From The Confessional: Pregnancy Edition
14 moms and moms-to-be share their secret thoughts about being pregnant.
No two people feel the same way about being pregnant. And one person can even have totally different feelings about two different pregnancies — or wildly varied thoughts and emotions over the course of just one. These pregnancy-related submissions to the Scary Mommy Confessional run the gamut from deep fear to overwhelming relief and excitement... and there’s even a little humor thrown in, too.
Scary Mommy Confessions are a tried-and-true part of what makes our site so fun. If you want to anonymously confess, please tell all through the link here. And if you want to browse past Confessions, head here.

After a few days of impossibly faint (almost optical illusion) lines on pregnancy tests, I can finally say I'm most def pregnant. Can't tell any friends till I tell DH. Can't tell him till Friday. So I'm telling y'all. I'm not built for secrets!

I intentionally waited until my husband was taking a swallow of his coffee before I blurted out "I'm pregnant!" Immature of me, but the resultant spewing of coffee and sputtering from him were HIGHLY entertaining.
