Being a young mum is one of the hardest jobs in the world, especially if you’re a single mum. Like the newspapers say, we’re babies having more babies. Which is kinda true in a way? We aren’t financially secure, which is a big thing and we all have to drop out of school at some point to look after our children.
But being a mum comes as a blessing, and a lot of teens are happy to be a mum even if it’s unplanned. As long as you’re happy and you know, you have made the right decision. Then I don’t see what the problem is.
Family and other people judge and predict what are futures will be like. But they don’t think that it will only be like that if they keep saying it over and put it in our minds. But if we are supported like we’re supposed to be, I know for a fact young mums can make it into the world.
If we push ourselves to do well for our children and prove to ourselves, we can make it in the world. And we can do a good job like any other adult in the world who has a child and is a single mum. Then there isn’t a big difference really apart from the ages.
Every young mum has a role model.
But I found every young mum’s role model is their mum. We disappoint our parents when we have unplanned pregnancies and they know what it’s like and that’s what our parents try to protect us from. But parents have to just learn to deal with it, be supporting, and just trust our decisions and not judge us as we all ready receive it from other people.
To be continued…
In January, I had my first normal period after my miscarriage that happened in December. I spoke to my doctor about it all and she informed me that after having a miscarriage, when I got my first normal period, my hormones were back to normal and I would be able to conceive again and stuff. With that said, here’s the story.
On December 26th, I moved to Calgary, AB, Canada. Shortly after, my boyfriend followed on February 10th. We didn’t plan on sleeping together until the 14th, but we did happen to get carried away. We were partially protected -meaning, we started unprotected and then he put the condom on after- the one thing we were unaware of though, was that pre-ejaculation can get a girl pregnant too. So it really didn’t matter in the end.
I was supposed to be getting my next period on February 24th and I am always regular. No less and no more. I ended up getting my period on the 18th of Feb and it was lighter than normal. Virtually painless and ended on the 21st! Never in the 9 years that I’ve had my period have I had one that was less then 8-9 day -except my VERY first period, when I was 10. When it had stopped, it was as if I had never bled!
I know it’s only Monday today, but when I first got pregnant, I was noticing changes within the first week and the second week the most, then it calmed down and got worse and it was just all over the place. Any ways, with that said this week, I have been feeling quite weird.
Here is a list of the things I’ve been feeling!
1. Headaches
2. Dizzy Spills
3. Never feeling full – always eating something!
4. Slight cramping in my lower abdomen on the right side mostly
5. Trouble getting to sleep at night
6. I get depressed easier with random bursts of energy and happiness
7. My nipples get sensitive and then are fine randomly through out the day
8. The veins in my nipples are more prominent at times and not as prominent at others
9. I have days where I am constipated and then others where I can’t stop going #2
10. I am feeling bloated – which has NEVER happened before, except my last pregnancy
11. I feel pregnant
12. My lower back is beginning to hurt
13. Fatigue – I can sleep 6hrs., 8hrs, or even 10+hrs and I’m still always exhausted
14. At time I feel boiling hot and start sweating and at others I’m just at a normal temperature
15. At times I feel nauseated, without throwing up 16. And last night I had a weird taste in my mouth
17. As gross as this sounds, I can usually handle the smell of poop or farts, but lately they make me want
to throw up and I start to gag
18. My gag reflexes are more sensitive then normal
The weird thing is that I sometimes don’t feel ANYTHING for like, half the day and then it just it just hits me like a brick wall! I don’t know what’s wrong with me and I don’t have time to go to the doctor just yet, because I work 5 days a week and the days I have off, I relax because I have bad legs, but there sure is something going on inside my body!
Well, that’s all for now, I’ll keep this blog updated as much as I can!!

I feel like everything is happening soo fast.
I still have a lot to do for my wedding. My finals for my school are this week and I haven’t even had the time to study cause there is no quiet room in my house. I work all the time, which is why I’m writing this because I’m on my lunch and then I go back to screaming people on the phone because I do work at a call center, lucky me… Well anywho, I have to get back my lunch is over…
(I never get to finish anything )
Hi, I’m kinda new to this.
I lost a baby last June, tough huh? It would have been due around about now. and now I’m late, which I never am. I took a pregnancy test and it said negative and I thought maybe it’s too early to tell. When I lost my baby, it was the only thing I wanted more than anything. Now it’s scaring me more than the first time, probably because I’m scared it will happen again. I’ve always wanted to be a mum more than anything.
So scared. :/
I was 18 when I found out I was pregnant… I will be 19 when my baby comes into this world…
Telling my mom and other fam about my pregnancy was tough, but what made it worse was that no one seemed to care about what I wanted. All that mattered to them was that I should get an abortion… All I heard was it’s going to be hard, you can’t do it… Whether I had my baby or not, life was still going to be hard. A baby wasn’t a major setback for me… It actually motivated me to want to achieve more than I had planned to in life… I love the fact that I will be a mom in 2 months and I don’t regret a thing nor do I think this was a mistake… All of my fam now wants to be supportive but I’m still iffy about the whole thing…
I feel that they shoulda been there from day one. Yea, it was a lot to take in, but they acted more like kids than mature adults!!!!!
Okay so, I need some advice on what to do and think.
I’m 14, going to be 15 in April, and I have a very bright future, but I am worried that I have become pregnant. My boobs have been hurting, which could be from going to the gym. I’ve been feeling nauseated and blotted almost nonstop. I’ve been getting horrible cramps mostly in the morning. And been more tired than usual. I’m on medication birth control, mood stabilization, and ADHD. I stopped taking all of them on Wednesday since birth control made me start my period and the other medication can cause birth defects, and if I am pregnant, I want the best for my baby. I have talked to my boyfriend about it and we both decided abortion is not the answer for us if I am. I want to tell my mom about it, but then my mom will just become angry at me and him so I haven’t said anything really to any of my family members. This scares me badly because this could mess up a lot of my future plans. But I would do anything for my kid. It would be too soon to take an over-the-counter test and to go to the doctor’s. My mom would have to know because she is my doctor.
Please give me some advice or something. I’m going insane over this!!!
