whats your story

Did you plan to get pregnant or not? How long did it take? Married engaged or single?

We planned it. It only took 2 months shockingly. You always hear horror stories that it took forever. I am soon to be engaged. Our original plan was to be married in April but now since we having a baby we are gonna get married before the end of the year and honeymoon next year when I feel comfortable leaving the baby! :)

Not planned. It was our very first time being intimate. We had just started seeing each other. But he had since moved in and I foresee us being together a long time. We are both over joyed at our little kiddo. Can't wait to meet him or her!

We have been trying for over a year. I got pregnant with my first within 6weeks at the age of 22. I have PCOS so I wasn't sure now that being in my 30's if it would happen again. I have always kept track of when we were intimate and each month when I had no period I got my hopes up only to be let down. I stopped keeping track and now I am happy to say that I am 14 weeks and due Feb 9! It was a total surprise, but a great one at that!

Ours wasn't planned. None of my children were. I am now pregnant with my fith child. This pregnancy was deff a shocker to us because last Tuesday I was being prepped for a partial hysterectomy due to me having uterin prolapse after baby number 4 seven and a half months ago. I was an hour away from having surgery when the doctor said I was pregnant. My husband and I are shocked because I was on the pill and never missed a day and waited over 6m for the surgery. I guess God wanted me to have another before I have the surgery.

Definitely didn't plan it. I was single at the time and we were parting in Vegas a little to much. We were just friends and I just always had the thought that I couldn't get pregnant. And we went to a club, had a few to many drinks and ended up loving all damn night. Lol. 3Weeks later missed my period but wasn't paying attention until the 6th week when my **** were hurting...  Lol now we are just a distant as we were before.

Totally a surprise! We did not plan it. We wanted to get married first, but oh well...baby first then marriage. We are getting married in less than one year :-)! We were good at protecting ourselves until we ran out of protection in the middle of getting it in. We went raw three times after that and bam...We are expecting our first little girl! We are both excited.

Our little one was planned. Me and my hubby tried for 3 months last year to get pregnant and did but then we lost the baby at 7 weeks last October (on hubby's b-day). So, we tried again soon after and got pregnant in January and now our baby girl is due in October!

Not planned. I still clearly remember that night my husband took out his condom in the middle of sex because the calendar said the ovulation was in 3 days... I didnt like it as it totally ruined my plan in my career. But as time go by, i start falling in love with my little one. So does my husband. We have been together for 7 years. He is much older and have a failed marriage before. I love him a lot so I wish my baby can grow up soon and be independent so that we can continue our romance.

My husband and i have been married for 4years but known each other for 13. None of our babies were EVER planned lol they just happened. Our second stayed hidden until i was almost 4months pregnant, i went to the hospital for excruciating back pain just to be told it's because i was pregnant. Super shocking especially since my first was only 5 months at the time. The doctor thought it was hilarious said I obviously conceived the first time we finally dtd postpartum. This is our 3Rd and my hubby told me i was pregnant. I didn't believe him until he made me take the test, which ofcourse came back positive. Guess he knew what he did.lol

We didn't plan it at all! But we are thrilled it happened. Our four year old is happy. Sometimes the mistakes are the best things to happen to us: -)

Not planned and we were busy stressing about a move and not to mention our marriage was falling apart big time. We found out after I missed my period. And we decided we needed to work through our issues. We have 2 kids already, 4 and 1, both girls. We have been together 7 years and married 6. We went on a couple of marriage retreats and we are good now. We needed the push to jumpstart our love life again. This baby was the push. Due September 15th, but I know it's coming sooner.

Congrats to all the mommas on here!!

It wasn't planned but we weren't  using contraceptives other than my period calendar. We started talking about future plans of when we would start trying, then we found out about 3 weeks later that the deed has already been done. We are happy and engaged to be married soon.

Both of my pregnancies were planned. Our first took us 3 months and our second took us 8 months of trying. Finally, we are happy to say we are expecting our little sequel in March. My husband and I have been married for 4 years, been together for 7.
