My baby

I was 17 years old when i found out i was pregnant with my son his "dad" was in the marines. We dated for 3 years before i ended up pregnant and i thought that we was perfect together. the last year together we dated on and off he would come home we would get together then he would leave and wed break up. Well it was thanksgiving weekend and we didnt use protection.And about 3 months later i found out i was pregnant. Well we was doing great and then he started accusing me of cheating on him. Ithought to myself that i would never do that to someone i love let alone the father of my child. Well we fought for hours then he called me and told me he didnt want anything to do with our baby and that i needed to have an abortion.I told him no and we didnt talk for months.Then i found someone else that loved me even though i was pregnant by someone else. On August 26 2009 my son was born and he still didnt try contacting me.So i gave up on him. And when my son was 10 months old i found out i was pregnant again. I know what everyone is thinking but birthcontrol didnt work for this one. I was 18 years old with 2 kids i didnt no how i was going to do it. I had dropped out of school and worked full time at a crappy job just to support one kid.How was i going to take care of 2. and on december 1 2010 my daughter was born. I am 20 years old now with a 2 year old son and a 9 month old daughter i worry everyday how good i am raising my kids. But then i sat down and thought that my kids have everything that they want and need plus more.they have a mom that loves them and a wonderful dad that has stuck with me since the so called dad walked out on me. I am going back to school with the help of my mom. I dont work and i jus got married to a wonderful man. my kids are spoiled rotten and i never thought how hard it would be to be a mother as young as i am.

Pregnant in a long distance relationship

Alex, my boyfriend and I meet though my cousin. His best friend was dating my cousin. Well he lived in Missouri and I lived in Washington. So we meet August of 2009. We dated long distance for about 4 months. Then December 2009 we finally meet in person. He came to my home town for Christmas. While he was here for 2 weeks we ended up having sex a few times. He went home back to Missouri and we keep up are long distance relationship. About half way into January h2011 I noticed my period was late. I thought nothing of it. Then in February I stated getting really sick all the time in the morning. So I went to the drug store and took a pregnancy test. It came out positive. So I called Alex and told him. He was so scared but he said he would be there for me. We each told are parents separately. Both took it well and would support us End of March Alex came to visit during his spring break. I was just starting to show I was about 4 months along at the time. He came to a doctor appointment and everything while he was there. Then the big decision had to be made. We sat down with my parents and we decided the best thing to do would be for Alex to moved to Washington after he finished out his Jr. Year of high school. We then the first week of April 2010 flew too Missouri during my spring break. I finally meet his parents then. They agreed that Alex moving to Washington would be a good thing. So I returned to Washington. During the next 2 months of waiting for Alex to move to Washington I became very considered about what Alex would think of my pregnant body. He really had only seen a skinny me. Of course I was sending him pictures and stuff but I wondered how he would feel about it. It was hard on Alex during those 2 months. He had to start saying goodbye to his friends and start becoming a dad. He also hated that he missed doctor appointments and feeling the baby kick. Then June of 2010 finally came and I picked Alex up at the airport to come live with me and the baby in Washington. I remember as he was driving my car home from the airport all he wanted to do was feel the baby kick and move around. We were so happy. We got to go to an ultrasound about a week after he moved to find out the sex and we were having a little boy. We were so excited. Our whole summer was us getting the babies room ready and adjusting to us living with each other. Alex was a very hands on dad during the pregnancy he loved to feel the baby kick and he would love to talk to and kiss my growing belly. Then August hit and I started having problems. The baby was breached. Alex and I really wanted a natural birth. So the doctor asked me to go on bed rest to see if that helped the baby turn. We went back a week later and he was turned corretly now my doctor was telling me I was gaining to much weight. She told me I gained 3 lbs in a week. And now that I think about it I shouldn't have been surprised I wasn't eating well at all during my pregnancy and I know I wasn't. Then on September 3 2010 I was laying in bed with Alex talking and my water broke. I then started having really bad painful contractions. Alex took me to the hospital were I was then in labor for 14 hours. Then at 11 at night I started pushing. Ryder Alexander Davis came into the world at 11:45 pm on September 3 2010 Alex and I feel in love the minute we saw him. He looked just like his dad. Today Ryder will be 1 in 4 days. Alex and I were both able to.graduate from high school on time. Ryder is Just as happy as he can be and on his first birthday we are going to tell him he is going to have a little brother or sister. I am now 8 weeks pregnant again. Alex and I are super excited to have another. We are also getting married September 17th. We are excited spend the rest of our lives together. Ryder is getting big so fast he is walking and trying to get into everything now. We made a trip after Ryder was born and this summer to Missouri to see Alex's parents and friends. They are very happy for us. Alex and I hope to have an amazing future with our wonderful growing family.

Solo teen mom

When I found out I was pregnant I cryed because I was olny 17 and still in school. I thought that the baby's father would stay around and would be caring. When I told him the frist thing he said was Are you sure? well I think you should get an abortion.... Abortion to me is wrong and murder. The baby's father called his older brother who works in a pharmacy and said something. His older brother told him to tell me to take all my birth control pills and that should kill the baby. I wouldnt do that. Adoption I consider, I asked my older sister and brother in law if they would be willing to adopt the baby, after looking at their bills and stuff they told me that they cant afford another baby. Then i started talking to one of my mom's friend who cant have kids due to health reason and such. I though about letting her and her husband adopt the baby but when I sat down and really thought about it I knew that I couldnt do it. The main reason why I wouldnt be able to put my child up and let other people raise her was because I shouldnt have even had sex if I wasnt ready for a child, I knew that It would hurt me to much to see someone else raise the baby that I gave birth too. Meanwhile I was throwing up 17 times a day. Lost 30 pounds, while my baby father was partying up at college. The baby's father and I fight because I dont give him his way. He live 300 miles away at college and thinks that seeing the baby once a month is ok. He thinks that the baby should have his last name but on top of that he also wants a DNA test because his Parents dont think the baby is his. His parents tell him what to do still and to me his parents shouldnt have any right to this baby. The baby's dad is Named Kasey by the way. Kasey told me that if the baby was a girl he knows its not his because olny boys are born frist in family. I made Kasey go to the ultrasound were we found out the sex turns out the baby is a girl. ( girls run in my family) He was pissed off. We also found out that her kidney was bigger than it should have been and Kasey blamed me for that, telling me I was going to be a horrible mom and its all my fault. The doctor said it wasnt my fault that her kidney was bigger and that it just happens sometimes. Today Im 9 months pregnant and havent heard from Kasey or anyone in his family. I meant a great guy and he acts more like my daughter's father. I dont plan on telling Kasey or anyone in his family that the baby is born. I got sick of hearing from his family on how I was going to be such a horrible mother because I was so young. I know being a teen parent is going to be hard but I will protect my daughter from her dad.

a tragic end

When i was 16 years old my summer going into junior year i got pregnant. I was dating my boyfriend Cole for a about 1 year when we found out we were expecting. I tried keeping my story a secret for as long as i could. Cole would take me to all my doctors appointments because he was 18 while i was only 16 and i couldnt drive and we were keeping it a secret. I was 3 months into my pregnancy when i found out we were expecting twins. I didnt know what to do i was 16 pergnant with noone knowing and having twins. My family was very religious and i didnt know how they would take it but i knew they had to tell them. I came from a huge family, my mom dad 4 sisters and 2 brothers. I sat my whole family down and told them the story there immediate reaction was shocked they didnt know how i could get myself in this situation but after a couple of months they became completely supportive. On May 6,2011 i gave birth to my two beautiful girls, Sophia Jade and Alina Skye. They are my life and me and Cole no longer speak but he is around for them and i have to say one of the best dads ever. I am hoping we can work our relationship out because i want our family to be together :(
