SECRET PREGNANCYI was 15 dating a 22 year old. hiding my relationship from my parents because i knew they wouldnt approve. i thought i was in love. we had sex without condoms because he thought he was infirtile. well he was wrong. i didnt get my period so i got 2 tests from the store and went to my friends house. sure enough they were positive. i was in so much shock and so scared. i called the father (Pat) and he asked if i was sure it was his and then told me i should get an abortion because of our age difference. i considered it because i was scared to tell my mom. my dad passed away 2 months before so i was sure she wouldnt be able to handle me being pregnant. well i didnt have an abortion and stopped talking to my daughters father. now my story gets a little crazy lol. so i never told anyone i was pregnant except my friend and my babys dad. everyone eventually had suspicions but i denied it. i was in denial. i thought i would tell my mom when she asked. but she never did. i was so scared and i wore baggy clothes all the time. i went camping with my friends and my water broke i called my mom and told her i felt sick at 12:30 am she eventually got me at 3:00am and her bf was in the car so i didnt want to tell her. so we got to the hospital at 5:00 am and i told her. she was so shocked and got really pale. i thought she was going to pass out. i had an ultrasound then they checked me because i was in so much pain and i was 10 cm. i couldnt get an epidural. i gave birth to my daughter at 6:27 am. we told my family and friends and they came to visit and were so happy. i named her alyssa and she is 10 months old now. her father is currently in jail and i wrote him a letter and told him. he is so happy and wants to be there for us. my life is great and im glad i didnt get an abortion. sarah for love anythingwell my life haven't been going so good my father had left my mother and me and my brothers alone, and my sister was kind been a bad influence on me we went out with guys and drank and smoke you know she love to have sex with lots of guys i didn't want to be like her but i fell in love with this guy that was older than me. WE had sex in my room and i asked if he had finished on me and he said no don't worry you'll be fine don't worry fine i said. so then we had sex two weeks after than i felt wet and i told him if had finish on me he siad yes i am like what r u kidding and he said yes i am like i am to young for a baby i havent even finish school so i stoop talking to him for some reason and after a month i did a pregnancy test it came positive i will always say to myself i am going tell my boyfriend but it never happen time pass and pass and i never told my parents i wanted to die i couldn't sleep and the worst part is the my sister had also gotten pregnant and i gave my mom a heart attack it was bad so in january 2008 my family had started noticing physical changes so then they found out and i told about my boyfriend and then they want to put him in jail becausse he was older men and i went through the pregnancy had the baby and baby boy a beautiful he name is johan and now he is a year old and i have to on going to finish high school and see him grow a dumb girl The Baby DaddyWhen i was 17 weeks pregnant with my first baby i was only 15 years old.The babys daddy was 16. He had told me many times through out my pregnancy that when the babys was born he was gunna take the baby from me because i didnt have a job. The baby will be born in 2 months & stilll im scared. Aly Knight its ok to abortI had an abortion when I was 15. I did not want a kid and I wnated to go to college. The guy was no longer in my life. It was the best decision I made. I cant imagine being 25 years old with a 10 year old kid struggling to make ends meet. So for all those girls out there who think abortion is bad, it might be bad for you but that doesnt mean you have the right to tell other people waht to do. I am very happy with my life and I have no regrets.Ashleigh Sunshine on herMy name is Medha. I got pregnant at 15, my freshmen year. I wasn't the brightest star in the night, though I wasn't an idiot. I was out one night with my boyfriend Joey and the rest of my friends and their boyfriends had tagged along for a movie and popcorn at my house. It was going to be a scary movie, Nightmare on Elm Street. I got freaked out in the middle of the movie and ran to my room. All my friends stared laughing and then kept watching to movie with their popcorn and snuggling with their boyfriends. Joey ran upstairs to my room andsaid everything was going to be alright. I smiled, and said we could go downstairs again. Until he gave me that sexy bit on his lip look, and then I knew what he wanted. We began to make-out, door closed upstairs in my double bed. The blinds were always closed, and Joey began to lift off my tank top. I smiled, and knew he didn't want to make out. He wanted to have sex. I did all the details of sex and then by 12:00 when my friends began to watch the 2nd movie of Nightmare on Elm Street movie, Joey and I were done (We started at 10:00) and we got dressed. My friend, Ellie, gave me the smile look. She was looking at me, and talked to me in the kitchen, door shut."What were you guys doing up there for 2 hours? You missed one movie!" She said. I kind of smiled. Ellie wasn't a virgin. She wasn't a whore, her boyfriend was her first about 6 months ago. "Joey and I...had sex!" I said like it was a huge deal, and it was. Ellie smiled. "Welcome to the club. Heh." She said. Then got serious. "Did you and Joey use...a condum or birth control?" She asked. I rolled my eyes. "Of course we did. Can we bet back to the movie?" I asked. Even though...I didn't know if we did. The next 2 weeks were horrible. Puking, missing school...it all happened. Ellie asked more questions. She really wanted to know if we did use a condum or birth control. But I finally admitted: I didn't know. It he really DID. I didn't know anything but that he is like my lover now! She told me to buy a pregnancy test. I was worried...for the whole school day! But finally, I went to the store. She went with me, and told me it'd be okay. Suddenly, a weird feeling came upon me. I saw the answer: + was the answer. holy my bunnies! I was pregnant! I was afraid. What would Joey say? But it didn't matter, we were lovers, right? I told him and Ellie after the result. I called Joey and told him the truth, and he freaked. I could hear him pacing on the other line. He was freaked out. He told me he'd be there, but not full time. He was going to school even if I was pregnant. He wasn't going to be the one who looks after the baby all the time. I told him that he wasn't, that my parents would or I would skip some days to get a starting time for the baby. I told my mom 3 weeks after the suprise. She told me she would be there, and I told her I really would be happy if she was the one who looked after the baby while I was at school. Dad didn't like me for about 6 weeks, until he saw my bump. He became happier, and more excited. Though, he never like the thought of Joey being the father. Joey didn't like me being a mother. After 8 months of throwing up, going to the doctor, and having that cold gel stuff on your belly. My baby came 2 weeks early, on May 17th. I was so happy to see her face. Joey wasn't there, even though Ellie was there and called him to come see the baby and help name it. Ellie (bestest friend), Amanda (my best friend), Deark (Ellie's boyfriend) and Jamie (another best friend) were there. They were so happy for me. Ellie and Amanda and Jamie helped name it. We all named her Sunshine. I was blessed to see her. Shes a health baby whos currently about 7 pounds sleeping. I love her. Thank you for reading. And a pregnancy is good, no matter how old!
