When my husband and I got married I knew that I wanted children but I didn’t want to have them right away. I wanted to spend time with just my husband before we spoke about having children. After seven months of marriage my husband enlisted into the Air Force; while he was away at technical school we decided that we wanted to begin trying.
After two long years of trying, I finally got pregnant. My husband and I were so excited on the exterior but I was secretly nervous. Looking back, I am not sure that I was really ready to become a mother, even after it had taken so long to get pregnant. One month after having found out I was expecting, I suffered a devastating miscarriage. I was so heartbroken and could not understand why I was going through

Shortly after arriving, I went to see my primary care manager to begin the process of fertility treatments; however this process was wrought with difficulty. I would make an appointment but time after time I would have to cancel it for whatever reason. Finally, in July I noticed that I was late but I did not know for sure if I wasn’t pregnant. At the time my husband was getting ready to go to town to pick up a few things so I asked if he would get a pregnancy test; I told him not get excited because I feared it would be negative. So many times I thought I was pregnant only to take the test for it to say I was not. Once my hubby returned home I immediately took the test and within seconds the result showed. I couldn’t believe my eyes, I ran into the living room and asked my husband if he was seeing it as well; he assured me that he also saw the positive sign. To make absolutely sure the test was accurate we went to town and got a test that actually says pregnant or not pregnant. All the way to the store, and back home again I had butterflies and could hardly quit smiling. I was trying as hard as I could not to get my hopes up but it was impossible. Not wanting to wait until morning I went ahead and took one of the tests and sure enough it said PREGNANT in big letters. I ran out of the bathroom and showed my
I read The Pregnancy Project by Gaby Rodriguez. The book is about how Gaby overcame stereotypes and expectations put on her when she faked her pregnancy for a senior project as a social experiment to see how her peers would react. I enjoyed reading this book because Gaby wrote in such a way that I would find myself thinking of past experiences that could relate with what she was talking about. After I read, “One of the best things a role model can do is show how to get through the tough times and live a good life despite setbacks and hardships, because nobody gets through this life without scars along the way.” (Rodriguez 206), a lot of thoughts came to mind. One of the first thoughts came to my mind was my role model and how even though he went through a lot of tough times he changed his attitude and lives a good life. I also thought about myself and how even though I might me having the worst day I should always be the best that
Daniel and I knew from the moment we met we wanted to spend the rest of our lives together. You could say it was love at first sight. As unbeleivable as it may be we knew when we met we wanted to have a family together ASAP! Through "trying" naturally Dan and I were unsuccessfull in the first 6 months, at this point we figured rather be safe than sorry and reached out to a reproductive endrocrologist for assistance. Since then in 2011 it has been 5 years of unsuccesfully trying for a child. Without getting into the details we have done 12 medicated procdures totalling thousdands of dollars over the years with no success. Our most recent try was this past month (November 2015) which also was unsuccessfull.
Fall of 2016 started off with football games, getting accepted to UA’s New College Life Track program, and I finding out that I was pregnant. Even though my boyfriend John, and I are not married we were still excited and ready for this new chapter in our lives. Living with endometriosis it is very hard if at all possible to get pregnant. We were in shock. Everything was normal with my body and I had been taking my birth control reguraly. There was no thought of being preganent I felt a little strange like something was off but I wasn’t feeling sick. Once I went to the doctor they told me I was six weeks preganent. Again, we were surprised but but happy for this new adventure. A few months passed and we went for an update, by then I was at
Mainstream literature has primarily sidelined the topic of prenatal fatherhood, presenting the analysis of this time for a man to the academic world but generally neglecting the populous. This creates a separation for men from the information they may need to assist their partners and deal with their own anxieties and emotional/psychological growth. The inaccessibility of this material is the cause for many men to be ill prepared during this transitional period.
As the due date for my period approached and passed, I had a feeling that it wasn’t going to be coming this month or any months in the near future. I had no real reason to have this feeling but I could tell something was different so, at two days late, I decided I would take a pregnancy test. After taking it, two lines popped up instantly. Two blue lines told me that my life was about to change. Two solid, blue lines told me I was going to be a mother whether I liked it not. My boyfriend didn’t believe me so instead of spending winter break having fun
Parents of the ninth grade girls. Over the summer your daughters made a pregnancy pact on social media. A pregnancy pact is when a pact of women who all agree to get pregnant in high school to give each other emotional support.

So you’ve planned a baby, or maybe found out you are pregnant and it wasn’t exactly on the ‘to do’ list.
Imagine getting married to the love of your life, knowing from the day that you first laid eyes on him that he was the one that was going to father the children that you would have in the coming years. Three months after having the wedding of your dreams, you find out you are pregnant after two years of trying to conceive and you could not be happier.
