Yesterday was the day that it was confirmed. I am pregnant.
My mom, grandma, and aunts didn’t want my life to go this way. They all had children between 17 and 19. I am 18. I feel like I let them down. I live with my fiance in our own place. He is just acting like he’s going to wake up and it’ll be over. I told my closest friends and my one aunt, and surprisingly, they want me to keep it. I don’t know what I want, honestly. My fiancé is more worried about not being able to play video games, work, his remote-controlled car, real cars, and vacations. So with that being said, he wants me to abort. “You walk in pregnant, you leave not. It’s that easy” he says. But it’s not.
He doesn’t realize how much pain it is going to cause me. When I tell him that he says “It’s a piece of me too, hunny. It’s going to be hard for me too.” Then he goes back to doing whatever he was doing. I’m just so confused. As selfish as it is I don’t know if I am ready to raise a child. I know I can do it, and I know I will love it, and I know I will be a good mommy. But I still want to do things that I haven’t experienced yet. Like vacations, and marriage. I know I can do it with a baby, but it will be hard. I wouldn’t mind adoption, however, that scares me because when I give birth, I fear that I might fall in love and realize that this baby is supposed to be in my life, not the adoptive parents. So I have a lot of choices to make. If anyone has advice, please feel free to give it. I’m open to anything right now.
Thanks
Hi, I am 18 years old and I am a mother of two. I have a little boy named Jamier and a little girl named Je’Zariah and I am a single mom.
I got kicked out of my house when I got pregnant with my daughter. My boyfriend left after I told him I was pregnant again. I am struggling but I am doing the best I can for me and my kids. My son right now is going through the terrible twos so I have my hands full with him. Also, my daughter is teething so I have a lot going on.
I just want to let anybody know if they ever need any advice, I would be happy to give it. I was 15 when I got pregnant with my son and 16 when I had him. I was still 16 when I got pregnant with my daughter and had her at 17. Now my son will be 2, December 2nd, and my daughter is 7 months.
Hi, I’m 16 years old and I have a daughter who is 7 months old. I love her very much.
I recently found out that I am pregnant again. I know that I can’t keep it as my partner, daughter, and I am living at my parents’ house and there is not enough room. It really sucks because now that I had my beautiful little girl, it’s scary to think that I will have to get rid of this baby inside me that could grow up to be the most wonderful person in the world… but there are facts like, not enough room. Just as I’m starting to be getting really big, my daughter will be starting to walk. She’ll be 17 months old by the time this other baby is born and she won’t understand why mummy isn’t around so much. Also why mummy’s so tired all the time. I just want her to have the best life there is and that’s what I wanted from the day she was born.
What do I do?
On Feb 23rd 2008, I went along with the procedure.
I had everyone telling me that it was the right thing to do, that the father was a loser and would never be there, and deep down inside, I knew they were right. After the procedure, I hid the pain and emptiness well. I never talked about it in front of anyone.
I just found out a few weeks ago I am 6 weeks pregnant. The father and I are no longer together but we are still friends. He has other children and he is not with their mothers either. Well, he wants me to have an abortion. He doesn’t want another child from a broken family. It frustrates me when he says that because I told him just because we do not live together and are not in a relationship doesn’t mean that we both can’t be there for the baby. I don’t think he realizes the medical risks, let alone the mental or emotional stress it causes.
I don’t know how get him to understand how i feel…
I saved my virginity for almost eighteen years, and I finally slept with a guy I have been in love with for three years.
Nothing went according to plan. I wasn’t even planning on sleeping with him that day, and within minutes, the one thing I held dear to my heart had been given away. Now almost a week later, I am so paranoid that I am pregnant and I don’t know what to do. I’m stressing so much I can’t even think straight. I feel like I have a fever and my stomach is in knots. I’m so tired. I don’t know what to do.
I honestly just want to die at this point. No, I’m not saying I’m suicidal, but I’m so scared. I don’t know what to do.
I was 15 years old and so much in love. Me and my boyfriend had been dating close to 8 months and it seemed so perfect until I told him I might be pregnant.
All he could say was you better get rid of it and make it go away. I was so hurt. Around that same time, my parents were lookin’ to relocate and I didn’t dare breathe a word of this to them… I was lost and confused and hurt all at the same time. My boyfriend gave me a single pill and told me to take it, that it would take care of our problems… I took it that Friday and nothing happened. I didn’t know what to think and then that Saturday, we had finished moving all our stuff and Sunday, we went to church…
After church that Sunday, I was cramping so bad it felt like someone was stabbing a knife into my stomach… I went to the bathroom and I was bleeding so bad like I had never bled in my life… I just broke down. I could feel the life draining from my body… It was over… I told my boyfriend and he said good, you took care of it. And he was happy while I was standin’ there with tears running down my face…
Needless to say, we broke up but to this day, I live with that pain….
