Pregnancy scares. Most of you probably got a shiver up your spine just reading those words. Whether it happens in the context of a one night stand or a dating relationship or a years-long marriage, anytime those words “I think I might be pregnant” come up within a context that doesn’t feel ready, everybody freezes.
