Hi, I’m 17 years old. 2 years ago, I had a miscarriage at the 8th week of pregnancy. After that, I started to use the shot not to remain pregnant for these 2 years. But I always wished that I could get pregnant.
I’m living with my boyfriend since I got pregnant for the first time and we want to have a baby again. I’m not sure If I want it to happen because I’m afraid that miscarriage will happen to me again… I think I can be pregnant already because I stopped using the shot for one month and we had unprotected sex when I was having my period. I took 3 emergency pills but nothing happened, and I’ve been feeling abdominals cramps, and more vaginal secretion.
Can I be pregnant? What should I do with my fear?
Period a week after Having Intercourse? Spotting??
I got my period September 3rd and then I had sexual intercourse on the 26th of Sept with my partner. I got light red/pink bleeding on the 3rd of October. But the bleeding wasn’t normal. It was like blood, with spots like with my firstborn! But what I don’t understand is if I am pregnant, how can this be because I had intercourse about 2 1/2 weeks from the first day of my period?! I feel light cramps and I urinate often and my lower abdomen feels sore and a little hard?
HAS ANYONE ENCOUNTERED THIS BEFORE?
Another thing is when I was pregnant with my daughter, my baby father slept a lot and now he is doing the same!! Am I?? I am going to the doctor’s to take a test but I feel that I am. I also have slight back pain (cramps) which I felt with my first child. I don’t know.
Please someone tell me that this has happened to them before! Is It Normal??
Here I was, 20 years old with 3 children, no education, no guidance, not one person to truly help me. To make a very long story short. I knew I had to do better for my children.
By the time I turned 16 years old, I had 2 beautiful daughters. Not quite understanding the importance of parenting, I did my best. In the relationship with their father, I was abused mentally and physically. He cheated numerous times and being that I was young without guidance, I stayed in the relationship until I gave birth to my little boy.
I went back to school and obtained my High school Diploma aka (GED) at a community school. Not only that, I accomplished a goal I never thought was an option for a single mother of three kids. I went to COLLEGE and obtained my AS Degree in business.
Not only that, my children are doing very well in school. Their grades are unbelievable, both of my daughters make A’s & B’s each marking period.
I think I turned out to be a GREAT MOTHER with GREAT CHILDREN.
To the teen mother/s that may be reading this today. Be encouraged, don’t give up on yourself even when everyone else does. Every story can have a Terrific ending. It’s up to you. Take it from someone who has walked in your shoes and once was there.
Blessed, Jasmyn
I finally took a pregnancy test tonight, and actually got the results I was hoping for.
I’m PREGNANT! Yay!
Just last week, I found out I was pregnant. This is so very hard for me because I am in my first year in college away from home. My boyfriend lives back home and just got a job the day that I found out I was pregnant.
Although I was terrified, I told my mother and she eventually told my father. They both are being very supportive of me even though I know they are extremely disappointed. This is very hard because my father does not like my boyfriend and talks down on him so much that it makes it hard to look at this situation with a positive outlook. I’ve already begun to plan for my next years in college. My main priority for me and my unborn child is for me to finish school so that I can sufficiently provide for my baby. I know it’s going to be very hard because it’s not easy being a 19-year-old mother. I’m looking at the future, hoping that the father of my child will be there, and not end up like his father, but I know there is always that chance that he could be gone in a New York Minute. I have tried to make a plan that involves him and one that doesn’t so in the event that he does leave I won’t be all alone without one clue as of what to do.
The best advice my mother gave me so far is to plan and look to the future, because adults don’t break down and let the situation get the best of them. They take the situation and guide it in which direction they want it to go in.
Dear Becky,
I am 17 and went through a lot with my pregnancy. Here’s my story.
My fiancé and I have been dating for almost a year. We got engaged in March. We did decide that we wanted a baby. I know babies are very hard to take care of and all that other stuff parents tell you about. But my Fiancé and I were total different about the situation. My mother knew about me getting pregnant but was on our side completely. She is one great mother. She supported us through it all. After going through all the hassle my dad gave my fiancé and I, we moved out. Things were very rough for awhile.
I went off the pill in the middle of the pack and didn’t get my period for over 4 1/2 months. I spotted on and off for those very long months. We kept on buying pregnancy test and they all came back negative. Until in early August. I tested on that first Friday, something just didn’t feel right. I was tired and getting sick but nope, still came back negative. That next Friday, I took another and it was positive! Amazing, freaked and scared at the same time, I told my boyfriend. He was ecstatic… We were so over joyed. My mother made me an OB/GYN appt. My levels they said were almost tripling.
By the fourth week, I started bleeding a pregnant girl’s worst nightmare. On the ultrasound, the doctor said something wasn’t right. This went on for over 2 weeks. Then finally, he said that I was miscarrying. It was the most empty feeling I have ever felt in my life.. Something so good turned out so bad. I didn’t know what to think or say.
Its been about 4 or 5 weeks since my miscarriage and all my fiancé and I can think of is have our own little one around. We are waiting till one full cycle to try again. But inside, I feel so lost. No one really knows the pain and hurt a girl goes through in situations like these.
Hope my story helps some people…
