Pregnant

I was 19 when i met Matt. I had recently broke up with my previous long term partner and was still healing. Although i was living with my three best friends at the time and enjoying life, clubbing and socializing when i could. I felt like i was loving life and enjoying every minute but then i got sweeped off my feet by this amazing guy who i fell in love with.

Matt was so romantic. He would hold my bad for me if i needed, get me a drink without asking, opening car doors for me and most of all he did love me more than anything. One night he picked me up from work as he usually did and broke the news to me that his ex was pregnant. I was devastated, so was he. But i told him we would work through it, because i loved him through anything. Time went by and i moved into his parents to save money, but later on found i wanted my own freedom. That was when Matt and i moved into our gorgeous new home.

It was Matts 22nd birthday in Janurary 08 when we found out i was pregnant. From then on he was so cold towards me. He suddenly didnt love me the way he use to. He would constantly put me down, and suddenly i didnt matter anymore. But having a child to the guy i loved was a dream come true. We continued to stay together, but for the fact he was and still is my world.

April 11th came around shortly, when his ex gave birth to a baby girl. That week was really hard for me because the guy i truly loved was sharing his first experience with his ex. The day of the birth we broke up and he moved back to his parents. I was so upset.

I never wanted to become a single mum, but now im 20 yrs old and 5months pregnant awaiting the arrival of a baby boy named Tyler. Matt says he will be there for his son and help us out, but so far he's at the pub with his mates while im struggling to pay the rent and bills he left me with to keep a roof over my head, while he's out living at his parents for free, clubbing every weekend, driving a luxury car while im catching the train to work everyday to just make enough to survive.

At the moment i feel like why should he be apart of Tyler's life when he has not brought or thought of anything for when he arrives in this world. He's not there at the moment feeling our son kick or watching him on an u/sound or helping me decorate Tyler's room, instead he's out drinking and everything else i don't want to think of. Im so angry at him for leaving us in this situation, i cant afford the rent once bubs born, and i cant go anywhere else. After being through so much happiness with him, making me feel like a princess but yet so much heartache i still love him from the moment i met him.

I cant wait for Tyler, who is due on the 7th Sept 08 and i wish the best of luck to all other single mums out there like me with their own sticky situations. We can do it, even if we are struggling, or feel alone or scared. We just have to have some faith and look forward to the best of times. I hope you all got some advice from my story that i was in love, maybe just like you, and i am having a child to someone i want Tyler to be apart of, even if he isnt the perfect father.

Life Goes On.....

Well in 18 and have a beautiful 10 month old baby girl!! I used to be that straight A student.... my whole family trusted me and well thought the best of me.... when i was 15 I met Joe.. it was love at first sight..we went out for a whole year before we decided to have sex...and after we did our relationship was great... it wasnt til 5 months later that i found out I was pregnant.. when i told him he was super happy, afterall he had always wanted to have a family young. I told my mom and she was very diasappointed with me but not mad. Soon after we got out own apartment and thats when everything changed. He started acting really different with me and after a year we realized that the love just wasnt there anymore and he had started drinking and smoking and I couldnt take it anymore.... so we split up.. now i live with my mom and work and go to college... Im not gonna lie its hard being a single parent but after all the hard work EVERYTHING IS WORTH IT..... AND LIFE GOES ON!! Looking at my babys beautiful face makes everything soo much easier and i know that someday i will find the right guy who loves me and my daughter but for now im not in a hurry to find him..... im just enjoying my daughter.. me and her father get along good were still friends and hes very involved with her and we hope to keep the communication between us for the babys sake... but everyone just remember that just because a few hard rocks get in our way it doesnt mean that you cant do it just believe in yourself and youll find the strenght in yourself!!!1

just to please my father.

im 15 and still in high school. around febuary 2008 i met a guy. luis. he was just supposed to be a rebound. so i thought. i ended up getting pregnant, and he ended up not really carinq. he told me to get an abortion cause he wouldent be around. i broke into tears, cause secretly i feel in love with him. i told my parents i was pregnant my dad tried to hit me, than he called me a slut and told me to leave the house. my step mom called me dumb. the only person i had in my life was my ex, and he knew i was pregnant by another man and he told me he wanted to take full responsibillity for me and the baby. i told my dad i needed a plane ticket and that he'd never have to see me again. he told me to get in tthe car. we drove for hours. and finally stopped at a clinic in miami downtown. we stepped inside and he told the lady at the front desk we were there for an abortion. i paniced not knowinq what to do. i went through the abortion. and my ex boyfreind alex? he ended up leaving me. so now i'm on deppresion pills and spend most days smoking pot and crying. if i could go back in time i'd stop myself from getting the abortion just to please my dad. even after i got the abortion, he treats me like shit. i wake up everday thinking about my unborn child that i killed, than i wish death upon myself.

from bad to worse to the best thing to ever happen

I was 16 and found out i was 5 wks pregnant. my boyfriend and i decided to terminate the pregnancy, but as soon as i went though with it i knew i did the wrong thing. i carried on with my life as i did before i fell pregnant, drinking, partying with friends like teenagers do. Then i found out i was still pregnant at 3 months, i just thought i wasnt getting my period because the abortion had stuffed up my tummy but i really was stil pregnant. i went and had another ultrasound and it was the same pregnancy, my baby was a twin and was in my folopian tubes while the other baby got terminated, the survivor dropped down out of my tubes days after the abortion. i decided at that time that this was happening for a reason and i kept my little miricle. i have been through a few more tests then the regular pregnancy and everything seems to be going fine. Im having a little boy. Im 30 weeks pregnant and am soo happy i kept my little boy. i couldnt live with not having him. he is a part of me now, feeling him kick is the most amazing feeling. i created life and almost blew it away because i thought i was too young for this responsiblity but im not, im copping so well. But sure you get dirty looks from people walking past but i've learnt not to mind. they have no idea what i've been though. my little boy is the best thing to ever happen to me. To everyone that's pregnant and young don't worry you can do it. don't ruin a babies chance to live.
My baby is my world already and he hasn't even arrived yet.

teen mommy of the most amazing little girl :)

April twenty first, two thousand seven is a day that will forever be inbedded in my memory. I was sixteen years old.The day I pee'd on at least five pregnancy tests with my best friend beside me, all of them positive. The boyfriend, Ryan, was the next one to know. I remember crying in his arms for hours, the same stunned look on his face as though I had paused time. Next in line where the parents, which didn't go well. Abortion was suggested, and both Ryan and I where strongly against it, so that was shortly no longer an option. Not to long later the desicion was made that we would keep our child. Ryan got a job, and I started babysitting. Our families were very much involved, helping so much more than I could've asked for. I continued to go to school, I was ridiculed and lost many friends. I had to quit cheerleading, and even the teachers gave me dirty looks and whispered as I walked by. With out my siblings, family, and the friends that stuck by me I don't think I would have made it through. March third, at 2:47 AM, Haylee Sophia Marie took her first breath. No words could describe the love for my daughter. It hasn't been easy, and I know the future only holds more bumps in the road. But looking at her sweet face makes it all worth it.

So, young mommies out there, you CAN do it. And your child loves you, and believes in you. As do I! I know what you're going through, and I know its hard. But looking at your babies smiling face will make everything better, you know it.

My daughter is my reason for breathing, and I love her more than any expression could ever show.
Haylee, mommies little Macaroni: I love you baby girl, and I would give the world for you. You're mommas' whole world sweetheart.
