Hi, I’m 18  and I’ve had the greatest experience of being a new mom.

Although this is not my first pregnancy, I felt that everything was so new when I found out I was pregnant. I was pregnant once before when I was 15 by my first love of 4 years and I had an abortion because for one, I was too young and I wasn’t ready. At that time, I didn’t understand how it felt to have someone love you and care for you truly. Me and my best friend, whom I have called my brother since I was 6, happened to decide we love each other not in that brotherly-sisterly way anymore when I was 16.

A year went by great and Oct 25, I found out I was 3 months pregnant. I was in such shock. I’m 17 in my senior in high school and planned on attending a D1 University. Although it was a shock, I felt like I had a chance again because of what I had done before. Me and MY BOYFRIEND, whom became my fiancé the year before, were perfect. My pregnancy was so hard. I was always sick but I managed to stay on honors in school. it was a hard decision but I’m pro- choice. I worked and went to school everyday which I stopped doing two days before I went into labor. I gave birth to a baby girl I named her A’Bryauna. She was born on my class day, May 25. I love my daughter and I feel she loves me. It’s hard with me and my fiancé. I work two jobs and go to college and still manage to be a mom for us to meet ends totally on our own.

I feel great at all that I achieved and definitely loved!!!!!!!!!!! If I can do it, any1 can.
