If you’d taken a long time to find the right one, how did it feel when you fell pregnant? Happy stories please :)

I feel like it’s taking me forever to find someone.

I would love a family and I am trying to stay positive! On that note, I would love to read some nice stories about how it felt to finally be pregnant and have the family you always wanted.

I’ve heard you almost cherish it more because you’ve wanted it for so long!

Trying to stay upbeat and not lose hope :)

Nobody? :)

@user18504 I've never really thought about it until you asked 😂
It's an amazing feeling (although was a little scary)! DS is now 9 months but finding out I was expecting with my husband was like the final piece of the puzzle, even more so now the little man is here.
Just keep holding out, there is a lovely man around the corner and you'll be answering your own question soon enough.

When I turned 30 I broke up with my abusive boyfriend. Over the next two or three years I watched all of my friends marry then the babies came... I knew it was the right thing to leave him and look for someone suitable. I did not know I would have nine years of bad dates, disappointments, bores, sex pests, non-starters, stalkers, weirdos, you name it, I dated it. To make it all more unbearable I got cancer on my womb and was told I needed a hysterectomy. I gambled and said no. Everyone argued with me. I don't know why I was so stubborn.

Then two years ago the right guy appeared. It was so straightforward with him. I liked him after our first date and wanted to see him again. He wanted to see me again. I still liked him by the second date and wanted to see him again... and so on till it is two years later and im sitting on our couch with our baby daughter asleep on my lap waiting for him to come back from training and give me a break.

You just don't know what the future holds!

I was 30, separated from an abusive XH and feeling like life was passing me by.

Took a chance on a guy online. He didn’t tick all the boxes but the dates I’d been on with guys who had ticked all the boxes hadn’t planned out.

Overwhelming lust at first site. There was just a connection and he felt it too.

I’m 36 now. We’re married and I’m less than 2 weeks away from having our first child. Sometimes we look at each other and say “a baby? What have we done?!?” But mainly I can’t wait to meet this little person who will be half of each of us and complete our family. My DH is literally the best person and I’m so lucky. I thought he was amazing before I got pregnant but seeing how a lot of pregnant women are treated on here and on my Facebook Due Date group I realise how fantastic he is.

Jesus... “panned” and “sight”

I’m knackered and pregnant. Forgive me 🤣
