How I Found Out I Was Pregnant

Okay, let’s be real—I definitely wasn’t expecting to be pregnant again. We weren’t trying, and honestly, I thought the chances were slim. It was one of those little “oopsie” moments where afterwards I thought, maybe I should get a Plan B.But then I brushed it off, telling myself, the chances after one time are so small. Spoiler alert: they weren’t.

🌸 The Feeling I Couldn’t Shake

Here’s the weird part—women really do have a sense. About a week or two later, I had this strong feeling that my body might be creating a baby. I even sort of envisioned it, like deep down I just knew something was different.

I decided to take a pregnancy test a couple days before my missed period, just to ease my mind. It came out negative, and I thought, okay, guess I was wrong. We were heading to Vegas in a few days, so I let myself relax.

But the very next day something inside me told me to take another test. This time, I looked at it, saw one line, and thought phew, I’m good. Guess I can enjoy Vegas. I literally washed my hands, looked back down at the test, and there it was—the faint second pink line.

🌸 Telling My Other Half

I was scared. My boyfriend had been very clear that he wasn’t ready for another baby. I didn’t have some picture-perfect reveal planned. Instead, I threw two positive pregnancy tests at him and ran straight into the shower. Not exactly Instagram-worthy, but hey—that’s real life.

At first, it was hard. He really wasn’t ready, and it put a strain on our relationship. Those first weeks were heavy and emotional. But over time, he came around. He accepted it, and now we’re in a good place.

🌸 Not the “Perfect” Story, But Ours

It wasn’t like those videos you see online where the husband lifts the wife up and spins her around after seeing the test. It was kind of the opposite. But that’s the truth of our story—and I know so many moms have their own versions of this too.

And now, here we are. I’m halfway through my pregnancy, we’re expecting a little girl, and it feels like everything is falling into place the way it was meant to.

Sometimes life doesn’t follow the plan, and sometimes pregnancies don’t come with a perfect reveal. But that doesn’t make the story any less beautiful—it makes it real. And I think there’s something pretty special about that.
