When I was 14 I my boyfriend and I decided we should start a family (he was 17), well.. What were we thinking!? Anyways, about 3 months after trying to conceive, I got pregnant! But I was definitely in denial! I missed my period each month and just made myself think nothing of it, then the baby started to move and kick and it started to feel real.
For those of you that don’t know my story, here it is.
My name is [redacted] and I got pregnant when I was 14. When my boyfriend and I found out we had no idea what to do. Of course, the first thing that came to mind was abortion. Yes, I am totally against abortion and adoption for this matter. I went to a health clinic with my boyfriend and discussed options. We still leaned towards abortion, but I would never do it so I just kept going on like every day was normal.
I hid my pregnancy for 7 months (I didn’t show)… I finally told my mom and she was the one that said I needed to make the decision. So I did. We decided to keep our little baby (of course).
I went for my first ultrasound to find out we were going to have a little baby boy (: He was due on Nov. 18.
I had my regular doctor’s appointment on November 8th. When I got there, he checked my weight and such to find out that my blood pressure was way too high, so I wasn’t allowed to go to school for the rest of the day or the next day. I had an appointment scheduled for when they first opened to check my blood pressure again.
I went there in the morning and he had me lay on my side for about half an hour. He came back and checked my blood pressure and it was higher than the day before. He told us I’d be having my baby boy that day (Nov. 9th). We went to the hospital and they started my IV drip of Pitocin. About an hour after, my doctor came and broke my water. From the time after he broke my water, I started to go into labor. Around 2 pm, I had enough and wanted something to help so I asked for some morphine in my IV… I waited 30 minutes and nothing happened. The nurses said they couldn’t believe how it did nothing.. So I asked for the gas and OMG let me tell you, it did wonders! So from that point on, I was on the gas, and I guess I liked it a bit too much because I wouldn’t stop breathing it and it was making my son’s heartbeat drop, so the nurse had to take it from me a few times… Oops. Just before I went into active labor, the nurses also told us my blood pressure was so high that I could have started to have seizures. Also, the reason for all the high blood pressure was because I had preeclampsia.
Anyway, the time for pushing came. I pushed for 30 minutes and our little boy was out (:. His father cut the cord. He weighed in at 7lbs 10oz and was 19.3 inches long. He had grey eyes and dark brown hair. His name is [redacted]. He has his father’s last name.
For 2 months after, I was home-schooled so I wouldn’t fall behind. After that, I went back for exams and I am still in school (:. I am currently working on my grade 11 year. My boyfriend (FOB) is working, and while I am at school, our son goes to his great-grandma’s. (:
For my plans after school, I plan on going to college to become a registered nurse and to do hair/piercings on the side (: .
Our son is now 10 months and almost walking! He has bright blue eyes and bleach blonde hair (: And he is such the little character, I love him to death.
I regret no decisions leading up to this point <3
I am here to talk to ANYONE,
Message me if you need anything <3
So you all know my son, who is 10 months old now! (I was 14 when I gave birth and now I’m nearly 16). As you guys know, I went to school up until the day before my induction (emergency induction). Yes, it was hard with the big belly and all but, you gotta do whatcha gotta do! Lol. Then about a month after Dallas was born, I was back in school after the Christmas Break! In between all that, I was home-schooled.
Yes, it’s hard being a teen mom and going to school with only having about 2 hours to do homework before your fiancée and little man get home. Those of you in school; high school or college, will know about the workload. I am currently in grade 11 with a mix of college and university courses. I am looking into being an RN (Registered Nurse).
Anyway, I am really busy spending time with my family and getting schoolwork done to do the best I can. I don’t have time for all my accounts anymore, so I am doing Teen Mom vlogs on my YouTube as well as videos of my little one (:
I hope you all can check out my YouTube and ask me questions and/or give me some suggestions!

Love you lots!

My weekly appointment was on November 8th. My blood pressure was high so he had me come back in the early morning on the 9th. My blood pressure was even higher than the day before so he sent me straight to the hospital. I was induced around 12, and my water was broken around 12:30 pm. My baby was out of my tummy at 4:15 pm. I managed to do it all on just gas. I did have about 4 stitches, 2 in different places and I am a little sore, also my blood count is down so I am on iron. Other than that I am doing pretty good. (:
He was born at 38 weeks and 4 days. They said if my blood pressure was any higher, I could have started to have seizures.
He was born November 9th, 2011 at 4:15pm, weighing 7lbs 10oz and 19.3 inches long.
Mommy and daddy are extremely happy to be able to have our little man in our arms. (: <3
I am 38 weeks and 1 day right now! 13 more days to go!! (: If you want to come early, baby, that’s quite alright too!! (: Me and Daddy are so excited to meet our little bundle of joy. <3
I am going to school every other day right now because every day is way too hard for me. I am still catching up with school work and I am not falling behind so all is good (: I have an exam on Tuesday for Civics since half the semester we do Civics then move on to Career Studies. Starting the 17th is when my home schooling starts though. A teacher will be coming to my house twice a week, both an hour and a half.
My doctor’s appointments have been good, and everything seems to be going well. (: Everyone thinks he is going to come early, and I have a feeling he will too.. So I hope so! <3
I have everything ready pretty much. My mom is just going to take some things to my grandpas to store there until we need it, like the high chair, exercoser, jolly jumper, bigger clothes, and stuff like that. Once that is out of my room, I will be getting another book shelf in here so I can put more of his things in it since I am running out of room in my room! Lol. All of his washed clothes and things are in his crib right now, lol. Thankfully, soon I can have my room all cleaned up, tidy, and ready to go for when the little one arrives. (:
I am nervous for birth. To be honest, I am scared about tearing and the healing after that. And about pooping D: ughh, lol. But I guess all I can hope for is the best, and my biggest wish is that he is a happy healthy baby like never seen before. (:
Today I am going to go see Paranormal Activity 3 with my boyfriend, and tomorrow he shall be coming here.
Hope everyone’s doing well and your weekend goes good!
See ya!
