Pregnancy Info HOME

yes, thank you...trying to figure the site out myself.

T-ann I haven't been to docotr yet. Still trying to decide what is the right thing to do. I know my risks are high and I also have a daughter that is getting ready for college. I know that their are alot of cost for college, not sure if having a baby right now is the best thing to do. Sometimes the idea so great, then sometimes I think not sure I can do this again. I seem always tried. Even though that is part of motherhood, I still seem selfish when it comes to sleep. Have you been to dr yet? Have you told any family members? I talked to one of my sisters, shee thinks well, glad its you, not me. I also told my 17 years old daughter, she is scared for me, she feels that their could be something wrong, all the stress of the baby now. I don;t seem worried at all about that. Still so confused.

I know just what you mean. The whole idea is exciting (the heart talking), then frightening (the mind speaks up) because the reality of life comes into play. I am going through all the same moitions right now. SLEEP, what is that anyway??? I think I may have given it up when my son was born! Some days I wonder how I stay on my feet. I have not been to the doctor yet. My son has an appt. next week. His doctor delivered him. I am going to talk to her, I THINK. I have only talked with my husband as far as family goes. He confuses me even more. I can't understand whay he is so calm! I talked to my friend, who would love another baby, but due to medical reasons can't have any more. The first thing she said was, "You can't do this!" Now we just don't talk about it. I had so many people make that comment to me during my last pregnancy (I'm glad its you, not me.) and it never bothered me. I just thought...me too, I think! We tried for years to have another baby and NOTHING! 16 years with no birth control...nothing! Our grandson came along and I thought, well that was that. I stopped trying. SURPRISE!!! I was with my mother and sister-in-law last weekend, my sister-in-law just had her tubes tied, and my mother asked her how she was healing. She said fine, then asked me when I was going to have mine done. I wanted to crawl out of my skin...cuz I am late!!! I avoided an answer, just kind of shook my head. My mother and her kept going on with the conversation and I was able to slip away. Wow, my knees almost started to knock! The FROWNS they will give this situation!!! I can totally relate to the confusion. It is wonderful that you could talk to your 17 yr old. My 18 yr old is the most gentle, sweet creature. But I know all she would be able to offer is a stern look and lecture! (Little boss lady, so she thinks!!) Your husband is excited?? Are you thinking about not going through with it?

I am going to test in the morning. I am 2 weeks late right now. I have never been more than 2-3 days late in my life. Except for a few Christmas ago's, which now my doctor believes was probably a miscarriage. (I waited too long to go in) I think I want this??????

I took at test last week. It was +. I am only 2 weeks late myself. My 17 is a senior this year. She also, helps (I never have to ask.) She is so good with her baby brother. My oldest 21, well she still hasn;t figured out what she wants in life.. She still lives at home, she works and goes to school. Sometimes I wish she would hurry and grow up... I mean I love her and all, but she always has drama, boyfriends, work, friends. I don't have time for all that. I haven;t taked to her yet, she will probably be upset. She likes to be center of attention. But my husbands, like yours is so cool and calm. I would not ever think of doing this again, if he wasn't such a great guy. We have only been married for 3 years. I was divorced for 14 years, before I met him. I raised the 3 children by myself, worked my tail off. I met my husband on Valentine's Day, Blind date, go figure... Now I am able to stay home with the little one. I really hope I decide to do the right thing. There is so much to consider. I think eat sleep (Ha Ha) thinking are we crazy to do this...... My son who is 15, wasn;t to happy last time, he plays sports in school and I think it really bothered him, his friends seeing his mom pregnant. But now her adores his little brother. But I am not sure how her will feel this time. Well let me know what the test says. Sounds like we might be around the same time. My last ms was June 25.

You are so fortunate to be able to be home with him. I have hated leaving my house every day that I have had to go to work (went back when he was 4.5 months) since my son was born. I believe this is partly due to knowing how valuable that time is and how quickly it will pa__s, having been there and done that. My 23 year old has yet to figure out what she will be doing with her life. We have been raising our grandson for the past 3 years as she comes and goes. (He is 3 1/2yrs) My daughter was one of the strongest most level headed young women. She was so talented (sports, music). Teachers would tell me how intelligent she was and what a great future she had in store. Then she met THE guy, what a joke. He talked her into a baby ... it was down hill from there. She has been so lost every since. I can't help her...just keep saying my prayers. I also had a teenage boy at home until recently. He is 17yrs and a Senior this year. We've had him since he was 4 yrs. He was 15 when my son was born. He had some trouble with it. Caused him some abandonment/emotional problems. My husband and I have been together for 22 years. (My oldest daughter is not his biological child) But he doesn't like me to share that. Blind date, huh...must have been meant to be. I am lucky that I did not have to raise my children alone, although at times it felt like I was. Are you going to make an appointment??? My last ms was June 28. Looks like we might be really close! I am out of town (no computer for the weekend) I will let you know when I get back.

Have a safe trip. I am making an appt. probably some time next week. Don't want to get my hopes up, then something happens. you know... I still have prenatals, I starting taking them this week. Honestly, All the Doctor will do is a preg test. I already know. so I am a little scared to go.... Anyway, let me know your results. I think I might try and get some sleep. Have a nice weekend....

kathykile - Well, I am not sure what to think. The test was neg. I am going to go to the doc and get a test. Still no sign of period. I have been so sad. I am a little surprised at my reaction. Have you been to the doc yet?

T-ann Its good to hear from you. Have you taken the test again. The first 2 times I took it, it was neg. But I just knew. I went and bought a different brand. Took it 4 days later. I can understand your feelings, should we at our age, not first child be happy or sad, when the results are what we want. I will keep you in my prayers, and pray for whatever you wish for. As for me, I have a Dr appt. Next Tuesday. Still a little scared, you know. Hoping my decision is the right one. I don't want to be over excited and then something happen. I sure you can understand those feelings. Let me know when you get back from DR. Maybe just maybe.
