Actually, I am not a teenage mom, but I am a mother of two toddlers. I recently was watching a show on TV and I started to realize how difficult that must be.
I really don’t know how to help except to offer my friendship and support to anyone who might need it. I live in the Orlando area and I am 29 years old. After having my first baby at 26, I realized what a wonderful thing it is to have a baby- a little soul who will love you no matter what. Shortly after that, when my daughter was 7 months old, I got pregnant again. I wasn’t ready for that and it was very hard at first. It’s only now getting easier! And I am almost 30- so I can imagine what some of the younger moms must experience. I would like to just talk to anyone that might need another mom to talk to.
Being a mom can be awfully lonely sometimes too which is something someone never told me either!
Hello, I’m 17 years old and a senior in high school. I’m also 1 – 2 months pregnant.
The tests were negative, but I know the signs and symptoms. I told my boyfriend, the father of the child, and a couple of days later, he dumped me. He told my friend it was because he didn’t want a baby. Now I am on my own to raise it. I’m scared to death. I don’t know if I’ll be a good mother or even if I’ll be able to raise it right. I have thought about adoption, but I don’t know yet. I want to keep my baby, but how will I be able to raise it? I start college in August. I wonder if this means I will have to put my plans on hold. I also have decided that I don’t want the father to have any part in my child’s life. He still has a lot of growing up to do. The father is only 15 years old. So I have no clue what I’m in for.
I’m looking for any help or advice.
I cried again this afternoon, cried that I had forgotten you, forgotten what I put you through and when I did it. What kind of mother forgets the day her children died? A mother who does not care? Or a mother who has started to forgive herself? I don’t know which I want it to be because either way, it makes me feel sick to my stomach.
I got so drunk this afternoon, drunk because I want another baby to replace you, replace you in my life, my heart, and my mind. What kind of mother am I? A mother who is out of touch? Or a mother who is ready to move on with her life and leave the past where it belongs?
Am I allowed to do that? Is it normal to forget the day you aborted your unborn child? To forget the year that you made the biggest mistake of your life? Or does that start to happen three years down the line or when things start going better? Does that make me a bad person? For wanting to move on and be normal again? For wanting to love a real child, a child I can see and touch?
I don’t know anymore… I don’t know what’s normal and right and good where you are concerned.
My OB-GYN doctor told me that it’s hard for me to get pregnant. The chances are very low, because my egg cells don’t get mature. They blast even they were immature cells still. And the lining of my uterus is very thin already…
This fact makes me very sad, but happy for a short time. After I gave birth with my first baby boy, I am very afraid to have another baby, knowing the fact that the father of my baby don’t love me anymore and he just sticks with me coz of our son. His family don’t like me at all, Likewise, his sister used to nag at me in front of many people. She always makes me realize that I am never welcome in their house. It makes me feel down and depressed… My mother and family do not know my real situation in my boyfriend’s house… I kept it coz I don’t want them to be hurt. Now, it’s been 2 months that I don’t menstruate yet… I have used a Pregnancy Test thrice and the result is negative. I am confused If I am pregnant or not…
Though I don’t have following symptoms:
nausea, breast soreness or enlargement, queasiness and food cravings… Except for my menstruation, which has been stopped for 2 months now..
I recently found out I was just 1 month pregnant. I’m 14 turning 15 in June.
The father/my boyfriend, who is 15 turning 16 in September, doesn’t want me to have the baby. He wants me to get an abortion. He just doesn’t understand why I don’t want to. I told my mom and she wasn’t mad at me, but she wants me to have an abortion too but I don’t want to. I want to have the baby. I’ve looked at many sites, trying to keep an open mind to any other options, but I want to stick with having it. I have been thinking about going to a school called Louise Dean for pregnant teenagers. I think it would help a lot but I’m still not sure what to do. I’m scared of what everyone will think of me. The only people who actually know are my mom and my boyfriend.
What should I do?
I was 17 then when I knew I was pregnant.
I was afraid at first. I didn’t know what to do. I had to think of the worst things that would happen to me… I kept my baby until 4 months| do wear supporters, anything just to hide him. It even came to my mind to abort him, just for me to be free, and live life again as normal… But maybe it was not meant to be done… December 23, I bought some abortion materials, everything was ready that time… But guess what, I woke up Dec. 24, the aborting med hadn’t been drunk yet… So I told myself I would do it tonight, forgive me God, but I have to do this… Right after my thoughts sank into me, my aunt came rushing to the house and asked my mom to talk about something serious… I was very nervous at that time, and then blast!!!! Mom knew everything… Everyone knew about my situation… Mother did not beat me but she did not talk to me for almost a year. That was painful though!!! But I have to accept it. It’s my price…
And now I am a successful young mom. Even though I haven’t done with college yet, I can say I can take care of my baby’s needs…
