There are many important days in a person's life, like landing your dream job, buying a house, and meeting your best friend. However, nothing shakes up your life quite like finding out you're pregnant does.

After all, babies change everything, and it's totally natural to feel a million different things within the span of a few minutes. Here are 14 thoughts you probably had (or will have!) in the moments after you found out you were pregnant.
