And scared out of my mind!
Hi, I stumbled across this message board a few days ago and have been lurking about reading other members questions and hoping to get some answers to my own concerns.
I thought I ought to officially introduce myself though as I for see many more questions and concerns in the months ahead.
I'm 25, single, (BF just over a year) and was completely and utterly dumfounded and terrified to find out I was pregnant just before the Christmas holiday. I was on birth control, felt as safe as I could be, and refused to believe anything was different even after my period was several days late. Finally I took the test and lo and behold found out my world was changed forever! After several long and emotional conversations with the BF I decided to see this pregnancy through to wherever it may lead.
Needless to say I remain terrified and completely unprepared for the journey ahead. I have yet to see my OBGYNs office, they wouldn't see me till next week, and I just have so many questions! I am hoping that I can gain some knowledge and understanding from all of you veteran posters and in the course learn how to be a not-so-scared pregnant lady. According to the advice nurse I spoke with I should be around 6 weeks and according to most pregnancy sites I should be due 8/2012. ; ).
Thanks for listening and hope all are having an excellent start to their 2012s! : ).

AWW!! well.... although your emotions are mixed... congratulations! I think that everything happens for a reason, so the fact that your baby was conceived even though you were on birth control, makes it that much more special and a blessing. 3 of my 4 kids were unexpected. The first were my twins. I was 21. Engaged, but not married. They are 7 now. My 4 year old we planned on, but then my youngest (2) was terrifying. My marriage was in shambles and I really wanted a divorce. Instead I got a Mini-HIM. But, 2 1/2 years later (and a legal separation and reconcilliation) we are trying for a girl and just found out we are expecting in September. After 4 boys, and my family thinking I am crazy, I am all over the place with this one. I am at peace with our decision, but nervous about so many things. Let me just say, EVERY pregnancy is different. Just because there are veterans on here doesnt mean that they feel any more at ease than you.... YOU WILL BE OK. and you have someone to talk to when you cant sleep from all of the anxiety. I wish you the best. CONGRATULATIONS again,and I'd love to get to know you better!

Thanks, it's been a scary last couple of weeks and some days I feel as though I've got no one to confide in ( the only person who knows is my BF) so I would feel very lucky to get to know some of you veteran and newbie moms!
