15 with 3 children..one unborn.

Well it all started when I was 12. I was in my first real relationship. I had relations before then, but never a real relationship. I was turning 13 in a couple days. My boyfriends mom invited me over to their house two days before my birthday for dinner and a movie. I happily agreed to go. We ate dinner and watched a movie and time flew by. After the movie I called my mom and told her I was going to stay in the guest bedroom at their house and that i'd be back the next morning. Well lets just say I lost my virginity that night at 12 years old.

Like everyone that loses their virginity I said "oh I'll be ok, no worrys," boy was I wrong. I skipped my period the following month, then 3 more weeks past and still no period. So I went to the only person I could trust at the time, my boyfriend. We told his mom, and she called mine. 2 hours later we were all in CVS buying a pregnancy test. It came back positive. Next day I was in a doctors office with my boyfriend, my mom, and my boyfriends mom. We were all anxious to hear the results. 10min. later it was confirmed. I was 6 weeks pregnant and 13. I lost a lot of trust that week. My parents were disappointed and my so called friends started calling me names I'd never hear before. My boyfriend was the only one who seemed to care. He told me he would never leave me, and he never did.

I went to regular doctors appointments and had the support of my boyfriend the whole time. Four months (16 weeks) into the pregnancy, I found out "we" were having a boy! I was having few complications, nothing major. We were all getting excited. I had a baby shower when I was 26 weeks, and got tons of stuff. Who could have guessed that babys would be so much fun to shop for. Well I went into my 3rd Trimester a week after my baby shower, thats when the pregnancy started getting tough! So much pain. I was growing out of all my clothes quicker than ever. My little baby was getting big. I graduated 9th grade with a's and b's.

I went into labor on June 12 at about 4:30pm. I was in labor for 10.5 hours. Labor is the hardest thing I have ever had to go through. June 13, 2004 at 2:47am I delivered my first baby Justin Lee. Justin was 17in. long and 5pd. 4oz. I had the loving support of My mom, my dad, my "mother-in-law" and my WONDERFUL boyfriend. Justin was healthy and mommy was allowed to take him home 4 days later. Thats when things started getting hard.





Time flew by. I know what my parents mean when they say I grow up to fast. Before I knew what was happening I was planning my baby boys first birthday party! All of my little cousins came and enjoyed the cake and ice cream. After my boyfriend and I cleaned up we tucked Justin into bed. Later on that night My boyfriend and I "went to bed" If you know what I mean.

It all happened again. I skipped my period the following month and I knew somthing was up. I once again went to the only person I could trust, My boyfriend. This time we decided to tell all of our parents at once. Three days after I told them I was back in the doctors office. Everyone was once again anxious to hear the news. 1.5 hours after we got there it was confirmed that I was yet again pregnant. I didn't tell anyone besides my family members, I had went through enough the year before at school. I couldn't bear to do it again. I waited and waited with everyone wondering. I wore big sweatshirts and never told anyone why I left early once a week. Well when I got into my 2nd trimester I knew I had to tell someone. I was four months pregnant with a baby girl. First thing I did was have a meeting witch consisted of Me, my boyfriend, all my teachers, the guidence consoler, and my principal. Everyone was yet again shocked, esspecially since I was doing so good in school. We told everyone the news and the principal asked my boyfriend and I to go from school to school to talk about teenage pregnancy. My mom brought Justin to each highshool we went to. Everyone was so surprized that a 14 year old girl could handle a relationship, a 1 year old, a family, and being pregnant and still maintain a's and b's in all of her highschool classes.

My pregnancy with my little girl was a bit more complicated. Being so young and having a seconed child. Well 32 weeks into my pregnancy, only 8months. I went into labor at school. It was about 12:30pm. Everyone freaked out. Someone got my boyfriend, someone else called my mom, and someone else called 911. I was in pain, and I was worried sick. My boyfriend and 2 other guys got me out to the front of the school where the EMS were waiting. They suddenly got a call and apparently something is more important than a 14 year old girl in labor at school. I was really starting to get ill at that point. The prinicipal drove my boyfriend and I to the hospital where my mom was waiting. My mom and the doctor were sitting there listening to the story about what happened while I was having major pains. I ended up slapping the nurse because she stopped to talk to someone else. I was finally settled into a bed.

Everyone was on edge. I was a month early. "The baby can't come yet. Its too early." You could tell something was wrong because noone would tell me anything. They finally told me that my baby was ready to come out, and there was a slight possibility that she wouldn't survive. Well she sure showed them. ha. On March 4, 2006 at 8:14pm with my mom, my dad, my boyfriend, and his mom with me I had my seconed baby Alannah Marie who was healthy and strong. Weighing 4pd. 7oz. and being 15.5 in. long, I held my baby girl in my arms. I went home 6 days later. I was homeschooled for the next 8 weeks. Then I returned to school in May. Everyone was anxious to hear the story or how Alannah Marie came into the world.

I graduated 10th grade with a's and b's. I celebrated my baby boys 2nd birthday shortly after school got out. I had my hands full then. I had a 2 year old, and an 3 1/2 month old in my house. It's November now, and I'm pregnant with my 3rd baby. 16 weeks pregnant with my 2nd baby boy. Everyone knows I can do it. No one has any doubts. Just remeber that whatever God hands you in life, you have to take it and go with it. I'm not saying you should try and get pregnant but just remeber..Its not that fun.

to C-section or not to C-section?

i was 22 yrs. old when my son was born in 2002. i am now pregnant with my second and have to make a decision whether to have a repeat c-section or attempt VBAC. I must admitt, i am terrified to have another c-section. the procedure was basically uneventful, except that i had tension and pains in my heart, which eventually subsided, but were very scary at the time. after a successful operation, i was put in the recovery room. my doc had been called to an emergency c-section somewhere else. which left me, in recovery, with noone to authorize a pain reliever. as minutes went by, i started being able to feel more of my chest, then my upper abdomin, and yes, eventually i could feel the actual incision of where my son had been taken out of my body only 1/2 an hour before. i was screaming, crying. no pain i have ever felt in my life with ever be that intense. my mother in law found me alone in the room crying, and thought the baby had been lost. i explained what was going on in short pauses, and could only describe the pain at the time as, "the corner of a piano resting on my abdomin". now i find myself having to make a decision whether to try a VBAC? i am truly scared and don't know what to do. i am due july 8, 2007. help!!!

my miracle baby

well first of all i was 17 when i concieved and at 20 weeks they thought they would have to take the baby cause i had pre-clampsia and they thought it was worse then it really was. so luckily they didn't have to but at 36 weeks my baby was not moving for hours at a time and they had to watch the baby on a ultrasound for about a hour and seen no fetal movement so they prepped me for delivery and i was induced and had my baby at 7:53 p.m on september 5, 2006 i was in labor for 8 hour's it was a decent labor and with all the problems i had when i was pregnet i thought it was al over but it was only the begging my daughter was born with group b strep virus in her blood and double namonnoha and pulmenary hypertention and respitory distress syndrome.and they found her in the nursery with only 10% oxygen and they placed her in the neonatal intensive care unit were she struggled for her life for the next 4 week's she was placed on life support and was icolated from all the other babys she was on a vent wich was breathing 100% for her she was on four blood pressure medicines pain medicine and sadation medicine. and nitric oxide but she is now healthier and happier then ever she pulled threw it and came home on septemeber 25, 2006 she has had a few hospital stays sence then for some minor things. i look at her and i can't believe that the doctors told me that they didn't think she would make it through the night but she beat the odds 100%.

i was scared to death.....

i was only 18 and in labor, i was scared and in a lot of pain.i was given staydol and it did nothing but make me tired. they wanted to give me an epidoral, and they told me that i would run the risk of being paralyzed, then i was too scared to have it, so i just delt with the pain and after a total of 8 hours the baby was out and the pain was completly gone, now i am 25 and on my 3 child, and i am going to go through labor completly natural, with no pain meds, just practice on breathing and focus on something other then the pain and youll be fine.. good luck to all the moms to be......and most importantly remember the pain stops after the baby's out.

difficult c-section

april 1st last yr i had an emergency c-section, which was not my choice. my baby heart rate went up so they took him 6 wks early. the c-section @ that time i thought wan't so bad, about a wk after the surgery i got really sick, i had lost 45 lbs within 2wks. i went to the dr and was told tht was nothing wrng. after that another wk went by and i lost 20 more lbs, went back 2 the dr an they did tests and found tht i had an infection in my stomach from the c-section. the dr gave me several meds, and none of them treated the infection. the dr said tht they dn't know what kind of infection it is but it is from the c-section. the infection caused me 2 have b.m ever 10-15 mins, an a complete lost of desire 2 eat, drink, and spend time with my other kids because i was so sick. now tht is is a yr later i still have the infection an the dr still dosen't know how 2 treat it, i may need 2 take meds 4 the rest of my life, which i have a reflex 2 pills and it kills me 2 take them everyday. now i am on a new med while the dr try 2 find out how 2 treat this infection. what should i do? i,m thinking about getting a lawyer 2 take further action. i was told tht a c-section only takes about 30 mins, mines took about 45- 1hr and i had no complication during the surgery.
