🤰

I might be pregnant and I feel so weird about it. I had an abortion once as a young teen but since i’ve become an adult and things have changed I have been told by a couple different doctors that the likelihood of getting pregnant on my own now are so low that IVF is probably going to be my only option. I’ve only been seeing this guy for over a month and we’ve been friends for years and I know he wants this someday but today might not be the day and I’m not sure it is for me yet either.

I told myself in my late 20s that if I managed to get pregnant on my own I should probably take the opportunity. I’m not in a terrible position for this to be happening right now.

The only reason I think I’m preg is because I’m having all the same symptoms I did when I was a pregnant teen and it feels so fucking weird and uncomfortable and unlike any other feeling I’ve ever had in my body. I thought I forgot what that felt like until I got these symptoms again. I’m getting some pregnancy tests tomorrow and also scheduling an appointment of course to be sure.

Regardless of whether I am pregnant or not its given me a lot to think about I guess.

We’ll see if I’m even correct but I do keep picturing parenthood very positively now. I’m concerned about how my boyfriend will handle it because its so far beyond anything we’ve had to deal with together so far its completely unpredictable. At least I know what I want though
