your reaction?

What was your reaction when you saw the positive hpt or or from your Dr? What about your family/so?
I was shocked when I saw mine. I didn't want to believe it at first, it was too good to be true. My family is happy for me even though my mom is being stupid about stuff. And my fiance is excited and looking forward to being a dad.

I dreaded the entire rest of the pregnancy because I knew the symptoms would be absolute sh** to try to deal with the whole time.
I was also super excited to see if I could have a little boy and just to get to see my little one growing in ultrasounds and get to love on him/her at the end.
It was like 8 something in the morning and I always wake up around that time to use the bathroom (bladder timer lol) so while I was in there I took the test.
I came back and snuggled up behind my fiancé and I was like "baby, guess what" and he goes "you're pregnant aren't you?". We proceeded to have many, many cuddles.

My husband and I had stopped trying and accepted that maybe it would never happen without "help". We adopted two beautiful monsters lol in September, and early Jan a friend said I should take a pregnancy test. I had an upset stomach for weeks, thought I caught something. Or cause I started wanting pickles in the middle of the night lol, I thought they just made me nauseous or didn't settle right. I was afraid to buy the test, after so many negatives I just started to feel stupid for even thinking it :(. Finally told hubby how I was feeling and how I was struggling with the thought. He grabbed the test and said it never hurts to try, we went home and I took it right away. But I was so convinced it was Neg, I didn't even wait for the pee to absorb. I handed it to hubby after instantly only seeing one line. I said I told you! It always Neg! And he looked at it and said, but this one has a plus sign... We were in shock!! Text my family a pic and they were super excited!! My sister is always looking out for me, and reminding me of important questions to ask My ddoctor. I'm 9weeks now, and I'm praying for the best!! Good luck to all you ladies :)

My husband was a wildland firefighter and had been gone for 2 months working, he came home on August 14 and I got pregnant on the 15 lol. I had symptoms right away and my husband kept telling me I was pregnant but I kept saying no because I had had symptoms like that before and never was. Well on the 27 of August he made me buy a test and I took it and the line was sooooo faint you almost couldn't see it. Well I went to the store and bought two more and took one the next morning and the line was a little darker so I sent a pic to my mom and to my best friend and they both said yup you are so I called the Dr and got an appt that afternoon and they verified that I was indeed pregnant. We were sooo happy and my husband just looked at me and said see I told you that you were pregnant. I am now 29+1.

I had a miscarriage Dec 2012 and we started trying again after. I would take a test every single month bc I was irregular w disappointment every time. We then booked a summer vacation for July and I figured "eh well, at least I'll be good to have some drinks on vacation" and stopped bothering taking pregnancy tests. Then at he beginning of July I saw a lonely pregnancy test left over in the closest and for no reason at all took it and it was positive! I was in shock! I ran out to the living room and had hubby check to make sure I wasn't crazy and then went to the store to buy more lol!

In my case we weren't actively trying but decided tosee what happened. I was so nervous and excited, but terrified at the same time I couldn't stop shaking. I had to call my fiance to tell him. My family is happy for us and my brother is giving me advice, lol, even though he has no kids of his own. My mom is being stupid after misunderstanding what I was trying to tell her. Now she's mad and won't talk to me.

I hyper ventilated and couldn't believe it. It was very unplanned and I was scared to tell my family. I waited till I was 8-9 weeks before I said anything. They were shocked and a little disappointed because the father and I were not in a committed relationship. Now I have 59 days left and i'm excited to meet my son. After all the shock my family is excited as well. The father and I hardly talk anymore but thank goodness for family... Without them I would be lost! Even though some of us might have not expected our lil ones... God has a plan for all of them and they are a blessing. :)

Stared at it, smoked a cigarette from nerves. Last one nonetheless. Went to the store, got 4 more tests, in case they were somehow wrong. Happiness and shock and reality of it hit when I said it out loud to my husband and mom.

I had just got my iud taking out & we went on a vacation w/out my 4yr old. I pretty much knew when we got back I was pregnant. I took the test more to show my hubby. So I wasn't really shocked.
