A friend of mine had an unplanned pregnancy a few years ago and I lost touch with her when her child was about 1. I reconnected with her tonight and I found out she is pregnant again.
Now I know she is still with the father of her other child and I know that he is an unapologetic arsehole who is at time emotionally abusive. For most of her pregnancy and up until I lost touch he was threatening to leave in a way that made it seem like he couldn't care either way if they were in his life. So this news obviously had me a little shocked.
What I did not expect was the fear and uncertainty in MYSELF that this news brought.

I thought about it and I think I narrowed it down to my feelings about my mother and her multiple pregnancies. Or possibly because I know the circumstances of the first and my mind came up with some wonderful ideas about the circumstances of this one.
I wasn't able to ask because it didn't sink in until we were parting ways.

I know I seem selfish but dang these emotions.
