I found out I'm pregnant - I don't know what it will be like.
I found out yesterday morning that I am pregnant. I had a one night stand with a great guy I met online about 5 weeks ago. We had a date. We went out to eat dinner, watched a movie at the theater, and then we went to a rural spot about 10 miles from my apartment where we got hot and heavy and had sex. He was really good and I really enjoyed the sex.
I got up this morning and something just didn't feel right. I was nauseous, had bloating, smells would set me into feeling sick to my stomach, the girls were sore, and just generally felt run down. I ran into the drug store on my way to work making sure I left early enough. I picked up some cheap and expensive pregnancy tests, ginger drops, and a few other things. I got to the hospital after getting coffee and a couple of doughnuts since they didn't make me feel sick. I went into the bathroom and took one of the cheap pregnancy tests. It almost immediately came up positive. I sat on the toilet and bawled. I felt like I was going through the motions the rest of the day after finding out the news.
I'm scared to be pregnant and become a mom. I'm pretty much 22 years old and I feel like I'm not ready to be a mom. I mean when are you ready to be a mom and are prepared for the responsiblity of taking care of another person even though carrying a life inside you is a beautiful thing. I can't have an abortion. Not that it's a decision I'd make because the fetus growing inside me is totally innocent but my state's abortion laws are so restrictive (6 Weeks). I know with being a nurse and it being summer and so hot in my native Texas, pregnancy is going to be no fun.
What was it like for you when you found out you were pregnant and what was your pregnancy experience like?

Awww, sorry to hear it's been difficult for you! It's only natural you'll have a lot of emotions at this time.I am only 18 and have never been pregnant so I don't really think I can help in terms of sharing experiences, but if it makes me feel better my mum got me at 22, I know everybody is different though and feels less or more ready. I can only suggest maybe looking into mom support groups, online or in your area. Your baby is going to be soo beautiful.

Sorry I meant to say "if it would make you feel better"

I’m pregnant as well (just turned 23) I am choosing to have an abortion though, the pill as it is so early and I am not at that place in my life. It depends on the person I’m sure you will make an amazing mum. I don’t know you but this baby is going to be your whole world which is going to be the best thing ever. It’s unfair though I feel as though everyone should have a choice with their own bodies. I am from UK. Have a safe and happy pregnancy! Let the dad know for support?
