I had my appointment at Woman's Pregnancy Center yesterday... I'm just going to say right away that if you have one in your town and you get pregnant, MAKE AN APPOINTMENT! They are amazingly helpful. They give you all the information and numbers you need for parenting, adoption, and abortion; they offer Lamaze classes, parenting classes, infant care classes, they help with diapers and formula and other little things like wipes and diaper rash cream. Plus they have gently used baby clothes and Maternity clothes. Anyway I had another pregnancy test and my first sonogram, I'm ten weeks and two days. Due around July 11 which happens to be a week after my boyfriends birthday. As I've said prior we are looking into abortion and seriously considering it, but that little picture up on the screen was like a ten pound hammer to the chest...I'm really leaning toward keeping this child but I gave my boyfriend till the end of the week to come to his decision and he DOES NOT know where I'm standing on this. I'm staying neutral when we talk about it that way not to pressure him one way or another. But god it doesn't really hit you till you see that screen and all the movement, its like.. That is MY baby INSIDE of me!! Its an instant overwhelming feeling.
I'm starting to think pregnancy is an epidemic for my group of friends.. My best-friend is pregnant and I just got a phone call from one of my close guy-friends and his EX is 9 weeks pregnant and he just found out last night, so he's pretty freaked out. I gave him all the information for the health Dept and the Woman's pregnancy center. His situation is odd. His girlfriend was extremely clingy, he would tell her to go hang out with her own friends and she just didn't want to and she had mentioned to him she wanted a baby (shes 18).. Then she randomly breaks up with him...I'm thinking she got pregnant on purpose. Its funny, me and my step mom were just talking about girls getting pregnant on purpose. It seems to happen a lot, like that movie the Pregnancy Pact that's based off a TRUE story! As a sister with nothing but brothers, my friends being mainly guys, and the possibility of one day having a son the fact that there are girls out there like that are terrifying. I could never see intentionally trapping another person like that, what type of person does that? Pregnancy is a serious thing, and a life decision. It doesn't matter if you have an abortion, that is still with you for life. |
