About three months after our wedding, I started getting pains in my left side near my ovaries. I went to the doctor and she said that it could possibly be a cyst so she scheduled me for an ultrasound. Day of the ultrasound came and I went and as I lay there with the tech, he asks me if there is a possibility that I could be pregnant. I told him I guess so seeing as I am married now but I had been told my whole life that I couldn't get pregnant due to some serious female issues that I have, so I told him that I didn't think I was. So he turns to me and tells me that I am. I thought he was joking so I laughed and asked him if he was serious. He said he didn't joke about things like that and I asked him again "Are you kidding me?" So he turns the monitor toward me I lay there looking at an 11 week old, beautiful gift from God. So of course I am crying and scared and wishing I had asked my husband to come with me to my doctor appointment. So we get done with the exam of my so-called cyst (what a great cyst he is! lol) and I call my husband and ask him to meet with me (he was working). He got scared and thought it was cancer or something but I didn't want to tell him over the phone. So my poor husband started crying even before I told him he was so scared it was something bad! I show him the ultrasound and I had really never seen someone in shock till then!!! It was just crazy because that was honestly never a thought that crossed our minds that we could be pregnant! So we were almost done with the first trimester before we found out. My sister was the first to know ONLY because I didn't want to tell my husband over the phone but I had to tell someone so I called my mom first but she wasn't home and then I called my sister crying and told her. My son is now 13 months old and one of the best things that has happend to us.

i found out 3 days after we celebrated our 1st wedding anniversary. we have been trying for months already but always got a negative prenancy test result. anyway, i was down with colds the previous days but didn't want to take any cold medicine since i was already delayed in my period. having pcos and after several failed tests, i was so convinced that i wasn't pregnant but still took a home prenancy test just so i can have peace of mind before i take any cold medicine. to my surprise, 2 pink lines appeared! i was so excited that i rushed to my husband to tell him the news! he jumped in excitement. and then we hugged. i will never forget that moment! :)

The first time I didn't believe it but my period was 3 days late and I looked at a Krispy Kreme and wanted to throw up. I took a test when I got home from work that day. I started crying I was so happy. I called my husband at work to tell him even though hes not suppose to have personal calls unless its an emergency. I couldn't wait that long. I took another one the next morning just in case. I called my mom at 5:30am lol she was excited once I told her. It was planned. This one was not planned. I was getting pains when I stood up too fast and told my husband I think I'm pregnant. He thought I was going crazy. I went to the store and got a pregnancy test. I was pregnant for sure and I started crying lol but not b/c I was happy b/c I was pregnant again sooner then I wanted to be. Things happen for a reason and I got over it and can't wait to welcome this baby. oh and my mom was the first to know for this one also.

i found out i was pregnant after my 19th birthday. my boyfriend and i bought a pregnancy test and checked the day after my birthday party. it's wasn't planned, so we hid it from our family. we said we woiuld tell them after christmas, then it turned after new year. but we were sa scared so we planned that i would go to the US and before i went back to our place he would tell his family and i would tell mine. a week before i went back to our country we told our family. they were mad and furious but they cou;dn't do anything. it was already there and i was 5 months pregnant then. my boyfriend and i still went to school eventhough i was pregnant. everything was doing well. our child is now 1 year and 8 months.and he's the love of our lives.
