14 years old and pregnantWell. I'm 14 years old and pregnant. It wasn't supposed to be this way. My boyfriend loved me... Or so I thought. When I turned 14, my boyfriend and I had been together off and on for 2 years, and we had just gotten back together again 2 months earlier. Then he raped me. It was the most awful feeling ever, and I hate to recall it. I broke up with him the day after, and told my mom what had happened. She took me to the doctor, and a pregnancy test confirmed what we feared most. I had never believed in abortion, although that day I sat down and seriously considered it. Adoption wasn't an option though. If I was going to go through with the pregnancy, it was only fair to the baby that I went through with parenting too. My mom was thankfully very supportive in my desicion to keep the baby, I am now 8 months pregnant, due October 15th, and I even though I'm scared, I can't wait for Lilianna's arrival. Let's pray everything goes well! I hope I can provide for my baby girl... My mom is going to have to help me even more than she already has, and I feel very sorry I have burdened her this way. Financially I'm stable, bringing in a good income.. But will it be enough? Lilianna deserves the best, and I'll try my hardest to give it to her, despite the horrible circumstances in which she came to be in my belly. DREW 17 when i got pregnantI was just starting my senior year and i was 17. im now 21 and my little Riley Rae just turned 3, shes everything to me(: i finished high school with my big round belly i was due 2 weeks after i graduated! when i told Rileys daddy we had been together for 3 years at the time he was happy, he knew it would be hard but he told me no matter what we would get through it and he promised to take care of me and the baby. when i told my dad he didnt talk to me for a week when we did finally talk he told me i was stupid for believe my boyfriend, that he is only saying that he would leave sooner later but i didnt listen to him i just did the best i could to be a good mother to Riley. the day i turned 18 i moved out big and pregnant packing all my stuff i went to my boyfriends house with him and his parents. a month after Riley was born my boyfriend saved enough money to buy us a house. we are still living in this same house, i have one more semester in college and then i will be a teacher. my now husband has his own business with his dad. && Riley loves daycare! i know i didnt have it hard i had someone there with me threw out the whole thing to love and support me. every teenage girl thats pregnant and has no support from the babys father just do what you can to be a good mom to your child. most importantly finish school.K Unplanned PregancyHey my name is Danielle but everybody calls me Nee-Nee all my friends are pregant or either just had a baby and i use to always say that will never be me but guess wad?

My name is Leah Cash. I found out I was pregnant June 4th, 2009 (1 hour before my graduation ceremony). I told my boyfriend of 4 years about the news and he assured me we would be fine and we'd talk about it later. I told my mom a week later when she reminded my to send my information into the college I was planning on attending. She was upset at first, but it was because she knew it would be hard for me. She told my dad and they were very supportive of mine and Daniel's choice to keep our baby. Daniel's family was supportive also. I was one month pregnant when I found out and our son Jace was born on Feb. 7th. My boyfriend currently works full time at a plant and goes to school at night. I attend a nearby college during the day to get my degree in History, secondary education. There are a lot of sacrifices to be made in raising a child, but every single one is worth it. My boyfriend and I love Jace more than anything.Leah & Jace :) Leah Sadly SingleHello my name is Tierra i am 16 and i have a 3month old baby boy names Devin...When I first found out that i was pregnant i was super excited but worried about how I would explain it to my parents. It was 4 days before my boyfriend's birthday and i thought that telling him we were having a baby would make his birthday even better,Sadly when i told Kevin about our baby he got up from the dinner table and left me at the resturant all alone and i spent all of my last money on his birthday gift and dinner plus my cellphone battery was dying so i had noway home and the resturant was alllll the way across town and i who was 4 months pregnant at the time had to walk all the way home now i know what your thinking how was she 4 months pregnant and did not know well im not the averge girl i am plus size so when i was getting bigger from pregnacy i thought i was eating alot... But niw that my son has been born no one from Kevin's family nor Kevin has came to see my son or bought him anything...And since the day Kevin left me at the resturant on his birthday i havent talked to him i seen him at the mall about 3weks ago and he and his new girlfriend was going into a baby store. I went home and called my bestfriend and rumor has it SHE'S PREGNANT...BUT not by him by another guy she cheated on Kevin with. I dont know what i did wrong but as long as i have Devin in my life I'll be fine..--Tierra Tierra Page: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 59, 60, 61, 62, 63, 64, 65, 66, 67, 68, 69, 70, 71, 72, 73, 74, 75, 76, 77, 78, 79, 80, 81, 82, 83, 84, 85, 86, 87, 88, 89, 90, 91, 92, 93, 94, 95, 96, 97, 98, 99, 100, 101, 102, 103, 104, 105, 106, 107, 108, 109, 110, 111, 112, 113, 114, 115, 116 | ||||||||||||||||
