If you told me a year ago that I would be a mom I would of probably laugh. Of course as a young woman I always dream of having children but not so soon. Before pregnancy my life was alright but not perfect. Around this time last time a baby was the furthest thing from my mind. I was living so carefree going day by day like any normal 23 year old , living my best life.
Shopping for myself was a regular thing, money basically comes and goes.clearing my mind and unwinding with friends was a norm for me. I would quit jobs just to get a new one very quickly. Hair was in every type of style i can afford at the moment , partying whenever I had time , drinks on drinks on drinks everyday. Party all night wake up to go to work after work meet up with
last year summer my on again and off again boyfriend of 7 years and I was yet again on another break. i moved out and moved in with friends . Anyways months go by I land a job as a waitress and when had free time I would hang with friends and family going out drinking and pursuing my music and business dreams.
By the end of 2017, around October I finally started getting used to being single, gotten a new job at target looked and felt great. Had a little pay check had friends to hang with, plans for the new year. I was comfortable things was starting to get on the right path to being a new woman.
Just as things were getting simple and controllable my ( at the time ) ex calls and wants to meet up and get some drinks. Things were moving forward but I desperately needed closure so I agreed, feeling confident this meeting will end smoothly .
So we got together, ordered a few beers to cool us down then some henny to heat up the mood. We spoke about almost everything , our relationship, our break up even our how our new lives was going. we finally communicated about why and how we broke up and came to terms that its best we just stay apart. we were in love but things was getting to toxic.
By the end of the night we both was pretty drunk but yet felt so good how well our rendez-vous went we decided to end it at his place. We got jiggy one last time before our official goodbye.
Drunken goodbye play after a breakup was great actually but left me happily ready to move on.I went back to my basic Everyday life he went back to his. After weeks of us not communicating , basically keeping up with our decision to stay apart. first week of November, working at target I wasn't feeling like my ordinary self.My body felt tired even after a good rest I would feel nauseous here and there at the time I didn't think much of it until I missed my period.
Even then I doubted it ,I thought to myself eh, must be my cycle I changing. Until it was like 3 weeks late I started to worry so decided to try these at home pregnancy test. I bought two of them , did the first one it came out positive, I still doubted it and said nahhhhh, let me try it again test maybe no good. Second one came out positive( oh sh...) now it started to hit me, there's a possibility. I then convinced myself these test or not 100% accurate let me go to the ER.
I took my third test at the ER , results are in
I'm pregnant!!!
How was your life before you became a parent? How and when did you find out? How do you explain your experience?
