my daughter is 2 gettn ready to turn 3 now but i still think of my first response when i found out i was pregnant with her. If u like i would like to know other mothers out there and fathers what was ur first response when u found out u had a baby on the way. were u more nervous or excited a little bit of both? I know i was more nervous than anything because i knew i would be a good parent i had nine months plus 18 years added on to that to learn how ya know. pls share your experiences

After my doctor told me that i was pregnant, i can´t believe it at first. I was happy and scared at the same time. I was happy to know that i am going to be a mother and there is another heartbeat inside me. Scared for i dont know how to tell my husband about it (i was on pills and never missed one) I went out of the doctor´s office walking home and felt like i was floating.
I just entered the house door when my mobile rang and saw that it was my husband. He ask " so how´s it it going ? " then i said "well i guess it would be best if we talk later once you are home, you will not like what i have to say ". but my husband insisted " come on honey , try me . .....then ....i started crying like a baby and i was almost whispering when i said " i am pregnant". My husband was delighted which was the exact opposite of what i was expecting . He wanted to come home soon and he told me that everythig gonna be okay--after i heard him say those words, i was able to sleep right after my back hit the couch .
I could write a book about my first pregnancy but at the moment , it is already a luxury for me to sit infront of my coumputer . My 2 year old daughter Stella, knows how to make you wish that you have 28 hours a day instead of 24 !
Happy reading everybody!

yeah my daughter now 2 makes me wish the same thing. when i told her father he broke out in a cold sweat and it was in the fall season so it was not that hot outside. i always wonder why do men react so much different then women when they find out that there going to have a baby? is it jus a shock that they have created something or what? i've never understood that.

Wow I cant believe it, it feels just like yesterday. I found out I was pregnant in May of 2001. Being that I was still in high school, it was one of the scariest situations I have ever been in. I cried to my mom and then we cried together. I told my sons father and he was happy. I was also happy after the shock wore off. I couldnt believe I had a human being growing inside me and I was going to love and protect this baby with all my heart. My son was born 6 months later. At 2lbs 15 1/2oz. Needless to say 6 years and 2 kids later. Him and his brothers are the greatest joys in my life.

yeah i was shocked at first i passed out at the doctors office then when i told my mom she was in shock too and so was her husband, my dad was shocked but he didnt flip out like my mothers husband did now 2 almost 3 years later my mothers husband is wanting her to call him pop pop i dont like that but i cant really stop it at this point because shes young but yeah after all this time things have cooled down . i definately would be nervous all over again if i got pregnant a second time because i know that this child would be the complete opposite of my daughter whose prissy and in her own world. i'm working on that too because i dont want her to grow up thinkin she is miss all that. you know how some parents raise some girls these days. i've noticed from friends with little girls

I was both excited and also worried. As I already had an abortion I was much worried. But when the doctor assured me that I wont have any problem in this pregnancy, I was so happy and excited. It was like becoming a full woman from a mere woman. I felt as if I have acheived something.

i am married for five years now and we have a two year old son. before we got married we lived in for four years so that would be nine years in all. she got a lot of miscarriages that made us really sad, specially my wife. of course i am so happy when she told me she was pregnant but in every miscarriage our hearts broke. so when the last time she told me she was pregnant we are happy of course but we took it slowly and surely. i was most happy when my wife was 7 months pregnant and the doctor told us we had a son. from then on i was sure it was a success.

I think everybody experiences both nervous and excited. With me, it wasn't so much when I first found out, but further along when I though of how much of a change we were going to have to make. I also think it isn't just with your first. I think sometimes people are more nervous for there second and maybe third! I do believe that everything happens for a reason and a child is the most precious gift anyone could receive.
