One year ago...

Schell2013 · September 2013

One year ago I finally peed on three sticks and found out I was pregnant. She was the size of a poppyseed. I can still remember how excited I was! And to think she is now a thriving 4.5 month old and weighs almost 15 pounds. I just found that crazy to think that she was a poppyseed a year ago and now she is 15 pounds.

Anyone else have any sweet memories of a year ago!? To think how much has changed in a year.

Yes! I found out on the 28th. I peed on a test strip that one of my friends passed along (she gave me a bunch of those with some ovulation test strips). I was so shocked and excited. I drove to CVS and bought an EPT test. I took it at work. Then I swore a coworker to secrecy and made her take my picture. I waited all day to tell hubs.

I was enjoying my secret and having a hard time keeping it. I was looking forward to my birthday and excited beyond belief but also scared of losing her. I was on this board and the Bump in general obsessively.

One year ago I was almost 6 weeks pregnant and still feeling good! Little did I know that the day I turned 7 weeks, I would throw up for the first time and thus start the puke-fest that lasted the whole 9 months! <:-P

I was also enjoying keeping our secret, which in those early days was easier. Once I started getting sick, it was sooooo hard not to tell people why. We didn't announce till thanksgiving.

September 22nd it was for me...we had tried since June & every time my period came I'd cry...when I had the implantation bleeding I thought it was that again so I was sad...then it never got any heavier. That's when I noticed my boobs had been hurting all week (as opposed to 1-2 days like normal) & I was anxious for the morning to come to test. Sure enough, at 3 am I was peeing on a stick & before I could finish washing my hands--TWO PINK lines!! My life changed forever! I was lucky enough to have a pleasant pregnancy

Did you have to get up at 3 am or could you not sleep any longer?

I remember it just like it was yesterday. DH and I were talking about it last night. I had found out on September 15th. After having a conversation with a co-worker about how her friend thought she was getting her period but had a gut feeling and POAS and found out she was pregnant, I was having the same symptoms and decided to give it a whirl. I pee'd on 3 sticks and literally remembered flying from the bathroom to the dining room jumping for joy. My husband was on a work call and couldn't contain his excitement! I wanted this pregnancy so bad and we spent our summer in Europe hoping to work on making this little bundle of joy and I guess it worked!!

We found out on the 15th. We had gotten pregnant and miscarried in July. We had taken it as a sign that it wasn't the best time and I decided to go back on BC. I was just waiting for my period to come back and it just never did. The previous weekend we were at the in laws and got really sick after eating at a restaurant and DH thought maybe I was preggers and to take a test and it was negative.

A week goes by and we were about to celebrate my birthday and I still didn't feel right and I didn't want to indulge if I could possibly be pregnant so I took another test. There were two lines. I walked out of the bathroom and told my hubby he was drinking alone. Best birthday present I could have imagined. Then I threw up every single day until valentines day

I miscarried in June and found out I was pregnant again on the 15th also!

stanol · September 2013

I found out one year ago today. My husband and I were just talking about how he thought I was pregnant and I just thought I was getting sick. Crazy how much has changed over the past year.

I'm so sorry you had to go through that too but glad you can celebrate your LO. I'm so happy that he came when he did and I can't imagine life without him!

A year ago I got the shock of my life. You know it's bad when you realize your AF is late based upon your teenage daughter's cycle. Even though it seemed redicoulous at 42 (and we literally had only DTD one time all month since DH and I were apart most of the month) I bought a generic pregnancy test, and hoped the cashier wouldn't laugh at me. Within seconds of the pee touching the stick, it was positive. I cried and cried at the time. Now, I can't imagine my life without this new LO.

MOMama987 · September 2013

Is it bad I don't remember the date I got my BFP? I'm so bad about keeping track of this stuff. I'm pretty sure it was a Thursday night, though... how I remember THAT is beyond me! I knew a couple of weeks before my sister's wedding on 9/15... and told the family the weekend after, which would have been this past weekend. So crazy.

ILoveSnacks · September 2013

I got my BFP on 9/24. I had been tracking my cycle in my planner and that date has a big + on it. (It's a two-year planner spanning 2012 and 2013, which ended up being handy for the pregnancy!)

Kashy · September 2013

Yesterday was one year ago when we found out. It's amazing how that little pink line changed our lives forever!

Lolalipsy · September 2013

We were too nervous to tell anyone. I told my immediate family who kept it quiet. I wish we hadn't kept it quiet now as my BIL took his life in October without ever knowing he was an uncle. I know he would've been incredibly happy for us both.

MOMama987 · September 2013

I was asked point blank if I was pregnant... while I was at my sister's wedding, by my very drunk cousin. My other (equally tipsy) cousin said, "Becky - CLEARLY she isn't pregnant. She's DRINKING." It was cranberry juice. I had 'em all fooled.

Aw, I'm sorry. This makes me sad.

Angela183 · September 2013

We found out on our second anniversary (Sept 24). We were in Key West vacationing. I had taken a pregnancy test at the doctor's a few days prior and it was negative. I peed on the stick after much insistence from DH (he thought I was a little moody!) and sure enough it was positive. I was shaking so much!!!! Such a happy memory. I was starting to tell DD this story yesterday and got all choked up!

That is awful...I'm so sorry for your loss.

Thank you. It's been especially tough for MH.

That's very sad. I'm so sorry for you and your husband.

mamatohne · September 2013

I'm having a lot of those "one year ago's" lately! I found out on the 4th of September, and told my husband on his birthday on the 10th! I know i waited forever! (He was out of town for work so it was kinda easy!) I did tell my mother in law first, on the 9th, and I'm so glad to have had that moment with her! She died from brain cancer exactly one month later! It's SO crazy how different my life is from a year ago!

PumpkinAndThePeanut · September 2013

I got my BFP at the end of August but found out there were two babies at our 6 week u/s on 9/12. We were scared to death of miscarrying so only told my parents and sister at first, then told my H's family around 10 weeks. I didn't sleep at all the night before each u/s until second tri. And now I have two healthy, beautiful, wonderful daughters who turned five months old today. Amazing.

Thank you, I'm just so glad we got E when we did, I know that without her MH wouldn't be as together as he is. She's our little angel. MH says as sad as it is you have to focus on life!

I'm so sorry. That sucks.

I poas before DH and I went out for dinner for or anniversary, and it was a squinter. The next am, it was positive. I was only 3 weeks out from my mc. It was surreal. As soon as I lost Pumpkin, I was certain that I would get pregnant immediately, but I was so scared of another loss. This pg was such an emotional rollercoaster. Still is sometimes.

illogicaltuvok · September 2013

A year ago( don't remember exact date) I had taken a preg test on a Friday and had came out negative. Had drinks on Saturday at a pool party. During the week I got a yeast infection which I had never gotten except when I was last pregnant with DD1.
Went in on Thursday to OB and ask me some questions. Told her we were trying to get preggers, and didn't think I was. She gave me a script for bloodwork to see where I was in ovulation (PCOS) and meds for infection. Next morning decided to POAS because I wanted to make sure. Lo and be hold a positive. I ran to hubby's work to tell him.
We found out we were having twins, we ended up losing one but I kept talking to the other to hang in there and here I sit with my 5mo old girl.

smg2302 · September 2013

We had only been trying for a couple of weeks and my period was late. I had none of the obvious symptoms, but we were planning to go to a theme park that weekend, so I figured I would take a test just so I didn't do anything stupid. Thursday night I put the test on the counter to take as soon as I woke up in the morning. At 3am, I woke up to pee, and assumed it was already time to get up for the day. I woke DH up to read the test because I was so groggy. It was a BFP and we couldn't fall back asleep. The next 3 hours we kept repeating. Oh shit oh shit oh shit. I'm not sure what we were expecting, given we were trying, but the BFP was still a huge shocker.
