15 and twins

i'm 15 and i don't know what to do i'm pregnant with twins. i know that i put myself in this situation and everything but it's really scary. but twins thats twice the work and twice the pain.i don't think he's ready to be a dad but i'm willing to put forth the effort and become a mom. it's my mess and i'll have to clean it up.

Only 14 and I have an almost 2 year old

I was raped at age 12, I ran away from home, and found out I was pregnant..... Seven months later I gave birth to a premature baby girl. She was beautiful, but I was so scared.... I didn't know what to do, I knew I couldn't tell my parents, I knew they wouldn't understand, I wouldn't have an abortion, thats not something I agreed with, and I definatly knew I couldn't give up the baby that I had carried in my heart for so long, up for adoption. I allready knew that the only thing to do was keep my baby girl ! She was born on June 3rd 2007 at 6:36 a.m She was my baby, she was the one thing nobody could ever take away from me ! it wasn't easy, but I raised her by myself with nobodyelses help.... She's almost two now, and you don't know how great it is to come home, and not even have time to take my jacket off before she's pulling on my leg, telling me what she did today, she's my baby, and even though how she came about wasn't the best thing in the world, I know I'm lucky to have my baby girl !!!!!!!


I love you Alijah

I should have listened to my brother.

I'm 16 and have a year old baby named Michael. And I'll start off saying: I should have listened to my brother.
You see, when I was 14 I met Ryan, he was 16 sweet, funny, cute, and he was a vegetarian so he understood me completely. I liked him a lot. There was times when I thought I was in love with him. But whenever I talked about him to my brother, he would always say: 'Stay away fom him, he's a sex maniac.'. But I like him so much, I didn't listen to him.
So one one night, I was hanging out with him and a couple of our friends at his house when he asked me to follow him into his room. I thought I loved him, so I followed him, thinking things like: 'Finally!" and I thought we were just going to make out. But we ended up having sex. I had no thoughts that I could get pregnant. But after a while, I never got my period. I was freaking out. So me and my best friend (I told her and she said she'd buy me some pregnancy test) went ad got some of the pregnancy test, about four or five and they were all positive. The thought of abortion never crossed me mind.My heart was pounding and I felt like crying. I couldn't tell my parents, they would be so ashamed and mad and angry. I was so scared, I didn't know what to do. But I did decide to tell Ryan about a month into my pregnancy, and he said it couldn't be his and denied it - and still does.
Finally, after crying over Ryan, realizing my brother was right all along, I told my parents. My mom burst into tears and my dad yelled. But they did tell me they will support me through it all, but I could hear their dissapointment.
And on April 21st, 2007, I gave birht to the most beautiful boy in the world. Even though I love him so much, I still know I should have listened to my brother. I wanted to be a seargen so bad...but not that seems much farther off.
My parents still don't know that Ryan is the father, I refused to mention his name. MY brother does know, and when I did tell him, I was ready for the 'I told yo so.' Though he has supported me through it all too.

Stella Jolie Walker

I was born into a family that needed work. Both my parents were married 3 times, they both had long records, and they both were drug addicts, drunks, and abusive. I was born in a state prison, my mom had been busted for doing drugs 3 weeks earlier. When my mom got out, she told my dad that he wasnt my dad, and 2 weeks later he killed her, and I was in foster care. I was bounced around from age 4 until age 15. I got into this weird family and they made their daughters work on the streets. I got pregnant and social services took me to a different family. This family is amazing. They provided me with everything I want my baby to have. I had my sweet baby girl on Valentines day, she's 9 months old. My foster family is watching her when Im at school and theyre great. I named my girl Stella Jolie because She is very cheerful and she's my little star. Also, from my experience being a foster child and now being adopted, I chose Jolie from Angelina. I gave my daughter my foster familys last name, as they are adopting me anyways. So Stella Jolie Walker she is.

mom of a preemie

hi im sara im 15 and i just had my beautiful son braidin. braidin was 3 months early.... i went into labor on a wednesday night and i had no idea i thought that i just had a bad back ache cuz everyone gets those when your pregnant. So the next morning i complained to my mom all day that my back hurt really bad and she said that i was ok and to just take some tylonal. so i took some and it didnt get any better later that night my friend and i were laying in bed talking and suddenly i felt like i wet myself. i started panicking cuz i was jus getting into the third trimester. my friend kept saying go tell ur mom and i was way to scared to. so finally i went and woke her up. my friends mom is a nurse at the hospital in are town so my mom called her and asked what we should do and she asked the doctor that was on duty and he said go to wausau which was about 45 mins away from where i live. megs( my friend) mom said that she would drive us to the hospital. i was having contractions that were about 10 mins apart. they hurt when they came but when they went i was laughing and having a good time with the girls. when we got to the hospital my doctor was waiting for us she took me straight into the room and had me change into a hospital gown and then checked me i was 3 centimeters dialated when she told me that i just bursted into tears. they started me on a bunch of meds to stop the labor. i was in the hospital for 2 days on saturday my contractions slowed down i was on bed rest. the doctor said that if the contractions stoped by the next day i could go home. the next day came around and i was barely having any and so the doctor came in and check to see if i was still dialated at 3 but when he was done checking i was now dialated at 5. he said that there was going to be a baby coming in the next few hours. i was so scared. at that point i wsa at 4 days of being in bed. yay me. later that night around 12:00 i felt like i needed to push. and another contration came so 5 mins later. i pushed for about 6 mins total and braidin came into the world breathing at 12:11 am sunday morning on August 31 2008 he was crying the doctors didnt expect him to. Braidin was 2lbs 2.5oz and 12.5 inches long. i saw him for maybe 5 mins then they rushed him to the NICU. i didnt get to see braidin til around 8 sunday morning. when i finally got to see him again i was so excited he was so small and beautiful. and the best part of it he was all mine. braidin was in the NICU for 10 weeks 7 of those week he was in a isolet, then he finally came home and he is now 5lbs 6oz. braidin means the whole world to me. i am not with braidins father anymore and leaving him was the best choice i ever made. we were together through my whole pregnacy and then after we broke up cuza the fact that he started doing drugs and ended up in jail again. I didnt want that in braidns life. which any good mom wouldnt. if he straightens up i will be more then happy to let him be apart of braidins life. braidin is now 2 and a half months old and he is doing wonderful. if i could go back and change everything that has happend i wouldnt at all. being a mom of a preemie is very hard i have to remeber to give him all of his med and hes on 10 of them he has to be woken up and fed and given his meds every 3 hours. i have a very long road ahead of me, but i can do it and i believe in all u other teen mommies too!! i love being a mommy.
