“My husband and I, previous to getting married, were dead set on not having kids. But about two years into our marriage, we had a pregnancy scare, where we were almost positive that I was pregnant. We started imagining our baby, the life we would live, how we would raise it, and got very excited, only to find out that I wasn’t actually pregnant.”
“That was really difficult, because we had already started planning and this was what we wanted. But once we found out that it wasn’t real, we had to make a decision if we were going to start trying for a baby, and right now, it’s just way too expensive. So it’s the responsible decision to wait until we’re financially able, but it really sucks. I also had a friend announce she was pregnant two days after we found out that we weren’t.”
