Being a Mum at 17

When I first found out I was pregnant, I was amazed and shocked considering I was only 16 =S.

My heart dropped when the first thing my mum said was to get an abortion. I was devastated….. Having emotional thoughts of what I was going to do was just crazy. I constantly thought of having an abortion but I just couldn’t do it….. I told my partner who I was with at the time, her dad… He walked out of my life and said you know what you have gotta do =S So when I was pregnant, I had no support. I got kicked out of home at 12 weeks into the pregnancy so… I was by myself with only some friends beside me…… My life changed completely….. And when I was due and had baby Isabella, my mum and the rest of my friends, the rest of my family who abandoned me when I was pregnant, came back to me when she was born and realized that I saved a life. I had my baby. It’s not my baby’s fault I fell pregnant. She’s innocent. I said it was my fault, my mistake, but she’s not a mistake. If she were to be called that, she was a damn good one……. I would never have given Isabella up. She is my world and I wouldn’t change that at all. Just don’t let something go if you’re going to regret letting your little one go… Because i thought about it and there was no way i could get rid of the little person growing inside of me … =)

And now i get to hold my little baby girl everyday and ….. She’s just always going to be the best thing that has ever happened to me xx

November 1st 2010

20 weeks today~ I decided to name my baby girl Noalie Alisa. She moves a lot now. I’m just waiting to see her foot poke out lol.

I’ve come so far, from telling my mom and having my so-called family yell and talk bad about me behind my back. Man, it was all worth it. I know every girl is scared to tell their parents but ask the girls who have. I bet you they’ll say it was worth the trouble. As far as school, I’m lucky because I graduate in May! But I gotta find daycare, which is expensive for babies. Daycare is my real concern for my baby. I will not drop out, that is not an option. I have a friend who dropped out in 10th grade (she failed, she was supposed to be in 11th with me). She’s pregnant, but she’s not doing anything about her education. She relies solely on her boyfriend who also dropped out! She even expects him to get a good job. She doesn’t wanna work at all, that’s what she told me. You cannot be like that. You have to support your baby. And baby stuff is not cheap! After i graduate, I’m going to work. I wanna make sure we can have everything.

Ahh, just 20 more weeks to go…

My story

Well, I’m 16 and I’m having a baby. I’m only 9 weeks along, but everything is changing.

I’m always feeling sick and tired and I’m always mad lol. I found out that I was pregnant 2 weeks ago. I didn’t really expect to be pregnant because my periods are irregular and me and my boyfriend were safe. But one day, I arrived at school and started to feel really sick. So I ran to the bathroom and puked. After that, I was very worried so I talked to my boyfriend and he didn’t believe me. The next day, my mom started to notice that I’ve been feeling really sick and tired. So she asked me if I was pregnant and I started to cry ( that was a dead give way lol). My mom brought me a pregnancy test and it came out positive. I was soooooooo scared. I didn’t know what to do. I am an honor roll student, school was my life. I never miss days of school and I’m only a junior. I told my boyfriend and he was a little scared but he straight out told me that he wanted to keep the baby. That he will take care of me and our soon-to-be baby. He has a job and works all the time now. His mom at first wasn’t very happy and she told me to get a abortion. At the time, I was already considering it, because i never wanted kids. But my mom doesn’t believe in that so she wouldn’t let me get one. I thought it over and decided that this baby isn’t going to ruin my life. I can still go to school and I can still go to collage. It will be tough, but I can do it. So I made my decision to keep the little baby that is growing inside me.

I know this is going to be very hard because my sister was pregnant at 16 and I have seen how hard it was for her, but she made it through alive and so can I.

Should i wait??!

I’m 14, turning 15 in a couple of days.

And I have a boyfriend… We have been going out for 4 months now. And we have talked about sex
and I have told him since we started dating that I’m not ready. Because I’m a virgin. He says that he’s gonna wait for me until we get married…Which is in like 2 years… But sometimes when I’m with him, it gets so tempting… And I try to calm myself down but sometimes, I just can`t…
And I think about it… And it’s so hard because I have no one to talk to… He tells me that if I get pregnant, he will take responsibility. I am so in love with him… But I’m not ready to have sex… I want to.,. I really do, but I can`t right now… I’m so confused… Sometimes, I cry because idk what to do… Should I wait… Or should I have sex with him just to make him happy? I’m scared that after that, he will just leave me…

I really need some advice.

i think im prgnant….excited but nervous….

I’m 17 years old and my boyfriend is 19. We have been together for 7 months, are deeply in love, and just recently became sexually active these past two weeks. He, you know, has been inside me 10 times.

Being pregnant wouldn’t necessarily be a bad thing or a burden for us but I’m also kinda concerned and nervous,  given that I have a lot of medical problems (currently a UTI/kidney infection and dermoid cysts and I have Von Willebrand disease). I’m afraid to tell my boyfriend how scared I am that something will be wrong with the baby if I’m pregnant. We’re both overjoyed at the strong possibility of my being pregnant, but I’m just so terrified of something going wrong.

What should I do?

The story

When I found out I was pregnant, it was the weirdest day of my life. I kept thinking that all of it was a dream. That tomorrow, I would wake up and think let’s go to school and see all my mates. But I woke up that day and it was there still, positive, telling me I was pregnant.

Obviously, I told my boyfriend first and he was saying, “Get rid of it cos you’ll be the laughing stock, the person who is bullied.”  So I was always thinking, hmm, should I? And in the end, yes, I kept the baby. My boyfriend dumped me and went off with some other girl. I had to carry this baby for 9 months, getting a new flat paid for by my grandparents who gave me it as a gift. Saying, “We will pay all for this so you and your baby are somewhere safe to stay and not in a cramped room at home.” And for 5 months of my pregnancy, I went to my own flat all by myself. One night at 1:00 am, I  went into labour. Both my parents rushed round and took me to the hospital to get ready for this baby to be delivered. I was in labour for 3 days and finally had a baby girl called Isabelle Grace, delivered at 10:24 am on the 19th June. I gave her her dad’s last name because i still wanted him to be a part of this even if he didn’t see her. That’s how she would commit to him.

On Saturday, a day after I took my baby girl home, my family helped out a lot that day, getting me back up into shape. But after that, I was fine with handling her and no longer needed too much help. So I let my mum look after her 2 hours a day so i could go to school for those 2 hours in the morning and spend the rest of the day with Isabelle.

And now in a week, she will be 1. The time has gone so fast and I would have it no other way because I love her with all my heart.
