I know it may sound ridiculous to some folks, but I find myself, every time I am pregnant and the first time, I have this dream that I am pregnant for two years and am a woman still pregnant.
Well, that’s just a dream. As it turns out, in real life, two years is a bit of a rarity. I’ve gotten pregnant with two different women in the past five years (I’m not sure about the last one) and I’ve been pregnant with a third pregnancy in the past two years (that one’s still in the works). It’s no wonder I’m so paranoid about pregnancy.
It’s not that I don’t want to be pregnant. I just haven’t had the time to get to the point in my life where I am pregnant. I get the occasional reminder, but then that reminder comes and I immediately forget. This is because I have a healthy, happy, and wonderful husband who is as supportive and encouraging as any man can be. I truly believe that if you make the commitment to a child, the world will be a better place for it.
I don’t know if I can bring myself to go through with it, but the fact is that I know I will not be pregnant for two years. That’s a long time to wait to have sex. That long time of waiting is the part that I hate the most.
If you’re going through with having a baby, it’s hard to say the same thing. The truth is, as much as I want to, and as much as I wish I could, I don’t know if I can. As a child, I remember my mom telling me that I had to wait two years to have sex.
That was a moment of truth for me too. It was, for me, a sign that I was finally ready to let go. My mother talked about how she would make my wish come true just like she was making the dreams of everyone else come true.
The process of becoming a parent is the process of realizing that we’re growing up. I’ve learned over the last two years that my childhood was a very short one. It was filled with moments like the time my mom said I had to get my ears pierced (with her blood on my earlobes from ear-punches), or the time my dad said I had to go to the dentist.
You might be wondering why I’m talking about my mom and not my dad. Well, its because my dad has decided that the best way to honor her is to never have a baby of his own. He seems to be doing this by leaving the house empty for two years while he works on his own startup. It’s a very quiet story, but one that I imagine has probably happened to many, many people.
This is a good example of one of the reasons why I like going to these “health” conventions. People who go are in such good spirits that they have a lot to talk about and so much to feel good about. They also have a lot to be afraid of, because at one such convention I ran into the mother of a child I had no intention of having. Her story was very similar to mine, only worse.
And worse because it had nothing to do with her pregnancy and everything to do with her husband who just took off and left her pregnant and homeless. The woman was born with a rare disease called a mitochondrial disease that is fatal if untreated. Her mother had a good job as a nurse but no child support and now the mother was desperate to find work and support her family, but the doctor didn’t want to hear about it. She was told that she was “just fine” and she was.
