    Well, 6 weeks ago we did the deed without any protection (our first time EVER) and batta bing, batta boom, prego.  I'm dumbfounded.  I was just at the doctor last week and he told me because of luteal phase dysfunction I would need to take Clomid to get pregant (I even have a precription in my car).  Plus, my friends at work tried for months, some even years and still nothing.

    Now, I am an emotional rollercoaster about the recent news.  I am of course, elated.  It is our first child, we're getting married in four weeks, own a beautiful home in a neighborhood with lots of kids, and have good jobs.  However, I also have some feelings of doubt/regret that this happened one month too soon.

    Wow, that is a big surprise to take in so soon before you wedding!!  Give yourself time to adjust to this huge news.  You will no doubt end up thrilled with your baby and it is great you conceived so easily.  By your wedding you will technically be 12 weeks pregnant, but hopefully won't be showing at all (although your breasts might be!).  I am kind of surprised your doc didn't know you were pregnant?

    CONGRATS!!

    Congrats! That is amazing that it happend so fast! I know it doesn't seem like the right time with the wedding next month, but it happened, so it must be! You could even not tell anyone till after the wedding and no one would be the wiser. Enjoy everything!

    Well that is life for you. Things rarely work out in just the way we hope. But congratulations! On the plus side, at least you don't have to deal with fertility issues!

    Congrats!!!

    First of all, congrats!!  ...especially if it was supposed to be difficult for you to conceive.  It's possible that you would have tried for years and not had any luck.  But instead, you happened to do the deed at just the right time, and now you're going to have a baby. 

    Were you planning on trying for kids right after the wedding anyways?  What is the cause of your regret then?  ...is it religious?  ...or just the idea that the "right" way to do things is to get pregnant after the wedding?  Either way, I think now is the time to focus on making the best possible home for your child (and it sounds like you're well on your way to that already!).  ...and hey, you won't even be showing at your wedding :-)

    Just a little bit of regret about timing.  I'm worried about being way more concerned about the pregnancy and not enjoying the wedding day.  And once people do the math, having others judge!

    I am a nurse, and we learned in nursing school that ambivalence is very common especially when you first find out you are pregnant. You are far from alone in feeling this way. Congratulations!!!

    Even when you have planned and hoped for it and the timing is perfect, finding yourself pregnant is a bit of a shocker. Suddenly you realize what a huge deal it is to have a baby! Your feelings are totally normal. The last month before the wedding is stressful anyway, plus now you get bonus pregnancy hormones to deal with. As for people doing the math and judging ... well, you can't help that, unfortunately. Some people just live to find fault with others. If it wasn't this, you can be sure it woud be something else.

    This baby is a miracle, an early wedding gift. Hug that thought to yourself on your wedding day.

    Wow, congratulations! As someone once told me, "babies will come when they will come" and there isn't much else you can do about it! Everything will work out fine, but it's totally normal to be a little shocked at first.

    You wont be showing at all by 12 weeks.  Thats when I went the the dr for the first time, they wouldnt even let me go to the dr until then.  Just enjoy the wedding and just tell people you got pregnant on the honeymoon!  No one is going to add it up exactly!

    Congratulations!

    Honestly, if you are concerned about what other think, don't tell anyone until after the wedding!

    congrats!  honestly, lots of us, even if we were already married & TTC get surprised at the "ambivalence" when we get our BFP...it is a big change and your hormones are already going haywire!  I'm sure in the long run, you will feel so blessed that you were able to get pregnant without Clomid...also, sorry if unsolicited, but I would seriously consider a new doctor...everyone is too "drug happy" these days!  my friend paid for IVF for her 1st and thought she needed it for her 2nd, but she got pregnant naturally and was in TOTAL shock...didn't even suspect that was why she felt bad, bc her doc had convinced her she couldn't conceive naturally!  Best wishes now and in the future, and just give yourself a few days (and maybe even tears!) to process the news!

    We felt the same way as you.  We thought it would take a whole lot longer, so our honeymoon baby definitely caught us off-guard!  It took about 10 weeks for me to sort through the feelings and get on-board... but now I can't imagine life any other way!

    Thank you so much for the supportive comments!  Whenever I feel a little "imbalanced" coming back to this thread will surely help!

    Don't worry what others think! You don't have to tell everyone until after the wedding and no one is going to think anything negative they are just going to be excited for you!

    Congrats!

    We weren't anticipating getting pregnant for at least 7 more months than when we did, so I can definitely relate to the mixed feelings, even thought I felt prepared for a child beforehand. You and your FI will definitely run the gamut of emotions during the course of the pregnancy, including both extreme happiness and even mourning the loss of your pre-baby life.  Don't worry about feeling however you do and do your best to work through it. Make sure to enjoy the pregnancy and your wedding as well!! Congrats!

    Don't worry about other people doing the math!  Or if you are, then tell them the due date is one month later.  People won't say anything about the baby being born "early."  But really, if you were anticipating having problems conceiving, then NO ONE should judge you, they should be happy for you!  It's great news!  Congratulations!!

    Wow it is truly a blessing that you got pregnant without having to take any kind of medication! Congrats to you and I am sure everything will be just fine! I am about 6 months along now and we have barely even begun the process of planning the wedding. :)

    The exact same thing happened to us! I was off the pill and we were going to start trying on our honeymoon. The one time we got lazy and didn't use protection we were pregnant, 6 weeks before our wedding. 

    I felt the same way you do...It seemed very surreal and with the heightened hormones i was a complete stress ball trying to get ready for the wedding and thinking about the baby. I dealt with it by pushing baby stuff out of my head and focusing on the wedding. I would catch my mind daydreaming about the baby and just keep forcing it back out. It got me through the big day but my only regret was that I almost couldn't wait for the wedding to be over with so that I could start letting the focus be on the baby. That being said...On my wedding day, it felt so special to know that it was not only the start of our marriage but also the start of our family. 

    Congratulations and just remember that its so much better that it happened this way than if you all had to struggle for years to try to conceive. It didn't take any one long to figure out we were pregnant before our wedding but our family was all too excited to worry about that aspect. 

    Best of luck! Enjoy your wedding and know that you will have plenty of time after to focus on the pregnancy and getting ready for the baby!
