Messed wit tha wrong person

I am 15 and in June, I had sex with this boy.  Now I feel soooo stupid because the boy I messed with wasn't my boyfriend or nothing, and he was a senior and I was a freshman. Not that bad, but I feel so nasty because we had sex at school in the boy's locker room....

Have my goals changed?

He started using drugs heavily, and since I didn't like doing drugs, let alone drinking, I broke it off. About a month after we broke up, I sat staring in my friend's bathroom, looking at a pink plus sign. It was faint, so I went to the expert on pregnancy, my...

I Wanted to Scream STOP

Dear Becky -- We were scared and I dont think we really thought about it.   So I made the appointment, and on the day of the appointment I just rode in the car and looking at my boyfriend just wanting my boyfreind to tell me, we should rethink this, a baby is a...

My precious little angel is gone

Dear Becky -- I was seven weeks pregnant. I didn't know what to do. I considered abortion for about five seconds. I felt I had to protect our baby already! I went to tell my boyfriend.  They had been cooking Garlic something for a family dinner. The minute the...

Show That Man What’s Right

The father's 37? He's my age and I do understand what you're going through. People like me have a knack for being stupid at times and getting involved with really young girls who're innocent (as compared to us) gives a real high. Enough of that. When I remember the...

A Crowded Womb Room

I still Consider Myself A Mom

With every day that passed, I hoped to wake up and discover that I had started my period and that things would be alright for me. But every day that went by without it, I felt more and more terrified that maybe my initial thoughts about being pregnant were right. I...

He told me his final decision

When I first got the clinic, they did the ultrasound and I found out I was 7 1/2 weeks pregnant. The ultrasound screen wasn't facing me, but I looked at it as soon as I got up off the chair and I shouldn't have done that. I was looking at my unborn child. Hi Lisa...

Surviving Single Motherhood

We spent a lot of time together that month. It was as if I was getting my “attention fix” the way a junkie would from a line of cocaine. I soaked up all the attention he was willing to give and enjoyed every moment of it. The end of this shallow relationship,...

No Matter Where You Are

The gynecologist wasn't in that day, so his wife attended to me. She asked me a couple of questions, and then asked me to lie down on the bed. On pressing my stomach, she frowned a little and said, "You could be pregnant". Yet until that very point, I still could...

We heard the heartbeat

A few days later, I began to feel weird. Everything I smelt made my stomach upset and I just wanted to constantly vomit and I did. I thought that I might be pregnant, but I didn't want to get our hopes up so I didn't say anything. I waited until it was time for my...

Life As I Knew It

This is the story of how my son came to be. I was 19, he was 37, I thought that he was the one. He was my first and as I saw it, my last. It was only the second time that it had happened and I was indeed naive enough to believe that I wouldn't get pregnant. One...

A rush of love

I went to the clinic for a consultant and my heart was pounding. Seeing my little buddle of joy on the screen, I had this rush of love for my baby. I used to talk to my baby and think of it 24/7 and I knew then I wanted it. I told my boyfriend and he said that it...

The first time

I told him and he was really supportive, but nobody else knew, not my mum or any member of my family. I went to the doctor's who confirmed I was pregnant, but I was upset. My mum has always said to me you will always have to have an abortion because you cannot have...

His parents said …

One morning, I woke up and I ran to the bathroom and threw up. I stayed home from school, thinking I just had the flu. I didn't even think about being pregnant. It wasn't until health class one day that I even thought about that possibility. We were talking about...

I felt like I could not breathe

I got there and sat in the waiting room with the millions of other girls sitting there alone and by themselves.  But I wasn't alone I had my boyfriend there, and I still felt as alone as ever.  I felt like cattle or something.  I went into the room by myself and...
