Truth Challenge: Day 28

Day 28: What if you were pregnant or got someone pregnant, what would you do?

Wow. It all depends doesn’t it? If I got pregnant tomorrow, I’d be pretty mad at myself because I don’t feel ready to have kids yet. However, I’ve succeeded at not getting pregnant too early as a friend explained last year. By the time I’d have the kid, I’ll be graduated with my two degrees, and therefore, in a position where if I can at least get some sort of job I’d be ok.

I’d go home and tell my parents. I’d tell them I was excited about it. I’d never refer to it as a mistake. And I’d let my parents get on board. If they weren’t, then that’s their lost. I’d try to find a job, and if that failed, then I’d do side jobs. I’d do contract work. In my field, you can get away with that and I know several people who did.

I would never give my baby up. I don’t think I could willingly do to another person what was done to me. I could never create these problems for someone else. And I learned through NeverTooLate’s mistakes that you should never try to hide a baby. It has to come out and become a person at some point.

Ultimately, I’d be happy. I’m hoping that this does happen to me some day, and that I’m ready for it when it does. I would love to have children and I’m excited for that time in my life. I want to wait though for a bit until I know I am more prepared. I want to experience being young and carefree. I want to get married first because that’s important to me. I want to have a place to live and to be financially stable first. These things though are nice-to-haves not need-to-haves.
