Earlier this week I was asked TWICE if I was preggers!!! I was so sad & cried when I got home because I noticed that I gained some weight & now I appeared pregnant. I realized that I wrote a post about 8 months ago wanting a baby & I do but my husband would say "we'll see" & whenever we were intimate he would be careful & use protection...My period is irregular & I'm due for my period this Monday May 31, but my last period was April25th. I took a test even though I know it's probably too early to tell & I bought a generic test so I got two lines which means preggers but one line was fainter than the other???? I want to include my husband in the process because my other 2 pregnancies where a surprise. But I don't have any cute ideas??? Should I wait or what? Im so excited & in shock?? Don't know what to do
Thanks
I'm Pregnant with baby #3!!! Thanks moms. I am so excited! I was in denial when I wrote this post...really I thought I wasnt pregnant & just wishing I was...so I took like 3 more test & I included my husband. I went out & got pink & blue balloons & decorated our bathroom with the pregnancy test & a card. I wrote on the mirror "Bun in the oven???" As soon as he saw it he was so happy & we took the test & found out together!! I scheduled my appointment & we are going together next week! Even though its our 3rd baby I still wanted to make it special(Grand Mameore G)...obviously we wernt preventing it & he is just as excited as i am. Thanks for all the cute ideas & congrats! I appreciate it :)
Generic or not, faint or not, 2 lines means preggers. A false-+ is almost unheard of, there are just a couple conditions that can create the hormones to falsely read positive on a pregnancy test and you'd probably know if you have them.
Congrats, you're pregnant:)
How to tell him? Make a dinner of baby things - baby back ribs, baby carrots, baby corn, baby (small) red potatoes.
I took my box (3 pak) of tests and peed on all three sticks. all three had 2 lines (which means yep... your preggers!) and one line was really faint all three times! I went to my ob, yep.. i'm preggers.
I wanted to wait till father's day to tell my hubby. I was gonna give him a gift box with small baby botties in it and a bib that said I love my daddy. How exciting for you! Get the box and make it look as though it's from one of the other kids. Then inside make it from " the little one in process" !! CONGRATS!
We are planning #4 and I bought a T-shirt for him to give him on father's day, IF I am pregnant by then, that reads Dad 4, like Dad to the 4th power. Here's the link.... http://www.couturemoms.com/catalog/i191.html
Also, for #3, I put together a website on www.BabyJellyBeans.com and filled out the due date, etc and a little how I found out I was pregnant and the type of birth we were planning. I brought it up on his computer monitor and then it timed out, so it went black. When he got back on the computer, the website was up and he knew he didn't recognize bringing it up, so he started reading it. And then, he read it again. He came downstairs to find me and gave me a big hug and said, "Congratulations."
Sounds like you are pregnant, so Congratulations!
You might very well be pregnant. I know I looked pretty bad my first trimester. No moning sickness but I did gain some weight early on before the glow set in. Definetely share with your husband! Good luck!
Hi and congratulations!!! I wanted a clever way to tell the family when we got pregnant with our 4th, and since Mother's Day was around the corner I was going to put a bun in the oven and have my mother-in-law go get "something" out of the oven for me.... my husband said that she probably wouldn't get it lol. So I did for her what I did for my mom who lives out of state, I printed out a picture of a bun in an oven and on the back I wrote a little saying "This bun hasn't been baking for very long, but will soon be done and fully baked by(insert due date) It was fun and everyone got a kick out of it! I also put it in the kids cards to our mothers as well.... or you can always sign a fathers day card with your other childrens names and also from baby. Have fun telling your husband!!!
A double line is a double line! Faint or not! Congratulations!! I love the cooking baby themed food idea! Thats soo cute.
I have had a test where one line shows up fainter than the other. It still means your pregnant! Congrats!!! You could always take another test just to be sure before you tell you husband. You should tell him. I sure he will be so excited!
Congrats!!!!!!!!!!!!! how exciting! I was always too excited to keep my mouth shut so I could never surprise hubby. but for my mom I gave her one of those nursery frames which had a teddy bear holding abc blocks and put a note inside that said "Coming in May 2009" she got it right away and was so happy I made that special surprise for her.
anyways you'll get tons of great ideas here, have fun!
wow..it seems you want a baby, but your partner is not so sure...you need to tell him as quickly as possible..cute ideas...you had two already!
You could wait until you've gone to the doctors and then invite your husband for the ultrasound in a nice way (with irregular periods they will probably want to date your pregnancy that way). (Faint line is still a line.) Congratulations! :)
If there are two lines no matter how faint, you are pregnant. I'd wait to tell people until you miss your period and take another test only because if you test early you run the risk of having what is sometimes called a chemical pregnancy (a pregnancy that doesn't implant and is then passed but shows up on a test). Congratulations and good luck!
a line is a line, i'd say congrats!!!! I got a cheap test too and the second line was barely visable but there was a line and sure enough there was my daughter. Good luck
