Do you remember when you found out you were pregnant?

Do you remember the time and place when you found out that you were pregnant with your children? This is something that will always stick in my mind and im curious to know if it does for others too. I found out at 6.30am when i was getting ready to go to work, i took a test on impulse convinced it would be negative as i had been unsucessfully trying for almost 2 years and i popped it into my dressing gown pocket whilst i continued to do my hair and makeup and i pulled it out casually to check it and it was positive. I ran into the bedroom and threw it at my partner and it hit him on the head

With my first I knew I was but I was too scared to take the test. In the end my friend bought me a test while we was at work, I took it at 7.30pm and was too afraid to look at it until 8.30pm. I was scared because I wanted a baby so bad and I thought that it was never going to happen. With my second even though we was using contreception again I knew I was pregnant but it needed confirming by something that wasnt my body, I took the test in my bathroom at 10.30am then saw it was positive and went to get it checked at the pharmacy and thent he doctors. I just couldnt beleive it! With both of my children I was only 2 weeks gone when I found out so had to keep it to ourselves for 2 and a half months which was the hardest part!

Oh, of course! I don't think I could ever, ever forget finding out with my first baby. My boyfriend and I were living together at the time and I was on the birth control pill. I went in or my yearly check-up and to get my pills renewed. My doctor's office gives a pregnancy test as standard procedure and came back to tell me I was pregnant. Imagine my surprise to find out I was pregnant when going to renew my birth control pills! I went home and told my boyfriend... his first reaction was to tell me to stop kidding as he thought I was playing a joke on him. When he realized it wasn't a joke he asked me who the father was! We had been together for over two years at this point! It was the shock of the moment but I don't think I will ever forget it! We are now married and I just had a feeling that I was pregnant right before Halloween. I took a pregnancy test and it came back with a very faint, barely visible line on it. I ended up going to the doctor later that afternoon as we were going to a party that night and I was afraid to drink in case I was pregnant. It turns out, my feeling was right!

I mean the moment. with my baby girl, she was a total shock and suprise. i found out with her at work. my second day of my new job!!!

Hello polo princess It was 8 o'clock in the morning, after 4 days I'm late with my period, I took a test and the result is positive, I still didn't believe it, and try another test after 6 days, and got another test again after 14 days in the lab. But I lost my baby after 8 weeks pregnant, because the baby didn't growing well. I hope I will get pregnant soon. God bless all mommy .

I had endometriosis for most of my life and in my early thirties i finally had an operation. They stopped my periods for the procedure and they did not return after the operation! I thought it was menopause but it turns out there was a little person in there. So the day i found out, i had been on a cabbage soup crash diet and jogging twice a day but the kilos were not shifting! I sprained my pelvis from all this vigourous exercise so i had a eureka moment. Get a testing kit. I did and i didn't even wait for a second as it proceeded to change straight away. I went back to the pharmacy and bought another one and the same thing happened. It was the 9th of september 2008 and i was already 16 weeks pregnant!

Ya...I remember all 4 of them as if they were yesterday. My first...had been trying for about a year...got caught up in the holidays & one of my friends suggested it. I checked and sure enough...great xmas gift. My 2nd was a planned baby after suffering a miscarriage due to getting pregnant on the pill. I felt that I was and took a test...sure enough. My third was a product of expired birth control that I'd just bought...it happens! I was actually watching the space shuttle with a friend while waiting the results. Just as it crashed...I was reading my test. It was not a good time as I was trying to leave my husband at the time. It all happens for a reason. It was the most difficult pregnancy...she was born very early but is now 22 and struggles but doing well. My 4th....another birth control baby. At this point in my life, I was almost 40 and a single mom....not a good time to be having another child. I was not married to or living with the dad and no desire to. Gave it so much deep thought and decided to go with it. She is now 15 and no regrets on my choice.

I have two children and I remembered both times when I was pregnant. My first one, my mom is the one that told me I was pregnant lol before I even took a test. I kept telling myself I wasn't, because I wasn't having any symptoms but my mom was convinced, so she took me to the doctor to get tested and sure enough I was 8 weeks pregnant. I was uber excited because I have always wanted children. My second child, was pretty much the same way. I went to go visit my mom one day and she said I looked pregnant lol. I told her I doubt it since I haven't had any action in like 2 months, but she kept pressing it on me and finally I went to the doctor to shut her up and sure enough I was 10 weeks pregnant lol.
