Teen mom- not single

My story happened when I met kevin a boy Fromm school. We started going out after we met at a party. Every day after school I go to his house and weusedto have proteced sex but after three months we decided not to I never thought I would get pregnant. After three goes I never missed my period but on our fourth go I did. I knew kevin wanted to be a dad. I took a pregnancy test and stared at the pink plus sign in excitment and scaredness . After about a week I started vomiting and my mum saw. I hAd to tell her but it was hard. She told my dad they were both mad but began to bevsupportive. At school the next day during recess I told kevin and his green eyes looked at ybbelly he touched it and held me in his arms. He told his parents a week later and they were excited straight away. Kevin went to all of my appointments. After 5 months I noticed I had a bump and everyone and school just glared at me and called me slut and whore. Kevin told me to take no notice of them it was then I realised I loved him so much and I knew he would love our baby girl as well. One night I stayed with kevin as my knew I was to drop any minute and wanted me to be with him i stared having bad pains n my waters broke his mum contaced my mum to say the baby was on the way. Two hours later our besutiful baby girl ollisia had arived wieghing 6pounds 2 ounces. My baby girl is now two weeks old born January 2009. All u teen moms hang in there and don't regret it . Love

Lost but Hopeful

Hello my name is Larissa
One month before my 16th birthday i found out i was pregnant
This was very exciting because i was trying to get pregnant with my boyfriend at the time
Now i just shake my head really i don't know what i was thinking
I feel like i just needed someone to take care of and to make my life better
I am currently 16-years-old and 10weeks and 5days pregnant
I have been kicked out of the house and currently looking for a place to stay
i have been looking into a place called Bethesda Centre in support with the Salvation Army
Its a home for pregnant and partening teens
It provides support, schooling, everything i could ask for
i really hope i will be able to go there if not i want to find an apartment ang go to school aswell as a job, which really seems overwhelming
My ex boyfriend and the father of my child is very mean and selfish about this pregnacy
First of all he doesn't want me to have this baby and has been trying to get me jumped and make me lose the baby
Though i told him i was keeping the baby he said he HAS to be in the babys life or he will take me to court for it
He has threatened me before and did aswell today
I am fed up so i will be calling the cops on him when my parents get back
How can anyone say to someone having a baby that they want to kill you but keep the baby or just trying to kick you in the stomach to kill the baby it is very wrong
I have balled my eyes out so many times for the safety of me and my unborn child
I know that im am going to be stong and will do my best to make it though this rough time
I can't wait to find out the sex of my baby and finally when it comes sometime in late October 2009
I would just to say thank you for everyone who has written on this site without all of your stories and support i would have gotten an abortion i was just 5 days away when i broke out and told everyone that i didn't want to get an abortion so THANK YOU everyone <3
And also anyone who reads these stories and is unsure about what they want to do please remember that anyone can get though this if you try it doesn't matter the age im having this baby at 16 but look at how many people are pregnant and already have kids younger that what i am
Please think long and hard
it is tough but trust me you can and will get though it

lots of love
Larissa

Well, I just want to tell my story of how I got pregnant and how I live my life today. When I was 13 years old I meat this guy. He was much older than me, and at first I didn't like him, but as time passed by I kind of "fell in love" with him. He was about 27 and I was 13. I know what you're thinking - what the heck is a thirteen-year-old girl doing with a 27-year-old guy? I was probably desperate to runaway from my problems at home, and I didn't know I was getting into a deeper problem. My family was O.K. with the relationship, and we were about to get married (with the consent of my mother of course) when I had a problem with my new step-dad. I couldn't stand him. My boyfriend proposed to run away. We were still going to get married, or at least that's what he said. So one day, I ran away with him. We had the apartment and all the basic necessities. After like two months I became pregnant, at the age of thirteen years old. I wasn't even finished 7th grade! I decided to have my baby. (Don't ask me why. I don't know.) He ended up cheating on me. I spent six and a half years with this person until I finally decided to end my relationship. I went to school pregnant. All the looks I got, all the comments I received, really affected my life. But I finished junior high and I was on my way to high school. While my friends were thinking on going out to the movies, I had to think about making dinner and changing diapers. It was hard, but I did it. I didn't give up. I had to wake up at six a.m. to change the baby, dress up, and go to school. I had to be at the bus stop by seven to be in school at 8:15 a.m. (They had childcare in the school, but only if you maintained a good academic grade.) I had to go through childcare, homework, uniforms, and all the rest of that stuff. I was a full-time student and worked part-time, and still had to come home and take care of my son. I graduated high school with the Class of 1998 with all my friends. I'm currently a college student in California, working toward my accounting degree, and I'm also working full time for a law firm. I just turned twenty and I have a five-year-old boy that waits for me to get home and give me a kiss, and say "I love you mommy." My message to all the teens out there is to never give up, you can make it. Hang on - life is hard, but in the END IT PAYS OFF!

pregnant at 16 .

hi my name is clara , i just turned 17 in jan. 18 , being 5 months pregnant .
well me & the babys father have now been together for 2 years as of feb. 18, we had been sexually aktive since aug. 07 (6 months into our relationship) but we have been knowing each other since i was 13 & he 15 , he's 19 now since dec.
ok well we had used protection the rest of the year after aug.2007, but starting mid jan.2008 we just started using no protection, no birth contol, nothing. the first couple of times i didnt get my period but then i did so i got irregular (since he was my first,my body was changing) periods, i always took pregnancy test they all came out negative so we kept going, until like 7 months later around sept.2008 i didnt get my period that month, i took 3 home pregnancy tests ,they all came out positive i didnt belive it much so i went on sept.28 into a clinic and it was given positive, my closest girlfrend went in with me that day. i cried because i didnt know what to think. mostly because i didnt know what i was going to tell my mom, she always told me "clara, please use protection and take care of yourself if not abstain" i didnt listen to her. so the same day my friend called her bf and took me to tell my bf in person i couldnt wait til he got out of work, i went to his job and i told him. he didnt believe me at first even though i had shown him the 3 home pregnancy tests the day before.so in the end before i left he believed me because i was crying and he knows i wouldnt cry just to cry and i wasnt good at faking things like that. so we needed to tell my mom because his family knew, they were happy but dissapointed. so the next day at night oct.1 we decided to tell my mom, we told her and she was crying and VERY dissapointed and sent me to live with him because he needed to take care of his responsibilities.at first me & my mom didnt get along, now we love being around each other.im still going to school,home school. my pregnancy has been great EXCEPT my hormornes kill me with badd emotions, i cry alot. my bf hes doing alrigght hes not used to pleasing someone and i understand. now i cant wait for the babyshower this month . 1 month for my boy to be born.
P.S.
girls please use protection,my babys is not a mistake, hes a lesson. but listen to your mother, she knows best.
