I know how you feel but please see this as this as a blessing. God taught me a lesson many years ago when I had an unexpected pregnancy. I was so upset because I did not want another child at the time. I cried like a baby because I still had one in diapers and just couldn't imagine having another one. It was not until I went to the doctor and got some devastating news that made me realize how much I truly wanted this baby and how much love I had for it in such a short time (I was around 4 months pregnant). My whole world turned around when the doctor told me that one of my test come back as the baby having Trisomy 18 which is a chromosomal defect in which the baby usually does not survive. If they do they are severly physically and mentally retarded. I sat in his office in pure shock as he talked to me about aborting my pregnancy if the additional test that he was going to perform came back positive. That was 13 years ago and it brings tears to my eyes as I talk about it now. I ended up going through additional testing that came back normal (thank the lord). I still went through 9 months of wondering if my child was going to be healthy because of that one test. Well....he was born totally healthy and I thank God everyday. I feel like God was trying to teach me a lesson and that he wanted to show me just how fast I could loose everything. I didn't realize how much I truly wanted it until there was a chance that it was going to be gone. I know its a long story but I just wanted you to turn your situation into something positive. Things could be alot worse. Wish the best for you and your child...sorry for such a long vent session!

I also believed that things happen for a reason. And also think that positivity is the key to an happy life.;)

Congratulation to you this is a wonderful news. I am very happy for you. I wish you a beautiful healthy baby. Designer hand knitted sweater dress

Pregnant, that is so great! Well I hope that it is great. Babies are so precious!! I dont have any, but cant wait until I do! Congratulations!! :)

Awww Rebecca, Congratulations!!!! You KNOW in your heart that EVERYTHING happens for a reason!!!! By today's standards, you are still young!!!!
.....I can't imagine you pregnant though....you're such a tiny little thing!:big_hug:

congrats ;) I'm sure you will be made aware of the "grander plan" sooner rather later :D

Congrats! What a blessing! I am sure things will work out for the best. Just to add another story my sister had her last baby (unexpected) when she was 42 and he is a very healthy 14 year old now. Like Mardelin's mother she was pregnant at the same time as her daughter, so his niece is actually a little older than he is!

Thanks!!!!!!!!!! I have a friend who just found out she's pregnant too...we can go through it somewhat together...eating partner, lol!

I really appreciate each and every word everyone took the time to type...thanks! I was just so far off baby thinking...I need to readjust! I had a whole other plan...I know everything happens for a reason it's just such a surprize! I got rid of ALL the baby things for the second time I was so sure...LOL!

It is a great blessing!!
