I think i'll be due around August 16th...

I haven't been to the doctor yet. I'll be 21 in April. I need someone to talk to... Going through SO much. I'm in a long distance relationship so it seems as though I may be alone for the majority of this pregnancy.

Im due on the 17th supposibly....i'll go to the doctor on the 26th. Welcome. Feel free to ask anything, this will be #2 for me. I'm sorry you'll be alone that's rough.

I haven't been to the doctor yet either. I took a home pregnancy test two days ago and it came out positive. According to the due date calculators online I'm due August 19. I'm also 21 and this is my first baby. My husband and I have been married alittle over 5 months and are still in school so this caused me to stress about financial issues especially finding out how much it cost without insurance. I can't believe how hard your situation must be. do you have good family to support you? If you need to talk I'm here.

I'm 20 and I found out this past weekend that I'm pregnant I haven't seen a doctor yet and it seems health care is a mission impossible. I'm a junior in college and the father and I aren't really close. This will be my first baby and according to the due date I got on line I will be due August 10 2007.At times I am very excited and happy and motivated, and at other times I'm so scared b/c I haven't told my mom yet and the father while supportive, doesn't seem so enthused about it. I'm just writing to let you girls know that you are not alone, I'm afraid too..but I think it gets better, atleast I hope!

Hi, I am 10 years older than u but this is my first baby.. I am happily married since December 2005. My problem is, my husband is NOT happy or excited about the fact that I am pregnant.. he thinks it is not the right timing yet. The reason why I let myself get prenant is my age and my desire to have a child. I have a quite good paid job and he is establishing our own cafe. It has been 3 weeks since I told him I was pregnant (I am in the 7th week) and he still havent shown any excitement. I know he will love the kid and that I have to give him some time, but I can see that the coming months wont be easy since I dont expect much of support from him... I do have a husband but I still have to do everything by myself.. go to the gynecologist, go to the labs for various tests, buy the supplements, he doesnt even ask me how I was doung or feeling, or what the doc said.. sometimes it makes me sad. Its like he blames me to get pregnant on purpose without asking him for permission....
Well I think for both of us it means : stay strong ! It gonne workout just fine

i'm due on august 21st this will be my third have a girl of 12 and a boy of 9 so quite a big age gap with this one, we're pleased though.

Well, am kindof in the same boat honey so dont worry. I am 24, this is my first baby and I cant tell any of my family. I have told my sister and she was like "oh dear" but she says she is in shock.

I had a long distance relationship but have moved to Norway about a month ago as I was always out here anyway. The problem being is that I am in my final year of uni so am finishing my studies out here which everyone thinks is a problem. No-one really gives a shite that Im happier or anything. But the fact is today Im not....Im about 5-6 weeks pregnant according to my due date from the first day of my last period.....

My boyfriend - the father - is bouncing between being happy about it and being so selfish its unreal. I am exhausted!!!!!!!!!! and was asleep when he came back from work at 9.30am for coffee (I got up and made his lunch for him at 7 - normally 6). He had a "dad talk" at me about how I should be writing 250 words a day for my dissertation and not sleeping. He cant seem to accept that I am knackered! If I am in a bad mood because Im tired or something suddenly it gives him a reason to be.

He rang me from work at about 3pm asking me if I wanted to go to the shops. I said no that I wanted him to come home first before going to the shops because I was lonely. He said if I come home then I will fall asleep and you will have to go and get the beers for tonight (he has 3 friends round drinking - talking in Norwegian and I dont have a clue so am confined to the bedroom). I said no and so he said right Im going to the shop then, I said well Ive done 500 words and read loads Im going to have a nap. He comes home, I lock the door - because you do that in england and he didnt want to put bags down to get his keys so I had to get up and open the door. He then states I hate that locking door business. Then turns around sees me getting back into bed and says "what the fuck is this?!" I was like are you joking?! So he drank 4 beers before then having an argument with me, me telling him that he should care what I think - cos he said he doesnt, I will lock the door when he isnt here and he mistook this for me saying that I wasnt going to let his friends in - he previously told me to fuck off to the bedroom if I didnt like the music - thinking I was locking his friends out he then says right I will call the police and have you thrown out. I then promptly burst into tears in the toilet.

I went out and bought cigerettes and had one. I dont see that Im going to get much support at all during this. He has these selfish moments where I just dont exist, my opinions dont matter, I dont live here really. He says he had loads of plans for the next few years - and as one pregnant lady has put here - I feel like its my fault I got pregnant even though he knew about contraception himself.

So I cant tell my family, my sister is unsupportive, Ive only told 2 of my friends, one of which is just saying the same as my sister and the other is over the moon.....so basically she is the only one but has enough problems of her own so Im basically lost.

So you are not alone mate.

Hey. I am in your same boat. I just found out I am pregnant. I will be 21 in February, and my boyfriend, though we live together now, will be going to active duty in the military and will be gone for the next four to five months. I know exactly what you are going through. If you need someone to talk to I have yahoo messenger, I know I will need someone too.

Hi.. I hope we can support each other then.. I think it would make us feel a bit better. Just another example how sellfish men can be, always thinking of themselves..not really realizing or even interested in how the partner feels. He said I destroyed his dream by "letting myself get pregnant" coz it was just not the right timing. I decided to take care of my pregnancy myself and try my best not to ask him for any support in any form and dont make a fuzz about the pregnancy thing but the results are, he simply forgets the fact that I am pregnant.. he seemed to be upset and dont understand if I am tired or bad mooded, and if I go with him on a bike ride he drives his motorbike the same way like if I wasnt on his back and doesnt care bout the pottholes, then he wonders why I got mad at him...
I wish u good luck for you and your baby.. maybe we can just stay in touch once in a while..

Hey again,

Well, he came home at 2.30am totally drunk and told me he loved me loads and then passed out. The next day we had a serious talk - well, I was being serious, he was just messing about, till I said maybe your not right dad material for the baby. I cant be with someone who does not respect the mother of his child. My opinion should and does matter. He then started saying well you had better decide soon because we need to sort out 50/50 custody and was being all macho like I dont care. Then all of a sudden, the truth finally emerges, he sits down on the bed (where I am lying) and tells me that he over reacted, he thought I was trying to tell him what to do but he knew that I wasnt deep down but had the scared feeling like someone was trying to control him.

Unfortunately, my partner has a number of scars and emotional issues from a previous relationship. He has one biological and one non-biological son from this relationship (she already had a the non-bio one for 6 months before he met her). She was a cow basically for many reasons. I am now dealing with the consequences of her actions - but I have been from the start of the relationship and he has come a long way since then.

It is so hard sometimes, being so emotional with these hormones and the tiredness....you just want them to stop thinking about themselves for 5 minutes and just sit down and give you a cuddle and be attentive. Men are weird creatures. But I guess we are in comparison. I think the differences are even more pronounced when we are pregnant.

He is being much better again, he went to the gym on Saturday and then apparently went and bought my xmas present - which I had said he didnt need to buy till my bday in January. He came home and was really sorry we had argued and that he had upset me and said he felt awful. He really did. I have to learn to remember that he has problems, sometimes I forget and then thats when the arguments happen.

But trust me, this will not be the only time - probably this month - that I get upset.

The only advice at this time that I can think of is that you try and get him to go to the dating scan (6-12 weeks) or if he wont go, get a picture and give it to him. My boyfriend has said that everything will change then probably, all the worries will go because he will see the baby.

Take care of yourself and speak soon
