What’s a time you followed your gut and it turned out to be exactly right?

When I was 18, I was a very lonely teenager. I wanted someone to love me that would never go away. (Be careful what you ask for!) So, I decided to “accidentally” get pregnant. But once I was, I freaked all the way out! Couldn’t decide if I wanted to give up the baby for adoption or keep it and raise it. Took a couple months, but my gut finally won out and I decided no one would love this little creature like me. And I decided to keep him (I knew it would be a boy, even though I opted not to find out the sex until birth; I was right.) and raise him as a single mother. Best decision I ever made in my life; also, the single most difficult decision of my life. Would I change a thing? Not if my life depended on it!
