I have the urge to share an inappropriate site with you. And then to thank you for posting this and writing it so well, because it's awfully human.

Every time I've had a pregancy scare it's been exacerbated by getting all tense and feaking my body into keeping that cervix closed a few more days.

The nice thing about this story is: life is pretty much okay, no matter what happens. That's how it is.

the bad news is that i am still depressed that i'm not preggers.

the good news is that i am very likely going to go live on an olive farm in spain, then some sort of farm in poland, and then some sort of farm in italy for a little while with the illustrious sean maylone. (we are 'woofing' it.)

(also, i think you may be the only person who truly understood the point of this post. this does not surprise me in the least.)

FARM LIFE?

On the one hand, I'm not seeing this at all. On the other hand, I very very much WANT to see this.

Also, in unrelated news, you should submit something to the Threepenny Review, because your fiction is at least as good as this current piece, which I quite like, and which made me think of you.

Yargh. Two different links: one on "Threepenny Review" and one on "current piece."

oh rach, I'm sorry you went through that...I know how scary it can be.

I for one am glad that you aren't pregnant; i hate babies.

waytoe December 3 2005, 20:27:32 UTC

the babies called. they hate you too.

good, i'd hate for it to be a one-sided relationship.

pregnancy scares have always kind of amused me. as cliche as it is, i "just knew" (ugh) when i was pregnant. not getting my period on my patch-free week was just a confirmation of what i was already sure of.

I'm 100% unsure how I'd feel if I were pregnant, but I'm pretty sure it would be the whiskey in the room drinking the baby to death part. I have no maternal instincts though, hence why I don't plan to have a child. Still, I'm not sure I could bring myself to have an abortion, because I'm a wuss. I'm fully aware I could change my mind at any point.

I'm sorry you went through this, what a roller coaster. The few pregnancy scares I've had, the first thing I'd do is buy a pregnancy test. Then I don't trust the negative results. But they do make me feel better.

I hope you feel ready when you do get pregnant though... because yeah, I don't imagine that sort of thing should be so mixed with fear... ideally. But then, to repeat myself, I have no maternal instincts.
