His first Cry!! proud mom at 18Hello Im going to share my story. Let me start off by saying my baby is a blessing with or without his father. I was finishing up my medical course. I started to get sick vomit sore brest frequent dizzy spells. so took a pregnancy test it was neg. (so i thought). then i waited a week and went to the doctor they told me i was pregnant. i was shocked and happy at the same time. i called my boyfriend at the time of 2 years and told him he said are you sure i said yes im at the doc office as we speak he said well how much is an abortion? i was silent and ended the call i thought to my self as i walked to my car HOW COULD SOMEONE I SHARED MY LIFE WITH FEEL THIS WAY HOW COULD THAT BE THE FIRST THOUGHT IN HIS MIND HOW COULD HE TREAT HIS OWN CHILD LIKE THIS? i have seen this done to my mother growing up when she got pregnant with my brother i said to my self how could this happen to me. well i was pregnant for 39 long weeks and had my beautiful baby boy named jayden. he is a momma boy. his father moved out of state i called when the babyy was born he said ok i hope you 2 have a good life because i started a new one and my girlfriend has a baby on the way. that short phone call hurt worse then him not being there for the birth of jayden, it also made me strong he has changed his phone number. me and my son jayden are doig fine we have a nice car a two bedroom town house i work at a medical office and i wouldnt ask for anything to have been changed. so all you single parents out there keep yyour head heald high. JMJ single momim crystal and i got pregnant at the age of 17 and i have decided im gonna keep my baby. my baby is my world and i could never get an abortion or give him up for adoption. the baby's father knows and told me that its not his. my dad was a little disappointed when i told him that i was pregnant, but he came around and now he's in love with his grandson as much as i am. the baby's father left because i kicked him out of my house because during the pregnancy he grabbed me by my throat and threw me against a wall and i was not about to let him do that stuff to me and make me lose my son. now i am going to be a mom on october, 10th 2009 and i am happy about it and i would never give upp my son because people tell me too. i have a place of my own and i'm ready for my son to be born and we will be happy together just mommy and her lil man,crystal BEING A SINGLE MOM....HI, MY NAME IS CRYSTAL I AM A 24 YEAR OLD SINGLE MOTHER ON FOUR WONDERFUL CHILDREN.

MY CHILDREN GAVE ME THE STRENGHT.......CRYSTAL CERDA Life goes onWhen I was 15, I got pregnant. It wasn't suppose to happen, though it did. When I was 14, 2 months before my 15th birthday, I got pregnant.How could the girl who never gets in trouble, never got bad grades, and never was so "popular" get pregnant? Usually it was thought for my twin sister who was very popular to get pregnant. My mom even knew it... And my mom knew it so well she even told me and Ashley that there were pregnancy test in the first drawer on the right in the bathroom in a box. My mom checked the bok everyday to see if any of the 5 pregnancy test were taken. none. Then I met Cody, a small town popular boy. He just had moved from California, so he was tan, buff, and 16. I looked older then I did, So I said I was 15, cause he said he only dated girls one year younger then her or 2 years older, and since my birthday then was 4 months away, I'd just play along. On the date, everything went perfect. Cody was charming and sweet, and I was funny and pretty. So thats when me and Cody got closer. At home, Amanda got very slutty (sorry for the language). My mom noticed and started to put birth control secertly in her purse so if Amanda was about to "do it", she usually get more slutty and puts gum in her mouth and they would swap gum, so amanda would notice the pills that were in the same pocket at her gum. But then I got more worried. Amanda was very "hott", so I never wanted my mom to see that he was two years older then me and that Amanda would play "flirt around" while I got ready upstairs, like she did with 3 or 4 other boys I went out with and ended up breaking up with me and dating Amanda. So I wanted to give Cody "everything". So that night, we "did it". 4 weeks later, I found out I was pregnant with a guys baby who was 16 years old. How was a going to tell Cody? He was only a nice guy looking for a nice realationship! How was...I? I did take one of Moms test, so Mom did look since Amanda had a date the night I took it, so mom checked and saw one was missing, and looked in the trash for it and found the test that was positive. Mom had a "family meeting" without my dad since my mom and dad were divorced, and me and Amanda had sat in the livingroom for 1 hour and 30 minutes saying we didn't, until I finally confessed I was the one who took it. Mom was sad. She also gasped in loss, because she would have never thought I would get pregnant. She just kept saying "Zoey, how...could...you??" She would say every 5 minutes. 6 months later in April, everyone at school looked at me. I missed a lot of school, because my mom needed me to learn how to take care of the baby, So everyone was suprise my mom had regestered me for school again and I came to school, with a big belly. What about Cody? I told him 1 month into the pregnancy, and he looked at me, and my belly. He touched it, and looked like her was going to get down on his knees, and cry into my stomach, but he didn't. He just stood there, smiling. I asked him way, and he said he had to move away, and he was smiling because he still loved me. He walked away and told me goodbye. I cried and walked away. He probably felt bad. But when I went to school, 6 months pregnant, everyone just stared at me. they looked at me, and my best friend Jenny and my other best friend Brian walked up to me. She looked at me and looked at my belly and just said, "Were here for you." and walked with me. The baby was born at 4:30am on July 16th, 2008, she was amazing. She was beautiful. It was baby Stella. Stella is a couple months old, I love her. remember, life goes on. Zoey My KatieI found out I was pregnant when I was 24 years old, just out of college. I was married, but when I told my husband, Alec, that I was pregnant, he freaked out and left. Since I'd promised myself at the tender age of 11 that I would never get an abortion, I knew I was keeping it.So after a rather uneventful pregnancy, my beautiful little girl, Katie Cassidy, was born. Today, she is a bright and happy 6 year old welcoming a new baby sister, Holden, into the world. I had since gotten married to the man I love, Josh. He already had a little girl named Anna. Now she's 10. My little blonde angel loves her family. As far as she is concerned, Josh is her daddy, and Anna is her sister. Katie is in third grade, since she skipped first, and she is as happy as can be. I wouldn't give her up for the world. When I hear her say, "I love you Mama," my heart melts and it reminds me of how much I love my baby girl.
