MILESTONE - Finding out you are pregnant

Ladies,
I know for some of us this might have been a while ago but - Tell us about finding out you were expecting? How did you tell your SO that you were pregnant?  How did they react?

  • @RookieAlert that is so cool about your MILs dream.  My mom had a dream around the time I got pregnant with my first but just thought it was a strange dream.  I keep waiting to hear if she's had any dreams about something similar this time.  So far nothing.  Have you told your MIL yet or are you waiting?
  • @mrspants0809 We told her :) She was so proud of herself lol, the hard part though is how badly she wants to share the news that she was “right” with the rest of the family but we made her promise not to share our news yet!
  • @jbal918 Our stories are similar! We tried for over a year with our first with clomid, Femara, and had just met with a Reproductive specialist when we got pregnancy naturally. So with this one we started trying thinking it would take at least a year...nope! First try did it

  • With our first child, it took one try to get pregnant. This time it took 6 months (not bad but seeing negatives always sucks.) So during the month we got pregnant I took one of my ovulation tests but I took it only when I usually have my highest ovulation day... it didn’t not say I was ovulating. So I just assumed I must not have ovulated this month (my periods are still trying to get back on track from breastfeeding, I also had just gotten over my very little bit of postpartum depression) so I figured I probably wouldn’t get pregnant that month or that I had ovulated early and missed the highest day. I test early no matter what even if I think I’m not. So I decided to test at what us us all would have been 7 or 8 DPO and got the faintest postive on a wondfo. I showed my BMB feb ‘19 and my older sister (who is due in November). They all saw a faint line, DH was not convinced. I had work the next day and decided I would go pick up a FRER from target pick up. I brought it to work and just like that the line was darker and my DH could definitely see that one! I also took an electronic one bc I am a crazy lady and need to know for sure and it said pregnant. It took DH about a week to believe it. My appointment is tomorrow and I think it will make it even more real for both of us! I’m excited to see what they say my due date is based off the size and all the information I give them. 
  • We had been trying to get pregnant for nine months and decided this month to NTNP.  We just bought a house and were moving.  Add in this quaratine stuff and getting temporarily laid off from my job.  I just couldn't handle another thing and was feeling pretty pessimistic about the whole thing.  Well I was just so tired all the time, but thought it was from unpacking.  I tested on a Friday afternoon and got a negative (not the best test sample).  I thought we were out with some spotting, but when AF didn't show up three days later, I retested.  I had to wait two hours for my husband to wake up.  Eventually I just woke him up with some little baby socks all wrapped up.  Thought he might want some time to process it before jumping on his morning meeting.  
  • We were just ready to start trying when this whole Covid thing started. We decided to NTNP for the time being. On one hand, I am 39, and we really wanted one more child (we have 3 now) before the window closed. But on the other hand, a pandemic and all that uncertainty... lo and behold I got ku right away! I think my husband was even happier than I was! We are both over the moon, but I’m still nervous about the idea of having to possibly homeschool a kindergartener and a first grader with a 2 1/2 year old and a newborn!
