    it was positive..WHAT??????????No way!!!!!!! I am still dumb/numb and can't believe it. I am 40, my husband is 52 and we already have 3 kids (one his, one mine and one together). We got married this June in the most romantic and beautiful way, we had a great honeymoon and..and..yes, i messed up. I was on Implanon for 3 years and it was terrible - i took it out after the honeymoon and been on a patch for 3 months..then i ran out of patches and thought i would skip a month and then restart..right..so it IS possible, though we were careful.Last couple of weeks have been really stresseful so i didn't even realize i was 2 weeks late when a coworker casually said we were having our periods at the same time and hers was in Nov 13th!!! That's when i realized..i went thome and took a test, shaking, and i just can't believe the resul. As soon as the liquid drops fell on the stick it immediatly showed the 2 stripes. I have no symptoms besides being crazy tired (nut i do run a house of 5, plus working full time..) and no period!!!!!No sensible breasts no nothing! Now what?? I have to go now, will write more about the dylema in awhile. Just asking: did you have no symptoms att all????????????

    i had no symptoms until i was 6-7 weeks and only then it was a weird gurgly tummy havent had sore nipples at all and my sickness started around 8 weeks. i would make an appointment to see your doctor and get them to confirm and go for there. as you are over 35 they will want to run extra tests anyway. but congratulations (even if it is a bit scary for you right now)

    @ChocolateLime: 

    thank you for your feedback. Just returned  from a meeting and felt sick, with stomach ache (nausea..)..guess i just don't want to admit it. Haven't had a proper talk with my husband yet. He was in shock and his first reaction told me he doesn't want the baby..i felt like hitting him hard in the face  Frown. I honestly don't know what i want. We're already a bedroom short as it is (and no, we can not move due to this terrible crisis), i am 40 and maybe not willing to go through all the sleepless nights and diaper changing again..BUT..i am feeling the wonder and the miracle all over again and in truth..deep down i know. Just don't want to go through hell and make our lives miserable because i want this baby and he doesn't...

    whilst i agree it is a desicion you have to come to together i have also experienced friends who decided to abort because their partners didnt want the baby and they ended up resenting the desicion and their partners. you still have some time to decide what is best for your situation. Im sure there will be people who tell you you should have been more carefull and are 100% pro life but in your situation it is a hard desicion to make. Im not sure of the ages of your current children but you will likely have extra hands to help which will make things easier for you both. A the moment you are both in shock. Take time to talk through all the pros and cons and make a rational desicion. Dont rush your choice.

    I had no symptoms until about 2 months after my pee stick came back positive.  Your husband may not want the baby because it's such a shock but if my husband said that I would probably punch him in the balls.  It all depends on your belief and what you are comfortable with, and while I agree with abortions when the health of the mother is at risk or some other reasons for me life is precious.  Take time to really think about this, you don't want to regret your decisions for the rest of your life.  Good luck and best wishes to you.

    @ChocolateLime:  again, thank you so much for the feedback. I won't follow the "should have been more careful "line as it's too obvious and it doen't really matter now. Yes, i know we need to talk . What's also making me feeling worse is that we lost my husband's wonderful mother this year.I don't want to go through another terrible loss..what if this child had her amazing green eyes and laughter? We could name her (..) after my MIL..see what's on my mind? My head's spinning.......

    The kids are 20, 12 and 5 years old. I am sure i would get lots of help from my 12 years old. Also, i KNOW my 20 years old stepson would go crazy with the idea of having another baby in the house..he reacted really bad when his dad told him i was pg with our little one. It's a HUGE decision we have to make......

    @Rivendeler:  I can't imagine being in your position right now. I think if you have ANY doubts about terminating the pregnancy then you shouldn't go through with it. I have a friend who went through something similar. She had an abortion and even a few years later she couldn't be around babies or talk about anything baby related without bursting into tears because she regretted it so much. I also think your husband is probably reacting out of fear and not necessarily thinking about the end result (men tend to do that!).

    Every single child is a miracle and in my opinion, worth any inconvenience they may cause. I bet the second your little baby is born, your husband will forget any doubts he ever had about whether or not to keep him/her. =)

    @As_You_Wish:  Thank you. You made my heart melt Laughing. Actually when we talked about it, there were tears in HIS eyes and a foolish smile..but he's also going through major stress levels work related so i can see why he's worried..
