My story, I am a 17-year-old mum. I have a beautiful girl who is 19 weeks old today. I am not with her father. He is in her life but we have never been together.
It was a one-night stand. He never really bothered with me. Well, I was pregnant as he was too scared so he said but at the end of it, I went through it all on my own. Yeah, I had my family but it’s not the same. Even though I have no feelings for him it wasn’t very fair. I didn’t see him 4 the last 20 weeks of my pregnancy. I think altogether while I was pregnant, I’ve seen him 15 times. That was once a week at the beginning as he has a flat and me and my mates used to go ’round. Then he turned up at the hospital once I’d given birth. He did want to be there but I didn’t let him as he had no right. He hadn’t been there for me. Now he expects to see his daughter all the time and, me being me, let’s him but now I’ve had enough.
I stopped him seein her 4 a week cuz he doesn’t give me muney for her but he tans drugs which, in my eyes, is wrong. He now has promised me he will change. He is seein’ her today as I write this but if he doesn’t, then he is going to loose her. People might think I’m being harsh but I’m sick of him treating me like a dike. We’re not even together.
My Labour- Well, I was in established labour for 6 and half hours but I had been gettin pains from 1-2 in the morning and had her at 4.32 in the afternoon. I had 20 stitches. She weighed 7 lb 5 oz after them saying she were gonna be small. She grew a lot, lolz. Bein a mum is the best thing evah. That little girl is my everything. I don’t know where I would be without her.
For you girls thinking bout abortions cuz u can’t cope, you can. I’ve done it on my own and people comment on how well I’ve done. You can do anything if you try. Having a child at a young age isn’t clever but for us who don’t mean to get pregnant and do all, I can say for people who say out bout us is we faced up to a responsibilities. It’s obvious what was intended for us as everything happens or a reason.
Well, that’s all I wanted to say. Well done to all you teenage mums out there who are trying there best to be a good mum. Ignore the comments and the dirty looks. They don’t know how hard it is being young with a child. We’re trying our hardest. That’s all that matters. x
