my insipration

I was only 16 when i got pregnant. I was scared and the father of my child was no help at all. The hardest part was telling my divorced parents, but being hospitalized for a week for not taking care of myself was the only way they found out. I am now a senior about to graduate and my daughter is 17 months. no one knows how hard it is to be in school, work, go to intern and still be a mom. I dont have much help but i manage to do it on my own with the help of my family, mother in law, and sister in law i know my daughter will never miss anything. dont think you cant do it because look at me... im working my butt off and im 28 in my class rank.. amazing? i think so.. not a lot of people are in my situation and can get grades like i can, but thanks to my daughter i push myself harder than ever.

I found out I was prenat at 15

When I first found out I was pregant yeah I was shocked and I was sure I was happy to have a baby and I was yeah I'm going to have another one in life anyway. Ever since I was a little girl I wanted and planed on having a baby when I grew older because I knew I was bringing something beautiful into this world. When it got time to tell my mum I was like Ahhhhhhhhhh ok I need to tell her before the bump come so I sat her and I stared to cry and I said " Mum don't be sad when I say this becaue you had to say it to your mim and I know it may of been hard for and its going to be hard for me" then she stared to cry and then she said " oh hunny tell me your not.... pregnant" O nodded and said nothing,. When it got time to telling my firends at school it was so hard, I told Molly, Lucy, Karishia, Nia and My boyfriend the one who got me pregnant and he was so shocked and mad that baled out on me so I had no one to turn to exept my mum and my friends. When my tummy got a bump my friends were supportive and ok I know most friends bale on you when the bump starts to kick in but I'm happy and lucky that i have such great and supportive friends if your friends are baling on you when the bump starts to kick in just say" hey look one day your going to be pregnant and I'm going to be there to support you so hey be there to support me now". Yeah people make fun of you but they di=ont know what a beautiful thing your bringing into this world.

My Girl

I was 16 when I found out I was pregnant. It was the biggest shock of my life because I was with my friend in the school bathroom when I found out. I hooked up with my boyfriend, and he said he had one but really he didn't, which he was probably guessing I should've had birth control. I told him, and he broke up with me, blaming me for it all. When I told my mom, she was mad at first, but then she realized my tough times, so she supported me. At my first ultrasound, we found out it was going to be a girl. My father isn't in the family picture anymore, so my mom & I were so excited to have another girl in the family. We bought a white crib and used the guest room next to my room and transformed it into a girls' room. My waterbroke at 3:00am on a Saturday in December. We rushed to the emergency room, and at 12:00pm on Saturday, my baby girl was born. We named her Veronica, after my grandmother who died of cancer (on my mom's side). We nicknamed her Ronnie and Ron, and now she is four years old and I am twenty. I married a man named Brian last year, and we are doing wonderful (Brian fell in love with me when 17 and he knew I was a baby-mama) I know a lot of teenagers regret having babies so young, but I don't. It was the best thing that happened to me. If it wasn't for Ronnie, I'd be with that loser who never treated me right.

Be Careful What You Wish For

I lost my virginity to my boyfriend of five months in January 09. We were each other's firsts and clearly still in that new love phase. As we became closer and closer with each other, the more adventurous we would get. After about two months of being sexually active we started to have unprotected sex, not even considering the risks of pregnancy. In April I began having these terrible mood swings and was feeling completely sick. I asked my best friend (who was constantly having pregnancy scares) if she had a pregnancy test that I could have and happily she did. I stayed at her house that night and woke up early to take the test, only to find those evil little double lines staring back at me. I was so scared, but I woke my friend up and asked her if this test was accurate and she said yes. My boyfriend was out of state visiting his brother at the time. I took another test and it came out positive. I knew I was dead. I went home and told my mom and she told my dad... the whole deal. I came to terms with my pregnancy and finally adapted to it. My first sonogram told me that my baby had no heatbeat. I lost my baby at ten weeks on May 28th. It was the worst expirence I had ever been through. I wrote journal entires after journal entires saying I Want My Baby Back and I never thought that I was accidently making a wish. It's October now and I'm eight weeks pregnant and due May 28th (the one year anniversary of my first baby) and yesterday I went to the doctors and got a sonogram done. For the first time I heard my baby's heartbeat and I knew everything is going to be okay. I am so completely excited and ready for anything that is going to come my way.
