i was 18 yrs old, and my bf of 3 1/2 yrs was 20. weeks before conception i had quit using any illegal substances
so I breastfed Grace for 7 1/2 months and when she was 9 months old hubby thought i was pregnant, but again i wasn't convinced.
after 2 hpt's and a blood test the doc called to say i was pregnant. she was thinking i was either far along or having multiples (twins and triplets run in my side of the family). 2 wks later at an ultra sound we find out i am almost 4 months pregnant! when i was 6 months pregnant and Grace turned 1 yr old I was very sick and losing a lot of blood rectally... (sorry tmi!) within weeks following my daughters bday i was hospitalized, diagnosed with a serious disease of the colon. i was sooo sick. i had our son. the kids are 15 months apart. and when Noah (son) was 6 months old the doc told me i had cancer and if i dont have surgery in the next few weeks i won't make it. so i went through 3 surgeries. also during this time i found out i am immune to birth controls.
then with this bugger, doc tried to give me new meds and told me to be sure i wasnt pregnant. to wait for my period and test just in case. so i tested a couple wks later and to my shock and surprise and 4 tests later I Am convinced i am pregnant again! I will be 36 wks Tuesday and so ready to be done! and no my doc says "i wouldnt advise more children. at most one more."
@mommakk88 I am guessing your aunt wanted to shoot him after saying that!
@island_mommie2b that's so cute! i love it when the bd is so excited!
I met my significant other 6 years ago. We had both come out of long annoying relationships so we were just friends. We worked together and hung out all of the time. After about a year of this I realized I was pretty much in love with him. We never hugged never kissed we were just really good friends. Before I knew it 2 years had gone by and I had not dated anyone just spent time with him. I realized then that our friendship wasn't moving anywhere and wasn't really healthy for me since I just wanted to be with him and he continued dateing girl after girl. So I quit my job and moved to canada. After about 6 months he started calling. After one visit to the states he started asking me to come back and be with him. I was stubborn but also not gettting over him at all. Finally he convinced me to move back.
I got pregnant within 3 weeks of getting back. It was such a roller coaster. We went from getting to know eachother to trying to decide if we would want to be parrents. We decided that we really wanted the baby. But then I bled from like week 7 to 11 so we though we lost the baby. Then finally got heart beats and ultrasounds and everything was great. Then at 17 weeks my water broke we waited to see if her water would refill but it didn't. I developed a huge infection and went to the er. I delivered our baby girl a day later. It was beyond devistating. He was amazing though.
Then three months later I got pregnant again on birthcontrol. He was so excited I was petrified. Pregnancy went the same way. First trimester bleeding. Doctors monitored me every week to make sure everything was ok. Finally got past 17 weeks and my doctors decided to skip my next appointment since I was out of the woods. Still at 18 weeks my water broke and I delivered our son 10 hours later. I was pretty out of it after that. But he helped me through it. I don't think I would be alive If he wasn't with me.
After many doctors they decided I had a blood issue. We waited 8 months before getting pregnant with this baby.I started hemoraging at 6 weeks. I started blood thinners and progesterone then. I have been on bedrest pretty much ever since. But I am 20 weeks now and so thankful to have this baby and him with me. Though bedrest sucks for sure.
@ll10 bedrest sucks! but i am SO happy they figured out what was causing the heartache!
I am much older than my three younger siblings and I just love them to pieces. Its much different then siblings your own age I don't know why.
