This is my first pregnancy so all of these things are definitely new to me.
I would have to say pregnancy is the hardest thing to cope with as a teen especially when you can’t be around your friends how you used to. These past few months, I’ve had to move away and attend an alternative school where I know no one, but I suppose that everything happens for a reason. I’ve learned to accept my pregnancy though and I find myself really interested in learning about my changing body, taking care of the baby, and eating healthy….
Five more months to go.
My life has changed for the better since I had Skyler almost 4 years ago.
I was 16 & pregnant and going through life, making bad choices and making the wrong kind of friends. After I found out I was having Skyler, I changed my ways for my daughter to make her proud of her mommy. I quit hanging with them, got my life on the right track. I did all my homework, I worked really hard to keep my grades up. I think being pregnant made me work harder to provide for my daughter and change my life for her. I got all highs 80’s and 90’s in high school.
Having Skyler made me believe that just because I’m a mom doesn’t mean I can give up on my own future. I worked to be a better student, a better sister, a better daughter, and a better mother to my daughter, showing her that even though I was pregnant, I still put school/work first then friends. I wanted to make my daughter proud so I fought to stay in school, to have a better education, and so I can teach my daughter. Then I had Dylan 10 months after Skyler, same time. I kept my grades up and never missed any work. I graduated on time with my class. I took a year off to be with my kids and get a job so I can support my children and get what they need like food, diaper, clothes… I never though I would be buying baby diapers at 16 years old instead of buying a prom dress or going drinking with friends. I grow up faster then normal teens, but it made me stronger for Skyler, Dylan, and Baby #3 on the way. I’m working to keep my kids happy and so they can live a happy normal life like I wish I had. I wouldn’t change nothing bout my life…
Now I’m a 20 year old mother of 2 amazing, adorable kids; a girl, boy, and baby on the way, Amazing friends who help me if i need them, and wonderful sisters who helped my during my pregnancy with Skyler and Dylan and taught me everything I know to this day. I would not be the mom I am now without my sisters’ help.
I owe my life to them both for helping with everything.
So….Today’s the day.
I’m telling my dad. I’m not sure how he’s going to take it…But I hope he’s not too disappointed…
Hey everyone…
I haven’t written a blog in forever. I found out almost a week ago that I am pregnant. I am 19 years old, with the father of the baby, and we have been together for a year and a half. I love him very much and he is wonderful at supporting me emotionally and in every other way. I will be a little under a month away from 20 years old when my baby is born. If it’s a girl, we have chosen the name Lily, and if it’s a boy, we chose Sebastien. I hope everything works out. I am scared to tell my mom and dad because I was pregnant 6 months ago but lost the baby. I think she is going to be very mad… Has this happened to anyone?
Much love,
When I was 20, I found out I had PCOS and told I’d have a real hard time conceiving.
Here I am at 24 and just discovered I am pregnant after spending 3 years feeling really down that I might not be able to have a baby. I am in a loving relationship which is fairly new as we have only been together a year and a half but the best relationship I’ve ever been in. BUT
We are both not ready… I am currently unemployed and being supported by my father and my partner is working part-time and lost at what he wants to do career-wise… All the negatives out of the way, the positives to keeping this baby… But something is stopping me at this moment and I’m so frightened.,. Can I bring a child into the world being financially supported by my dad???
HELP!!!
Hey everyone,
OK… I know you all know what it feels like to struggle with stuff, go through hard times, have fears and questions, and feel lonely and confused. We all go through times like that. Well, I was getting to a pretty low point in my life… like LOW. I have grown up in church my whole life, and have been a Christian since I was very little, but I drifted away in the past couple years. And I had given up on the hope that anyone could care about me enough or love me enough to save me from falling. I couldn’t feel God there at all, and I even doubted that He existed.
But then… I went on a youth retreat with my church, I guess almost as a final attempt to feel anything. To feel God again. And I don’t know how, but something changed… And I FELT him. I FELT His love for me. I was SHOCKED by his forgiveness and acceptance of me even though I seriously screwed up ALOT. I don’t know what your beliefs about God might be or even if you believe in Him at all, but I just wanted to invite any of you who are interested or have questions or opinions about God and being a Christian or anything like that, I’d love to discuss it with you… I’ve said before, I don’t judge people. I have messed up horribly in the past. I have no right to point any fingers. And I promise I’m not going to preach at anybody lol. I’m a Christian and I can’t even stand it when people do that.
I’m just inviting anyone to ask any questions or discuss beliefs with me who wants to. I know a lot of you are probably going through a very difficult time right now… I just wanted to remind you that God cares and is there for you! and i care too.
Check my profile out and be my friend if you aren’t already! Love to hear from you…
