It might have not been the classiest thing but I just yelled "holy 💩" and my husband came running thinking something was wrong and then I showed him the test and he said the exact same thing. LOL I was in denial until my very first ultrasound appointment. I kept thinking I was getting a bunch of false positives.
I panted and paced back and forth before i told my husband because we had been trying for over a year and I was in denial the first 2 months until i heard the heartbeat for the first time and i cried with excitement
I hyperventilated and bawled my eyes out. I didn't think we could get pregnant and had just been at the doctor that morning saying that we wanted to try harder and do other tests to find out what the problem was. The doctor had me do a blood test to test my thyroid and a blood test for pregnancy, just in case. She called me after hours to tell me that I was pregnant. I started crying and hyperventilating. I couldn't finish the phone conversation and gave the phone to my sister. My mom and dad thought I was having a heart attack. I found out December 18th, I'm due August 17th with a little boy!
I was both shocked and relieved to know why I had been having weird symptoms all over. I showed the positive test to my fiancée and he started crying, my sweet man. 💕
I always thought that I might not even want to have children, but now I feel completely different! As soon as I learned and accepted that I'm bringing a new life into the world with my partner, it became one of my favorite things in life.
I was shocked. I just stood there shaking thinking I was seeing stuff because I saw a faint second line😂. Took a second test and it came out like the first. Honestly one of the most overwhelming days of my life and I started crying. Took those tests and a third when I got to my SO house and we just sat there. He threw up when we found out it was twins😂
I was shocked. I had taken a few years earlier that week but all he come back negative so I really didn't expect this one to be positive. But on a Friday night at a friends house, I took an early detection test and it was positive! I just stood there looking from the test to my friend saying "what?!" The next evening I told my husband by packing him a daddy diaper bag with the test at the bottom! And now we are expecting a little girl!
Well mine is a long story! starts off when I was with my ex for almost 2 years we tried having a baby but things for us was not going so well so I started losing hope and started to think maybe it was me 🙁 that couldn't have kids.. we went through alot of drama his family didn't like me we always argued about alot of stuff because of his family I was no longer happy he started treating me different like I was no longer his world, he became so selfish and was so rude to me because I couldn't get pregnant, I had enough of it and decided to leave i started talking to someone else as friends and the more we talked the more I started to fall for him😍 we talked about everything and I would tell him my problems, he asked me out we dated for a few months when we had sex he said he wanted to have a baby with me that's when I told him how I wasn't sure if I can have kids because of my past he didn't care he said he'll stay with me no matter what, we tried having a baby and nothing happened 😔 till I said let's just have our fun and worry about a baby later on, we still had sex, we been together for 1 year and 3 months and just 4 month's ago we found out we are pregnant!! we couldn't believe it!! I was so shocked and so happy my fiance was extremely happy!! I am now 5 months pregnant!! and it's a boy!!😍💙💙 we still can't believe it!! he's my little blessing!!
my bf told me a was pregnant. a week later I took a test and it was positive. took it at dairy queen
with my first I was in complete shock, I was only 18 and having a panic attack! about three years later we started trying for baby number 2 and when I finally got m6 positive if was screaming, the silent seams lol. I had my 2 year old daughter run the positive test to her daddy and say happy anniversary, as it was our 3 year anniversary of being together :) great gift I'll say!
Lol. I went back to sleep. My husband and I had just started trying and I took the first two tests too early and we couldn't tell if there was a line or not. A couple mornings later I woke up, peed on a digital one and got my answer. Went back to bed and my husband woke up a little. He looked at me and I smiled and nodded, saying that it was positive. We were both super excited but exhausted so he just grinned and then we snuggled up in bed and went back to sleep.
I cried, I was 16 my aunt had just told me the night before if Iwas pregnant she wanted me to have an abortion and my now husband wouldn't answer my calls so I had to tell him over text. I went to ear at Olive Garden after and got what to expect when expecting started reading it and slowly started to feel better. I was scared as hell though
I was happy.....couldn't believe it....started crying (happy tears) & called a friend to tell them the news
I was so shocked because I had my first child 15 years ago hahaha soooo it was a big surprise for me.
I hyperventilated then fainted.. then wokeup with tears of JOY. 😄
With my first I cried. I was told I couldn't have children so I sat in the office and cried out of joy. With my second I cried. I cried out of fear because I wasn't ready. But I think I was more ready then a realized.
Put out my cigarette and went to work. Never picked it back up.
Found out I was pregnant and started packing up our room cause we were in the middle of moving as well as found out that we got the place we wanted to move too
I looked at the test and had to take a double take but I was shocked and excited. Then I took a picture of the test and sent it to my husband.
seen the positive test and passed out on the bathroom floor. once i woke back up i looked at it again and started crying outta joy the impossible happened and excitedly told my husband
First I did - I went balcony and smoke ....by the way - I'm not smoking 😂😂😂
with our first, we were TTC. It was also my first round of Clomid. I tested March 10 of last year. just 3 days before my 21st birthday. I didn't see the second line on my test. my husband did but I couldn't it was too faint. so he went to the store and bought me some more tests. sure enough that next one was definitely a positive. we were so so happy! finally after over a year of trying, we were having our baby. she was a girl, Lila Brooke. 3 months after she was born, I'd went to the doctor to get on the pill since my breastfeeding hadn't worked out. my doctor prescribed it to me but to make sure I'd actually had a PP period instead of more PP bleeding she told me to wait until I started my next one to start my pill. well I've always had irregular periods. before my daughter was conceived I'd only had one and then before that, nothing for 8 months. so when it didn't come I didn't think anything about it. I was tracking ovulation via Fertility friend and using my BBT. it showed no signs of ovulation what so ever so I figured it was another anovulatory cycle. no big deal I'd have her prescribe provera to jump start my period. well, standard procedure is a pregnancy test. I told her no worries we were being safe, condoms and spermicide until I could start my pill. she said she had to do it anyways which was fine I understood. well she brings two other nurses in with her when she comes to tell me my results. so I was kinda worried something else might have been wrong. she looked at me and said 'Katie, hun, it's positive.' now she's a family friend and I've seen her since I was 8. so she didn't think anything of it when I looked at her and said you are effing kidding me right? she said no and....well I fainted right there in the floor of the exam room lol. luckily one of the nurses caught me before I hit the floor. so when I came to she said we will send you to the hospital for some labs they will come back quicker that way and we would know for sure based on my hCG levels. sure enough one of her nurses stayed late at the office and called me when they got my results back. she called and told me I was about 6 weeks pregnant. that was February 12 this year. just 2 days before Valentine's day. so I text my husband since he was at work and said, Happy Valentine's day. I know I can't afford to get you anything but you have already given me everything. A loving husband and 2 wonderful children. Looks like we are having another baby! Well he passed out too lol. currently 23 weeks with our son, Asher Zane. Him and his big sister will be my Irish Twins:)
Looked at my boyfriend and asked him if he were ready to do this. I had full lacrosse scholarship at one of the best schools in the state so I knew my parents were going to be upset. After I told them I binge downloaded pregnancy apps lol
I was shocked and sad in the beginning, not gonna lie about it. I was thhinking for myself how the heck I'm going to raise another child in this world and to my life as it is already fucked up. I had mixed emotions for long time. I'm so happy that he was born. Its okey to have these emotion, to be scared, unsure, happ, sad etc. He and his brother are the nest that happened to me. I love time more than anything in this world.
@babyrossmommy, that is crazy! I had a co-worker tell me I was pregnant too before I even knew! I wasn't trying as a matter of fact I was on the pill!!
I took 2 tests. Messaged my boyfriend and went to applebees for one last drink lol. The drink didnt agree with me. Long story short, baby girl is almost here and we're excited!
We we're definitely trying for her. We wanted a boy but that's okay. I found out at my dads when we we're visiting. My dad offered me a drink and my fiance said I better pee on a stick first lol. Sure enough I took the test and was jumping for joy in the bathroom, even cried a bit. I walked out to the garage and told him when we we're alone and he hugged me so tight, I don't think we've ever had a happier moment than that. Now we have 3 months to go and we can't wait. ❤❤❤
very planned baby but I had given up since we were about to see a fertility specialist in 2 weeks. I felt weird so I'm like what are the odds we conceived while I was ovulating. took a test from the dollar store came out positive right away. quickly took the 2nd another positive. did a 3rd test and same thing....I was so incredibly happy and in disbelief. my hubby was at the lake with a friend so u excitedly
texted him (wish I did it a diffrent way but I was too excited) found out 6 days before AF wad due.
sat in the bench part of our trailer ,leaning back said i don't know how to say it. to my fiance and he said before i could even get it out. your pregnant aren't you. then i was like ya and he was like i already knew. than at first we didn't want anyone to know than we told my aunt than my mom than my dad. then everyone except for my fiances parents they didn't get to know until after i had him.
well I had just gotten back from a senior trip and I was late but I thought it was stress since I was graduating in less than a month but my friends told me I needed to test so my boyfriend drove me to the store and I paid for the test and went straight to the bathroom. It didn't even take 30 seconds to come up with the positive. I walked to the car and I cried because I was going to college in the fall and my boyfriend was trying to find a job that fit with his class schedule. We then went to his house and I went to the bathroom to take the second one and it also took less than 30 seconds for the positive to show up. We laid down in bed and just talked then our friend came over and we told him. It ended up being the greatest blessing we could've received though. She is now 17 months and we couldn't imagine our lives without her! We are both full time students and we work odd jobs while looking for a steady job but we only have 2 years left of school until we start our careers and we do it all for our amazing little girl 😃 👣 💜 🍼 🚼 🚸
the day that I found out that I was pregnant was rough. I cried for over an hour because I had to cancel my Disneyland trip. I was going to keep it a secret but my in laws got curious when I was giving up Disneyland. so, I had to tell them...
The first time when I found out I was already misscarrying so I was in shock/upset. About 3 months later I found I was pregnant again and went out and got some stuff to tell my so in a cute way even though this second time wasn't planned, we decided we wanted to wait a little longer but our son had other plans. He looked at me all confused then he cried and we hugged and all that good stuff.
we screamed!! we had been trying for a year! we were so happy
Well I was in shock. I cried for a completely different reason than Brandon. Lol. But after a day, I was super excited and ready ❤️
I was so excited I took the test in the store and cried. When it said yes I went shopping of creative ways to tell my husband when he came home from work. Literally took all day lol
i was to nervous to call my husband so i texted him and told him and he called me instead of replying back
I almost fell off the toilet both times the line popped up before I could lay it on the sink
Shock and denial at first. Then started freaking out since it was not planned. Safe to say now it was the best thing that has ever happened to me.
I thought the cheap home test was wrong... So I had my fiancé go to the er wth me an the dr did 5 different tests an they all came out positive along with two blood test an then it hit both me an my fiancé both that we are finally gonna be parents. We've raised so many other kids with our exs an raised my cousins little girl an try got taken away from us an we are glad we are actually having one that can't get taken away from both of us!! We are excited to bring him in the world Sunday night/Monday morning
I was in denial! I'm 38, and my last baby it took 2 1/2 yrs & two miscarriages. All this time took was a bottle of fancy wine & my husbands birthday! They sent me for an early ultrasound because I didn't know when my last period was. When the tech showed me the baby, I asked her if she was sure it's really a baby. She let me listen & see the heart beat until it sunk in. Then I cried, and cried! I felt bad for the denial, I felt bad because I swore our family was already complete. Now we are thrilled and can not wait to meet our little man!
I cried. I had just had a miscarriage 4 weeks before and hadn't even missed my period yet. I was so scared it would miscarry again. I had 3 in 13 months.
I cried tears of joy and woke up my husband to tell him we had successfully started a family.
I was 2 days late, but I thought it was just because of stress. When I got the positive test I was so happy I cried. My husband had just been diagnosed with hairy cell leukemia about a month prior. We conceived right before he started his chemo. We were going to start trying after the chemo was out of his system but we weren't even sure he was going to be able to produce after all the chemo. Kyleigh is our little miracle baby. She was the good news we desperately needed!
Well actually before that I sat on the bathroom floor staring at the test for a good 30 mins
The first thing I did when I got that positive test was sign up for Medicaid haha
I asked the dr if he was sure I was pregnant. After confirming it was real I told my mom then puked in the bathroom.
bawled my eyes out to my mom cause I was so terrified bjt I was happy once the terror left lol
I was in shock and happy at the same time, i went out to buy another box of tests and 2 out of the 3 when i got home, i saved the last one to do for my mom, she was mad for a while that i was only 20 and pregnant but she got it when she thought it through that this baby will be my only one. I had a doctors appointment then when i was only 3 weeks or so and told her i was pregnant she doubted me since i had kept getting negatives for a year and when we did get a positive in july last year i miscarried the baby a week later. The doctor confirmed my pregnancy and i cried and she did also, here i am now 36 weeks pregnant and ready to meet my little man any day now😍❤️😘🤗
ran upstairs gave the test to my SO and started crying he couldn't believe it , we were both in denial lol so we walked to the nearest hospital to confirm , mind you ladies it was RIGHT AFTER a blizzard...
Our 2-year-old was after a couple years and multiple rounds of IUI and IVF with a 2nd trimester miscarriage in there. He was just 6 months old when I found a digital pregnancy test in the cabinet. I was having that "pregnant feeling" for days and my husband kept cracking jokes that I was pregnant. I kept insisting "I'm 38 and have no eggs! Not possible." Well, my husband is a teacher and he had gone to work, so I figured I'd take the test since I had it and I could finally quiet his teasing. Needless to say, I called him at work before his first period class, nearly speechless, not sure if I should laugh or cry (because this would be child #4...the 2kids in middle school were from our 1st marriages). I said "Ummm Brendan? I'm pregnant." His response was classic. Laughing, "Shut the hell up! I have kids coming in. Wait. Are you being serious?" I told him I was dead serious and to have a great day. 😂😂😂 He called me later to check if I was still serious. Finnegan is getting ready to turn 9 months old and Kieran just turned 2 last weekend!
I was at the doctors ( yet again) trying to figure out what was wrong for the past month, they thought I had an ulcer or something. So after so long they decided to try a pregnancy test. I waited for what seemed like years and cried because something told me inside that it was going to come back positive. Doc came back and gave me the papers and said congrats. I left and cried on the way home. Got home and started crying even more and told my boyfriend. Ill never forget the look on his face and he started to tear up and just asked if i was serious. I showed him the papers and he just held me. We had been trying for ahwile and then decided to put it on hold.
We both thought something was seriously wrong for the past month, numerous tests and even an ultrasound on my organs, we couldnt find out why I was so sick. But it turned out I had just gotten the syptoms like as soon as it happned in the last week of October, and we found out on December 2nd.
I was shocked but I kind of figure cause I started to feel different and was eating a lot and sleeping and sure enough I was pregnant this was with my son he's 7 months now and now I'm having my second one but I'm not sure how far along I am
I was with my best friend at the doctors office and we both started to cry because I was going to be a mom and she a godmom
Crying and screaming! Then I I called my best friend
I was shocked! I wasn't expecting the pregnancy test to read positive! I just sat there like 😳😱 then i told my mom because I was freaked out and I immediately went and got a second test and that read positive too. I was in utter shock then I called my boyfriend to let him know.
The first text was earlier in the day before I found out
I was completely shocked. totally scared and shaking. being 19 and graduating high school just a month before and getting ready to go to college, I was petrified. I wasn't ready to be a mom I wasn't ready to tell my mom she was going to be a grandmother at just 40 years old. I didn't know what to think but what am I gonna do now? well I put school off for a while and focused on preparing myself for what I knew would be a bumpy road ahead. when I finally told my family they were all surprisingly supportive. my boyfriend was beyond excited to be a dad. I was the only one that was a little taken back, scared and honestly a little disappointed. I always wanted kids, that was no question however I never thought I'd have them this young. my dream was to have a career and a house before I had my first little one. I wanted to be able to give her everything she could ever want and need and I feared that because I was so young non of that would be possible. now that she's four months old, I couldn't picture my life without her. she is the center of my whole world and the reason for my happiness. watching all my friends go out and party doesn't bother me like I thought it would because I get to watch my little girl grow and learn every day. I wouldn't give that up for the world. it's not going to be easy but I will still accomplish my goals and I will do it for her. to give her a better life. she is my motivation. There's nothing better than being her mom.
i was so surprised and happy that i kept going back to look at the test then cried happy tears and went to buy to more tests. then surprised my hubby. 😄😍
I got in my car and drove to target to buy baby stuff and I put it in a gift bag. Told my boyfriend: "surprise! I got you a present"
I screamed, ran and grabbed my hubby and dragged him to the bathroom to show him. While he responded with skepticism (the second line was suuuuper faint), I proceeded to hop around the house like a spazzed out bunny, squealing, insisting it was positive and that he needs to be more excited. Lol.
i was so excited but then i ended up having a miscarriage 2months later so I'm TTC my rainbow baby
I sat on toilet and laughed for like 10 mins.. then I called my husband and we decided to do 2 more test and they all were positive. this was after 2 yrs of trying we were in disbelief and oh so excited!!!!!!
We had been trying for 11 months and I was sure the test was going to be negative but it was POSITIVE I started crying and my husband who was in the shower at the time looked out and saw the test and we were both so happy
I cried lmao. I don't even cry that much. I burst out in happy tears. I found out in Lincoln Hospital. I got the test done there because I don't trust home pregnancy tests. In that hospital, if you're 18, you still get put in pediatrics. So, I burst out in psycho happy tears and all the little kids walked past my door looking at me like I'm insane 😂😂
I took the test because I always take one every month. When it was positive I thought it was faulty. So I took 14 more lol. It's true and I'm now almost 20 weeks :)
I had just had a miscarriage the month before I found out I was pregnant again. I cried and then began to pray for a sticky baby this time around. So far so good 💕

honestly I thought I could never had kids long story short ever since I was a little girl my mom made me believe I could never have kids my partner & I tried countless times 4 failed pregnancy tests & I was convinced no babies for me till one day I tested myself one last time & sure enough when I saw that positive my heart dropped it was like we did the impossible sure we thought about abortion at the moment because we were worried about being young parents but I knew when I saw my daughter in our 1st ultrasound that she was & now is my whole life ❤
