  unexpected pregnancy Reply Contact Hi ladies I just got the results of a home test and it is positive, albiet light but positive. Honestly I was getting ready to have my tubes tied and not really wanting another. SO needless to say I am rather devestated. I feel so bad saying it because there are so many out there wanting more kids. I already have a teenager, a preteen and a one year old. I have my hands so full as it is. Can anyone help me feel good about this? We used BC but I must have mad fertility...So yea. also another note we just put an offer in on a house that we're adding a bedroom to. I just don't know what to do. Kids are expensive and now I am going to have to buy another car. HELP! Amanda

All I can say is that there is a reason for everything, and God must of had a reason to give you one more baby! You might know the reason just yet, but sooner or later you will. Personally I think there is a reason that you need to meet this little person. Would you ever consider adoption?

  Re: unexpected pregnancy Reply Contact I'm a single mother of two kids. They are soon to be 17 and 12 years old. I am now pregnant with my 3rd child. Needless to say, I was TOTALLY shocked with the news and not entirely happy at first. But, one of my friends told me this advice and it helped. She said "Who knows? Maybe this baby will be the one that cures cancer or is going to be important in solving world peace, etc." I hadn't really thought of this any further than what it was going to do to me and my life. I'm so thrilled to be carrying a new life now. Good luck to you and congrats!!

  Re: unexpected pregnancy Reply Contact In my opinion, there is nothing you can do but accept that this baby is a gift from God and love it with everything you have. No one can ever afford kids, that just all has a way of working itself out. I just found out that I am pregnant as well. I have 3 sons, ages 16, 13, and 12. We were well on our way to looking forward to our "empty nest" years, finally getting to do some of that traveling we always wanted to do, etc. I spent the last 2 years telling everyone I know that I would only be 49 years old when my baby graduated from college. WRONG! Now I will be 61 and about ready to retire. My sons have all grown up close and I am afraid that this baby is going to grow up lonely with no siblings. However; I have an absolutely wonderful husband who is very excited and keeps telling me that this is God's way of making sure that I got my little girl. I just have to trust in that. All I can say is that this baby, boy or girl, is going to know more about football than any child you know. With 3 brothers playing in High School and Jr. Hi, and a cousin playing in college, it will see a lot of game time.

  Re: unexpected pregnancy Reply Contact Football Mom I just wanted to say I hope you get your little girl! I'm dying for a little girl right now. I know I would love a child no matter the sex but a little girl would be great. It's hard for me to connect with my boys at times cause I dont have a single tom boy streak in me. I love my boys with all my heart but can't wait for the day I have a daughter.

  Re: unexpected pregnancy Reply Contact I'm sure you've heard it all before but it did happen for a reason. It sounds a little out there but who's to say you're not carrying the person that discovers the cure for aids, or cancer or something. That little person has some form of importance, large or small, either way, you were meant to get pregnant even though it feels like a curse right now, you'll discover why one day. Congratulations!!

  Re: unexpected pregnancy Reply Contact Hi Amanda! Like majority of people will tell you things happen for a reason. I was an unplanned pregnancy for my parents, they were 41 when they had me and already had 2 boys who were 16 and 14 years old. So I was definitely a big Oppps! Doctors told my mom to abort me because she was already high risk and feared I would never make it. I was a month pre-mature but came out perfectly fine. And my parents always said I was one of the best things to happen. I keep them young and are basically there rock. My dad passed away 4 years ago and have been my moms support system, my parents always said they probably wouldn't be here without me! I helped them with everything and anything I could. My oldest brother not so much. But stay positive! And good luck to everyone else out there as well!
