Pregnant so young

well im 17 years old. I was 16 when i found out that i was pregnant.I was living with my sister when i got pregnant. Me and my boyfriend had been dating for almost a year and a half when i foung out i was pregnant. I moved with my mom to a different state before i found out i was pregnant. i was still with my boyfriend. My mom was asking me why i didnt start my peroid yet. i kinda had a feeling that i was pregnant but i played dumb. i told her i started and i faked my peroid. My mom ended up finding out that i faked it. She left for almost the whole day. when she came back she had a pregnancy test for mr to take. When i took it, it came out that i was. my mom was so mad. she yelled at me then she cried. Then after all that she called my boyfriend and told him. well after all the smoke cleared we went and picked up my boyfriend and me my boyfriend and my sister ended up moving in together. My sister was pregnant too. she was 2 months farther along then me. i love my sister to death but she waould always put me down for being so young and stupid. and getting pregnant. so then me and my boyfriend ended up moving in with his parents house. im now 39 weeks almost time. my mom isnt going to be at the doctors with me. its only going to be me and my boyfriend. i love him so much. He has helped me the most through this whole thing. His family took me in. He is the only family that i have left now. Its now on just me and him to take care of our son. He has no money and its hard to get a job and keep it. And i cant work because im almost due. But i know we will make it through this hard times

can't move forward

i got pregnant at the age of 23, and my ex boyfriend is four years younger than me. At time that we both found out that i'm pregnant, he was confused and want an abortion, but i did not agree to his idea.i was really hurt that he did not accept the responsibilities. when i was five pregnant he left me, and never heard or even see him for a couple of months. that moment a girl came into my place, his ex-girlfriend who was still very in-love with him. but when she found out that i am pregnant she cried in front of me..until both of us crying cox we both found out that both of us are fooled by him. until we become good friends till the day i give birth to my baby..we never talk about our ex-boyfiend coz maybe we both know it will just gonna make us cry..i have to admit that until now i am still in love with my ex.. there are times that we cross ways. but he never even ask or talk to me about the baby.. i did everything to have him back but he alway refuse to see me or talk to me.. it just keep hurting me t coz he was with lots of new girls in his life now..this time i'm enjoying my life with my baby, loving her unconditionally.and working hard alone for her future. i can hardly move forward coz i was still in-love with him.

No child is a mistake!

I was 17 yrs. old ( a senior in high school) when i got pregnant!! I heard everything from I wasn't going to be anything, to how could you make this horrible mistake and you have your entire life ahead of you!! At first i started n\believing what people said about me and my baby!! But at the end of my senior year I graduated with honors and I was ranked 32 out of 180 students. I never considered my child to be a mistake because he made me change many things within myself, for him and ME!! No, it wasn't and still isn't easy but with the help of God i made it through what i thought was the worst time of my life. My son is 6 years old and I don't know where I would be without him!! Never let someone put you down with the mistakes that we make. However, even though we may have made a big mistake by having sex at a young age, the blessing that came from it was not put on this earth by accident!!

At 17 and 22

Hi i'm Christina and here is my story. I was 17 I got pregnant for the first time (the worst situation in my life!). I was was in high school and I thought I was in love. Luckily I got with him but soon he got me pregnant. I didn't know what to do! He soon got very abusive and started hitting and yelling at me. This kept on going on and on. I still didn't know what to do! I soon gave birth to my beatiful daughter Jocelyn, my little princess. I loved her with all my heart. Later my boyfriend made me marry him and it wasn't a wedding day, it was a place to walk in with a tee and sweats and get a marriage license. I still got abused and it was horrible to see my baby watch her mommy get hurt. Three years later he got me pregnant again with a boy named after him. We call him Junior, my handsom little man. My husband didn't belive that was his son because Junior was a lighter skin color. Months later I left my husband and filed a divorse. I also got full costudy of both of my wonderful children. I ended up going to collage and I became an accountant/secrtary. I even have my own house. It is very terrific for a single mother to become very succesful. Jocelyn had just turned 13 and Junior is going to be 10 in November 2009. For single moms who got pregnant in there teen years you can be succesful too. Good luck
