Congratulations! You are pregnant

No one can ever prepare you for the moment when the doctor tells you the good news, it’s an indescribable feeling.

Have you ever tried using those “period tracker” apps? I did and here I am a few months later PREGNANT. Sometimes we challenge God and underestimate his power forgetting that he is the alpha and the omega. I would say this was me challenging God because well, I’ve always been someone who loves children and being a mother was something I always prayed for but I prayed that God give me a man who will be a good father to my child, so I would say that this was a planned pregnancy or rather the more appropriate way to describe would be to say it was a prayed for pregnancy.

My ovulation days came and you know what the internet and doctors say about ovulation days right? I followed that advice and my period didn’t come the following month but it just didn’t click to me that I could really be pregnant, this had happened to me before and so I carried on with life as usual. In the second month I started noticing that my breasts were getting bigger, I was constantly tired, always fighting with my boyfriend even for the smallest and unnecessary things. I remember telling a close friend and colleague of mine that I think I might be pregnant and he encouraged me to take a pregnancy test and he also advised me to stop drinking energy drinks until we know for sure what if I’m pregnant or not because those had now become my daily bread since I was forever tired but I just couldn’t get myself to buy one and so I continued to ignore the signs. I started getting more tired and I couldn’t stomach some foods but I still chose to ignore the signs and I had now missed my period for the second month.

One Monday morning I was late for work and because I had found myself being in trouble for constantly being late for work I decided to go to the doctor instead, I wasn’t feeling like my usual self anyway so this was a perfect time. When I got to the doctor he asked the usual questions but I lied about when my last period was because I was for some strange reason now nervous, so he told me I will first need to do a pregnancy test before he can prescribe anything for me. The doctor gave me the results in less than two minutes “Congratulations!You are pregnant” I thought maybe I had heard the wrong thing so I asked him to repeat what he said and he repeated the exact same words. Honestly I couldn’t believe it, I was in shock (one would ask,why? When I had orchestrated this whole thing but I just was) and so we did the scan and he said “you are 7weeks and 2days pregnant”.Seeing that tiny fuetous brought tears to my eyes I had never felt so blessed like I was at that moment. When the doctor told me that we can discuss my options on my next visit I told him right there and then that I am keeping the baby. Immediately after walking out of that doctors office I called my friend Tee because I knew she would never judge me instead she’d be as happy as I am, and I told her she couldn’t believe it and I sent her the picture of my scan. And from that moment I became a 22year old mother to be. I still couldn’t believe it but I was happy and that is all that mattered
