hello

i am 21 years old and i have a baby boy named Donny, he was born on may 12 2008, im a single mother barely getting by, i cant work cuz i cant find a sitter and im not in school,i make money by babysitting other kids, and in return i ask for diapers or formula, his father and i are not together and we never were, a few months back his father broke up with the mother of his children and we hooked up, we saw each other for a couple months and back in november i found out i was pregnant, i did not tell him right away, in january i finally told him and to my surprise he didnt deny the baby, that month he moved away for school, he'll be back in aug he is back with his gf, when my son was born i called him and told him bout the news, he was happy and couldnt wait to see him in person, so i look forward to that day, when he gets to finally meet his boy, i made a lot of mistakes but donny was a life saver, he taught me to make the right choices, i plan to return to school in the fall

Unexpected Pregnancy

I'm not truly single. I have been with my boyfriend for a little over two years now. We started dating when we were both 15 and sophmores in high school. Only a little over 3 months ago we found out that I was pregnant.

By this time, my boyfriend had moved in with me and things were going very good. After I took FOUR pregnancy tests (because we were both in such disbelief) we scheduled an appointment with my family doctor. On the way there, we talked about the different "options" we had...basically keep or don't keep. Being so young, it was scary to think that all of our plans could be ruined by this.

After my doctor confirmed our fears, somthing changed. When we got outside to the car, me and my partner no longer had any thoughts in our mind about getting rid of the baby.

We just had our first ultrasound last week and found out our baby weighs a little over 4 ounces. Seeing it was a miracle...at every check up we get to hear it's hearbeat and each time we get overjoyed.

In a couple months, I will be heading to a university to get my masters in secondary education. I'm happy to say things are going great and I have plenty of support from my family and the man I love!

To everyone in a similar situation (teen pregnancy), know there is hope and plenty of support out there for you (whether or whether not it comes from family). Stay strong and follow your heart!

Stand Strong

After reading a few stories i would like to share mine with you.

Im 21 and im 7 1/2 months pregnant with my little boy. I have just go out of a 4 year relationship which was a very voilent relationship.

I first got together with my then boyfriend when i was nearly 18 and he was 18 at the time and for the first year everything was great and he treated me like a princess. Until i fell pregnant at 18, he was over the moon, but he had no job no-where to live.
As soon as i told my mum she wanted me to get rid of it, as she hated my boyfriend because he was in and out of prison all the time and was also selling drugs. I was young at the time and i did what my mum told me too, and when i went to tell my boyfriend what i was going to do (hoping he would try and change my mind and say he would support me) he turned up drunk and when i went to walk off he pinned me up against a wall and threathened me. I walked away, had an abortion.

After a month i started speaking to him again and we got back together after he promised not to do it again, things changed very quickly and the abuse got worse and worse from pushing me around, and even raping me. I went to the police when he raped me but i dropped the case because he had threathened me saying if he went down, we would never be save as his famil would come and get us and all his friends.He had complete control over me, he wouldnt let me go and see my friends and tried to turn me against my family.
I never left him because everytime i said i was leaving he would threaten to kill my family and turn up at my house and smash my car up and my mum and brothers cars.

In 3 years i got pregnant another 3 times one of which i had an abortion as i couldnt see myself bringing a baby up with a partner like him, and i also had two miscarriages.

I am now pregnant again and have finally found the strength to leave him, i went to the police about a month ago as we were in my car and he tried to crash the car and kill us, he was arrested and was not allowed in the county where i live but he jumped bail and in now back and i keep getting threats and my car has yet again been smashed in. but i am staying strong for my baby.

I just want everyone to know that no matter how tough it can be you will get through it, i still have a long way to go but i know it will turn out alright and i cant wait to meet my little boy and when he is born he will have nothing to do with his father.

Good luck eeryone.
