wait.... i am not the one who is pregnant. it is my discussion who is about pregnant. i hope you didnt get it all wrong. lol. when you first knew that you were pregnant what do you feel? who was the first person you told? what was your husband/partner's reaction. to guys what did you feel when your wife/partner told you she was pregnant?

The very first time that I was pregnant we were so happy because we've been married 6 months and we were worried that something may be wrong. But that happiness lasted for only 3 months because I had miscarriage on the third month. So, my second pregnancy was something that we looked forward to. And then it happened, days after I had my period again, I got pregnant. And the rest is history. I have 3 sons now.

Of course, I'd like to have a daughter but I won't try to have one anymore. I'm fine with my 3 sons.

wow after all the waiting and expecting you have three sons now. clap clap clap. do you still wanted to get pregnant and try to have a girl? some couples are like that tehy are desperate to have a daughter if their children are all boys, or they try to have a boy if all their children are girls. or are you satisfied of having just sons? thanks for the response and have a nice weekend

I was quite ecstatic when i found out i was pregnant... because i was really waiting for that time to happen... like i take a pregnancy test every month just to find out if i was already pregnant or not... The very first person i told was my husband... and he was equally as happy as i was...

hi roniroxas! i am pregnant now, i am on my 32nd week, which is about 7 months already. well, we waited for more than a year before i finally got pregnant, because i have PCOS. i have had so many tests done already. so many medications. nothing happened. then i stopped all medications, even fertility vitamins. then i just let things be. i thought if i got pregnant, then fine, if not, then i guess it is not God's will. then one day, after feeling strange for so many days already, i tried the hcg urine test again. then i learned i was indeed pregnant! it was all too surreal for me. imagine waiting for it for a long time and then finding out that what you have been waiting for has been given to you. but it took some time before the truth sank in. anyway, the first person i told, after breathng a praying of thanks, was my husband. i had to send him a text message because he was traveling in another city at that time. even he could not believe the message. he did not reply immediately. he was so happy and excited, at the same time anxious, as the urine test might be wrong, so anyway, it wasn't. and we were very happy. :-) we thanked God for everything. take care and God bless you! :-)

When I knew I was pregnant, I was so surprised and couldn't believe it. I think it arrived so early and it's totally out of my expectation and I didn't prepare for it well yet. Of course my husband was happy to it. I love China

When my hsuband and I decided to see if I was regnant it was because HIS dog was following me around and wouldn't even let me go to the bathroom by myself. When we did the test, he saw it changing colour and locked me out of the bathroom until he could read and react to the answer. When he opened the door he was smiling like an idiot but white, which is quite a feat because he is Ojibway Native. lol

he think you were pregnant because the dog keeps following you? that is so cool. your dog is that sweet? or dogs are really like that? sorry for me asking about dogs. i dont own a dog so i really dont know that they have traits like that. that is so cool. thanks for the response

Yes, we figure that the dog could smell the changes in my body chemistry, and that is why he becgan to act differently. The dog was very protective of me the entire pregnancy. After we brought home the baby, he only had eyes for the little one, and I was again an afterthought. Funny doggy. German Shepherd/Collie cross. Very smart. Very loyal. very very good good dog.

Well..when the first time i knew that i was pregnant,i am really nervous.I didnt know how am i going to tell my granny about my condition.Im so young that time.And you know what?My granny doesnt like my partner...lol.Yeah,its 100 percent true.That's why even my partner didnt know what to do.Im also excited to have my own baby,coz i love kids.And it's every womens dream.But the only problem that time is that if my granny will accept it or not.but thank GOD that she accepted it.Especially when i gave birth and granny saw my cute baby.Eventhough at first,she's really mad at me.But atleast now,i dont have a problem anymore.

When i was pregnant with my first child i was over the moon although i was just 19 i felt more than ready to be a mum. My then boyfriend was also very pleased as well he was with me when i got it confirmed at the doctors. I told everybody i knew as i was so excited about being a mum. I was just as excited with my other three pregnancies after that and it was my boyfriend, who later became my husband, who i told first every time. Then it would be my parents and the rest of my family. When i got pregnant with my new partner he knew before i did as he started to get morning sickness and headaches which had always been a sign that his ex wife was pregnant. My friend also guessed i was pregnant before i had even had it confirmed we had gone out for my birthday that night. The DJ would put birthday greetings for all, if you requested it, up on the big screen so she asked for my name to be put up with birthday wishes, but unbeknown to me or my partner she asked them to put a footnote saying congratulations on the baby. So there it was for the whole place to see it was so embarrassing as we had told no one as we did not want to until it had been confirmed. But she was just excited as us about the baby.

when my wife told me taht she was pregnat i was so happy that i can almost do the dance of joy. we lived in for 4 years before we got married and it was in our first year as a married couple when she said she was pregnant. but unfortunatley she got a lot of miscarriages. so whenever she said she is pregnant the first thing we did was to rush to our doctor. but after all of those miscarriages we finally hit the jackpot. and what is more fun it is a boy. now he is three years old toddler and very active. i Thank God for maybe the waiting was long but it was all worth it

I remember the day I found out that I was pregnant with my daughter. My mother and I had went out for a day of shopping. We went out for dinner and I told my mom about how I was feeling. I told her how my stomach always seemed so upset and I felt exhausted all the time. She looked at me and said, "Are you sure you aren't pregnant?". I said, "Well, I am a couple weeks late". We went to Wal-Mart and while there she bought me a pregnancy test. I took it home and the first thing I did when I got home was take it. When I looked at the test and it showed a positive sign that I was pregnant, I remember walking up and down the hall from the bathroom to the livingroom and back and back again. I started crying and it was tearing of joy and tears of fear. The father and I had just broke up a couple weeks before I had found out and I wasn't sure what to feel. I tried calling my mother and he phone was busy. She just lived across the street from me so I couldn't stand to stay at my house, I had to talk to her. I walked over to her house and walked in all teary eyed. I looked at her and said, "I'm pregnant". I had tears pouring down my face. She looked at me and said, "There no reason to cry now, what's done is done". She was so right, I had to deal with it and realize that I was going to be a mother. After I talked to my mother, I went home and called the father of my daughter and told him that I needed to talk to him and then I went to his house and told him. Now, my son, I had thought that I was pregnant for over a month but the pregnancy tests kept saying no. Then I made doctor's appointment to see what was going on and they told me to get an EPT test instead of the store brand and try it. I tried the EPT and low and behold, it came up positive that I was pregnant. The first person I called was the father of my son. I told him that I was pregnant and he just said, "Oh, you are?", like it was nothing. I guess when you sleep around on your wife and knock up a few other women and don't support the children anyway, then it isn't really a big deal. After that I remember calling my sister and telling her. I wasn't sure how to tell my parents because I wasn't sure how they would feel because my son's father was African-American and I'm Caucasian. I knew my parents would be supportive of me but there were so many other factors that I had to consider too. Who my son's father was, wasn't really a good choice. His record wasn't so good and that wasn't to my favor at all. Thankfully, my parents have been supportive and my son is the apple of their eye.

im not pregnant anymore. i just had my baby 3 motnhs ago. but it was the best experience ever. my finace freaked out at first adn didnt want her but after he got used to it. he said he was happy. it took a while for him to get used to having another child (he already had 2 sons before we got together) my friend was there when i took the test so i guess she would have been the first to know. but then i called my mom and dad. then i told my finace. in the end it was the best thing that could have ever happened to me.

Well I remember that I checked the pregnancy test at 3am in the morning, I couldn't wait to know. Whgen I realized that I was really pregnant I told my husband who was excited and confused at the same time. In the morning we went to the doctor so I will sure be certain that I was really pregnant since we didn't believe it :) . Now I have a girl of three years old she is the joy of my life.

that is good. we really have to let a professional check us before jumping into conclusions. sometimes the pregnancy test kits are not saying the truth. atleast our doctors will tell us the truth. wink wink. are you planning to get pregnant again? is your hubby wanted to havea boy? thanks for the response

I was thrilled to be pregnant but the test confirmed why I was SO completely exhausted! For me, pregnancy was not "the best I've ever felt". For me, it was constant nausea, bloody gums when I brushed my teeth, an incredible sense of smell and bone crushing fatigue! But that first flutter I felt in my belly made all the bad - not so bad :D I told my husband first - he was estatic both times! Well, until the ultrasounds. LOL He wanted a boy SO BAD. Yup, we had 2 girls. He's an awesome dad but really wanted a "hunting buddy". It's a "guy thing". The girls are now learning to shoot bows. I'm ok with that because I have a bow, too :

When I found out i was pregnant, i was ecstatic! Hubby and I tried for 4 yrs to get pregnant so it was great news all around! I found out with a home pregnancy test, but wanted to confirm with the doctor, so i made the appointment and kept the home test results quiet..let me tell ya ... that was tough ..lol. I went to the appointment alone, so when doc confirmed, i had noone to share it with immediately. I had to take the bus home before I could even call anyone..lol. I tried to wait til hubby got off work but i coulndt..so i called one of my sisters and she was the first to know, then hubby, well at least from me, they were the first two to know...telling my sis was like telling the evening news. Before I knew it, everyone was calling to congratulate me cuz she gabbed..lol. Of course hubby was happy as well, and when i was 16 wks along I found out we were having a boy, that there was truly the best news for hubby, he had so wanted a son, and now he was gonna have one. Son is now 5 and half yrs old, and hubby will still say at least once a week, how he still cant believe he has a son, and how I gave him the best gift ever. He is truly a proud Daddy...and the two of them are best buds!

that is really good to make sure first to a professional that you were really pregnant than annoucing it all at once. sometimes this home pregnancy detecting kits fails. my sister once used it and it said positove but when they wentto the doctor it was a false alarm. lol your sister was like a newspaper the headlines are written pretty big. up to now your hubby feels very lucky to have a son. arent you planning to have another one? thanks for the response
