Proud mommy

when i first became pregnant with my fist baby i was fresh outta high school. i had big dreams. I had been talking to a guy that i had met through friends, he was really nice and easy to get along with. I knew that he had a baby on the way already, but we were strictly suppose to be just friends, but on my 18th birthday things went a lil farther, a month later i found out i was 5 weeks pregnant. First thing that came to my mind was abortion. I knew that his son was due any day now and i really didn't want anything more with the guy. but when i heard the baby's heartbeat, i fell in love. i just couldn't do it. Well he decided that he was going to make things work with the mother of his son. Which left me alone throughout the whole pregnancy. He was cold hearted to me, he denied her, he was emoitionally abusive. On March 12, 2005 i gave birth to a baby girl, Nevaeh Nikole Sales weighing in at just 5lbs 5 oz. She is now three and rarely sees her father. Its been a bumpy road. But she makes it worth while. I moved one eventually and Met a guy, he was a co-worker, and i enjoyed his company. Well as time went by and our friendship grew my feelings also grew. We ended up sleeping together on many occasions and i ended up pregnant in October of 2007. i really thought he was the one. He is older than me by 7 seven years Nevaeh loved him and everything seemed right until one night in November i found out that he has also got my best friend pregnant prior to us getting together. it was the hardest thing to forgive him but i did and two weeks later he broke up with me. Since then he hasn't really been part of my life. I am currently 28 weeks and he still hasn't heard his son's heat beat. He lives his life as if i dn't exist. he comes around once in a while. Doesn't call. Looks like i repeated history. Dn't get me wrong i love my kids and dn't regret either one of them i just wish i would have been smarter. Im now a single mom once again and its depressing and embarassing. but i gotta be strong for them. So to all u single moms out there. keep ur heads up. Things will get better for us.

pregnant cheerleader and unhappy baby daddy

well i was always the good girl. I never did drugs or drank. In my junior year of high school i even made my schools cheer squad.And i was with my boyfriend of 4 years.i was so happy i thought i had everything.

in october 2007 we had sex after his schools dance and we thought nothing will happen cause we almost never used protection and nothing ever happened. later that month we had broken up. then suddenly at cheer practice i started feeling sick and one of my friends took me to the bathroom and i started vomiting. I thought i was just tired.And i felt really sick again at a football game while i was cheering.

I started thinking oh my god i think im pregnant. i asked one fo my friends to get me a home test. and i did two of them and they both came out positive.i was in shock so i decide to tell my ex and he thought i was lying to him so i could i get get back with him.so one day we had an appointment and he came with me . he then tells me that he wants to be in that babys life and he wants to get back with me.but the thing was he had an other girlfriend. so later that day when the clinics test confirmed that i was really pregnant he broke up with his other girlfriend.

months go by and everything is going fine hes supporting me and we finally told my mom. at first she was mad but now she accepts it. and right now im currently 31 weeks and i'm having a baby boy.but recently my boyfriend is acting really different . he rather be with his friends and when we do talk on the phone its like he doesnt care and its like i have to force him to talk to me. and im really tired of it and he complains about how im annoying and basically tells that hes tired of me.

so i dont know wat to do should i leave him after 4 years and pregnant with his son or stay with him but when hes not even happy with me. im really afraid to do everything on my own. i thought he was going to be there with me. so i dont know wat to do. all i want is my son and im impatiently waiting 2 months for him to come already. even though some people stopped talking to me and even my cheer squad act like they dont know me. so i guess i have to put my head up.

mom at 15

Well I was 15 when I found out I was having my first child. my boyfriend and I had been best friends since we were born. our parents were best friends so we always truly knew at some point in time we would end up together. when I was 12 we started becoming boyfriend and girlfriend and just 3 days before my 15 birthday I found out I was at least 4 weeks pregnant. both shay and I had big dreams. I wanted to be a doctor and he wanted to be a lawyer but we both knew that this would stand in the way but I was so sure I was going to make it to my dream. at 5 months I had to be put on bed rest due to being high risked. I was diagnosed with preeclampsia. shay was by my side. he was too home schooled so he could spend every minute he could with me. he soon moved in with me so he could be with me at the time I went in to labor. at 7 months I had a baby girl. she weighed 3lbs 7oz and the doctors told us that she may not make it. her lungs were not fully developed but Isabella had other plans. she was truly a fighter. 2 months later she came home. she is now 6 in half months old weighing 14 pounds. she is now caught up with her age weight. And we found out just two days ago I was pregnant again and shay and I plan on getting married. But no matter what life throws at you just keep going for your dreams. shay and I are still reaching for ours

Maeve and

Hi, my name is Eva, I am 25, I am a university graduate, and I use to be a single mom all the way through university. I found out I was pregnant right after my high school grad, I was upset and confused and no matter what I wouldn't tell anybody who the father was. By the way his name isn't on the birth certificate. Anyway, I was 3 months pregnant when I told everybody and they were happy for me, I always was good with kids and I always wanted babies young. Well when I was 5 months and starting to get a bump I went out to party and got drunk but I didn't do drugs. I drank away my hangovers for a week and it wasn't until my best friend snapped me out of it that I realized the harm I was doing. It was then that I decided to keep my baby, if she could make me stop partying before I even met her than I could never give her away. I got it together and bought a small 2 bedroom house that was really nice on the inside, new kitchen and bathrooms, new floors etc. and I bought a car, a Nissan Tiida, and I furnished my new house. I asked my parents for the money to get started and they gave it to me so I payed cash for the house and for the car and I didn't get in debt. Plus they sent me a check every month to pay for university. They were amazing support, which is why when I gave birth I had to take my moms name, Graziella, as a middle name, and my dads name, Jasper, as a second middle name. I spent my entire pregnancy name searching for something different and I found exactly what I wanted. Less than 24 hours before my delivery I might add. After only 3 hours of labor I gave birth to a raisin with hair and limbs. I fell in love with my very own raisin and named her Maeve Grazielle Jasper , Mae was my grandmothers name and I love how it looks in Maeve. Anyways, I didn't put a father on her birth certificate, just a mother, and I think it's better that way. I finally got to take home my raisin as she would come to be called by me, and once we got settled in things went smoothly. Maeve was a really easy baby, I breastfed her until she hit 13 months and I can honestly say that she slept through the night the day after the food-every-two-hours rule was taken away. She is 7 now and she has a "dad", James, a little brother, Fabrice Zain Canan, who is 3, and a baby sister, Yolanda Simone Vui, who is 5 months old.

17,pregnant, and single....sort of

Well for starters, this will probably be a pretty long story.....as it goes back to age 14, and i am now 17.... okay, when i was 14 i was diagnosed with severe cervical displaysia, and they told me that i would more than likely never have kids.... well i had surgery, and dumb ol me, i never went for my check up, and still haven't....well i was with this guy named josh, who i had known for several years, but my mother didn't approve of our relationship, let's just say she's a little old fashioned.....so i was on birth control, not only for safety precautions, but also to regulate my period, which hasn't been regular since i got it at 10 years old...well, while i was trying to figure out a way to break up with josh (sounds cruel, but things were ackward, he was just better as a friend) i ran into my ex, the one prior to josh, whom i thought i loved, hes 22 and im only 17, but for some odd reason, no one disagreed in my family....well this was in november of 07, and in december my mom rushed me to the hospital because i was cramping and bleeding pretty bad, and in between periods), which had only happened once before (when i found out i had cervical displaysia)weirdly enough i was pregnant, and the cramping and bleeding was caused by an extremely bad infection (i had gotten off of this butthole of a guy) and they said i had a 50/50 chance of having a miscarriage....needless to say, i luckily didn't, but ever since that night, the babys father has been denying it, we split up, very shortly afterwards, because he was WAY too immature.....and when he moved out, he began to run his mouth, stating that i had all these std's and what not(because of that infection....what an idiot), that i am whore, etc. i am now 6 months pregnant, obviously i kept it, because i don't believe in abortion, nor do i think i could carry a kid for nine months, then just hand it over to some stranger....and have had one failed relationship since him, and am currently "talking" to another guy who is 29, he is so supportive and wants to be with me, but he says he wants to wait things out.....i.e. take them slow, because he has a feeling Paul (the babys father) is gonna all the sudden claim the baby once it's born (he claims the baby when he feels like it) well im happy with this new guy, and dont blame him for wanting to see what happens, but paul will not leave me alone, he has since asked me to marry him, i said no, because he's abusive, forced me to have sex with him, and is an asshole, if i didn't have a heart, i would make it so he couldn't see the baby at all, trust me i could, for the above stated reasons, and he's a drunk, a druggie, and has been in jail 2 times this year already......he's a low life.....on top of all this, basically my whole family has disowned me, all except for my mom (who is better, but still needs a little bit of time), and of all people, my step-mom.....it's kind of weird....but this new guy is not only 11 years older (i will be 18 in less then 2 months)and he's black and i'm white, and that's the same problem my mother had with josh, so im confused, and it sucks, my life is so messed up, but im trying to make it better.....i was depressed before i got pregnant, and with all of this added stuff, i go through these weird thoughts every day on how happy i am to have this oppurtunity, after being told i could prolly never have kids, and then thinking why am i doing this, but luckily i have my mom, my over enthusiaistic step- mom, and the new guy shawn, im starting to fall for him he's great.......but yea, i know if i can do it, anyone can, oh did i mention on top of this, i got kicked out, moved back in, and am at risk of failing my senior year?...lol....so yea, to all the young mothers and mothers-to-be out there, just please keep your head up.....if not for yourself, for the unborn life you have created...and screw what people say, just cause youre young and pregnant, it doesnt make you a slut or a whore, or a bad person, everybody makes mistakes, its just that some people grow up and take responsibility for their actions....
