Hey everyone,
I’m 18 years old, graduating high school in 2 weeks lol, and just found out that I’m 9 weeks pregnant. This wasn’t planned at all. I don’t have a boyfriend, I had sex with my ex-boyfriend ( dated for 2 years, been broken up for a year… long story) and so yeah, I’m not sure what to do. I don’t want an abortion, but I don’t want to be pregnant. I’m supposed to start college 2 hours away from where I live. and my parents have no idea I’m pregnant. Neither does the father.
Help, please? I’ll take all the advice I can get. Thanks!
Sooo If my calculations are correct, I’m eight weeks pregnant, but still all the test results are coming out negative…
I have all the symptoms of pregnancy. New ones are showing up as weeks go by and old ones are seemingly getting worse…. My doctor has no answers for me. I’ve asked her to send me in for an ultrasound so that if I am pregnant I’ll know exactly how far along I am … Or that if it’s a false pregnancy, my mind will give up on the idea of pregnancy so that these symptoms will leave…..
I feel really lost at the moment.
You all know that I already have 2 children and I’m a single mother. Well, I found out yesterday that I am pregnant with twins. I am around 8 weeks already and I’m extremely worried. I didn’t want any more kids. I have 2 healthy, happy children. No one knows other than me and the doctor and I’m way too scared to tell the father. I don’t know what to do. I’ve done this twice before, but this just feels so different. I don’t believe in abortion and I don’t really want to hand these kids over to complete strangers to be raised. I’m going to have 4 kids under the age of 3 and I’m only going to be 18!
I guess I just needed to tell someone because it’s killing me keeping it inside.
Well…I think I’m going to start blogging about my life and relationship… Maybe people will read. Maybe people won’t. If they do, that would be great. If not, then I can give myself a good feeling by writing it down…
Well today, my boyfriend graduated from High School. He is 18 and is the sweetest man I have ever met. He graduated with High Honors and an Honor’s Diploma… He was a Parliamentarian of the student association and was involved with Varsity sports: Volleyball and Basketball. Today, he took his first step on the road that will lead to the rest of his life. As I watched him walk down to receive his diploma, I felt a rush of pride that I have never felt before.
He is very loyal, gentle, caring, sensitive, kind to others, reliable, intelligent, and very good at making my heart melt. We’ve been together for 7 months, not including the time period we got to know each other before we started going out. And of all this time, we have never gotten into a single argument or fight…
I’ve snapped at him, but began crying and apologized. He apologized and told me it was his fault. We were going through a rough time and he said something that came out totally wrong that I took the wrong way…which leads me to say that we’ve been through a lot these 7 amazing, scary, and rewarding months…
Well, although I have three more years before I graduate, I plan on supporting him and standing beside him with every step he takes down his path…Though I will be following my own path, I know our paths will intertwine. I will never let go of his hand through his journey and will continue to be my own person and love him at the same time. I pray to God that he helps us in our relationships and our journeys. Thank you Lord for sending me a true angel…
Congratulations Classes of 2010
You’ve reached so far, climbed so high. Now you’re done, it’s time to fly…
I’m right behind you, baby, I love you <3
After reading so many amazing and inspiring stories, I have finally plucked up the courage to share mine.
About 2 years ago, I saw an old friend of my older brothers who I hadn’t seen for years. I had a party the next day and he came with a friend of mine. We got talking and exchanged numbers and he went back home about 4 hours away but we stayed in contact. One thing led to another and I ended up leaving my job, family, and friends to move away to be with him. He already had 2 children with 2 different mothers and he told me he left the mother of the second child 6 months before I moved down. I came down to find out she had moved out the day before I came down. He was so sweet and loving for the first 2 months then he turned abusive and became dependent on me for everything. I used to find other girls’ underwear in the bed and I was constantly verbally abused by certain members of his family and his ex. His sister even tried to beat me up and I couldn’t hit back at the risk of him hurting me. He used to be heavily involved in drugs and was fast returning to that lifestyle and I was following close behind. By 6 months, I couldn’t afford to pay rent and feed us and support 2 drug habits, so I turned to prostitution. I was only 18 at this stage and at his suggestion, it seemed to be the only option.
I worked as a prostitute for several months and was heavily involved in drugs, i was on the verge of suicide because of his emotional abuse, which soon turned physical. I was isolated from friends and family and the one couple I was friends with, he soon banned me from seeing because he accused me of cheating with the male of the couple. Finally in December, he put my hand through a mirror and I needed 10 stitches. He refused to take me to the hospital and I nearly lost my hand. I’d had enough. Everytime I tried to go home to see my family, he accused me of running away and leaving him stranded. He always guilt tripped me into coming back. I plucked the courage to say I was going home, I was going to attend the local music festival. When I got in the car to leave, he texted me when I was at the end of the driveway, telling me not to come home. Conveniently, my phone broke so I had no contact with him. I was awake for 5 days over the period of the music festival due to a serious drug bender. But luckily during that 5 days, I had no contact with my ex and fell into the arms of my brother’s best friend who had always been a gentleman to me.
He looked after me and gave me a place to stay and supported me while I got sober and tried to get the remainders of my life back from my ex. I got little back, but I did Fall madly in love with my current partner. It took me a few months, but I had slowed down dramatically with the drugs and was only smoking pot on a weekly occurrence. But I had so many debts from my ex that I was still a working girl to pay them off. I was away working in March when i found I was pregnant. I had had an operation on my cervix when I was 16 which lowered the chance of me falling pregnant significantly. So this was probably it for me. So I was faced with a different question; Am i ready for this now? I had to ask myself do I want kids? Because it was now or never.
I decided to keep my baby. I instantly stopped working. I haven’t touch a drug since the day I found out and I’m at UNI studying business and marketing. I found out a few weeks ago I’m having a little boy and my partner and I so happy. He is 110% supportive. I am so lucky to have my little boy. He has saved me from of a life of degradation and unhappiness. He is my angel. I have an amazing family on the way.
I am so happy with my man and can’t wait for the arrival of my little boy!
So I decided to move to Kansas with my boyfriend. A few weeks ago, he started really showing me I could rely on him so I decided to give him a chance.
My dad just moved to Arizona because he retired and I came with him, just to stay a few weeks, but after that, I am moving into a duplex in Kansas. My dad offered to give me some money every month. So that will help a lot. I just graduated from high school a few weeks ago and I am now enrolled in community college. I am going to take online classes for 2 years. So now all I have to do is find a job over in Kansas, which might be pretty hard because I don’t think too many people want to hire a pregnant teen and my social anxiety gets in the way of being around people.. But luckily my boyfriend has a job this summer and is saving too. We found out the baby is a girl so we are naming her Jayda Lee… I already bought the crib and most of the baby stuff we need. So everything is going pretty good so far.
I am just hoping things stay the same.
