Soo upset...

hey everyone I just did a pregnancy test and it showed up postive... Im shaking.. Im not ready for another baby... Alex isn't even one yet... I cant believe this.. maybe the test is wrong... I just cant stop crying...

((hug)) hang in there.  When you can breathe a little, make an appointment with your doctor for a "for sure" test, and just know we'll be here for you no matter what, 'k?

Deep breaths!  Saroful gave such good advice.  Don't panic whatever happens.  You're going to be ok!  You have a lot of friends here, and somebody is here all the time so you don't have to handle this alone.

Take very good care of yourself and your little one!

Claire

well don't worry.  like saroful said you should go get an official test.  it will be fine.  you can handle this for sure.

((((((((((((((BIG HUGS)))))))))))))))

Natasha, It s going to be OK... Hang in there and wait until you get an Official test...

Hi there.  Kay, just sit down and breathe for a second.  This happened to me too - I was pregnant for the third time - my second was 3 months old and I hated my ex husband!  I was devastated.  My first gut reaction was to eliminate "it".  After contemplating it, I realized I just couldn't do that - not to say what anyone else should do - just my own personal relationship with God and my belief system wouldn't allow me to do that.  I spent my whole pregnancy miserable, when I went into labour I was mad!!  Still firm in my belief that I should not have to go though this crap!!  Then my son was born....and everything changed in a blinding instant.  My theory is this, God put Jonathan on this earth for a purpose that was greater than my wants or science.  Perhaps he will cure cancer, perhaps his job is to save the life of the guy who will cure cancer...who can say?  I regret not being calm and happy through out my pregnancy and the thoughts I had!  Your son will appreciate a brother or sister being so close in age that they will be friends to each other.  Other positives: You will be young when they are adults, soccer games on the same night because they are on the same team?  More for you to love.  I hope this helps you - dry those tears - you will be ok no matter what you decide or happens!  {{{{{hugs}}}}}

Natasha the chance of a false positive is just about null. Please try to accept this gift from God and make it a positive experience. I know it seems devistating because you have worked so hard to get yourself in shape but this isnt an end to that goal. You just have to refocus. Please, from one who has tried for two plus years to have a baby, dont let this be a negative.

honey take a deep breath.  sometimes you can take them and they come up positive and arent really.  give your dr a call and make appt to go in today and have them check. 

I will say on a positive note my kids are only 20months apart, I found out I was prego 2 weeks before Rylee turned one.  They will be close to one another if you are preg. best friends.  Your body is in great shape and you should be able to still work out during pregnancies.  Dont stress yourself.  Alex will have plenty of mommy time- I promise!  I have lots of tricks I will share with you and Im sure many of us will.  We are all here for you.  Remember I told you in your diary the other day that if its meant to be then it will be.  IF you are pregnant, remember its an honor.  God picked you to be a mom again because you are such a wonderful one already.  We are never given more than we can handle. 

Nat - from what I've read from you - Alex is a huge joy in your life.  While you might have wanted more time alone with him, having another baby doesn't take anything away from what you've already got.  My kids are 14 months apart.  Wasn't what I had intended, but I'll tell you now - I don't think I would have wanted it any other way.  My kids are each other's best friends - they learn together - they share well - they love each other and their lives together (they even say that!). 

I'm not going to lie to you and tell you it was easy - my son was a late walker, so I was carrying him around when I was 8 months pregnant - I was terrified.  However, looking back, I can now say that I was lucky to have my kids so close together, for a couple of reasons.  1)  I don't think I'd want to move backwards.  By that I mean, I had both kids out of diapers within a few months of each other - I don't think I would have wanted to start that all over again years down the road.  2)  My kids have each other - I'm not constantly on call to keep them entertained - I love to play with them, but if I'm doing something around the house, or making dinner  - they watch out for each other.  3)  They have similar development - I don't have to take them to two different movies, two different places to play, they can have a friend over, and they'll all play together.  For me - here's the biggest one... I had to have a hysterectomy last year.  If I hadn't had both my kids when I did -I might not have ever had the priveledge of meeting my daughter. 

I don't expect any of this to change anything for you.  Right now you're faced with a huge life-changing thing.  I'm going to be thinking about you, and at this point all you can do is breathe, relax, hug Alex and wait...  However, I want to talk to you again!

Natasha, look at it this way.  Now you have a chance to be a fit mom and stay fit through the pregnancy.  You can still count calories, but they will just be higher.  You can still workout, just do mostly walking and preggers yoga or pilates.  My sister-in-law does all of these when she gets pregnant and she stays fit and trim throughout and once she has the baby she walks everyday.  Her daughters are 18 months apart and she is a size 4.  God help me when I get pregnant.  I can't wait though!  You'll be fine. We are here for you!!!

Natasha, My kids are 18 months apart and I wont tell you it's been easy,but I wouldn't have it any other way.Your body is in great shape now. It's a lean mean fat burning machine. You can do this!!! We are all here for you.

Thank you everyone this means so much to me to know that I have all of you to support me... And Im still going to stay on this site and count my cals... I did this baby due calculator and it said my due date is Jan 8th 2007. Maybe my baby will be born on New years =) apparently you get a bunch of free stuff if your baby is born on new years... so cross your fingers.. I'm feeling alot better becus alot of ppl messaged me on yahoo... I still have my moment when I will break down and cry! I don't know how Im going to break the news to hubby. I think he will be happy tho becus just a couple weeks ago he said Alex need a little sibling! And apparently Im 5 weeks pregnant, I looked back at what I weighed 5 weeks ago, and I was 133 lbs and now Im 125.5 so I lost 7.5 lbs being 5 weeks pregnant. Im gonna call and make an appt. with my doc. *sighs*

good job girl...  once it all blows over some you will see things in a better light

hey shouldnt you be cleaning slappy? LOL

I havnt even started

It brings me great happiness to see a more uplifting post from you. I wish you the very very best. And may I suggest a candlit dinner with a birth announcement that gives a birthdate of "Some time in Janurary". Hey I just realized that he got his 2007!

You are going to do great! We all have faith in you and your abilities to be a great mom. Breathe, wash your face of the tears and know that's it's going to be alright.

yes I should be!  shouldnt you?

Good for you keeping a positive attitude. Don't think of it as a set back, think of it as a small delay with a surprise ending! Keep in mind, after you have a baby, that first few weeks afterward you will whip back into shape in no time, maybe even better shape!

I have 2 boys, 4 years apart... imagine my surprise when I found out, I thought I was in the clear. I'm happy to have them both now.

Onward and upwards girl!

thanks everyone... and yes slappy I should be cleaning..lol can you come help me?!

always here to help!  now we just need to figure out how to keep her from gaining too much during this blessed event!
