My son’s father texted me last night for the first time in 4 months.
He did not care anything about his son. He only wanted to know how I was doing. He really made me feel like he doesn’t want anything to do with his son. I feel like I am going crazy because I don’t know what to do. I love my son it’s just I wish there was a way to change my son’s father, but keep my son the way he is. I have lost a lot in the past year and 5 months I have gained a lot as well. I may be only 17, but I know that I love my son more than I have ever loved someone. It’s just his father makes me wish that I didn’t get pregnant. I have worked so hard to give my son everything that he has needed. ♥
I just joined this site a few minutes ago. I’m not sure how all of this works, but I’ve read a lot of the stories on here.
I am looking for advice and support and I am very scared right now.
I am 20 years old, a 3-year college student with an extremely social life. I work at a bar/grill where I deal with alcohol and a crazy environment. I am studying radiology and just moved away from home, into my own place…and bought a puppy a little over a month ago. Well, my boyfriend and I were having a conversation a few months ago joking about what would happen if I were to get pregnant. We never thought this would happen to us. He and I have been through SO MUCH… and I’m about to share my story on him which is why I am in such a rut…
He and I started dating in July of this year, but have dated once two years ago and met five years ago. Two years ago, he left me for another girl and moved in with her…then left her for me again… He cheated on me early in our relationship and had continued his “cheating” for months without my knowing. Since I’ve known, I’ve been down/depressed/sad all the time, wondering what is going on or what I didn’t do right. He yells and says he misses how I used to be happy and a free spirit all the time and that’s why he fell in love with… But then why did he cheat? More stuff has happened and we argue ALL the time. But you can’t help who you fall in love with, it’s so hard… My family doesn’t like him and I can’t even bring him home. What hurts the most is when I picture my life.. I picture a great man who loves me and I can bring home and enjoy life with my family as well as the one I love, almost finished with college, married in a few years THEN children.
But we got ourselves in this situation and I am pregnant. I am so unsure what I am going to do. A baby doesn’t deserve to go through a rough/unstable home. It’s not fair. I also can’t do this alone, or at least I am scared. I know my mom would help and love it eventually, but she doesn’t want me to have this child either, due to him being a part of my life forever. It’ll be so hard for me to stay concentrated in school and to find a good man… What guy (my age) would want to be tied down to a single mother and child..? Gosh it’s so much to think about. I have always been against abortion and I really don’t think I could go through with it. It’s my decision.. but it’s also my life.
I am driving myself crazy thinking about this…
Any advice?
My son’s father did not show up to court. I have another court date. If he does not show up this next time, my case is dismissed which means I won’t be able to file again for a few months. I won’t have any money 🙁
So after the past two days of thinking that pressure was from my baby dropping, it turns out I have an upper urinary tract infection. THAT was causing all the bladder pressure.
I went to the ER last night because I thought the terrible pains in my side were appendicitis… Hey, according to WebMD, I had every single symptom. So after 26 hours of the worst pain ever, they tell me it’s a UTI. And I guess I’ve had one before. Yeah, then this morning they called me and said they messed up my urine culture & had to send it out again!!
I have micro benign recurrent hematuria (the lining of my kidneys is like tissue paper, micro amount of blood is in my pee), so many medications, including Tylenol, make them really sore after I take them.
I have a prescription for Bactrim to take twice a day for 7 days; woo hoo. I go to the doctor tomorrow for a regular appointment & follow up from last night. I’ve had the WORST migraine I have to tell my midwife about, because that can be a serious side effect.
OH, this isn’t even the bad news! Monday night, at like 2 a.m., I called the answering service about my pains, I was almost crying they were SO bad. I got put through to the on-call doctor, she returned my call and said, “All that pain is normal. Drink water and rest.” Seriously doctor? I do EVERYTHING I can before I call you dumbasses. I WAS chugging water, I was ‘taking it easy’. So, thank you doctor for NOT seeing me, even to check me out AT ALL that night & making me suffer through 24 hours of MORE pain. THAT could have been prevented by a quick pee test. They weren’t, I knew in my head they weren’t.
Baby boy has been locked & loaded in my pelvis. Or so I think.
About three hours ago (after going pee) I got INCREDIBLE pressure on my bladder like you can’t imagine & I have had the urge to pee like craaazy since.
I asked one of my friends who had a baby recently what it felt like and she said the exact same thing. I go to the doctor on Wednesday so I’ll ask then. I also think it could be a UTI, but I’m not sure. It doesn’t burn or sting when I pee, it’s just uncomfortable. Oh well, all things to ask on Wednesday.
I’m happy he’s so low though, I can breathe so much better and he’s let up off my stomach a little so I can eat a bit more.
I’ve also developed numbness in my left wrist.. Carpal Tunnel Syndrome maybe? Hey, I heard its common.
Other than that, everything’s great(:
Hello everyone. I’m 19 (20 in 5 months), engaged, and currently TTC with my fiancé. Well, I don’t know if I’m pregnant, but one of my friends who has twins said she thinks I am.
Here are the symptoms that she claims she experienced with her twins:
I am always nauseous and feeling like I have to vomit
I feel lazy
My weight has gone down
I barely have eaten in weeks because Im not hungry
When I do eat, its not much because I cant stomach much
I have a sore little pimple on my nipple THAT HURTS LIKE A ***** (sorry for tmi)
However, I have my period too even though it is slightly lighter. I took a pregnancy test the day my period was supposed to come down and it came out negative. Due to the fact I inserted a tampon, I drew it down. She claims she had all the same symptoms as myself even with her period. The only way she found out she was pregnant was by taking a blood test because her pee test kept resulting in negatives. I would like to know other people’s opinion.
