Positively Pregnant

Ah shit.

Even though this was expected and kind of planned by myself and partner, I still can’t help but feel shocked, scared, worried and many more emotions that I can’t explain. Actually the only thing running through my head currently is all the swearwords I can think of dancing in my skull.

I knew it. I knew I was pregnant before I even did the test. I just had a weird feeling. I’d been ill the previous weekend and just couldn’t shake that something wasn’t normal. People have said this to me before that they “just know” and heck, I never believed them, I just thought they were caught up in their mother miracle bubble that some women sink into during pregnancy. Don’t be that person. (These are the mums that go into a hairdressers and cry at the fact that there’s “too much product in the air”)

Anyway, I’m pregnant. Shit. Next step, tell the hubby. Problem #1 Boyfriend in the military 5 hours away so I can’t just call him whiles he’s at work. Problem #2 Boyfriend currently at a shooting range holding a gun around people… I can’t just wait until I see him to tell him, this isn’t just something you wait to tell your partner, especially because the next time I see him is in a week. Problem #3 I always joke about being pregnant; he’s never going to believe me.

Here goes nothing!

So I take a picture of the pregnancy test (whilst at work) and send it to my boyfriend. The conversation goes a little like this:

Read but no reply 1 hr later...

Still no reply...

PHEW.

Obviously this was later followed up with a phone call and a little more in depth conversation. I was hoping for a very cheerful boyfriend. And he was. Well he didn’t shoot anybody so that must be a good sign!

For any expecting parent it can be very daunting and scary but you will get through it, and you’ll do just fine.

Before you judge me, I also text my mother to tell her too. To be honest I was terrified and wanted to warn her before I came home.

I get home and have both my mother and father at the door. Aaaah shit.

As you can probably tell, it wasn’t the reaction I was expecting. Obviously I had the talk about what I need to do financially, how to act when the hormones kick in etc. All in all they seemed pretty over the moon. Win win. Let’s have a baby!
