With 2011 coming to an end i had planned the next year of my life out to the last detail. I had just completed my career qualification so i could finally start working, my partner and i were as strong as ever, my first born daughter was due to start school in the new year and life was just buzzing along nicely.
After feeling abit nauseous and being "late" i decided to take a home pregnancy test, just the thought of being pregnant again scared the hell out of me and when the result came back negative i was so relieved i almost did a happy dance. This happiness was very short lived however after one night whilst enjoying my veggies with mint sauce i discovered i couldn't stomach the sauce, it just tasted like acid or poison in my mouth. Alarm bells starting pounding in my head and all the fears and concerns i had before started coming back to me.
The wait for the doctor killed me but she eventually confirmed what i already knew and had feared the most. I was pregnant. The news hit me like a truck and i will admit i was devastated. In one moment all my plans of working and moving on a financially healthier future were gone. What could i do? How could i tell my family who were so proud of me for finally completing my qualification that at 22 i was expecting my second child?
