Throughout my life I have heard of people saying that the moment they found out they were going to be a parent was the moment their lives changed; it was the moment they realised that there was more to life than just money and social status. I never really understood this feeling until I experienced it.
There has been one day, in all my eighteen years of life which changed my life from what I had previously known. On that one day I realised that I could no longer live a carefree life, I had to consider every alternative, every possible outcome before I made any decision. For my choices no longer affected just me, but directly influenced another.
The moment that my life changed was the exact same moment that I was told that I was going to be a mother.
