Just found out i'm pregnant....Again.

Hi, I'm Brandy and I'm already the mother of three, two boys ages 6 and 2 and a girl who passed away at two weeks plus I am the stepmom to a 10 year old girl who lives with us. I had been feeling funny lately and my period hadn't started yet so I decided to take a pregnancy test even though my husband and I have benn very very careful, Imagine my surprise when the test came back positive. Here is the thing, I'm in school, I work overnights while my husband works days and we are planning to move to a different state in aprile or may of next year. We wern't trying for a baby or even wanting one yet. While we did want one more eventually right now was not exactly it. So my emotions are torn, yes I wanted another but this is a bad time plus I am afraid my family will be mad since I am renting from my mom and I don't know when to tell them or when to tell my bosses because I physically can't do the job I'm doing much longer without provisions made so I have to see if they will transfer me to a area that has less heavy lifting. I am thinking I should wait until I have a test done by a doctor just to be sure since a couple weeks ago I took a test and it was negative.

Thanks Joy2611, I'll have to do that. I used the equate one that walmart sells.

Do another HPT. They are extremely accurate. My doctors office won't even test for pregnancies anymore since HPTs are so accurate.

Thank you ladies. The pregnancy test I bought had two so I went ahead and took it just to be sure and I hate waste. It stated positive again. I have been having normal symptoms ( nausea, peeing more often, some breast tingling and heaviness, mild cramping) So chances are the test are right but when I get paid I'm buying the red dye ones just to be certain. Now if I am pregnant I need to start planning everything. Does anyone know if it is safe to move cross country during pregnancy?

I'm not sure why it would be unsafe, everyone just kept telling me if I got pregnant I couldn't move.

You can move. I just did and you just need to be careful about what you carry and lift, otherwise it's perfectly fine.

I moved from Missouri to Camp Lejeune North Carolina at 35 weeks pregnant. What was supposed to be an 18 hour drive took us 34 hours because my German Shepherd and I had to pee every two hours and the tarp on the trailer kept coming off. You can do it  

Just try to relax, take one thing at a time, and remember that you have months to work on each challenge.

Thank you ladies. I really appreciate you answering my concerns and listening to me. Now that the shock is over I am actually starting to get excited about this baby. Yeah things will be hard but I think we can do it.
