Re: Clicky poll: Imagine you find out you're pregnant

  • Freaking out- I'm totally not ready for a kid right now!

  • I'd be thrilled, actually, even though I'm 100% on the fence about having kids. Why? And, yes, I know this may sounds insane--- Because the worst part of this for me is making the damn decision! I've sometimes wished I'd either, 1., find out I can't have children or 2., get pregnant on accident. Since there's no great way to find out #1 without making the decision to try for kids and I'm an excellent contraceptor, neither is likely to happen.

    At 32 with a stable job and marriage, I wouldn't have an abortion (in most circumstances) so the worst part (the deciding) would be over for me and I could focus on the excitement of having a kid!

  • The timing couldn't possibly be much worse (everything is relative, yo, clearly I'm not a teenager or in an uncommitted relationship), but I want another baby like yesterday, so I would be excited. Kevin will make an amazing dad one day (and really, already is). 

  • I would FREAK out.  Besides the fact that it would mean having G and baby #2 so close together (I don't think I could handle that!) and the financial aspect would be a nightmare (daycare for 2 babies? no thanks), I would feel like we were taking away from G's babyhood by having another one so soon. 
    At the same time, I'd be happy because we do want another baby eventually--just not now.

  • I was just in this boat -- test was negative, but I was definitely freaking out. Not like upset freaking out, just that it would have been an unplanned event and physically I haven't prepared for that.

  • I would be 99% excited, 1% worried that DH wouldn't be excited because the "plan" is to get pregnant in like 6 months...

  • At this point, it would be take a whole bunch more hoping the first one was right.

    I would be excited, but this.

  • Well with H on the other side of the world I would have some explaining to do, lol. However if I found out after my trip I would be upset that H wouldn't be here for most of the pregnancy but I would would still be excited. Everyone at work thinks there isn't enough birth control in the world to keep me from coming back with out being pregnant. I hope they are wrong I want to start trying in 2013, after H gets back and we have some time with just us again.
  • I would freak the F out.  We have had a very stressful year, and adding an unplanned pregnancy to the mix would be pretty bad.  This poll makes me want to get DH snipped, like yesterday (which we will be doing as soon as we get our tax return).
  • I wouldn't be excited, but I wouldn't be pissed either.  I'd probably think it was meant to be and just go with it.

  • Freak out. Coincidentally the OB/GYN mistakenly said "We are pregnant" and NOT "We are ready" when I was at my appointment 2 weeks ago. I thought I would have an asthma attack and I do not have asthma.

  • I don't like change.  AT ALL. If you can't tell.  Any sort of big change kind of has to be forced upon me. I am Miss Safety. It is nearly impossible for us to get pregnant. Ask Snowful, she has heard of my insane birth control methods.  If it DID accidentally happen I would probably feel like it was meant to be.  Freaked out. Extremely freaked out.

    I agree with most of this, after I'm done freaking out of course!  I don't think I want to have kids, but sometimes I think that if I was to get pregnant, I would prefer it to be accidentally so I don't have to decide. I hate making decisions, especially one of this magnitude.
