October Night

It was my first time and I was scared out of my mind. "I don't even know this guy!" I told myself, but still, I carried through with it. I didn't think much of it at the time, didn't really think that I was one to get pregnant my first time, but I was proven to be wrong shortly after. I just met this guy 3 days prior, got his number while meeting him in the school library. Texting him and making all these plans to have sex. Like where we'll have it, when, if he should or shouldn't wear a condom.

Then the moment came, October 6th 12:00 p.m. on the dot and he's driving up. I get in his car and we start to head to the park, but decide it's too risky so we head back to my "best friends" house and go to the back yard. That's where it all happened, my virginity lost and a new baby that I didn't know of. So after that months passed and we didn't talk until I had to tell him that I was pregnant with his baby. He didn't believe me until I pulled my shirt up to show him the little bump. I'm happy with my little girl, Luna, and well he has to accept her because she'll be in his life till she's 18! He's my mistake, but Luna makes up for it and I love her with all my heart!!

My Lucky Star

I found out I was pregnant about a week ago, immediately I told my mother; I had expectations for the test to come back positive. My ex boyfriend who is a marine broke up with me about a week and a half ago, after I found out I was pregnant he told me I should have it although we are not together.

One day I needed some help and he text me saying not to ever call or text him again. And my heart was shattered I was so surprised confused and overwhelmed. As I talked to my mother and sister about my situation they encourage me to be a strong woman. My mother says it’s my decision to have my baby and each day I am falling in love with what’s inside me. I think of it as my baby I created it by myself it might be childish in a way but HEY IT IS MINE!!

I have set up appointments for an abortion and I just don’t know what I want to do I would never want to kill my baby...and my heart wrenches inside, and I think about my future with and without a baby. I am a student and have part time job and I believe I can make it going in this direction. I just don’t want to make the wrong decision I am almost 21 yrs old and partying can always wait plus i’ve had my fair share. Anyways I will make a final decision one of these days wish me luck &hearts.

28 weeks

I am 16 years old and I'm 28 weeks pregnant. When I found out I was pregnant I was about 16 weeks. I was scared because my mom had just left me to live with my sister. Today was the first time I heard my baby’s heart beat. It was so cool and on Friday I'm having the ultrasound done. I hope my baby is a boy but if not that’s ok because we have a lot of girls in our family.

18 and Scared, But in Love

I’m 18 and 3mos pregnant...the only reason why I’m scared is the thought that I have to tell my mom, my friends, and my coworkers. Anyone who knows me would never think that it would be me.

I’m smart, and was headed to college. A man 23 years older than me seduced me. I should’ve known better. He wanted me to get an abortion and acted like I committed a travesty when I decided to keep it...I’m scared...but I love what’s growing inside my belly.

To all the young mothers out their with ignorant exes...keep your head up.

I'm Keeping My Baby

My boyfriend is also my best friend. When I told him I was pregnant I was really worried about how he would take it. I didn’t want to loose him. At first he was shocked and didn’t talk to me for 2 days. It hurt me a lot. But when he had time to cool down, he came to me and told me that he wanted me to keep the baby but would support me with whatever option I wanted. I also wanted to keep the baby, so we decided we would.

Chris* was amazing through the whole of my pregnancy. Being so young we got a lot of judgment but either of us cared because it was what we had wanted. Today we have a beautiful two-month-old son named Bailey. He’s so perfect and I wouldn’t change him for the world. Both our parents have been very supportive.

Teen mums: do what’s right for you, not what everyone else wants you to do.
