Decision

Me and my husband have been together for over a year. We've talked about children and we want it - me earlier, he - later, but still.
So this month I was having strange symptoms. Higher body temp, moody, cramps, bloated abdomen. He was sure I was pregnant. And lived with this thought and decided that it's not too early, actually - he was more glad than worried. Realized that he is ready and he's not so afraid. As for me, I hoped fr positive test result more than anything.
Well, after 3 days of missing, my period showed up... That was yesterday. I was devastated and cried a lot. Although I realize, that we weren't even trying and I can get pregnant next month if I want to, but still, it was really difficult to live with 'pregnancy' 3 weeks and then to say good bye to it...
I want a baby!
Next month - I'm definitely trying to conceive.
I wish you all luck, I'm reading your stories and my heart is with you..

early pregnancy

before i even missed my first period when i was pregnant with my son i began to feel really tired and was feeling waves of nausea. i also was getting light headed alot. when my period was late i knew i was pregnant because i was never late before. i must have taken at least 10 or more home pregnancy tests which all came back negative. i also had the worst cramps like my period was going to start at any moment. i couldnt take not knowing anymore so i went to the er and they took a blood test which confirmed my pregnancy. they said the cramping was do to my uterus stretching. for 2 more months home pregnacy tests still showed negative. my second child 3 years later the home pregnancy tests showed positive the day after i missed my period. so you never know. go with your gut feeling

Too Young for Mommy

Me and my boyfriend had been dating for 3 years. We told each other we loved each other pretty much every day, and at the time, we though that sex was just a way to show our love to each other. But we soon learned that it would be much more than that....
The time when I missed it, i was really nervous. I kept telling myself that it was just me and that I couldn't be...pregnant. The word kept running over and over in my mind as I bought the pregnancy test, as I took it, and especially as I saw the result. That moment, when the pink plus sign showed up, I knew automatically that my life was changed forever.
It was so hard to know that I was so young, and had a living being growing inside of me. A being that I was responsible for, a being that would call ME mommy!! It scared me knowing all of this. I didn't tell ANYONE about my bun in the oven for a while, until I couldn't keep it a secret anymore. People started noticing my body and my bigger boobs. I confessed to my boyfriend, my friends, and ultimately...my parents. My boyfriend was upset that I hadn't told him sooner, but told me that he would stick with me through all of this, my friends were panicking just at the though that I had sex. I had always been the good girl, the straight A student, the one who never did anything bad, but not anymore. And then there was my parents, who were not so thrilled that I was young and...pregnant. They were shocked and couldn't believe that they're little girl was having a baby. Eventually, they accepted the fact that they were soon-to-be grandparents and helped me through all of this. I believe that I was really lucky to have a boyfriend as great as mine. Most of you teenagers reading this are saying "Oh yeah! If my boyfriend got me pregnant he would be there for me." But that doesn't always happen. Most of those to-be fathers deny that they ever did the girl and just fade away to someone that your child doesn't even know, just has pictures of. Through my high school years, I was stared at as I walked down the halls, rumors went around non-stop and friends of mine drifted away, thinking of me as a bad influence. With the help of my boyfriend and my parents I was able to get through the roughest year of my life.
I am now 19 years old and have a 3 year old baby girl. I love her with all of my heart, but I think her life would be so much better if I was able to spend more time with her. Now, if my friends want to go out to see a new movie, I either have to think about making dinner for my baby, or finding a last minute babysitter. Me and my boyfriend are still together and he is definitely an active part in my baby's life. We intend to be married someday as soon as our lives are settled. We both want to finish up high school and get at least half way through college before finally settling down.
Teens, for those of you who are pregnant, tell your parents right away. It may not be the easiest thing to do, and trust me I know, but they love you and will be willing to help you in any way they can. And for those of you who aren't pregnant, be very thoughtful about what you want to do. If you and your partner are thinking about having sex, think about the consequences of what may end up happening. Some of you think you are fully ready to raise a baby, but you really aren't. There are so many things that you don't know about that you aren't ready for. Having children is wonderful! But have them when you're older, and your love is ready to have a baby with you. Have your life settled before you start a family. To you teens who are having sex, be sure that you're protected. Be careful and good luck!
