too..
But only because we already have a boy. I
really don't want anymore after this one.
In the state of va you have to have
atleast three kids or be 21 or over to get
your tubes tide. I'll be 21 three months
after this baby is born... So i'm
thinking seriously about getting my tubes
tide...

it is an easier surgery if your husband
gets 'fixed'. Easier recovery. Easier on
the pocketbook, etc. Rules regarding when
and how you can become sterilized are
hideously outdated and ignorant. As if
you don't know your own mind! Speak to
your doctor about it. They can do it
without that 'rule'. My best friend got
her tubes tied after finding a doctor who
would do it. Just took a few tries to
find one who would do it. ;) it isn't an
actual 'law' but it can be doctor policy
(might be different in va, but I don't
think they can control your fertility in
that way).
