Is nothing greater than bringing a new life in the world? Is nothing more precious than something that you created? Everything
is wonderful! Everybody's happy! No worries, right? WRONG! When it comes to bringing a child in the world so many factors come in to play. Finances is one of the biggest worries that an expected mother will worry about. As a lady who recently discovered she was
pregnant, must I say WOW! I never thought that I would get pregnant. Not this soon and not at this stage of my life. I began to worry if the father of my baby would stick around. I wonder if I will be able to finish school and advance in my career. I often stress myself worrying about my dreams going down the drain. I wonder if I will be a good mother. I wonder if I will have a healthy baby and
pregnancy. I wonder if I will be super fat after my pregnancy and most of all I wonder what people will think of me. This, my friends, is what I call the pregnancy blues! Some people say you are supposed to be happy, which I am. I'm confused more so anything. When I tell people they say congratulations and I say thank you but inside my heart I can't believe this is happening. I began to ask opinions on this matter which from experience I say is the wrong thing to do. Follow your heart and what YOU think is best. You have options. Look at your life and analyze it, honestly. Give yourself a reality check. I have people pulling my arms both ways. Some say get rid of it but majority tell me to keep it. The ones that tell me to get rid of my baby are just basically telling me that I will struggle and my dreams will be shattered. They say that a child will slow me down and my freedom will be completely gone. That is not something I want to hear. At a time like this I need support from as many people as possible. Negativity is what stresses me out even more. The people that are telling me to keep it are basically saying that God does not make any mistakes. They say with the right amount of support I will be ok. But... What do I want? Well after looking at my life I decided to keep it. Not saying that I am not a believer in abortions but that's not something I have a heart to do. I recently viewed a photograph of an aborted baby and it messed up my understanding. I am not rich. Matter a fact, I am barely making it. I am living check to check. How will this baby work? I am also a student. I am a true believer in God and with him all things are possible. If he didn't think I could handle it then he wouldn't have blessed me with a child. I have eight more months to find a way for me to support my baby. It seems like a huge task but I thrive off a challenge. If I was a new pregnant lady I would not worry. You will lose your baby from that. If you have to ask someone else's opinion on what is best for you then something is not right. Don't ever look at a child as a mistake even if it truly was. A baby is a blessing from God. This just proves that life is still continuing. This happens all the time!
