So finding out I was pregnant was scary enough but the thought of sharing the news with family... Now that had me shaking in my boots! I decided the first thing to do was tell my mum seeing how I'm covered under her work insurance... But I was scared... I didn't know how to tell her, neither did my boyfriend... So I mustered up a the courage I could and txt her seeing how she works nights I thought she would be at work.. So I just said for her to call me when she got the chance that gave me time to think of what to say... But less then a minute later my mum was calling! Well that gave me no time at all to think of what to say so all I said was "uhh I think I'm pregnant..." expecting her to freak out and totally shut me down... To my surprise she was excited! She asked me if I was going to keep it and from the very moment I found out I decided to keep it so I told her Ofcorse I was keeping it. Then she went on to talk about how excited she is and how spoiled my baby will be and she has already started planning trips to grandmas house when the baby arrives! Now she is going with my boyfriend and I to the first appointment! I am soo blessed to have such a wonderful man by my side and my mothers support during this chapter of my life! Now I just have to find a way to tell everyone else! I hope it goes just as well!

My story..

Posted by Bri in Untagged

For a girl who has always had irregular periods being a few days late here or there was never really an issue. But after being over a week late I began to wonder.. So I sent my boyfriend to the store to get a test. Although I sent him I had already got that oh no not me mentality... So after taking the first test I didn't believe it and sent him to the store to get more. He came back with 3... I took another, waited.... It was positive.. Still not believing it I took the last 2... Both came up positive. I walked into my room with all 4 positive tests in hand and gave them to my boyfriend, his response "wow... This is cool!" he is extremely happy, me on the other hand I began to cry, have a panic attack and wasn't able to breath. After I calmed down I still didn't believe it. I can't believe I'm pregnant.. What about school? Work? How am I going to do this? Make a future for a baby when I haven't even created one for myself yet... But I've told myself that I can do this, I'm going to do this! Not that it's going to be easy but I'm determined to make this work. What doesn't kill me makes me stronger right??
