So was the baby a surprise or was it planned???????

I go first - a complete surprise and totally unplanned and took me quite a while to accept it.. but boy am I glad now that I get to have my own little bean.. :) Ritu replied. Hi,

Ours was planned. Just like Radhika, we had been married for 6 years and realised there would never be a perfect time. It took us 2-3 months before I got pregnant. When I found out I wasn't excited at all, infact was a bit terrified and felt really weird. It took me a bit of time to come to terms with it, as I never was too fond of kids and never ever picked up anyone else's kids.

What gave me satisfaction was that my husband was really happy and I was relieved that atleast one of us was sure of this being the right thing.I know this might sound silly atleast that's what many girls around me felt about my reaction.

Now with only 3 weeks to go, I still keep having mixed feelings. Sometimes I really have strong feelings for the baby and at other times I don't feel anything at all.

But one thing I am sure of is that everything will be great after we have the bay. I also know it will be now two babies for all of us , our husbands and the little one .

All the best to everyone - Ritu



Radhika replied. Hey girls..

Hope everybody is doing fine. In our case it was planned. We've been married for over 6 years and been together nearly 9 years. Finally, finally realized that theres never going to be the \";perfect\"; time.

Getting pregnant was easy, so am very grateful to God!! Really looking forward to being parents now (of course are very intimidated as well.)

Btw, is it just me, or is anyone else very tired of being pregnant by now????

Take care!!

Radhika Vindhya replied. Avi,

I got married last January and my husband was away till May. I always wanted to have a baby, and was never on any contraceptive. But, it took us 10 months to get pregnant. I missed my cycle on March 22nd and had a feeling that I would be pregnant(I had slight back ache). So, waited for 6 days just incase it was a false alarm or something. On march 28th, I did a pregnancy test and Voila! it came back positive. I was the happiest, and we have recorded the moment which I will cherish all my life.

So, do you tell this planned or un-planned? Whatever it is, I am happy for it.

While on this topic, are you planning to take birth control pills or any other contraceptive if you are not planning to have your second one right away?

Vindhya Priya replied. Ours was planned..went to the doc. in Jan, and come Feb., I was pregnant! ( of course I did'nt find out until first week of March. I suspect this one's a Valentine's Day gift!
Funny thing tho' is the EDD in November..you see both my husband and me have birthdays in November, and we're both Scorpios...if baby comes on time, then that's what he's going to be too ! So everyone around us has been asking us if we planned that too !! We did'nt...
Priya Simmi replied. Hi Avi. Lovely to know you had a surprise and that you are glad it happened at the right time!
Mine was planned, though hubby was more enthu about it, I was having mixed feelings, with regards to body being ready etc. Started having tabs and agreed to try and there it happened as soon as we started and didn't take a test for some time just to make sure I don't get wrong signs. And when I did, one test and I was convinced it has happened.
I'm sure all happens for the best.
Love, Simmi Arshiya replied. Hey, Good question!

We heard from friends that it would take you on average about 6 months to conceive. So, as soon as we moved into our new house in Nov, we thought of started planning in Jan. So we did, and booooom, I was pregnant in Feb. So, We were like wow this was quick. Because, first we had thought ok if start planning in January, we might conceive around April or May but second month not expected.
But, we were happy that it happened quickly than waiting for a long time and nothing would happen. I think that would be really sad.
