Am I Pregnant

One woman’s experience when she had to ask herself “am I pregnant” was quickly replaced by intense fear. Then when she goes to the doctor his comment only solidifies her fear. Thankfully, her fears were not fulfilled and her doctor was a jokester.

Here’s her “am I pregnant” story:

“The first time I ever had to ask myself “am I pregnant”, I quickly dismissed the notion. I'd been separated from my husband for 4 months and 800 miles! I was worried that there was something amiss though because I had ballooned in weight before I left my husband and I was still as huge 4 months later.

My stomach seemed too hard though......that did worry me and I had such horrible gas bubbles that I could feel them rolling around in my gut. I knew I couldn't have gotten pregnant before I left because I didn't have morning sickness, I hadn't missed my monthly cycle, I didn't 'feel' pregnant.

I was seriously afraid I may have a large tumor or cyst; after all, there was a family medical history of cervical cancer. I made an appointment with my GP and went with the apprehension that something could be seriously wrong.

He proceeded to do a pelvic exam and told me that I had a tumor that would have to be out within 4 months. I started crying, my worst fears were confirmed!

The tone of his voice should have told me that he making a joke, but all I heard were the literal words. He asked me why I was crying, that having a baby should be something to make me happy!

I started to cry harder, and reminded him that I'd left my husband. Poor guy felt horrible, this old doctor was more like a friend, he'd birthed me and taken care of all of my childhood ailments - I'd literally known him my whole life. He literally smacked himself on the forehead.

Then the whole scene became more surreal to me with all the mixed emotions: relief that I didn't have a tumor or cancer, horror that my soon-to-be ex-husband could still affect my life while so far away, only lightened by a good dose of humor at how the office visit had progressed.

Overlaying all the relief, horror and humor was fear as I frantically wondered: "What do I do now?!" After all, I’d just found out that I was 5 months pregnant! I hadn’t really had a chance to ask myself “am I pregnant” before deciding that I couldn’t possibly be, only to find out that I was. What a shock!”

That’s not the first time that I’ve heard of a woman thinking she had a tumor, rather than really asking herself “am I pregnant”, only to find out that she due to have a baby in about four months!
