As soon as the "possibility" of having a child became the reality of pregnancy, the "what if's" started to grow and multiply like some sort of Petri culture. What if I'm bad at this? What if it's bad for our marriage? What if the kid is bitchy like me and not nice like the Husband?
On top of questioning my personal abilities, there's all the scary medical stuff you start to learn about. Today's scary phrase for the day is "blighted ovum." Now, I'm not a doctor, and I don't play one on TV, but here's what that basically means: your body acts like your pregnant, but there's no baby. The placenta grows, but the fetus does not. Your body just keeps going along until it figures things out and eventually will reject the sac.
Now how freaky is that? You think your pregnant. Your body is acting pregnant- bigger boobs, sick to your stomach, bloat- but you're not.
I wish I never read those words- like I need something new to obsess about until the first doctor visit.
