I only found out about a pregnancy when I went to a doctor for an unrelated illness. It was so early that I hadn’t even missed a period yet. When they asked if I wanted a pregnancy test, I was like, “Eh sure, why not.” Didn’t think anything of it, and I was shocked when it came back positive.
But yeah, I figure most women will know whether they might be pregnant or not. I just happened to be within that slim window of time where the only tell was that my brain was in a fog so bad that I couldn’t think an entire sentence through. Naturally, I’d first attributed that to the illness. But now I know what “baby brain” feels like, and damn, hats off to those who stick it out all 9 months. I don’t think I’d be able to function like that.
I think the point there is that you knew that there was a possibility and so asked for the test when presented with the option. For a lot of women the test isn’t an option even if they say “no, there’s no chance I’m pregnant.” the doctor will often persist in suggesting one or asking about their last period like they are fucking Sherlock Holmes tracking down the case of the missing fetus.
