Congrats!! I think it's awesome your ex will be paying for the health care Also, I know numerous people who "jumped" into a "rebound" relationship immediately after a divorce and had it work out wonderfully for them, I hope it does for you as well.
No flames here, just wanted to share that my MIL and FIL were both very recently divorced when they found themselves pregnant, and will celebrate their 35th wedding anniversary next month. Sometimes even if the timing isn't what you would have chosen, things all work out for the best!
My only advice and I hope I don't get flamed for it is to take things slow and don't rush any decisions like getting married just because you're having a baby.
You have plenty of time to figure things out and I wish you the best.
This. I am glad you're happy. I know you wanted a baby (you were TTC prior to your divorce correct?).
Enjoy this happy time. Just don't make any really life altering choices now.
Thanks for asking. Other than nauseous and exhausted, I feel great. I've gone to bed by 9 almost every night and still walk around like a zombie.
You are so cute. This made me LOL.
"Other than feeling like total shit, I feel fabulous!"
First trimester sucks. You will feel more yourself in a couple months. <3
You've got me cracking up. xoxo
I am actually really glad that I do have these symptoms though. I didn't have any with the baby that I lost, so it is a little reassuring that (hopefully) everything is going well!

FWIW, I felt like craaaaaaaaaaaaaap all through the 1st tri and my baby is amazing at 5 months.
Congrats! And come on over to the MMM board. It's very helpful.
Enquiring minds: Does your ex know yet? Will he find out or will you tell him? I'd love to be a fly on the wall to see his face. He was a hosebeast and I hope you are happy with your new BF and baby to be!!!

No. I am assuming he will find out at some point from mutual friends. I have no plans to talk to him or see him, although I am pretty sure his reaction would be priceless.

Judging from what you've said before, I'm expecting a full blown hissy fit--particularly when he finds out he'll be paying for the prenatal care. ;D

I'm a lurker, and haven't read all of the responses. Congratulations!! If I remember correctly, you suffered a loss shortly before your asshole ex became your asshole ex. After having my own loss this past year, I've discovered that being/getting pregnant is such a mental adjustment on the mother's part, that if you're ready and happy, good for you! And with a suppotive partner, even better!
I'm probably not expressing myself well, but I just want to say congrats and happy and healthy nine months to you!

Congratulations! Although this may be "unplanned" I think this pregnancy is a lot more ideal than the last (I hope that came out right). Your bf seems like a great improvement to your life. I hope that this baby brings you both much joy. You deserve this happiness.
Considering I know people who were together for 10 years before having a kid and ended up divorcing not long after - length of relationship in no way indicates readiness for baby or good timing.
Good luck! I hope you have an easy, uneventful pregnancy.
I've found peppermint helps with my nausea. Also, people suggested getting peppermint oil to smell if smells are bothering you or ginger. I found ginger useless and didn't try the peppermint oil, but depending how bad it is it may be worth a try.
