    what is your reaction? My co-worker asked me this today and after thinking about it, I think I would be shocked and scared at first, but then happy and excited now that I am married. If it was before my marriage, I probably would have cried and been like shit shit shit!!!

    Well, right now I would be running around screaming "SHIIIIIIIIIT" but I think in the end I would be excited.  We want to wait a few years, and I just want more time with DH before having a baby -- I am not quite ready to share him with anyone else just yet. ;-)

    I was really excited & happy! DH and I were trying but hadn't been trying long... I'm not ever one to jump up and look at baby stuff though. lol

    Haha I'd be in the "Shit" camp but now that we're married it wouldn't be a total calamity. Just not in our immediate plans.

    I said the "OMG I'm so excited response" but that wasn't exactly what it was. It was more like "holy crap, is that for real?! seriously!? I'm really pregnant?! YAY!!!!!" - so excitement but initial reaction was definitely surprise, even though we were trying.

    I would be a cross between the OMG and the Oh Shit! I know we are married and fairly financially secure, but we aren't ready for a baby yet.  It would turn to happiness though, I know it!

    I would definitely be in the "shit" category.

    We are getting married in 17 days then moving abroad where FI and I know no one. We are not quite ready for kids yet. Ideally we'd like to wait another 5 years or so.

    Ha, we JUST had this discussion because I was so stressed a few weeks ago that I didn't get my TOM. I sort of freaked out, talked with Mr.ND, we decided we'd totally make it work/move up the wedding/etc ASAP if it was positive. Turns out we've got no bun in the oven *phew*

    But it was almost a bit sad..once you get over the freak out and get yourself to an ok/excited place if it could be, it's almost a little disappointing if it's not.

    I'm right there with Mrs.DG, I was there - but it was for the best. I think if it happened again, I probably would still be in the "shit" category but then I would get over it and by 2-3 months I'd be really excited. I really love planning for things and I want to be 110% sure that I'm ready the next time I have a baby.

    Ha, I'm in the Sh*t sh*t sh*t! response. It'd be better now that we're married with stable jobs, but we would definitely like to wait a few years. I asked DH what his response to this would be - I said it' be oh sh*t right, he says, 'yeah, it'd probably be along those lines' haha.

    @eloping: Ha, yes, by day 2 I was bringing home a set of tests. We got a neg on day 3 and day 6, and the doc gave us the go-ahead to get back on my pill after a full week of no show :-/ So we decided we may as well just keep on my pills. I get that 'it's common for women to skip a period on the pill,' but I've been on this brand for 5 years and have never been off more than +/- one day. 

    I'll probably test again in a week, because I'm paranoid that I'll be one of those really low HCG gals and I'm actually toting a baby in there! Eep!

    Option 3 or 4. We am so not ready for children emotionally, nor are we ready finacially.

    I'm in the sh#t category.  This post made me feel so much better.  We don't plan on having kids for at least 3 years, but so many people around us are pushing.  I am pretty sure some even think we must have fertility problems since it's been almost two years since we got married.  Nope, just the birth control doing what it's supposed to do.  Even FH, who doesn't want to have a baby now, thinks my reaction would be overboard- he would be, "that's unfortunate, but we were going to do it eventually, let's figure it out."

    I'd be in the so excited, jumping around screaming category!  Well, actually I'd probably be shocked and would be staring in disbelief for a while but it would definitely be a good thing.  DH and I aren't trying just yet but we plan to be in the next few months....and considering I just turned 32, I am definitely ready for a baby soon!!!   :-)

    I voted omg...super excited choice. But that is only because I cant wait. I am super ready for a baby. FI and I talked about kids and he said it would be nice to do it right....get married and have a big enough place to have the addition to our family! Well when we signed our lease on our two bedroom townhouse and we were engaged and to be married 3 months later....I told him that he better knock my up on the wedding night....he about fell off his chair from laughing so hard! (please note- that is just our sense of humor....)

    We're not married yet but my reaction would be "Shit!" and then super excited. There is no right time to have a baby. Financially right now we're in a bad situation but emotionally we're both ready. Honestly If we had a job last year I would be pregnant right now.

    I was excited and then scared. Dh and I had broken up before I found out I was pregnant. My first thought was, "a tiny baby just like him" and then it was, "should I tell him or keep it a secret and leave the state?" lol. 

    Edit: If I got pregnant again though I would be super excited and nothing else.

    I was definately in the shit shit shit category! I was not married. I was with FI only for a few months when I got pregnant, and I was scared to death to tell him. We knew that we wanted to be together etc, but it just makes shit a lot more real. It turned out being amazing! I dont know what I was so worried about, and I am so happy that In a few months I will have my boys last name lol

    My first reaction would be oh shit, then excitement. We just started trying, so even trying is exciting. I just got excited for a positive OPK. Seriously, who knew that peeing on a stick would be so much fun! Here's to hoping that something happens in the next few days to lead to a positive pregnancy test. I'm so ready for kids! It does scare me at times, but I'm so ready for it.

    I was just in shock at first, we werent really trying and werent expecting to get pregnant so soon after the wedding. I just kept saying "Nooo I cant be pregnant" but then I got adjusted to it and was very excited. I still have moments when I worry about it, but I know it will all work out
