This isn’t for the world, this is a journal for myself. But you’re welcome to know my story.
Friday, April 23 started the beginning of possibly nothing. My boyfriend of nearly 8 months and I decided to give it a try. We had been planning it for a while since we decided we were meant for each other. Well, it turns out the rubber broke. He about died he was freaking out so bad. Meanwhile, I decided he was freaking over nothing. But eventually, I started to worry. He couldn’t sleep or eat or even really concentrate. But he knows one thing, and that is that he loves me and nothing could tear us apart. Even though he blames himself for all the things that might happen, I see absolutely no fault. I just see a bright path, including a beautiful child we made together or another bright path leading to it when we are older and more prepared. I am 16 and a Junior in high school. He is 17 and a Junior in high school.
Yes, we are young. Yes, we have a small chance of making it together. But YES, I believe no matter what everything will work out. My mom supports us, however she is real laid-back. We’re waiting to tell his parents until we know if I am or not. There is so many cons to me being pregnant if I am. But there is so many pros.
Here begins the beginning of my wait. I will test in 9 days, wish me luck…
I am new here and I just want you girls to know that I know what it is like and I know what you are going through.
I was 18 when I found out I was pregnant. I was so scared and some people told me I should have an abortion. I didn’t though and I went to school. I didn’t have the father to support me, but I did have my family once they got over the shock. I thought about adoption but I really wanted to keep my baby. I went to college and it was really tough, but I did it. I now am married and have four wonderful children. My son is now 15 and he’s pretty happy I decided to keep him. If anyone wants to talk to me for support, I’m here. Don’t let anyone keep you down. I went to my prom 8 months pregnant and I was captain of my drill team till I couldn’t fit in my uniform anymore. I also graduated just a month and a half shy of my due date. You can accomplish anything you put your mind to, even when carrying your child.
Don’t let anyone tell you that you can’t.
Only two weeks have passed since I found out I was pregnant.
I went to the Health Center almost positive I could not be pregnant, I kept telling myself I was stressed, or lacking something in my diet that was causing me to miss my periods. There was no way I, a 15-year-old honor student, could be pregnant. Needless to say, when the nurse told me it was positive, I was shocked. When I told my mom the same day, she was disappointed but was still very supportive of my choice to keep my baby. The father, on the other hand, was not and totally denied the baby as being his. My mom and I immediately made a doctor’s and ultrasound appointment. We only had to wait a week for the ultrasound appointment which went very well. My baby has no obvious deformities, and he is a boy! Seeing him suck his thumb during the ultrasound is a memory I will never forget. Also, I found out I was exactly 19 weeks along (as I am writing this, I am 21 weeks) and he will be due September 2nd.
When my other family members found out, they were horrified. They told me it was either get an abortion or you are “banished” from the family. Despite what they said, I am still keeping my baby. I knew I could never go through with an abortion, because even thought I was scared, from the moment I found out, I knew I was in love with my baby. Thankfully, I have the support of my mom and sister and a few of my cousins. I plan on staying in school so I can get a good job and provide my baby boy with everything he could ever need and most of his wants.
The thought of holding my baby (whose name I decided will be Caden Jacob, or Caden Thomas) in only 19 weeks keeps me going and being able to ignore what my family, and the father, has to say.
Please help, I’m so scared!
How did you tell them? How did they take it?
My mum was a teen mum and had me at 16. I’m 17 now and pregnant with her first grandchild.
How in the world will I tell her? Do you think she will take it better because she was a teen mum?
PLEASE HELP!!!! xxx
Ahhhhhh, what a day.
Long car journey and am now at home, all curled up in my man’s room, watching TV, waiting for him to return from work. Good times. I am loving the mother life. Too many people worry about it.
It’s not an omen to have a child young.
So my little girl is a few months now and is growing up so fast. She is nearly crawling and is up on all fours, ready to go. I can’t wait to see my other half today.
Have a good night in 🙂
