feeling stupid shocked and numb

**bockad** · 10-18-2005, 04:43 AM

I don't post much, but this blows me away.
Found out yesterday that I'm pregnant.
Here's the problem. first of all, I'm 40! Second, have been very careful! Third,we have 3 allready, 17-13-8. We were DONE. I am in denial, it hasn't really hit me yet. I know any child is a blessing, but this is blowing me away.
Did you guys slip me some water?????
Anyone can lend some support about this situation or advice on how to cope?
Thanks, diana

congrats...on the news...but I am sorry that this was not planned....I do hope all gets better as the shock wears off of you and your hubby....by the way...what does he think? did you have to pick him up off the floor after you did yourself...lol
Many Prayers for your family

First off CONGRATS!!!!!! Even though this child wasn't planned, I am sure he/she will be loved and it was meant to be.

Perhaps when this child is born, you can get your tubes tied or banded. I got mine banded when I was 30 and it's been great. It is reversable in case I change my mind (which I haven't lol)

Good luck and take care of the two of you

I really think that things happen for a reason. I am not a super religious person or anything, but I think God has a plan for everybody. So that child has a pretty important reason to come into this world. I got pregnant while on birth control before I turned 18 and I thought it was the end of the world. But the 1st time I felt my baby girl move, it was heaven! That totally changed the way I felt. And now she is 16 and I cannot imagine what life would have been like without her! You can't change things, all you can do is make the best of it. Once the shock wears off, you will be able to think more clearly and this baby will be a blessing. If not to you then maybe to another childless couple who has been waiting a long time for a baby. It will all work itself out. Good luck!

Congratulations. My youngest son came as a total surprise. My older kids are 19, 17, and 16. My youngest just turned 8 on Saturday. At first I felt resentful when I found out I was pregnant. I figured I would be in my mid-forties when all my other kids were done with school. Having my youngest was like starting over. I love him to death though and would die if anything happened to him.
