OMG I am freaking out!

Yes, it's positive.

I am shaking, and I don't know what to do. I don't know how I'm going to tell my dh.

I guess we're fertile now!

The whole day went by, and there was no good time to stop by Dollar Tree. Evening rolls around, and I tell my dh to stay home with the babies so I can pick up dinner. I stop by Dollar Tree to get the test after getting a couple of subs. They don't have them (I even have to ask the lady, ugh), so I go to Walmart, pick up the cheapest box (Equate brand) but I get a 2-pack, just in case. I get stuck behind the slowest eldery man in line. We put the babies to bed, ate dinner, sit around and shoot the breeze. I then snuck upstairs and peed on the stick, and OMG it's positive.

What do I do? I hid the tests - one behind the toilet and the positive one in my robe pocket. I've gotta go find a better hiding place!

Take a deep breath and relax! It will be okay! Congratulations! You are going to be blessed yet once again.

 

OMG OMG OMG!!! Wow!!!! Can't imagine what you must be feeling now. Big and good luck telling DH! So excited for you, but completely understand that you're probably totally overwhelmed right now...let us know how it goes, ok?

 

Kristie! I know its scary, but congrats! I am so excited for you! Its the little boy you wanted, I know it!

I have a good friend who did fertility treatments for 4 years to have her second baby (2 years for the first) and she just found out three days ago that she is 6 weeks pregnant! And her second DS is only 4 months old... so I see where you are coming from... but it is still so incredibly wonderful.

BTW, her DH took it a lot better than any of us, including her, thought he would!

 

It will be okay! Take a deep breath! COngratulations!!!

We adopted our first and were SHOCKED when we found out we were pregnant with the twins... DH was thrilled. We figured it would never happen again, since it was such an unlikely thing, and it did. They were toddlers. I was so SCARED to tell DH, but I knew I couldn't keep it from him. So I did, very nervous, and he was very happy. A bit nervous, but very happy.

He will be thrilled! Men see it as a source of great pride when their "woman" gets pregnant. (I know, very caveman) Drink a glass of sparkling cider and toast to the new little one!!

 

OMG. Congratulations. Like all pp's have said, it will be okay. It may not feel like it now, but it truly is a miracle. I always find it so amazing when people need fertilty for #1 and then have no trouble getting pregnant on their own later. Wow. I hope you find a way to tell DH and hope he takes it okay, I think he may be shocked, but happy I'm sure. Congrats again.

 

Oh my gosh!!! My eyes are watering!!! Congratulations!!!!! You are SOOOO lucky!!! I would LOVE to be in your shoes!!! Remember, God doesn't give you more than you can handle! You will be just fine!!!

 

OMG! I think this will all be fantastic - take sometime for yourself - and then tell DH! You'll feel better when you do - and don't forget how truely amazing this is!

 

Congratulations!! That is so exciting! Now go tell daddy and let us know how it goes!

 

YAY! So happy for you...go tell him...I am sure you will be pleasantly surprised by his reaction! How exciting! YAY!

 

CONGRATULATIONS!!! This will be a roller coaster ride, but after twins, it can't possibly be any crazier!! I'm sure your DH will be so excited, too! Just take a deep breath, a hot bath, and it will all work out.


Nicole
P.S. Don't forget to post how DH responds!!

 

CONGRATS!!! Now THAT is a miracle of God!!! Take it as so. I know that you are really freaking out right now thinking how the h*ll are we going to do this with twins but it will be fine. Just think how easy it will seem to have only ONE newborn at a time. Also, don't worry so much about dh's reaction. It took BOTH of you to get pg so it can't be all that much of a shock unless you were on the pill?? My OB told me that pull out will not be enough anymore and that many women after a fertility pregnancy have a much better chance to get pregnant on their own. Just give yourself a couple of days if you need to to come and accept it before you approach dh. It will be ok. Like many pp said, deep breaths. Just think, you have life inside you again. That is soooooooo exciting!!! Good Luck.

Definitely! You said you used IVF due to (apparent) male infertility, right? So how could he not take this as a source of pride?!

Congrats -- as everyone said, take some long deep breaths, go look at your darling babies, and think about how much love and fun another will bring!

 

CONGRATULATIONS!!! Like pp said, God wouldn't give you more then you can handle!! Dh is going to be real happy!

 

Congrats!!! I cant imagine how you are feeling right now! I am worried every month that I am pregnant so I would be freaking out too!!

 

Congratulations! We did IVF to get our girls because of male factor infertility too. When I went for my 6 week check-up the doctor told me I should be on birth control just in case, but I didn't do it. Now I'm thinking maybe I should! Although, my girls will be one in a couple of weeks, and I've started thinking about baby number three (or four)!

 

Wow! Congratulations on the wonderful news!
We've been waiting to hear!

 

Wow Congrats! That is SO exciting. I would be so excited to be pregnant again, but DH isn't ready yet. So I know I'd be nervous about telling him, but I just know your DH is going to be so excited once the shock wears off. Just take a deep breathe and think you still have 8 more months to prepare for this.

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! CONGRATS!!! I hope this happens for us too!!!

SO EXCITED FOR YOU!!!

All I can think about is how I am going to manage with 3 babies. How will I go out? Just when the girls will be able to walk and get in the stroller on their own, it won't be any easier because I will have a newborn to carry around too. How will I fit 3 carseats in the car? We'll have to get another car, and I don't know what kind. How will I have enough energy to get the girls around? It's hard enough as it is. They are heavy and need a lot of attention. I already worry about them getting enough attention. Now they have to split me 3 ways. It isn't fair. What about playgroups? Will I have a newborn with me when we go? Will my new mom friends abandon me now that I have such a handful?

I know this is a blessing but these are the thoughts running through my head right now. I don't know how I'm going to handle this.

I can't tell my dh now. He is doing his boss's job for the next 3 months as well as his own while she is on maternity leave, plus he is taking a really hard class. This would burden him right now. He would be happy he knocked me up but this is the worst timing. We should've been more careful but I guess we thought it wouldn't happen, and we never thought through the specifics.

 

Congrats! I am so happy for you. I'm sure he will be thrilled, and don't worry, everything will work out.

 

It will be ok!! AND CONGRATS!!!!!

So the babies willbe so much more self-sufficient in 9 mos. You will feel less burdened taking them out and you already have a great stroller and you will just have to get a fabulous sling to use for the newbie!!! If you can figure out twins you can certainly figure out another!!!!

 

Just remember that the babies will be almost 9 months older than they are now... 9 months is a HUGE difference in children! I remember when I found out we were preg, again, I kept invisoning the boys the way they were at that moment and adding a newborn. It won't be like that, don't worry!

Did I misread or are you going to wait 3 months before you tell DH? Are you sure that is wise? That is 3 less months for him to prepare for the new one... You don't need to worry about the car, car seats, and all that for quite a while. Just enjoy this new little life and the blessing it will be, for both of you!

 

Congrats on your pregnancy. It was Feb.13 of last year when I found out I was expecting #3. The girls were 7.5 months old. I wrapped up the test and gave it to DH for Valentines Day.

Your DH will be so excited...wonderful news for your whole family. Just think how great it will be to have all 3 kids grow up so close together!
Take care.
Sue

 

First off congrats on the new baby coming. it will all work out just find. We were not ready either when I found out I was pregnat,But we just dealt with it and then we found out twins that was nuts. I now have 5 children. I never thought I would have that many. But I do know you need to tell your husband. He will be happy. maybe not at first, but after the holy crap wears off he will be happy. My husband would have been very upset with me if I didn't tell him.Best of luck to you and your family.

 

Congratulations. IMO Ihope you change your mind and tell him. You may think you are burdening him, but he may think why did she keep this from me.

 

Take a deep breath, deeper.... even deeper....

Ok, you will be fine. It can be hard going out with all 3, but not impossible to find things to do or places to go. My DS was 13 mons when the twins arrived and there are days that I feel like there is not enough of me to go around. But then, I will just lay on the floor and all 3 will pile on top in a dog pile and we all just giggle like mad. The house is a disaster, I may not have done my hair, but I am rolling around on the floor with my three sweeties loving my life and every penny-pinching moment of it.

Your life adapts, the car issue is such a small problem...one you need to share...

Your DH needs to know, IMHO you should never keep something like this from your partner in life. He might see it not as a burden, but as a real joy.

 

Congratulations!!!
I got pregnant with my twins the same time you are now. I have one 23 mo old and 8 mo twins. There are good and bad days but I wouldn't trade it for a thing. Yes, going out with all three of them is hard. Yes, it is a pain with three car seats in one car. Yes, it is hard to split yourself three ways. But the bottom line is...It is so worth it! And you can do it! It will be so fun when they are a little older and close in age. I am so thrilled for you. You will have to twll us what hubby says! Congrats again!!!

 

CONGRATS, and take a deep breath...it is great!!! AND it is about time you let us all know...i have only checked the post 3000 times today YAY, YAY, YAY!!! It is so exciting!!!

 

CONGRATS!!!!

Ok so I know you are worried but you can handle it, you really can! It takes adjustment to get used to 3 but you will. You will be able to lug all 3 around. I hope you do change your mind and tell dh, just my opinion here and you can totally ignore me but I think he would be more mad if you knew and kept it from him. He needs time to adjust to this as well. if you tell him then both of you can plan for the future together. What a blessing this is...I know it seems like a lot but you will make it, I promise you, you will get through it. CONGRATS again

 

Just had to add, Im cracking up here , I just looked back at the other thread and there were over 1800 views and 60 something responses...now that is funny !

 

Let me join the party and also say "Congratulations!!"
Don't wait too long to tell your DH. Yes, it'll be a shock to him but it's been one to you. You should share this together and enjoy the news together too. Good luck with the talk!

 

what totally wonderful news - do share w/ DH, (i'm sure he'll be so proud that his guys have done the business ...).

CONGRATULATIONS!

 

I understand why you would be freaking out, but this really is a miracle! Okay, we are minivan shopping right now (from what I have read, that would be your best bet with 3) you can find really nice used ones for fairly inexpensive. Taking them out - in the beginning I would think putting the twins in a stroller and then the new baby in a sling or bjorn would work well. (I still put mine in slings and they're 9 months) so that would work for you for a while. You could even "wear" the baby at home - as most infants sleep better "on" their Mommy's so that way you could interact with your twins while bonding with your newborn at the same time!

I am sure you are scared and I don't think anyone on this board blames you. I am still shell shocked from my twins but I have changed my mind *yet again* and want to try for one more.

I am not sure how your twins are doing at this point but month 6 & 7 were tough for us with not sleeping through the night, reflux and teething (oh, the teething!) but if it is any consolation, 9 months is fantastic. I can see a HUGE difference in just 3 more months, so seeing what pp have said about the difference in 9 months makes sense.

Take deep breaths and try not to be terrified but remember what a wonderful thing conception (and unassisted at that!) is. Think of that tiny baby with it's tiny beating heart inside you just growing away. Think about the first time you saw your twins faces the day they were born - you get to have that moment again!! I think your DH will take it a little better than you think. If it were 3 days that's one thing, but 3 months is an ENTIRE trimester!! I am excited for you and praying for you! Keep us updated!
