Okay so. I’m pregnant with nowhere to turn. I have nothing. Sometimes I get so emotional I can’t even think straight.
I want to keep my baby. My heart tells me it will all be alright. Then I start thinking. I don’t have a job. I haven’t finished my education. I have nothing to offer a baby. I don’t want my child to suffer. I was unsure I was pregnant for a while until I was brought to the hospital for alcohol poisoning. Blood tests showed I was pregnant. I don’t want my baby to have birth defects & know it’s my fault. I know who the father is but we have nothing to do with each other. I never want us to either. So that creates another problem for me. I haven’t told anyone except my friends. I don’t know how I’d ever tell my mother. 🙁 Or any of my family.
Suggestions are greatly appreciated!
So, I am 17 years old and recently found out I am around.. 4 weeks pregnant?
I have always been against abortion and never really understood it until I got pregnant. My boyfriend and I have been together for a little over a year and we did not plan this at all. I really do not know what to do because I feel as though I already love this baby so much, but at the same time, I am not ready for the responsibility. I am not ready to go to school, work, and come take care of my baby every single day 24/7. I am worried that having this baby is going to tear my relationship apart and we are going to end up miserable and I am terrified to tell my parents. At the same time, I am worried about my emotional state if I do decide to abort. I am really torn between my choices and I really need advice.. every single day I think about what I should do…
I just want to make the right decision. Please!!
Hello ladies…
This is the second pregnancy that I am entering… I would like to start off and say that it’s scary being a teen mom because you don’t think that you will be able to take care of your baby but you’re wrong. There is always help that you can get! My first pregnancy, I was 17 almost 18 and I made a mistake. I just broke up with my boyfriend of two years and went to a party and well what do you know two weeks later, I found out I was pregnant. I thought about keeping the baby so hard and I knew I could do it but the father was a complete jerk! He made my life a living hell… So I went to the abortion clinic and got an abortion. I felt so alone and soo horrible like I was a murderer. I was too stupid and immature to understand.
Now at 19- almost 20, I am pregnant with my little boy Desmond, and I am super excited again. It was not planned but me and my boyfriend are super excited to raise our little boy….. Even though we don’t live together, we know that we can give this baby all the love and nurture he needs…. Don’t let anyone make your decision look inside yourself and you will find the answers ….
Your parents and/or boyfriend will come around. They just need time to think about what you told them.

Well I decided to post my story though it is going to be hard and painful. I’m going to post it in two parts. From ages 0-14 then 15 until now.
Well, my story starts like everyone else’s, with my birth…
I was born in Arizona to a loving mom and dad. We lived the ideal life. My mom was a pediatrician and my dad was a neurologist. My parents had tried for four years to have a baby. My life went great until I was about eight years old. When I was eight, my uncle moved in with us for a while because he had lost his job. I never really knew him because he had lived in Washington my whole life. At first, things went perfectly. He would take me to the movies, the mall. He watched me after school every day. He was super nice and I loved and trusted him! But sometimes, I would feel a little uncomfortable. Just little things like he would want to help me bathe, hug me and kiss me a little too hard and long. Then one weekend, when my parents went to New York, my uncle come into my room and raped me.
He lived with us for a lot longer then we expected and the abuse went on. It happened at least twice a month and as anyone could guess, I got pregnant at twelve years old. I did not tell anyone and I eventually suffered a very painful miscarriage one night. The abuse continued until I was fourteen and I became pregnant for the second time. This time I expected that like the last time I would miscarry but I didn’t. It was not until I was seven months pregnant that my mother found out. She had come home early one night and I had fallen asleep in a tank top (I had worn HUGE sweatshirts to hide it). She didn’t yell, just said we had to talk about this. The whole story came in a great wave and she told my uncle never to come back. At eight and a half months pregnant, I had a little girl and named her Kathryn Elisabeth. I entrusted her wellbeing to a couple who couldn’t have children. I receive pictures of her all the time and her adoptive mother emails and calls me all the time.
I have never regreted giving Kate the home she deserves.
I just wanted to get back on here and let everyone know that I am so thankful that I made the decision to keep my baby!!
It has been almost 2 years and with the economy and all (everything is bad), we ARE making it. With PEYTON!! He is healthy and I am really enjoying being his mommy. He makes me laugh and I am so thankful every day for him. I recently told my husband that I believe with all of my heart and soul if I would have made the decision to abort, I don’t think we would be together today.
I believe I would have never been able to get over the pain and guilt and I would have resented him.
I had sex about 12 days ago.
2 days ago, I started spotting brownish blood (not even enough to fill a liner, and btw, this has never happened before). Then, this morning, I began to bleed heavier with some mild cramping for a while (a couple hours). Now my bleeding has dwindled to light bleeding every now and then. I would like to know if you think this is deciduous bleeding (bc I had only a few clumps with light bleeding). I have had a continuous higher temperature for about 3 days now and have had headaches, constipation, and a loss of appetite.
I would just like to know if anyone else has experienced this with their pregnancy. Thanx!
