Taking The Test & Announcing You're Pregnant

For me, the scariest part of pregnancy ended up being telling my parents. I don't care how Christian you are or how against abortion you are, it will pop in your head. At least in the back of your head. Here's some reassurance though, it's probably easier to tell whoever you need to tell than you're thinking. You'll probably make a bigger deal of it than they will. Even if you're saying "you don't know my parents they'll kill me" trust me you don't know mine. The bottom line is no one can change the decisions you made or the fact that you're pregnant so any crap you get for it is just noise. Just get it over and people will get over it too.

If you still haven't done it, taking a test is scary. But so is staying up all night thinking of the possibilities. Buy one with a friend if you have to. I would go for the digitals because they're easier and quicker. You don't have to go through this alone- it's scary. Find a friend to go WITH you. If you're like me and never asked for help, you better get used to it because it isn't about you anymore. You'll be needing support a lot soon.

PS- keep your test for the memories :)
