I was answering my email the other day and someone wrote me to ask if I thought she was pregnant. I get many such emails every day, and my answer is usually the same, "If you think you're pregnant, take a pregnancy test." This woman wrote back quickly, "But I'm afraid to take a pregnancy test..."
That's when it struck me, aren't we all at some level afraid to take a pregnancy test? Whether you're looking for a positive or a negative, there is that place before you truly know the answer that the plastic test stick provides that allows you to be in your quiet, but happy place. It's a time where you can dream of the perfect pregnancy and lovely baby, or erase birth control failures and the like. That is, until you take that test. Then you are catapulted into reality, which is sometimes exactly what you had hoped and dreamed for and sometimes not.
How did you feel before you took your pregnancy test?
