Unplanned MiracleI was 14 when I lost my virginity. I lost it with my boyfriend, Denyan. Denyan was the nicest, most loving boyfriend I ever had. We were going out for 5 months. When I got pregnant, I went to the doctors with my sister who is 16. As soon as I found out that I was pregnant, I burst out into tears. I didn't know what to do. I told Denyan and he told me that it was going be okay, and that he was going be there for me and the baby. And he was.When I told my mum, she told me to go find somewhere else to live. I wished my dad was around to help me because he would of really helped me through this time. He himself had 11 kids, but my dad died when I was 12. 9 months went by really fast and before I knew it I was in the hospital giving birth. All of my family was there, except my mum. In the labor room there was only the doctors, me and Denyan. I was in labour for 11 hours and all of a sudden I heard my beautiful baby cry. It turned out that he was a boy. We decided to call him Liam Chad James O'day. He weiged 6.11lbz on the 19/7/09 at 12:07 pm. Im proud to say that I am a good teenage mum. Im still in school and so is my boyfriend.

It was with my boyfriend, Jared. Jared seemed so nice and he was sixteen. He thought I was sixteen because we went to different schools so he thought I was a junior. I only dated him to show off to my friends that I was dating a older guy.Jared raped me when when we snuck out one night to go hang out at this party behind his school in the woods. It was so cool, because we drank beer. He gave me the "Date Rape" drug by secretly dosing some in my beer. I remember only one thing, and that was me screaming for help when he pulled down my pants, but no one was there. I found out I was pregnant when I went for a daily check up. The doctor told me I was two months pregnant. My mom was very upset but she is against abortion so she had me have the baby. I told Jared, and he was upset. I screamed at him for not using protection and having sex with me by force. He left town and I don't know where he went, but his mother told me he probably left because he did something bad. I agreed. I had the baby on November 23rd, 2007. The baby was beautiful, and I named her Cassandra (Mikayla). Now she is three and is waiting for 2011 to come so she can go to pre-school. She is a auburn haired girl with dark blue eyes and a soft face. I love her. Even though everyone says they never regret having their baby, I did at the beginning but then I didn't. Cassandra is beautiful and i love her. Alice Oh what a BlessingIt was the summer before my senior year at a catholic high school. My mom mentioned to me that I was around 3 weeks late for my period. It wasn't so abnormal because my period was always late. I decided to give it another week...We took a test together and it came back positive. My boyfriend and I were terrified. I told my parents the next day and they were devastated. I had just turned 17 three weeks before. My parents and I talked it over and we all decided that I was to stay at home and raise the baby with their help.I had a very smooth pregnancy with no complications at all. My due date was March 30, 2008. My friends at school were all very supportive and with them and the help of my family I had everything that I needed. On March 20th 2008 I called my boyfriend and told him that I was in labor. Not even 10 minutes later he was at the hospital with my mother, grandmother and my father. It was a long process and I ended up being in labor for over 36 hours. The pain was minimal since I had an epidural. At 2:17 pm on March 21 I gave birth to a very healthy baby boy weighing 7 pounds 3 ounces. When I heard him cry my boyfriend and I cried too. We were so happy that everything worked out just fine...It was a picture perfect day...Without the love and support from my family, my boyfriend's family, and all our friends, I wouldn't have been able to do it. I am now a junior at a big university, work 2 jobs, and do everything that I possibly can to give my son the best life that a mother could give her child. It was very hard to finish high school and go on to a big university right away, but since I live with my parents I am more than able to get through it. They do a lot for me and they love their grandson to pieces. My boyfriend and I are now engaged and will be getting married in the near future. I want to finish school and settle down in a place of my own first. That way I can ensure the best life for my son possible. It's not easy being a teen parent, but for all you girls out there that are in the same situation that i was in nearly three years ago i just want to say that if you keep your chin up and do everything that you are destined to do in your life, whether it's be becoming a doctor, or just working to get by, you can do it. I don't recommend becoming pregnant at 17 or anything of the sort. I can tell you all to be careful and use protection. Being a mother means everything in the world to me. My son's second birthday is coming up really soon. Time goes by so fast, but I don't regret a single thing. As long as you keep your priorities straight in your life you can pull through. Good luck to all of you girls out there, young and old, who are dealing with this stress right now. Remember, if you put your mind to it, anything is possible teresa A Baby that had a Baby <3Hey, My name is Angela and here is my story.When I was 12 I went to my first party. That's what started it. I started hanging out with the older crowd and started drinking and doing all sorts of drugs. When I look back now I think to myself what the heck was I thinking. But you no what- it was a life changer . I went on with that scene for a year and after I graduated grade 8, I went nuts. I went full out and tried to get a name for high school, but then a week before school started, I ended up pregnant. I didn't know I was. I was too caught up in the "scene". Then one week, all i did was puck in the morning. I never thought anything of it. My mom asked me if I was pregnant and I said no. But it got me wondering and so I went a stole a test and did it at home I literally fell off the toilet when it came back positive. I ran up town and found my friend and told her I was. We had this huge plan to hitch hike to Toronto and get a abortion. Then I thought about it and I couldn't do it! I couldn't kill a innocent baby that hadn't even seen day light, so I decided to keep it. Now the hard part was telling my mom, and the father and his new girlfriend. lol. I went to school one day and everyone kept asking me if it was true and i lied about it. But, I was already showing so I couldn't lie anymore. I came out with it and ppl that made fun of me for it, I would knock out. It was stupid of me, but I was ashamed of it myself. When I got back to my home, a woman came up to me and told me if I didn't tell my mother that she would and that I didn't want my mom to hear from anyone else but meT. But i was so scared to tell her. So when I went home that night, my sister and I spent the whole night with them. Then they sent us up to bed and when we went up there I told my sister. Tongigt is the night. I cried and cried cause I disappointed them. They let me keep my child and helped me raise my son. Anyway that's the hard part. When i delivered my son, I had a emergency c-section becasue the cord was around his neck twice. It was the scariest, hardest, most painful thing I ever did in my life, but I would do it again in a heart beat for a child. I'm 16 now with a 19 month old baby boy. He changed me. If it wasn't for the angel coming to me, I would either be a crack head or even dead . But my angel helped me in the btest way <33333 And that is my story. All you young teen mothers can do it. You just have to look at what the creator is offering you . angela 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 | ||||||||||||||||
