my perfect accident

hey everyone my name is johanna, i am 18 years old and i have a 5 month old baby. when i was about 4 months off my 17th birthday me and one of my close guy friends started doing a friends with benefits sort of thing, at first it was great but then we let our emotions become involved and i fell in love with him. we decided to end it and he got a girlfriend pretty much straight away which hurt me. soon after i found out that i was pregnant and i told him, but he didnt believe me i had to confirm it with the doctor before anything happened. he was far from happy with it and started saying that it was all my fault i was a whore and a bitch, eventually his girlfriend broke up with him because of it. he still to this day hates me but i dont care i now have a beautiful 5 month old baby boy dominic jason, who is my world! my mum is so over the moon with everything and im happy to be a single mum, i now realise he did me a favour, i couldve never been with him after that or exposed dominic to that!

Everything happens for a reason

My name is leigh ann and im 5 months pregnant. I found out i was pregnant on july 22nd but i basicly knew way before that i just hadnt been able to actually find out till my mom ended up taking me to the doctor. But anyway my story started back when i started talking to james. He had just moved in up the street from me but ive known him from when we were both younger because he was one of my older sisters old friends. He is 21 and even before we started really talking my sister had told me not to do anything with him because he was nothing but trouble. Of course im stubborn and i didnt listen to her because i thought i was really starting to like him. Well james and i started seeing eachother more often and having sex. We were together for about 3 months before i got pregnant in may. I told him one night that i was pretty sure i was pregnant and that its most deffinately his and he seemed happy at that time. He had hugged me and held me tight and told me he was gonna be there for me and support me and take care of me and the baby and that he loved me. At that time i was happy and i felt like everything was gonna be ok and we were gonna do this together. Well everything i thought was wrong.
James started to not see me much the only time he would ever see me was at night sometimes. He always had a reason of some type of why he couldnt see me. I started seeing him leaving off the street with another girl and when i asked him about it he said it was his brothers girlfriend and he was only getting rides from her. A couple weeks later he moved to his grandmas house. Meanwhile i was sitting at home upset and alone because nobody else knew about me being pregnant at the time so i had nobody to talk to about anything that was going on. I was also in the middle of playing softball and being on the allstar team. Thats also when i heard he was now talking to 46 yr old women, pam. I didnt know what to do anymore.
Right after softball ended thats when i found out for sure i was pregnant because my mom was starting to expect something and she took me to the doctor. I was happy she knew now but it was hard because she knew what was going on with james. Me and my mom both asked him about him seeing pam and he denied it. We talked to james mom about it and she said that they were together and she left her husband for him when she herself has 3 kids. She now lives at james grandmas and hes still saying nothings going on but i know it is and so does everybody else. Not to mention the fact that im hearing now that hes got another baby on the way with some other girl. I dont know yet if this is true or not though.
So now im 5 months pregnant and starting to be happy again. Me and james are no longer speaking and im starting to talk to a really nice guy. Hes really sweet and actually understands everything im going through and has been there for me alot in the short time we've been talking. My mom and dad are supporting me and are there for me whenever i need them. I couldnt ask for better parents. My older sister is helping alot because she knows how it feels to be in my shoes because shes been here to. The baby is growing fast and time is just flying by now, in no time ill be able to hold my precious baby. I will love her to no end and do everything i can for her nomatter what because shes my baby and she will come first in my heart always. And how i think of it is everything ive been through has made me stronger and that everthing happens for a reason and only god knows the answers to why it does.

young motherhood

I was 14 when i met Derek. He was 16 and it felt good to have my first "real" boyfriend. I met him through one of my guy friends, and we clicked right away. We seemed to have everything in common and better yet, Derek was interested in me. Me! A 8th grader while he was in 10th grade. The summer before ninth grade, Derek and I became boyfriend and girlfriend.

We hadent really discussed sex before but as we got further into our realtionship, i felt that we needed to talk about it, because I knew that Derek was experienced, and i was not. So when we talked about it, it sorta went like this "All of my ex girlfriends had sex with me, you're going to. Right?" And that was that. We had sex 4 months into our realationship. Soon after that it became a regular thing, and we usaully used protection, but if there was none we continued anyway. I am actulley sorta shocked at how long we lasted without me getting pregnant. One whole year. It's kinda ironic that i got pregnant in July, almost the same day we started dating. But when Derek and i found out i was pregnant there was nothing funny about it.

Over the course of our realationship, Derek and i broke up 7 times, but our "breaks" only had ever lasted up to 2 weeks. So i don't know if it counts when i say that we dated for a year and 2 months before we broke up for good. Because i know that Derek took the oppertunity to sleep with other girls everytime we had a breakup.

I found out i was pregnant at 6 weeks along, thats what my doctor told me. Derek's first reaction was that i needed to get an abortion. Not should, but needed. And i wouldnt have it. I knew the second i saw our babies heartbeat that i could never go through with it. Maybei could if i had never seen the heartbeat, but i had. So thats when he broke up with me. When i was 8 weeks pregnant, and i told him i refused to kill our baby.

When Derek and i were no longer together, i knew that it was over for good. The other times we broke up didnt involve me being pregnant. So i became depressed over the next two weeks and my mother noticed. So she asked why i knew it was over for good, "why wouldnt Derek and i work out?" And thats when i told her i was pregnant.

Overall my mom was supportive of me, execpt when Dereks parents didnt help out. They said that unless i got DNA to prove he was the father, they werent having anything to do with it. I couldnt believe that u had actulley fallen for Derek. School was really tough on me because i got stares from everybody, and whats worse is that they knew Derek was the father, and that he had left me. You would think people would look down on him, but no. They said he dooged a bullet.

At 18 weeks pregnant i found out the sex of the baby, which was a girl. I was really happy about that because i thouht about all the things i could do with her, rather than if i had a son. Not that i wouldnt being doing things with him, it's just boys are more into sports, and that was something a dad would do with him.

On may 27th Autem Kendall was born. She was born 3 days before her due date. And even more she was beautiful. I left school for the rest of the year, and finnished my junior year at home. Meanwhile Derek was in his second year of college, and instead of staying in out town at our local university, one of his friends told me he was transfering to a college nearly 1,000 miles away. I felt happy ay first but then i realized that he truely didnt care about his own daughter.

Autem is now 4 months old, and she is truley amazing. Derek has seen his daughter, but only once. He asked me to see her before he left for college, and he held her for about 5 minutes. Not even with her for an hour before he left. I feel truely sad that Derek will never get to feel the joy i do when i home home to my smiliing baby girl. But i also know that it is his choice. So here i am, a 17 year old single mom and I'm happy.
