I looked at many different brands of pregnancy test, ones which each had a different way of checking.

I felt really self conscious, stood looking at a pregnancy test. There wasn't only women walking round there were also men. It felt like everyone was still looking at me.

I finally picked one. Took a deep sigh and slowly walked over to the counter. There was a big cue snaking round before the tills and three staff on the tills. Two woman and one man.
I lined up behind a woman who looked heavily pregnant herself. I just thought, that might be me in a few months time, dreading it inside me head. The woman turned to look at me, smelled touched her belly. She went to the front of the cue. I was behind her. A young man
Around the age of 16 was behind me, on the phone to someone. He kept looking down at my hands. It was as if he was looking at the pregnancy test too.
The woman in front had gone to pay and I was stood waiting to be called over to a till. I was hoping for one of the girls on the tills to finish first but unfortunately the man called me over. My heart paced, my hands shook and I collapsed.
