I am 17 years old and 6 months pregnant. I am a senior and going to school, trying to get my life back in order.

My boyfriend at the time broke up with me in April when I conceived. I didn’t know I was pregnant and I talked to my friend and she made me get a test, but I knew I wasn’t pregnant. It couldn’t happen to me. I was at my friend’s house and went home because I had to watch my little brother. I took the test and it came out positive. I cried and I didn’t know how to tell my ex-boyfriend. I hadn’t talked to him in 2 1/2 months. When I finally talked to him, he was so happy and it made me feel better. Well, when I went to the doctor, she asked me what I wanted to do about my pregnancy. I wasn’t sure if I was ready to have a baby, but I definitely knew I wasn’t going to kill her. I fell in love with her once I saw her on the first ultrasound.

I get support from both sides of the families and it was the best decision to keep my baby.
