Surprise BFP

atok

Good evening! I had a feeling all day today that something was going on with my body. I came home from work and took two preg tests, one being a digital.....both were positive.

This was not planned, and not what I had in mind.

We are 25, established careers, just built a new house and were planning on waiting 2 or so more years.

Well...Here I am. I am scared and have no idea what to do. I do not want to tell my family or anyone so here I sit scared to death.

Sorry for the rambling. Hopefully I can process this soon.

Looks like I am 3w 6 days Due Oct 11.

We have used NFP for 4 years....

In a lot of ways I understand how you feel. While DD was planned, DH and I hadn't yet decided if we wanted to TTC #2--ever! I also got a surprise BFP last week and it's been a roller coaster of emotions since. I think you have to let yourself go through those emotions before you will can be truly excited about it, but you will get there. It may not have happened along the plan you had set out, but it will work out. Sometimes the best things in life are unexpected!

I didn't think I would ever be "ready" to have a baby.  I'm 27 and my husband I said this was the right time in our lives (he was more ready than me since he's 30).  I got pregnant on the first try never thinking that would really happen and when I found out on Sunday, it was a roller coaster of emotions!!!  It's taken me 3 whole days to sink in and realize this is happening.  It's also scary for me b/c I don't care for other peoples kids!  I know I will love my own though!  Everything works out for a reason!!

Don't worry, you're not alone.  I am 30 and still feel like I'm not totally ready for the baby!  But it sounds like you are in a great place financially and professionally, and you'll get there emotionally too.  Welcome to the board!

Welcome to the board!  As other have said, we're all a little uncertain with this process, but it certainly sounds like you are grounded and well on your way to becoming a great mom!
