Q: the Results Are In...
asked by: Pure_love on August 23rd, 2006

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...

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).
