What were you THINKING???
Ok so You just found our you are pregnant. This is VERY unexpected! You are thinking.. "How did this happen?" Well.. I mean I KNOW how this happened... but HOW did this happen?
So calm down. There is some time to get things figured out. But calming down is SOOOO hard to do... right? What went through your head? I know that I remember... Good or Bad... So that we all know we are normal... What was that first thought??? |

OK... obviously I suspected before the test... But Kristin was a birth control baby.. I chucked the test across the room.
Seriously. |

"[Shoot.] My Mom was right."
Which wasn't a happy thought in itself. Referencing the fact that, crap, you can get pregnant having sex just once. My next thought was, "I have to open this bathroom door and the [the father]." Followed by, "I think I'm going to throw up." The next day was, "I need to find a place to live."

Did you seriously throw it? I got a visual. I just turned away from it and stared out the window. I can still see the color of the sky that day.

Oh yeah. It flew.
With both girls I already lived on my own. It took a little bit to warm up to being pregnant again. Like I said.. pill baby. My basic reaction was just that I was on the pill! ![]() I wonder why those didnt fly, too.. But the test did.. I chucked it. |

Well, the first time I found out I was pregnant, I was in shock, of course, and I thought this can't be happening to me - I'm suppose to be a good girl, I'm a good girl, dang it. Then I remember staring at the two lines on the pregnancy test that said it was positive and I stared at it really hard trying to make the second line vanish, I closed my eyes and told myself it was all a bad dream and then turned back around and the positive pregnancy test was still sitting there on the counter.
The second time I pretty much knew I was pregnant before I took the test, but I still held onto that small chance that I wasn't. I took that pregnancy test in the bathroom at a public library, that was an experience. Anyway, I just remember thinking, what am I going to do this time when I saw the positive pregnancy test results.

First thought was "this can't be happening", second one was "I'm keeping my baby". It wasn't till later I thought about abortion then dismissed the idea mainly because I did actually want my baby and I personally couldn't have an abortion.

I pretty much just went numb. I sat in the bathroom for about 20 mins, just sitting there. I don't think I talked to anyone the rest of the night. But I did order myself a pizza and ate the whole thing myself.

I denied it for awhile. I was scheduled for surgery (tonsils) and went through that but then after that we looked at each other and I took the test and when I walked out of the bathroom I just layed down in my bed and he walked into the bathroom walked out and just took me in his arms. I was in a it is not happening to me moment.

I went in to the clinic thinking I had the flu or something. You can't get pregnant when you use a condom EVERY TIME, right? Wrong. The nurse took me into the private office and informed me that it wasn't the flu but a baby and gave me some stuff to read about abortion and sugested I come back in with the father if I had any questions. I don't think it hit me until I got home that night and I tried to pretend it wasn't there for the first two weeks. Today, I decided I can't pretend, I have to do something.

Yup. I wasn't sure what to do with it after she gave it to me. My room mate is "pro-life" and if she even thought I had something like that in our dorm, I'm sure she would burn it down! I never had to think about it because I thought we were being safe. It wouldn't have been so bad if she gave me stuff with all my options or asked first if I WANTED the info. And as for Brent, all he wants to know is how much to get it over. Urrr...

I was pissed, I think "this is so not fair" were the first words i muttered to myself we'd been using condoms and I was the responsible one in my peer group my boyfriend and I were together a long time before we had sex and like i said we used protection a lot of my friends had mulitple partners and never used protection and each time they thought they were pregnant the test would tell them otherwise. so yeah I was mad at them for awhile, then at me to this day I will not have sex with condoms as the only protection....

The first time I'd just graduated HS in podunk. I thought, OMG! I'm supposed to get on a plane to go to school in three months! This can't be happening! How could I be so stupid! Followed quickly thereafter by my mom is gonna kill me!!
A year later I was grieving the death of my brother (who'd died three weeks earlier) and wasn't thinking about protection at all, just raw emotion. BF (same guy) was there to help me pick up the pieces. I knew the moment I conceived that the deed was done. My first insane thought was, oh well. Maybe this is God's way of making up for what He stole; maybe He's replacing my brother. My first logical, coherent thought was weeks later - something along the lines of who am I kidding?!?! There is no way in hades that I'm going to permanently hitch my wagon to BF's horse; I want more darnit!
