I decide that my job is just too much for me so I hand in my notice. I have become increasingly exhausted and a bit scatty minded. Then, my period is 5 days late and I am never late. I have sore breasts, and I never have sore breasts. I am really tired and I am weeing a lot. I put off going to the clinic for a pregnancy test as I am sure that it can’t be possible. Eventually my flatmate hands me a test kit and shoves me into the bathroom. It comes out with a blue line that appears really quickly. I shake in the loo thinking ‘s**t, s**t, was this such a good idea, oh god this is for real’. My boyfriend continues to play the guitar and is unfazed by it all! He has been suggesting that I was pregnant for days. I phone my mother to get it over with and she doesn’t believe me, ‘but I really am pregnant’!
Later this week I am still in denial and have to buy another test to make sure that I really am pregnant and not having a phantom. I still get a blue line, so I do another test just in case – blue line again. I start to get cramps, a bit like period pain but not quite, they are very difficult to describe and very worrying.
