nervous

Hi , my names M . I am 16 years old & currently 38 weeks and 2 days pregnant . I am due July29th , in less then 2 weeks and i am as nervous as i have ever been in my entire life. I am unsure weather to have a natural birth or drugs , to me it depends on how im feeling in labour . I am with my boyfriend K ( age 17 ) of almost 2 years. When i first got pregnant he was happy , still is but doesnt show it much . Doesn't talk about it much either which bugs the crap out of me .. Is this normal for all boyfriends & fathers to be ? because it kinda of makes me sad. Im 38 weeks and im not huge . i look about 7 months pregnant and im not the skinniest . I walk everyday mostly to get from place to place. But ive gained 25 pounds , you cant tell tho. IS that also normal ? Im not having any swelling anywhere . Is this normal ? i wonder... Im just round in the stomach .

Almost there

Hi girls! I'm Katie and this is my story. I first got pregnant when i was 16. I couldnt believe it, because me and my boyfriend at the time, only had sex once! No lie. But once is all it takes because 4 weeks after we did "it", i took a pregnancie test that my sister picked up for me, and it was positive. When i called my boyfriend to tell him the news, he said he was excited and happy about it. I kept thinking how lucky i was to be having a baby with such a reat guy.

But reality kicked in when i told my parents. My mom and dad are divorced, but we all live iwthen 30 minutes of each other. My boyfriend was 16 too and my mom kept telling me how realtionships don't last when your a teenager, ecspally when kids have kids. I learned she was right because two weeks after i learned i was having a boy, my boyfriend left me. I was heart broken but after that, i realized i didnt want to have a baby when i was 17, and i didnt want to have to take care of a kid my senior year of high school. Pretty soon after that i found my adoptive parents to raise my son, and to be the mother and father he would need.

The summer before my senior year, when i was 17, i gave birth to Blake Kord on july 23rd. I saw my son once, but i never held him. It was my choice to have a closed adoption and not hold my son, because i felt it would make it harder on me.

I am 26 and i am execting my first child, not my first baby, but my first child. I got married to me husband Derek on May 27th, when i was 22 and he was 23. We are the happiest couple i know. I found out i was pregnant two weeks after my 26th birthday, and we could not have been happier. I am now 35 weeks along and i am counting down until the day i get to see my daughter Kalia Mia. I know that at 17 i couldnt have been the best mother, and i probally wouldnt have graduated from high school, and i would have been able to go to college and get my masters degree and i would have never met my husband and i would not be expecting Kalia. So i never regret giving up Blake, because i know there is a very happy nine year old out there with his perfect parents. Soon i will be the best mom to my daughter.

So goodluck to all you expecting mothers. xoxo

finally

Hello girls, im Debra and i am about 37 weeks pregnant with twins! Im 38 and i had been trying to get pregnant since i was 33. I got married at 27, but niether my husband, nor i, were ready to start a family. But as time grew on i started to notice my friends and their family's and even random strangers children, i felt jelouse of. So when i finally had THE conversation with my husband, we tried to get pregnant. For 2 years we tried and nothing. Then when i was 36 when i got my first treatment of Depo Provera shots, and needless to day they worked!

I am now expecting my twin's Brianna Adrey and Bentley Andrew to be born July 21st via C-section. Not may 38 year olds can say that. I am so thankful that i got the chance to be a mom. Best of luck to all of you other woman trying to get pregnant, and to the ones who have children, young or old. Goodluck.

Debra

mistake or the best thing ever

people said i was stupid for getting pregnant so young (im 17) and i am enclined to believe them not because i regret the pregnancy but my reasons! my boyfriend justin was going to leave me, he kept telling me i could give him nothing so staying together was no use, so i stopped taking the pill and it worked, i got pregnant the time before he left me,i took a test about a week after he left me and it came back positive. my mom and dad went crazy with me and my friends thought i was insane but they didn't matter because when i told justin i was pregnant he was overjoyed, i cant even believe it worked! im now 10 weeks and doing great, its a modle pregnancy, ive had very few side afects, i only got morning sickness for about a week and ive had non of the other side afects.
you to might think im mad but its given me my perfect forever, lets just hope it lasts!

The Scare

So a week ago I had just started work feeling great and fine. Then all of a sudden I was burning up and feeling like I was going to pass out. I found out that my blood pressure was high. I felt like I was going to be sick I had to go for tests and found out I had and Infection and on top of that I was stressed from the long hours at work.Before all this I was going for ultrasounds left and right because my doctor at first thought my little boy had cysts on his brain and liquid in his kidneys.Come to find out the cysts went away at 22 weeks and the liquid was urine. So this has been a kinda stressful first pregnancy.
