Got pregnant @ 19

I found out I was pregnant wen I was 19. My boyfriend and I were very careful but Bhaam, a baby. I wasn't much stresses 4 me but was worried about my parents. My boyfriend was supportive. I didn't know how to tell my parents until the 4th month. My mom was anrgy as hell, but now she is the most supportive, caring, understanding person I've ever seen. She loves my unborn child so much she can't wait 2 be granny. Im due 11 Jan 2010 and can't wait.

33 weeks and counting

My name is Ashleyy. I'm 18 years old and I'm 8 months,1 week, and 3 days pregnant with my first child and its going to be a little boy.We are going to name him Tyler Adam. For the most part my pregnancy has been ok,but everyone keeps telling me that this last month or so is the worst part.I have a 23 year old wonderful fiance named Brent who has been there for us 100%. He is also so excited. For the first four months I was soooo sick with morning sickness, but thank goodness that it passed. Now I just can't wait for my little man to be here so I can finnaly see his little face.It seems like I have been pregnant forever.I can't even remember what it feels like to be normal.I know I have to be driving my fiance bonkers with all my emotions and mood swings, but I keep reasuring him that things will get better and he will have his level headed girlfriend back lol.I am having my baby shower this sunday.I have felt little cramps here and there but nothing to be alarmed about.I'm actually really scared to go in to labor,only because I don't know what to expect. I guess the only thing that matters is its all going to be worth it in the end, or that's what everyone keeps telling me. Little Tyler is due January 3rd 2010. Wish me luck! <3

Third Trimester cut short

In my third Trimester I was enjoying fully my pregnancy. My husband was working during the day and at night was studying for his College Degree. I was left alone and had the chore of the House to do. Lifting my groceries and cutting the grass...I actually ended up giving birth at 34 weeks. Our son was fine thank god, but I was feeling a bit down. I missed my big belly and I tought it was my fault of our son's premature birth. I should have taken it easy maybe?
Now November 2009, we're trying for the past five month to conceive our second child.I am a bit down as I will like for my Son to be a big brother soon. If God can bless me with an other baby.But I am also scared to give birth again to a premature baby.I just wished if I am pregnant again this time I can go to my nine month.

Starting early

Im one of the many girls that get pregnant while still in high school. Its been really hard to deal with,especially living in such a small town and being judged by so many. But i am so ready to have this baby. He is truely a blessing to me an my family. I am one of the more fortunate girls,who still have the daddy in the picture. He is my long term boyfriend.He is 21 and im 15. my parents arent very fond of this but they have learned to deal with it because he has been so great during my pregnancy. He has been to every appointment. He buys our baby things. He rubs my back and feet and talks to my belly. And no matter how swollen my face is or how grumpy i am, he tells me that im beautiful. I have lost several things the past 8 months,friends,varsity volleyball,respect people had for me,and so much more. But at the same time ive gained so much. I still had big dreams and alot of ambition..I am due on December 13th 2009 and i am going to take my 6 weeks homebound, and return to school as soon as my doctor approves. I WILL graduate. and i do have future plans. It was a very rough start..but everything gets soo much better with time. Its a vey scary thing for me to go through so soon because i was i kid myself..But when something like this happens, you just have to turn to god for all of your answers. Ive learned that God will never put you through more than you can handle. And this is my story.. I hope that if any of you women ever have an experience of a pregnant teen, that you just bare with them and make the very best of everything. Grounding them,taking their phone,etc. Wont do a thing but make it worse, She'll still be pregnant. But i am now 33 weeks along and totally ready to meet my baby boy :)

Pregnancy

We are in our final stretch of pregnancy, today is September 16 and our due date is Sept 20. This is my first pregnancy so everything comes as a suprise. In this last trimester I have continued to work up until yesterday. I have noticed that I feel similar to how I felt the first trimester. I can't eat as much, I get fuller faster and I am extremely fatigued. My belly has grown to its capacity, I have no idea how much more it can stretch. I am so excited and anxious to see our little girl but this pregnancy has been an interesting journey.
