My Teenage Pregnancy

I had been going out for Dan for about two years already and when we decided to have sex it happened. We used condoms of course but when we finished the condom had already broken. I told him there was a one in a million chance that I'd get pregnant but it happened.

When I got to school about 3 months later I started feeling lower cramps and I had missed my period. I HAD to get a pregnancy test and I knew it. It came back positive. I couldn't tell my parents about it so I told the two people I could trust, my boy friend and his mom.

I showed them the test and I decided to take another test. Just like the first time it came back positive. Dan's mom took me to the doctor and I was PREGNANT. I had to wait to tell my parents but Dan told them instead.

They are supporting me and I am due on Febuary 22, 2008! I can't wait!

My Little Angel

I was almost 18 and was dating a great guy. He was a bit older than me but was so sweet. It wasn't expected, but one day I started getting sick. thinking nothing of it. I continued on as expected. Then soreness of the breasts came and food cravings. Something was wrong.

So I decided to take a test just in case. First test! Positive. That couldn't be right. So I took another. Positive as well. I was pregnant. I was scared, but I knew it wasn't a mistake. I was happy. And when I told her father he agreed.

We moved in together, and even though I had a hard pregnancy, in the end everything turned out good. We just bought a new house. And painted her room. We decided on the name Cassity Lyn.

Having her was the greatest thing I ever did. I was young but mature enough to handle. I love my daughter and there could be no greater love in my life.

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.
