Two things no one ever told me about being pregnant: some men find pregnant women hot, and being pregnant makes you horny. Oh, and you have to pee a lot. Certainly, when I got pregnant I was not prepared for the roller coaster ride.
I discovered I was pregnant when I was four weeks long and I hoped when I told my boyfriend he would be happy. Instead, he said he didn’t “want no kid,“ packed his things and left. Either way, it was for the best. He would not have been a good father. He drank too much, smoked too much pot and couldn’t keep a good job.
Fortunately, I knew I would be OK financially. Six years earlier, when I was 18, my parents were killed in a car accident and I received a pretty good insurance policy. It was enough to buy a small townhouse in the suburbs and still have enough for a monthly annuity that would pay the bills.
Because I am so small, 5 foot two about 100 pounds before I was pregnant, I began to show quite early. I didn’t try to hide it but was surprised how men would look at my belly and then smile at me. In particular, Jeffrey, the 18 year old nerdy boy that lives next-door, seemed particularly interested.
