Well, I became pregnant at 15 and I was so scared. I can’t even explain it.
I didn’t tell my parents. My sister did. They said, “Well, we can’t do anything bout it now you’re pregnant and abortion is out of the question.” All my life, I have been against abortion and at that time, I thought maybe I should do it. But when it came down to deciding, I chose to have her. Her dad cheated on me on our two-year anniversary so we were over. Then I found out she was a girl! I wanted the middle name to be Ann so I tried to find the name to go with it, her dad wanted Patricia Ann, but I couldn’t do it. I don’t really like them together. So I looked in a baby name book and found Natalie and I fell in love with it and so did he. I was induced July 13 and I had to go into an emergency C-section. They put me to sleep. I woke up and went to my room and found my beautiful 9lbs. 2 oz baby girl Natalie Ann. I love her so much. She was colic and a handful but I was able to deal with it. She is turning 2 years old next month and I’m beyond excited. Recently, I was doing a paper on teen pregnancy and found so many negative statistics. I have been trying to find websites that helped teen parents and I was about to give up and make my own when I found this one. It’s really great to see people helping each other.
Soon I will be out of high school (August 4th) and going to college to be a paralegal. My daughter has helped me grow up to be a mature person. It’s really great.
