First I'm a married woman so I'm not some dizzy teen who couldn't keep her hormones under control. I'm still a teen (19 years old) but an adult and married!! I just said goodbye to my husband at the airport. I will see him again in the Spring when he returns from his duty in Iraq. He was home on Leave over Thanksgiving and we had a wonderful time. Little Jacob (our baby) got to meet daddy and they bonded. Before he left Jacob got used to Jamie (my husband) and soon he would smile whenever daddy picked him up or made goggly eyes at him. Oh, my best friend met his best friend (both boys came home on Leave together and my husband's friend stayed with my parents (I live with my mother in law). They were introduced via e-mail by my husband and I playing long distance matchmaker and they've known each other for about two months before actually physically meeting. They had a "quickee wedding" in Reno Nevada last week and my husband and I went along to be their two and only two guests lol lol. We werre using condoms the whole time except in Reno where we forgot to bring them and there was no drug store nearby to buy any. We only did it a few times without condoms and my period was due the next week anyway. Something must have happened because there is no sign of my period and I don't think its coming lol lol. My mom and mother in law are good friends and BOTH!! warned me to make sure I don't get pregnant before Jamie arrived on Leave. Oh, my girl friend told me this morning that she might be pregnant too!! lol. Her new husband must really be potent lol lol. My mom and mother in law will drag me to the ob/gyn and I'll be sitting there totally embarresed while everyone in the waiting stares at me like some teenager who can't keep her legs together. Should I tell them?

Well they will eventually find out won't they? You need to make sure you're pregnant first before you tell them anything. Take an hpt or go to a doctor by yourself and if you are in fact pregnant, then yes you need to tell them. And might I add, I have a friend who's husband is in the military and it seems that everytime he comes home on leave, she gets pregnant. She now has two children and one on the way and it's very hard for her going through the pregnancies alone and raising the children with an abseny father. You should probably think about that, and I don't mean to judge I know you miss your husband and when you see him you're ready to jump in the sheets but don't put more on yourself than you think you can handle. Because of his obligation to his country he can't be a full time dad and that means you'll have to be a double-overtime mom.

Don't rile anyone up unless you have to. Go to the doc by YOURSELF and get the results by yourself.

Wait until you know for sure if you are pregnant before you say anything.

i think you should wait until your missed period and take a test. then tell them if it's positive

Wow that was a really long story.
Why don't you just take a home test and find out if you even have a problem to start with.

Take a home test. I don't think I would tell them until I was sure. And if you are, so what? You're a grown woman. It's none of their business.

why don't you take a hpt? there is no reason to tell them anything unless you know you're are pregnant.

Before telling anyone you need to know for certain that you are indeed pregnant .. Have a doctor or local emergency room doctor perform a blood test to check for the hormones in your blood stream .. This is a very accurate and sensitive test and will know for sure if you are pregnant .. Also as it is exciting and you want to let the world know .. Let your husband know first and I would recommend waiting until around 10 - 12 weeks pregnant because before this period you have a high chance of miscarriage along with other people and it just creates more heartache if the baby is lost and people are having this in your face .. If you are pregnant they will send you for an early ultrasound and by this they can give you a good idea if it will be a viable pregnancy or not .. Best of luck to you and hopefully all works out ..

wait and see if your period comes before you say anything. wait a few weeks.
