    1.When did you find out you were pregnant? And what’s your due Date?- Found out when I was 4 weeks pregnant (1-2 by the clearblue digi test) and my due date was 20th Feb 2010 (ended up being 4 days overdue)

    2.When did you tell people?- I told people straight away because I was so excited!

    3.Describe your feelings when you first saw the positive HPT.- My first HPT was an internet cheapie which I thought was a negative, I threw it in the bin after 3 minutes. A few hours later I looked at the packed instructions and it was a 5 minute test, so even though you shouldn't I got it out of the bin and there was a very light positive. I then took 6 more one after the other and timed the 5 minutes exactly and they all had a faint positive. Was a bit excited but didn't believe it until I took a digi test the next morning! It was the longest time ever waiting for the test to develop! I was so happy to see the words pregnant that I wanted to ring everyone I knew right away, even though it was 6am hehe!

    4.What first trimester pregnancy symptoms did you have if any?- I didn't have any symptoms really, just one whole day of sickness and that was it!

    5.What first change in your body did you notice during pregnancy? Which trimester did this change happen?- Sore boobs at around 6 weeks pregnant.

    6.Is this your first pregnancy?- Yes

    7.How many children do you have now and how many do you intend on having down the road?- It was my first baby, I will have at least one more, I wouldn't mind having 3 altogether but probably no more than that.

    8.How old are you (Or if you don’t feel comfortable sharing, just pick an age group ie: 20-25, 25-30 etc.)- I was 20 when I got pregnant, I turned 21 when I was 20 weeks pregnant.

    9.What comments have people made about your pregnancy that have really upset or annoyed you?- One of my friends was turning 21 and she created an even on Facebook for her birthday and invited all our friends except me. I asked why I was not invited and she said that she said " I didn;t bother inviting you because your pregnant so you wouldn't be able to come anyway" umm, just because Im pregnant does not mean I cant have a social life. It really upset me and certain friends continued to arrange evenings out in front of me and not even bother to invite me! It was very frustrating, but I learnt who my real friends are during my pregnancy and now that my baby is born!

    10.What comments have people made about your pregnancy which made you really happy?-My good friends telling me how I will make an amazing mum when I was in a panic! I also had a friend that was so truly happy for me and even though there weren't any specific comments but she always made me feel so good about being pregnant and becoming a mum!

    11.Do you intend on having a natural birth or using pain relief? (Of course this may change come time to delivery, but just for now… where do you stand?)- I did plan on having a natural birth and it is exactly what I got! My birth when exactly to plan and I loved it!

    12.Do you plan on being a stay at home mom postpartum, or do you plan to return to work shortly after?- My get paid maternity leave for 39 weeks. I will be going back as soon as it ends in November, however I have been into works a few times to help out. I really miss working because I love my job! Although being a mum is a much better job! Hehe!

    13.When did you belly pop and you became obviously pregnant?… if not there yet, just put N/A.- I didn't really "pop" until 27/28 weeks! I kept waiting and waiting for the bump, I was so worried people though I was just fat! I knew I had finally popped when people started asking about the baby etc.

    14.If you have started shopping for your baby, what was the first thing you bought?- The first thing I bought was a moses basket, I got it not long after I found out I was pregnant. The only reason I got it so early is because it was an absolute bargain! Im also not superstitions!

    15.Did or are you finding out the sex of your baby?- I wanted to find out and my husband didn't! But I got my way, as I am so impatient that I had to know! We were having a girl!

    16.When you first found out you were pregnant, did you hope for 1 sex over the other?- I did want a girl, although I would have been happy either way I was swaying towards a girl!

    17.Do you plan on breastfeeding or formula feeding the baby when born?- I was adamant I was going to BF and I refused to buy any bottles or formula when getting all of the babies things ready. However, I didn't anticipate how difficult it was going to be and when Karyad was born I had a lot of difficulty. Long story short, after two days in hospital trying to get it right I gave her a bottle of formula, it broke my heart. When I went home I expressed on demand for 2 weeks, not long after 2 weeks my supply started to slow down and eventually dissapeared. Whenever I get upset about her having formula I always remind myself that she had breastmilk for two week

    Source(s): even though it was from a bottle so it was better than no breastmilk at all! 18. Have you decided on a name(s) for your baby?- I had my girls name picked out even before I met my husband, moved in, got married and even decided TTC! Im from South Wales in the UK, so the first language used to be Welsh and cariad means "my love" in welsh. I wanted to make it a bit different though, so I changed the C to a K and the I to a Y and got Karyad! :) 19. What advice would you give to woman TTC or first time moms to be?- The best advice for all TTC ladies is relax and trying not to become consumed in TTC! Easier said than done I know, but as soon as I chilled out, stoped charting and stopped making BD'ing a chore, we conceived the first month of taking a break! :) 20. Did you enjoy my question? If so, please star my question!!!-- 1 star for you! :)

    1. I found out I was pregnant April 15 at 3:17pm. My due date is December 25, 2010.

    2. I still haven't told everybody. My parents knew the day after I took the test. my boyfriend knew right away (he left me the next day). My best friend was there when I got the phone call from the doctors office. Occasionally I'll be talking to someone at some random place and they'll be going on about how excited they are about their pregnancy and I'll share the news.

    3. Feelings... hmmm... the moment they told me, it felt like someone had punched me in the stomach as hard as they could. I couldn't breath. I fell to the ground and felt so alone.

    4. Very first was a missed period ;) after that it was morning sickness... ucky, UCKY morning sickness!

    5. The first change... well, I'm not that far along, but I've started to notice a little tiny bump where the baby is when I lay down, suck in my tummy, and feel for a baby. It's pretty cool, and I wasn't sure that's what it was, but when I went in the doc said it is :D I'm still in my first tri.

    6. Sure is!

    7. I have the tadpole and that's it. lol. maybe eventually I'll have a total of three, but we'll see how this pregnancy goes. ;)

    8. I am 16 years old! 7 wks 5 days pregnant; I don't regret my decision to keep my baby, but I wish I would have waited!

    9. Not too many people know, but occasionally someone will make a comment about how Im going to have a wellfare baby, or I should have kept my legs closed. stuff like that puts me over the top! if these people knew HALF of what they thought they did they would keep their mouths SHUT!

    10. That I'm going to be faced with challenges, but in the end I'm going to be a great mother.

    11. I'm planning on doing it natural. I figure if my momma could do it, I can do it!

    12. I have to go back to work :( Someone's gotta support baby, and I refuse to let it be the government!

    13. N/A... Can't wait for it though!

    14. I bought a little shirt that I hung in my locker at school that says, "I love my mommy!" and I taped a sonogram picture next to it.

    15. ABSOLUTELY!!!! counting the DAYS until that appointment!

    16.I can't decide if I was a boy or girl. lol.

    17. breastfeeding all the way! even going to work I've read that you can breast feed all night, and then the baby isn't hungry as much during the day.

    18. maybe Jedidiah or Gavin if it's a boy. If it's a girl I'll name her Jordan, Taylor, or Kayla... I think. lol. still deciding.

    19. I really don't have any... I wasn't trying to get pregnant, but it happened. I have no "techniques" lol.

    20. I did I did I did!

    Source(s): 16 years old and 7 wks 5 days pregnant. I don't regret my decision to keep my baby, but I wish I'd have waited.

    1. January 4th and due date is September 11th.

    2. When we found out. I'm not a patient person so I couldn't wait!

    3. I was thrilled and relieved. This is our second baby but we had been trying for almost a year to get pregnant at that point.

    4. Horrible morning sickness(like I did with my son), fatigue, and breast tenderness.

    5. Breast enlargement in my first trimester.

    6. No.

    7. We have a two year old already.

    8. 25.

    9. None so far.

    10. That I look good!

    11. I'm having a scheduled C-section since I had one with my son.

    12. I'm currently a SAHM with my son and will continue to be one once our daughter is here.

    13. I was showing some at 13 weeks with this one and had a belly by 16 weeks.

    14. Car seat, diapers, and wipes. Now that we know the gender we've bought some clothing as well.

    15. Yes, we're having a little girl this time around.

    16. I did not care this time, just wanted a healthy baby.

    17. Hopefully breastfeeding.

    18. Ava Grace.

    19. For TTC - relax and enjoy it. I know we can get so worked up and obsessive over the whole process but with both my pregnancies the minute I stopped focusing so much on TTC and started focusing more on enjoying my husband was when I wound up pregnant. For first timers - Cherish every single moment. They go by way too quickly!

    20. Yes. :)
