Everyone was saying that being a mom at 16 would be hard. What I have learned is that people build stuff up to the point where it seems like you won’t be able to handle what is going to come. For me, I have found that things are not as hard as everyone said they would be. There are times were it has been hard, but there have been times where it has been very easy. Things are not what I thought, but they are not as hard as people were saying.
My whole life, all I’ve wanted was to be a mom. Now I’m married and it’s only been 1 month and all I can think about is wanting that child. I feel selfish because if we were to get pregnant right now, I know that we would have a hard time providing the support and life that a child should have. Why am I so obsessed with this!? I would do anything to be able to turn off my brain and just be a happy newlywed that is happy with where her life is right now 🙁
I am 22 years old and I just found out I’m 4 weeks pregnant.
I’m going into my final year at university, and hardly have any money to provide for the baby. And I’m worried if I have the baby, I won’t be able to cope, in many ways. I don’t know if I’ll be able to finish uni. The other thing is that I’ve been with my boyfriend for only 3 months even though I went out with him when I was 16 and we got back together. He wants the baby, but I don’t know if I love him and I would be trapped with him if I have the baby. He’s already got another child and he wants me to look after the child as well as mine once I get a place of my own. But that would be waaay too much for me to cope with. I can barely come to terms with looking after my own child. I don’t agree with abortion. Every time I think about aborting my baby, I feel like crying so much. I don’t know if I can live with myself aborting my own baby, but I also feel like it’s my only choice.
I really need some advice from someone desperately as I’ve booked an abortion appointment on Saturday but I still don’t know what to do.
Wanting, hoping, waiting, and praying.
To have a little one to call our own.
Getting tired of trying and failing.
Just want to make our house a home.
When is it going to be our turn for a baby?
There is this emptiness in completing our family,
This is really driving us crazy!
Maybe one day it will be our time for joy,
Until then we must stay strong and keep hoping
Please pray for us and sprinkle that baby dust upon us!
I’m 21 years old…and I never thought this would happen.
I’m so nervous. I’m so confused. I don’t know if I can keep it…or if I should abort it. I know it all comes down to MY decision.. but I’ve never felt so lost before in my entire life. My boyfriend says he supports me in whatever decision I happen to make… but would rather me have an abortion. The cons outweigh the pros it seems. I’m scared I’ll regret the abortion.. but I’m scared I’ll get into the pregnancy and regret that as well. I’ve never really agreed with abortion… I guess cause I’ve never had to consider it before… I feel selfish for even THINKING about it. My emotions are everywhere.. ugh What to do… What to do…. ??????
Hi girls, I am not pregnant.
I signed up for this site because my final project in health is all about teen pregnancy. I did come from a teen pregnancy. My mother was my age when she gave birth to me (16). She kept me and went back to school. She had lots of support from my grandparents, and my father for a little while. He is no longer in the picture. I want to know if some of you are willing to share some of your experiences with your pregnancy and ideas on what you want to do with your baby and if you’re going back to school. Please write me back within the next couple days!
If you want to know more about my mom’s story and how she raised me and stuff, ask me your questions and I’ll pass them on to her. She will be more than willing to answer them for you!
