My Sister Had an Abortion

Hi my sister had an abortion when she was around 15 or 16 and I have no one I talk to. The baby wasn't growing right and likely wouldn't survive. My friend found out somehow and told my other friend.

I am still not allowed to talk to them about it even thought they know. The boy who got my sister pregnant was emotionally abusive and she lost almost all of her friends because of it.

In Case You Were Wondering About Special Cases (My Story)

Oh, where do I begin? The journey from three years ago to today is such a dramatic and life changing one that I can only barely remember where I started, but everyday I am reminded of God's incredible grace. Before I begin, I should mention that, no... I did not have an abortion. However... "no one would blame me"... or so I kept being told.

Alright, I suppose my name is as good a starting point as any. My name is Megan, though my mom likes to call me Nutmeg. I am 23 and have a wonderful blonde-haired, blue-eyed wonder for a son, despite being dark-haired and brown-eyed, myself. He's 2 and a half and though somedays do leave me sad over how he came to be, I've never regretted having him once, but I suppose I should elaborate a little...

Scary Beginning Great Ending

Our daughter was a junior in high school when she told us she was pregnant. You already know about all the scary stuff so I won’t dwell on that. I will say the biological father (17) & his parents were a problem, then gone, then back but not in a good way, then tolerable with the help of a great family law attorney. We had initially hoped for marriage but we now know that would have been a disaster. I must say before “the news”, our daughter was most likely going to end up out of town, maybe even out of state, attending a college with no career plans in mind.

It's been a while!

Well it's been a while since I've been on here but I think it's about time I start using this site again. It really did help me a lot & I could use the support. My little boy is now 5 years old & my little girl is now 3. Her father & I are not only not together but he has moved away to California. He has been gone since she was almost 1 1/2 & he comes to see her on her birthday once a year. He talks to her once a week, if that & it's always me starting the conversation. I feel like I'm putting too much effort into them having a relationship since he doesn't act like he really cares most of the time.

5 Months Later He Shows Up

Im 7 months pregnant. I found out the last week in June that I was 6 weeks pregnant. It was a Sunday. I told my boyfriend of 3 months, and my brothers best friend of 6+ years. I knew he wouldn't be happy but I knew he'd never leave me. I was actually so sure of it that when he did leave me three days later I didn't fully understand what had happened. Not only did I not see him for those three days after spending everyday together for the entire 3 months we were dating but he broke up with me through a text message while he was cheating on me with his ex.

You Can Do It On Your Own!

I found out I was pregnant when I was 16 years old going into my senior year of high school. I couldn't even believe it was true because I have always made sure we used protection but like the doctors said, "accidents happen." I decided to keep my baby-I had lots of experience with babies so I figured if I knew I could do it then it wouldn't be fair to my son to have an abortion or give him up for adoption. But choosing that option made my parents kick me out and send me to a maternity home in a whole different part of town which wasn't too bad at first but I ended up being there 7 long months. Telling the dad changed my life more than I could have imagined.

You'll Have To Drop Your Dreams. Huh?

Dear Becky, I found out I was pregnant when I was 17. I was a Senior in high school. When I first found out I was with some friends and my boyfriend. We had been together already for three years. Anyway, when I found out, I thought my world was over. I sat and cried on my best friend's shoulder for about an hour.

I didn't know what I was going to do or how I was going to tell my parents. My boyfriend and I talked and decided that we would let it sink in before we told them. We decided three days should be enough time to make some plans.

I Couldn't Get an Abortion from that Moment On

My name is Brooklin, I'm 18 years old. I'm a senior in high school and I'm 4 months pregnant.... this is my story.

Let me tell you a little about myself, I had a very tough childhood growing up, I grew up without parents, I live with my grandparents instead. Growing up I loved art & anime but what I loved the most was drawing anime or painting anime.... it become my dearest passion. It was my favorite thing in the world. I even considered about going to art school, but all of that changed. in September of 2016.
