Getting a positive pregnancy test can create a mix of thoughts and emotions, so if you find your pregnancy decision is swinging from one option to the other like a pendulum or swirling around in circles, you’re not crazy! This is very normal for what you are going through. It’s important to get support and perspective as you sort it all out.
You may daydream of baby showers and newborn cuddles one minute, and feel overwhelming fear and dread the next. Believe it or not, moms who were fully planning on getting pregnant experience the same thing. It doesn’t mean there is something wrong with you or that you can’t be a great mom if you choose to keep your baby.
Some women feel guilty that they are not completely happy about their pregnancy, and think that means they should have an abortion. They think they should only feel something magical. That’s not true! Give yourself some grace, some time to adjust to the news, to work out finding solutions to your obstacles, and to gather the support you need. Don’t feel pressured to make a rushed decision.
Gateway Women’s Care is your safe space to come work through your options with a trusted professional and find out about your pregnancy.
