Finding out I was pregnant in 2015

Amanda

I was only 20, I was a heavy drinker, drinking at least 5 times a week, never seen it as a problem as I always attended work (worked in a bar of all places!) and college (both full time) and always seen family, friends and my boyfriend! Only recently did people tell me how worried they were getting about my drinking! I never wanted kids, I always took my pill everyday at the same time and if I was a little bit poorly or if I had been on any medication that could affect it I always used a condom! I drank every night for a week and 2 days of no drinking I felt weird not a drinking weird but an "something isn't right" weird . My Dr's always asked if I'm pregnant so I decided to take a test thinking it'll come up negative and then if I still felt weird I'd ring the Dr's for some advice the next day, took the test put the cap on put it in its box and put it in my bag and walked to work, completely forgot about it! got to work 30 mins early and me and my boss were taking the mick out of the bouncers, went to the loos to touch up my makeup before my shift and I seen it in there... It was positive!!! I couldn't lie to my boss and say I felt ill because he'd just seen me! I had to work that shift in panic mode! I got halfway through my shift and then a customer calls me "baby" and it hits me like a ton of bricks, so I did the only rational thing I could think off when we are 4 deep, extremely busy, in the middle of the bar as acting supervisor... I stood there and bawled well like a baby! My work bestie pulled me into the backwash made me a chair out of crates and I assigned him the role of acting supervisor as I just couldn't do it, I finished that shift crying rang for my boyfriend to pick me up and told him in the car he just said "oh right, want to go to McDonald's?" HOW WAS HE SO CALM??? We are now engaged, happier than we've ever been with our son who is going to turn 2 on Halloween and currently trying for our second and I haven't touched a drop of alcohol since finding out! things don't always go how you want them too, but I'm greatful for my little suprise who brought out the motherly side to me :)
