How far along were you when you found out

Well even though my first daughter was planned I had no idea that I was pregnant until I was about three months. I was sick with a stomach virus that was going around and a period was the last thing on my mind. I was so sick that I couldn't even get out of the bed without someone helping me. Then one day when I was running to the bathroom to throw up I was like when was the last time that I had a period? I was like Wait a minute! I don't even know. So after being sick for about two weeks straight I finally went to the doctor and he confirmed that I was pregnant and close to being four months and also that I had lost nearly 50lbs. from being sick so long. I didn't know what to say or to think because when I took my pregnancy test at home with my husband the no line showed up clear as day and the yes line showed up, but it wasn't as clear as the no line. All in all I was happy though. How far along were you when you found out you were pregnant? Did it seem like you were pregnant a long time or for only a little while? Did you have a good pregnancy or a rough one? Mine was pretty rough because I threw up nearly everyday until I had her and I was so glad for that to be over with. Being pregnant is not something that I would like to do or be for quite a while.

Well me and my hunny were sittin on the couch watching tv and a tampon comercial came on. I was like huh.. hadnt had my period in a while. I took 2 tests and one was + and the other -. So I went to the doctor. I was 9.3 weeks along with my first. The pregnancy was very good not a problemand no throwing up. Then he decided to come 5 days late and to get stuck!! I had to have an emergancy c-section. He weighed 6.12 and very healthy other than some bruising on his head. We stayed in the hospital fo 3 days. He is now 5 and in school!! With my second I started trowing up everyday and knew I was pregnant again. When I went for the ultrasound I was 9.3 weeks just like the last time!!! Other than throwing up for 3 months the pregnancy was normal. I had a c-section with him as well. I didnt want the problems like before. He was 9.14 when he was born. He was fine and we spent 2 days in the hospital. He is now 3 and very smart. Man where did the time go? They get so big so quick!! I love all the milestones they go through. Our most recent is loosing teeth. My 5 yr old has lot one and has another loose one!! Man there getting so big!!

I think within the second month of my pregnancy is when I found out. I was a little sick and couldn't stand certains smells especially cooking smells. I started sleeping a lot more too and even dozing off at work, so my friends told me to get a home pregnancy test to see if i was, and there I was :) I had an ok pregnancy but the birth of my son was rough. Its been four years going on five and we have been trying for another, but no such luck thus far :)
