I'm pregnant. I am almost two months sober, I was on birth control. This is a total shock. 30 years old and I have never ever been pregnant or had even a pregnancy scare. I told my sister. Just got it confirmed at doctor. I haven't told my boyfriend yet. I think he will be happy but really freaked out. I'm terrified. I really don't know what to do. In going to keep the baby. Holy s**t you guys.

What a shocker! But glad it's a good shock for you. Wow what a gift from sobriety. X

I think it's good. I'm 30. Not the most stable financially but it's never the perfect time I guess. I just couldn't decide if I wanted kids. I guess God or the Universe decided for me. I'm really scared but I will do my best with this. It is another good reason to stay sober. But I stay sober for myself first. Hopefully I can calm down. Ugh. I'm really just not sure what to think.

Not only are you sober, but now you are going to have a little family! This is the start of a whole new life, one filled with happiness and firsts!

Congrats! That happened to me too. I chalked it up to Gods will.
FYI it's never the perfect time

Hi BJ. Congratulations, and I'm so glad you've been sober 2 mos. When I found out I was pregnant I'd been drinking quite steadily, & was so afraid of birth defects (fetal alcohol syndrome). It turned out ok, but was scary. You won't have to worry about that!

Jane FANTASTIC. Gotta a name yet?

Tamerua

Same thing happened to me, although younger. Twelve years later, I am amazed at the young person. That he is. Congratulations!

Lyoness

Congratulations BabyJane! What a bright gift of life in the midst of the struggles you've been navigating with your family. From what I've read on here, I think you're going to be a fantastic Mom!

Midlifecrisis

Same. I was 21 (22 when i had him) and he is now 12. (Plus there's another 4 where he came from!)

Congratulations BabyJane! Ever heard the expression "God works in mysterious ways"?.....

I'm sure the shock will wear off! What a blessing for you and your boyfriend. The best thing is you'll remember every moment of this magical time because you're sober!

Congratulations BJ!
Relieved for both you and the baby, that you've been sober for two months. When is this little bundle of joy due to arrive ?

BabyJane

I don't know the due date yet I have to call the doctor and schedule a prenatal exam first. I did go to Planned Parenthood today and they confirmed that I am pregnant, but that was all. I told my boyfriend. He was very calm and I'm glad because I sure have not been calm today.

BabyJane

Thank you all for your support. Like I said, I am excited but really scared. I don't know if I'm fit to be a mom. I feel like I could prepare myself but I don't feel that immediate bond or anything - I feel like my body is being taken over by an alien. Lol
