As much as I want kids, I'm a little scared. But I've got a couple early signs. Like the blood spots in my underwear for one, my boobs really hurt, and since roughly midnight I've been forcing myself not to barf. It's an odd sort of nausia too, because I don't recall the last time I was nausious when my stomach was empty.

I told my bf last night about my suspicion, and he wants to go see our family doctor today, but I wanted to give it another day or two.

Out of my childish fantasy that my parent's don't slaughter my bf, I can't help but hope a little that my period's gonna come.

Even though at this point, as I'm fighting back the urge to vomit, I really doubt my period's coming.

Haven't gone and bought a test yet, but call it my intuition.

My mom is going to be mad.

I feel oddly calm, I know my bf panicked last night, but he promised we'd still be together no matter what, pregnant or not. That I'm thankful for.




Edit: I took an HPT but it was negative. I'm doing another one in a week out of precaution.

I was just a little dissapointed that it was negative, but I can tell my bf is more relaxed now.

Well, when I found out I was pregnant, I had already had 3 periods, and was 3 months along. It was my mother that walked in and told me I was pregnant after over 7 days of being violently ill.

I was always told they would kick me out and kill my bf if I got pregnant, but now my bf (Fience) is now living with my parents and I. It was his mother that flipped and kicked him out (now blaming me completely)

I didn't think I was pregnant though, even through the morning (all day) sickness. My mothers-mother intuition hit before mine.

My breasts started to get sore before my periods before I got pregnant, so there is always the chance they are just growing.

I am glad you are calm, don't panic, if you are pregnant, panicing only hurts worse, trust me. I have panic attacks and they are worse while being pregnant.
Also try and keep your bf calm, I am glad he is willing to stay through it also, but don't let him flip to much.

I would suggest getting a pregnancy test ASAP. They are very accurate and useful.

After to take the store test, whether it is positive or not, call your doctor for an appointment. If you aren't pregnant you may was to get the spotting check, specially with combined nausea.

And remember to take care of yourself, as nervous as you may be, just think that if you are going to have a baby the sooner you get to the doctor the better, you will now be going for two and you need to remember to put the baby and yourself first now. (I was really having issues with this, but my family has supported me so much that I am getting much better!)

As for your mother being mad, I thought mine would be too. I got the lecture about how it happened,
(and yes I used condoms and spermicide) I had recently lost coverage for birth control, and gotten off it, so she also blamed that a little.

But she supported me and refuses to leave me behind or alone. She was angry I believe and is still a little unhappy, but now she thinks of it all as a good thing, like it was meant to be. She and my father have made this all possible for my fience and I.

Just be honest with her. It is easier if you don't hide it, specially if she figures it out before you O.o lolz

Being pregnant is scary, I was so scared even though I was in a very loving committed relationship and almost 20. But after we had told everyone I think I felt a lot better. Good luck and Congratulations if you are. heart

It is scary but it is also a blessing as well.... My prayers go out to you and just like Melz said it is important that you get to the doctor soon....

I wasn't ever scared until it was just about time for her to come out. THAT's intimidating. lol sweatdrop well... and when I finally told my mom.. ^^;;

If it's fairly frequent spotting, like Melz said, pregnant or not, I'd have that checked.

The tests are not always accurate, despite what the boxes say. They're wrong a higher percentage than they claim. And before I had even missed a period, my fiancé walked in and very assuredly told me that I was preggers. As it turns out, he was right, and he knew well before I even had the suspicions.. hehe

Don't worry about your mom. I freaked and I refused to tell her for the LONGEST time. (I mean I told her when I was maybe 8mo.... it took that long to work up the courage). Honestly, she was more upset that I waited so long. She was disappointed that I wasn't married first, and she was upset about who it was with (we'd been having issues...), but she's been thrilled overall. Her first grandchild, and now she'll be moving here next month so that she can see her more often heart Don't fret, though. Schedule and appt, take a test, and sit down calmly with you mom. Tell her that you'll want her help, if she's willing to give it. Let her know that you understand all these consequences that are approaching (should this be the case sweatdrop ). And the best of luck to you ^_^ heart

My mom's really gonna be mad though. She's been giving me lectures about how she had my oldest brothe when she was nineteen and how it kept her out of nursing school and blah blah blah. She doesn't listen to a lot of what I say, she's one of those parents who usually only hears what they want to hear.

I don't think she's ever even realized how much I want a baby...let alone how much I love my bf.

I think my bf and I will run out and get a test today, maybe tomorrow if I can't borrow a couple dollars off him. I don't have any money until tomorrow.

I was too afraid to go on birth control. I got freaked out by those horror-story medical sites...and I didn't like the thought of my male doctor doing a pap on me.

In a way that makes me feel super guilty. I should have gone on birth control a really long time ago, and I meant to, but I was just scared.

As for the spotting....this is the first time it's happened. That's why I got worried. Usually if there's any blood at all, there's a lot of it. Not only a drop or two.

Maybe once I know for sure though, I'll be completely calm. I'm still a little spooked. My nausia is really bad, I've been on the edge of throwing up last week's dinner all day....well, snce about midnight....

Don't worry honey. When I told my mother, I was shaking. I was deathly afraid of what she was going to say. But all I got was "I'm a little disappointed. This isn't how I wanted it to go for you..." And then we cried and hugged and blah. And then nick opened his mouth and inserted his foot! lol... DON'T HAVE HIM COME WITH YOU TO TELL YOUR MOM! And if you do, tell him to keep his mouth shut!

There are a lot of clinics that provide free pregnancy tests like Planned Parenthood ....
PostPosted: Mon Jun 11, 2007 3:41 pm


So it's definite.

I'm NOT pregnant.

My bf was so relieved. neutral and I'm happy he's not still stressing out. I really am.

But where's my relief?

I feel so horrible. I know I really did want a baby, and this would have been a fine chance to have one, even if my parents would have freaked right out.

I'm nearly an adult, they couldn't have made me give it up. But I'm not pregnant.

And I've been so bitter and angry. It hurts to know that it was just my stupid period playing tricks, and my stupid imune system only half bothering to keep away a cold. It hurts so much.

I got my hopes up, because it looked so possitive for a while. I really did think I was pregnant. But I'm not. crying

It's unfortunate to hear your not pregnant, but if your bf is fine with it, then it's a good thing.

You know what? don't sweat it! So you may not be pregnant RIGHT NOW, don't worry, there's plenty of time! Babies are awesome, but man they're a lot of work... so much stress and so many headaches. Just think, you don't have to worry about that mess for at least a little bit sweatdrop But never you fear, you'll get your own little grey-hair-maker soon enough! lol. It'll happen when the time's right, whether you know it or not heart
