What do you think?
Afraid to take pregnancy test
I'm 24, and for as long as I can remember, I have had this deep fear of the actual act of giving labor. So I have always known I could never have kids. Aside from that fear, I don't really think I am the right type of person to have kids. I have anxiety attacks sometimes(unrelated to these thoughts)so I also fear that if I ever find out I am pregnant, I will have a bad one. I've always been on the pill, but recently had sex and he pulled out and I am not on the pill right now. I haven't been with anyone in a long time, so it was more of a sudden thing. But now I have this severe worry that I could be pregnant, and I know most people would say just take a test. But I almost would rather just pretend I am not pregnant than find out for sure. I'm too scared to take a test, but I know I'd be even more scared if I was suddenly really pregnant! I know it sounds crazy...and no I do not have any symptoms it's only been 3 weeks. Is there anthing normal about my fear of pregnancy?

No not really, i have 3 kids and i still fear my missus getting prego again. I would also be very worried as i have been snipped! Anyway take the test as the problem wont just go away and you will probably find you are worrying over nothing.

Take a home pregnancy test now! If you are pregnant, then you can make the proper decisions of what to do right away, which is extremely important if you want to go the abortion way . . .

I think you are pretty normal. I was always afraid of labor and was scared to death the whole time I was pregnant with my first, worrying about how it would be. But our bodies are made for it. Take the test so you can know, and then you can get some sleep. My sister thought she would never have kids after being there for my deliveries, but she got pregnant (unplanned) and is a wonderful mother any child would be thrilled to have.

I dated a girl once that completely freaked out on me everytime we had sex. She repeatedly asked me to check the condom for breaks over and over and many times she'd take the day after pill. Not only was it traumatizing for her, but it was for me too! My goodness, what a scary way to view sex.

If you are like her, I recommend seeing a psychologist about this. It might be deeply rooted and a part of your other anxieties that cause your anxiety attacks.

As for a pregnancy test, it's just a pregnancy test. You're probably not pregnant. Stop freaking out, it's ok. Take the test so that you don't have to worry, you'll be better off in the long run..

Yes, I was afraid. If you are this is how I got through it. I thought It's one day of pain for a child that will grow and experience new things. If you don't do it it's not good not to know See if you skip a period ,then take two test. They have the good ones that have two test in the box. I remember the contractions. It was not easy. Yet I had comfort knowing how to breath is important It really helps. I'm not sure but if your not pregnant:

Get the birth control shot . It last for around 3 mounths. You used to could get it at the health department. Condoms are free as well. Protect yourself from desease as well as pregnancy. Love ya good luck on no babies if you don't want them. This world is too awful to put any kids in it any way. Yet, if I were pregnant I would keep it or give it up for adoption. I know a shot hurts. This one not so bad and it's less painful than child birth. If you want to really make sure you don't get pregnant ask about Getting clips on your tubes they go through your belly button. It takes 3 to 7 days to heal. Take it easy and it heals quickly. Make sure you don't desire children. Ask doctor if it's possible to do it if you've never been pregnant.

Tell him your fears and tell him you don't want children and you have no doubt if this is true.

Depro Provarol shot : not sure of the spelling. It's been 8 years since I had one of those shot because I had one miscarriage and one baby and decided it would be best to not have another baby. I had to have a c-section after 6 hours of labor and it didn't seem like 6 hours. It just went so fast.

It's normal.. but for your sake, and maybe your babies sake you need to bring yourself to take the test.

if you are pregnat..
Abortion is wrong.. the pain is worth that childs life, they could be the one to find a cure to cancer.. keep that in mind!

adoption would be your best choice if you don't want, or feel unable to care for the child.. remember no questions asked, just drop the baby off at the hospital! Don't do anything dumb

GOOD LUCK! (and use protection next time)
