Some People in this World

So I am 16 and I had a daughter that was a victim of an abortion…..

So yea, a lot of people say that it is okay to get one but it is killing your child…

THEY HAVE FINGERNAILS AND EYES AT 2 MONTHS!!!!!!!!!!!!

excited

Well, where to start? I am new to this site, obviously. I am sixteen years old, I will be seventeen next week. I am about thirteen weeks pregnant.

Being completely honest, I was petrified at first. My boyfriend, eighteen years old,  and I have been together on and off for the last three years. Telling him , and getting his reaction, is what scared me most. All guys will say they want kids, until the moment comes. Surprisingly, he was happy. Neither of our parents know, but that is for certain reasons. I can honestly say no matter what, I really think my boyfriend and I will be by each other’s side no matter what. When we were not in a relationship we still talked everyday. He has always been my best friend. I haven’t gone to the doctor yet, I’m making my way there though.

Wish me luck! <3

Sparkles

I should be writing this assignment — I am already one day late.

But I don’t want to. I want to write here. I don’t even know what I want to write.

I want to write that I am a woman. That I love being a woman. To be able to have life grow in me, to be able to face this world with dignity, and to be able to treat my body like a temple.

I sometimes wonder what is wrong with me. I am just so in love with life and everything sometimes, for no particular reason at all. The world can be falling down around me, and I let it fall, I let it all burn, and I smile during the fall.

If it ends, let it end in a stunning display of sparkles.

And then one day, without even realising I had being falling, falling for a while now, one message, just a few words, from somebody whose face I had not seen for over a month; and I feel like somebody just caught me in their arms.  I don’t know for how long they will hold me, or if they will drop me now and I will keep on falling.

All I can do is smile and be happy, and not be afraid of what’s around the corner.

I feel loved. At least one person, at least in words, tells me that they care about me a lot.

I just feel happy.

THIS IS ME

I am 7 months pregnant, I just turned 17 and I am still with my boyfriend but he is not the father of my child.

At first, I was scared of being pregnant. How am I going to provide, how will I finish school, how will I tell my mom. But long before I knew it, I started to think like a mom, things began to become easier and started to fall into place. And now I cannot be any happier. I’m going to be a mom.

For those out there, anything you may be going through, feel free to talk or ask me, I’ve been there, done that, and I’m still going. I would like to share anything I can because I know how scary things can be.

My Baby Girl’s story

This is the first time I have shared my story of my pregnancy and my baby girl properly.

When I was in College, I got pregnant by my long-term boyfriend and although a shock at the time, we soon became very excited by the prospect of becoming parents. We both love kids and come from large families so knew we could do it and have support. Unfortunately, the excitement was fairly short-lived. At only 24 weeks, I started to get cramps, immediately went to the doctor’s who told me I was going into labour. My heart sank, I knew that my baby girl would be too small and was not ready to come into the world. But there was nothing that could be done when we got to the hospital as I was already 8 cm dilatated.

My baby girl was born on October 4th, 2004, we named her Mya. She was so tiny but so beautiful. However, our worst fears were confirmed. Her little body was too small and fragile to fight for long. She died the same day. Mine and my boyfriend’s world fell apart, but through everything, we had each other and slowly, life goes on.

It has now been 3 and a half years since our baby girl came into the world and left us. Me and my boyfriend are still together and are stronger than ever. There is not a day goes past when we don’t think about her, and we hope she knows that we love her and always will. We are beginning to look to starting a family again in the future, but know that no child will ever replace Mya. She will be forever in our hearts and minds and we will always cherish the few precious minutes we had with her.

I know there are girls on this website that have unfortunately been through similar situations. /i felt the time was right to share my story and try to help others in the same situation. It anyone needs support or advice, I don’t claim to be an expert, but just leave me a message.

My Story Could be Yours

Hi Everyone,

I am so happy you are stopping by to read this. I hope that it will guide some of you that are in a very tough stage in life. You may have an unplanned pregnancy and have no clue what to do. You may feel like the world is on your shoulders and you can’t think straight. This BABY is scaring you and you are looking for answers. Some of you are thinking of Abortion. Some of you think there is no way you could do that and are thinking of adoption but heck where do you start with that? And some of you want to parent this child but know that everyone around you will judge you and get angry with that decision. Some of you are thinking how the heck do I tell my parents I am pregnant and what are they going to make me do? Let me tell you one thing if nothing else. YOU ARE NOT ALONE AND YOU HAVEN’T BEEN FOR A VERY LONG TIME. Women all over the world right now are in your situation. Some of those countries have legal abortion and some don’t. Some are going to allow adoption to good families and some aren’t.

In America, we have many choices. You only need to see that by walking to a grocery store and the walls are lined with a thousand different ketchups. Isn’t it all made from tomatoes?

If you are pregnant in America ,you have 3 choices: abortion, parenting and adoption. I chose abortion 2 times in my life and I chose parenting 2 times. Out of those 2 choices, parenting was the way to go. People are going to ask you later in life if you have more kids, “How many kids do you have”. I tell them I have two here on earth and 2 in heaven. If you have an abortion, that is where you child will go. If you have an abortion, that maybe the only child you will ever have.

After 15 years and 4 pregnancies later, I decided that my life was a mess and I needed to make some changes. I went to a healing study for women that have had abortions. Here’s the part that we are not told when we decide to have an abortion. Later in life, you will realize that it was a child and you will be lost. Through the healing study, I was allowed to grieve my children and have a memorial for them to connect with 2 children whose lives where ended with a choice to have an abortion.

This is just a short summary of my life and if you have made it this far in reading, then I hope that you will contact me. I am a 34 year old single mom that has found laughter in life. My goal is to share my story with other young ladies that are in an unplanned pregnancy, let them know their options, and if you have had an abortion and you are lost and feel terrible, I will help you to understand why and how to get past that awful feeling that you are nobody for having an abortion.

I am now a trained post abortion counselor and next year will be on the road talking to young men and women about the truth of abortion, how to heal from an abortion and really truly move on from the choice they made or are thinking of making.

If you are still reading and would like to throw some comments my way, could you please answer this question-

If I was in an unplanned pregnancy, I would not have an abortion if I knew ?????

If you have had an abortion, what would it have taken to not have made that choice?
