I am growing in excitement and I am so anxious to meet this wonderful child that has been growing inside of me for what seems like forever. Well girl good luck and I hop to talk to you again soon.

| I'm 21, and am pregnant also... I took a home test a few weeks ago and am going in on Monday for my blood test. I assume you've told your family? We have not yet -- I wanted to go to the Doctor first and make sure that everything is fine before we do. My boyfriend's family knows (although not by choice -- we told his brother and unfortunately it spread fast), but have not told mine yet. Good luck! Are you going to find out what you are having? ↑ |

| Hi I just turned 22 and am due 12/20 w/ my 1st. Some of my family knows, but this is embarrasing for me b/c I'm still in college. Are you with the father? I have a fiance, and he;s much more excited than I am. ↑ |

| i am with the father yes,i'm hoping for a girl, he wants a boy, lol... i hope we have a cute little girl...i haven't been sick per say but i feel weak and beat out from doing nothing, we argue alot but seem to be working things out, he's really excited, i was at first and have bursts of excitement but i find i'm just too tired to be excited..... ↑ |

| Ktx -- how did you tell your family? I'm in a similar situation, im still in college and my boyfriend is younger than me (although hes not in college -- he has a good job). No matter what I say as far as "we'll be fine, we're excited" my family will still be upset. How did you tell yours? ↑ |

Mom2be,
I told my mom first when I thought that I was going to have an abortion, and she thought that was the best thing. We decided to keep it though and at first she was a litle upset, but then she had to realize I'm an adult. Now my grandma was another story; I had my mom tell her...and I just cried and cried and begged her not to be disappointed in me. Still not all of my family knows about it and I'm 16.5 weeks. The fact is some of your family is going to be upset and disapponited, but they're going to have to come to terms with it. From what I hear a newborn baby can melt the hardest of hearts. Good luck!! ↑ |

| well really i was talking to my mom before hand about it, i told her that i was really late on my period and that i was going to take a pregnancy test. she wasn't too thrilled about it but she did not think it right to have an abortion. she has grown on the situation and is now excited because she lives with myself and my bf so it'll be nice to have some help around.... my dad on the otherhand was a bit different and still is...he was dissapointed and thinks that i'm wasting my life, he's told me on numerous ocassions that i should have an abortion... oh well, whatever he thinks, we're happy about the baby anyway... ↑ |

You dad will come around eventually. I don't necessarily think he meant to say that you were throwing away your life he was just a little disappointed in the situation at hand. The good news is that until you dad comes around you still have your mom for support. And you and your boyfriend are happy about the baby which is also very important.
You can still accomplished all the things that you want to do in life. It's just might take a longer to accomplish them once the baby is here (I'm not saying it will but there is always that possibility that it might). ↑ |

| yeah, i do still intend on going to university and stuff, i already have a good job which will be waiting for me when i get back but i'd like to excell further then just high school..... i dont think that dad will come around, he treates us like dirt and i'd honestly rather my baby not be around him unless he gets his act together... my bf is frightened to death of him, with good reason, hes 4 times his size and has a bad temper... ↑ |

Sounds like my dad. I think with my dad the only time that we actually matter is when he wants to show us off to his friends, otherwise we are garbage. My dad also has a temper. The last time I talked to my father I told him he could treat me however he wants but I will be damn if he is going to treat my son the same way. That he had the option of being in his life 100% or not at all. We are now at the point where he will only see my son if he comes here (he lives an hour away).
I am 29 now and also would love to further my education. My husband is currantly going to get his master and we simply can't afford both or us going to school at the same time. And my husband actually had a point the other day when he had said that he didn't think that I would be going to school anytime soon. He didn't mean that I would never go, it's just that alot of my goals in life have changed since my son has come along. I want to be the soccer mom, the school mom. I want to be that mom who bakes cupcakes for the schools bake sale. I was never like this before. Infact in the beginning I said as soon as my kids are in school fulltime I would be out in the work force again and I'm not sure of that any more. Whatever your goals are, stick to them. You don't want to look back later in life and say, "What if." ↑ |

| thats really sweet EthansMom0213, i kinda want to be a soccor mom too, but we wouldn't be able to afford me not working, i'm not working now, my doctor took me off work due to stress and i make 2 times as much as my bf... i'd love to be able to stay home with my kid(s) when they are older... my mom and i were talking earier and she totally thinks i'm having a girl because of my food cravings, i crave everything that she did when she was having me.... shes super excited and i think without my dad in her life to make her miserable she's gunna be a wonderful grandmother.... ↑ |

I had gone online and read all the myths on determining the gender of your baby. I read that if you are graving sweets of any kind you are having a girl. I could not get enough of sweets and well my little girl turned out to be a boy. When I had my baby shower for my first my friend was talking to my sister and she insisted that I having a girl and that my ultrasound was wrong because she felt that I was carrying to high. I laughed because 1) there was no denying from the ultrasound that I was having a boy and 2) yeah my son was a pretty big baby, he was in my rib cage up until they deliveried him via c-section.
They do however say that a mothers gut feeling as to what she is having is usually 71% accurate.
I do know that not everyone is able to be a stay-at-home mom and I don't think anyone is a terrible mother or father for having to work. For whatever reason it may be, in your case you make more money then your boyfriend. You can still be a great mother and go to work. It all about what you put into you child during the time that you are with them. For me and my husband we were financially better off with me staying at home with our son. We did the math before my son was born and I would have ended up making a little over a $1 after I took out the money to pay for day care. The $16 every two week really would be much of a financial help to us. If I had gone to college before my son was born and I was already doing what I wanted to do I would definately be working right now. ↑ |

| yeah my first ultrasound isn't until august 7th i'll be 19 weeks along... i'm really hoping its a girl i know so many people with baby girl stuff that would be perfect for december... i'm not going to be one of those parents that dont have a birthday because its too close to xmas though, i think that if i can afford it it'll have both a good xmas and a good bday... ↑ |
