my pregnancy

HI everyone...

im 18 years old and im 6 months pregnant.

i found out i was pregnant when i was only 5 weeks i couldnt believe it.i was so excited and so was everyone else except my mother!
my fiance was over the moon! she didnt come around til i was about 3 months.

i didnt have much morning sickness at all..i would have been sick about 5 times so far! Lucky..

i found out at my 19weeks ultrasound that im having a little girl! me and my fiance have decided to call her SHYANNE MARIE!

i love watching my belly move when she kicks..its a really exciting experience. we just cant wait till shes born! i have 14 weeks 2 go..hopefully it goes quick!

ahh the glories of motherhood!

my name is jess and im currently 20 weeks pregnant. this is my first baby and im not with the father anymore, i do have a partner who is quite excited to help me raise the baby even though it isnt his. i dont know what id do without him! i find out the sex of my baby in 2 days which is daunting.. ive had pregnancy scares before an i didnt believe it when the doctors said i was... this story is about a morning i woke up 2 days ago...

i dont sleep much through the night due to the baby moving and me needing to use the bathroom!!! but i woke up at about 7am the other morning to find that i was drenched in som sort of sticky liquid... i thought there must have been a leak in our ceiling... low and behold i had strted to leak collostrum! so not only was i confused... i was dripping liquid out of my breasts! my partner got the raw end of the stick as well as he'd cuddled up to me at some time and gotten covered as well!

i feel the baby move every day now, not sure if i have felt it kick.. it is the most amazing feeling to feel your child grow and move inside of you. to know that i am growing a child makes me appreciate life so much more.. (and my mother for going through this with me!)

i couldnt be happier with becoming a mother. this baby has filled my heart with joy and so much love.

I Can't Believe It's Me

If someone would have told me freshman year that I would have a child before I graduate I would have laughed. I never imagined this could happen to me. I met the love of my life on september 6th 2006, on september 5th of 2007 I was staring in disbelief at two pink lines. I was in shock, I never thought this would happen to me. I guess love just made me careless. I hear alot of statistics that people think will apply to me but I don't believe them.

I know me and my boyfriend will be together forever and i know i'll be a great mom. I know I'll graduate highschool, nobody can tell me otherwise. I know my senior years going to be difficult but I can do it. My son will be making his appearance this May and I can't wait to hold him in my arms.

Being pregnant in highschool is tough as I'm sure it is any other time. I get home from school at 2:30 and go to work at 4:00 and by time Get to sleep it's close to eleven. On the weekends I get up at 5:30 and work untill two. I'm 26 weeks and the aches are setting in. My feet began swelling and my body hurts. I would love to take a long hot bath but the doctor has ruled them out. At least I have my babys father to massage me and rub my feet.

I can't wait to see him. We are both equally excited about our sons upcming arrival but I think I am more scared than he is. He will be graduating this year and i will next year. He works and so do I. I know he is going tho be a great dad. I can telll by the way he plays with our son before he's even here. He likes to rub my belly and kiss it. Our son loves his dads voice and his touch. He never kicks if someone puts their hand on my belly unless it's mine or daddys.

We know we have a tough road ahead of us but we also know we can do it. Sure this has happened years before we had planned to start a family, and niether of us know what it's really going to like but we refuse to let the unknown bring us down. Honestly he's a lot better than I am at that because I am terrified but I know I can do this.

Wish us luck because were going to need it!!! Can't wait to meet our baby boy for the first time!!!

So excited

I am nearly 18 weeks now and have had a really good pregnancy experience so far. Except for 3 weeks of morning sickness I have felt really healthy and well. I started feeling the baby move at 15 weeks but wasn't sure if it was something else, but I am feeling it far more strongly now.

It is such a lovely time and my husband and I are so looking forward to meeting our little baby. We have decided to find out if they are a boy or girl at the 20 week scan.

Only 2 weeks to go!

Excited

This is my second pregnancy, and I am now 19 weeks. Tom and I find out tomorrow what we're having. He was the first to know I was pregnant, and he said it was a girl from day 1...LOL...I hope so.

We got pregnant thru first time in May and found out on my birthday. We were so scared, and excited too. That was short lived when I spotted a week later...spent 7 hours in the hospital to find out I had a miscarriage. They didn't do an ultrasound just an exam and my uterus was clear.

Ten days later I had horrible pains in my lower abdomen and dealt with them for 2 days until I couldn't walk, and was throwing up constantly. Tom rushed me to the e.r. And they told me I didn't have a miscarriage and that the baby was now 8 weeks and had ruptured my tube and I was internally bleeding. They rushed me into surgery and took my left tube. They told me that they other tube looked perfect but that I would only be fertile for 6 months out of the year. That was on June 18th...By August 9th we were pregnant again...This time everything was great, and we have a so far healthy baby. We are so excited, and we have picked the names Charlotte "Charlie" Lynn, and Jackson Thomas.

I would just like to say, when they tell you your horrible sickness will go away in the 2nd trimester they lied. I am still sick, and so far I've only gained 1/2 a lb. I also had horrible constipation around the 2nd month, had to visit the E.R. to fix the problem. But she'll be worth it :)
