Make the right desicion

I first fell pregnant at 14, I was naive and very young, I had missed a period and suspected i was pregnant, i told my boyfriend at the time and he dumped me the day before i took the test. He completely abandoned me and soon he said his cousins were in prison and would hurt me if i kept the baby, his friends started to threaten me and soon all my so called friends bitched about me, this resulted to me moving to a new school and area.

I didnt have to tell my parents, my mum already knew somehow, I loved this baby that was growing inside me, but my parents were very upset, in they end they persuaded me to have an abortion. Before the abortion i met a lovely guy and im still with him now, he has been so supportive. After the abortion i suffered serious depression.

I am now 17 nearly 18 and have been with my boyfriend for nearly 3 years, I am pregnant again and him and my family have been very supportive, I am just about to move out and plan to keep the baby.

I still think about my aborted baby and how life would be now if i had kept it, it will be a decision that will haunt for the rest of my life, I would just like to say to all the young girls out there please protect yourselfs not just from pregnancy STI's too.

I am happy now but things dont always turn out that way. Please thinks about what you are doing.
Thanks for listening xxx

Not stopping ends with 2 boys

When I was 24 I got married to a wonderful man who I know will always be there for me. We got pregnant a year later after only trying 1 month. 9 months later we had Caroline and 12 months after that we had Brielle. Getting pregnant was easy for us and that was good because we wanted a big family.

When Caroline was in grade 2 and Brielle just started grade 1, I was pregnant again. Along came Alice and Curran, twins. We had always wanted 5 kids so we decided to try for 1 more.

We miscarried 5 times and this last time we held on for 36 weeks, welcoming twin boys, Benjamin and Aaron into our arms.

I am so glad we decided to try again and not give up, otherwise I wouldn't have two toddlers waking me up in the morning or two always entertaining people to watch while I fold laundry.

Frustrated with trying

I have a wonderful little boy Gavin. He's almost 2. My husband and I have been married now for almost 4 years. When our son was about to turn 1, we started playing with the idea of having another baby.

Well finally after 8 months of trying, we found out we were pregant. We were so excited. Unfortunately the pregnancy wasn't right from the start. I was having really bad headaches everyday. I was so tired all the time i could barely stay awake for my son, but i managed.

Then in my 13th week, i started spotting. That morning I was so sure it was nothing that i would just go to the doctor and she would tell me everything was fine. Well she didn't. I was told that at 5 weeks the egg tried to split and make twins but they never developed hearts so i had to go in and have a DnC done.

So that was 6 months ago and still nothing. We want another baby so bad, but not having much luck.

Thanks for reading.

Am I pregnant?

Hi, most months I have pretty regular periods with every month being at least 2 days early. This month me and my bf have been having unprotected sex and I was 3 days late which is very abnormal for me.. (I'm never late).

So I started yesterday morning with horrendous cramps and horrible back aches which are also a little rare.. I normally don't have periods this bad... anyways today (Wednesday, 2 days later) I am not showing any sign of being on my period... for some reason there isn't any spotting or anything which is also abnormal considering most months last at least 2 heavy days and 2-3 light days.... I still have some cramping too in my stomach and have been a little more tired. I have also taken 3 preg. tests and they've all been negative.

I took 2 before I expected my period and 1 yesterday when I was still bleeding... do I need to wait a little longer to test again or does this sound like I'm pregnant?? PLEASE HELP! Thanks!

Reply to "I Want A Child"

Okay, maybe you should wait until you have a job, or your own house and are financially stable. It's very selfish of you to want to bring a child into this world without being capable of taking the best care of it possible. If you truly want a child, then wait until you can give it all the proper care it deserves. Too many young girls these days want babies because they "love their boyfriends so much."

Let me tell you something, I've had numerous friends who have been in the same situation, gotten pregnant, and the next thing they knew, the guy they KNEW would always be there for them, and who loved them so much, was gone. Off with another girl who didn't have a baby. Don't ruin these precious years of your life. Enjoy being young and free now, and then, when you're older and stable and more mature, then have your baby. Hope this helps.
