Bumpy Road

I met my first boyfriend when i was 15. we instantly clicked and have been dating ever since. we moved slow with out sexual relations as we were both virgins. but on the night of my sixteenth birthday i gave it up to him. i thought it was the right thing to do because we loved each other. two months later i found out i was pregnant. i cried for hours until i threw up. i was so scared. i was not the kind of girl this happened to, i took a year off of school my junior year to be homeschooled and work during the day to save up for a nursing program at a good college. i was a good student and my boyfriend was too. i am white and he is black so my dad had trouble accepting it at first but i live with my mom. it was so hard telling my boyfriend and my mom. then his parents. then i had to tell the rest of my family.

when i was about 5 months pregnant i found out more crazy news. i was having twin girls. fraternal. i was excited and scared. at work at the restarautn i worked at i got dirty looks from the couples. i was growing so huge, and i had so much support from friends and family. i always knew my first daughter would be Bryleigh Shantel, the middle name for my mom. So my boyfriend suggested the other baby be Brielle Lydia. Lydia being his moms name.

my pregnancy got dangerous as i fell really ill in my 8th month. thehy didnt expect my to go to my due date which was christmas eve, because i was so young and having twins and all. but i woke up christmas eve morning surrounded in fluid, my water broke. i called my mom freaking out, and she called my boyfriend. my boyfriends mom, my mom and my boyfriend all rushed to the hospital with me and began the labor process. On december 24th, 2009 my daughters Bryleigh Shantel and Brielle Lydia were born 3 minutes apart via emergency c section. it was the most painful amazing experience ever. when i saw my two beautiful daughters i knew my life would never be the same. i spent chrsitmas morning in the hospital scared shitless. everyone came with presents for me and the babies and i cried all day. the girls were both a healthy 5 pounds 8 ounces and 6 pounds 3 ounces, so we all went home about four days later.

raising them has not been easy, i still homeschool now that i am a senior and i work less because i have to have my grandmother babysit the girls. they both walk and talk now, almost one. Brielle is a total daddys girl and she says dada and i love you. my boyfriend is an amazing father, but we are still teens. he has school and its not easy. by ANY means. Bryleigh had complications due to a high fever at only 4 weeks and i was so scared i was gonna lose my babygirl. she was in the hospital for 5 days, the longest week of my life. they are both great now, but it has been a long road tomake it here. every night i go to bed after bathing, feeding, changing and reading to the girls. and i wake up to them crying early every morning. i wouldnt trade it for anything but if i could go back i would have been smarter about it. i plan to marry my boyfriend when we are out of college, and i don;t want anymore kids until then. i hope that young girls today learn from all of these stories that they may be in love and it may feel good but if you are gonna do it, do it smart. because having a kid is a joy, but very hard.
having twins has also made half my family disown me, but that is the sacrafice i made for MY family and my children.

mum im pregnant

“Mum I’m pregnant”, they were the exact words that made me realise everything was real. I was six months pregnant at the age of only sixteen. I remember looking down at the pregnancy stick and laughing in hysterics finding it too hard to grip reality and face the fact that I was indeed pregnant. After a day or two after i was 100% sure i was going to have this baby, i couldn’t ever find it in my heart to adopt or even consider abortation, so i scheduled a doctor s appointment for an ultrasound. My partner Rivah whom is the father has always been so supportive and loving of my decisions and was over the moon about being a daddy he was seventeen at the time but didn’t have a worry in the world. We walked in and i was so nervous i couldn’t believe i was actually about to see my baby a living thing that i created. My doctor splurted on the gel and i remember thinking and worrying please have a heartbeat, please be ok. Then she said wait a minute in a concerned voice and i felt sick and started to tear so fearful of the words i wasn’t able to handle at this point in my life. She kept looking at me in a mysterious way then glared at me and smiled and said “Miss Watt you are having twins!
Oh my god!! Are u serious I bursted out into hysterics i couldn’t even breath i just didn’t know what to think. I was shocked but relieved and confused i just had so much stuff going through my mind. Rivah grabbed me and held me and took a deep breath then teared he was so happy. We both accepted and were excited. I rang my mum who had already come to terms with me being pregnant and was so happy for me “mum I’m having twins”!! She couldn’t believe it we both were so happy and i felt so special to be blessed with such a gift at such a young age.
Months went by and everything was going smooth except the fact i had the worst morning sickness ever i couldn’t eat, sleep or speak i was just terribly ill. Around seven months I had some weird feeling but i didn’t think anything of but Rivah knew I was irritated and we had been told that if we were uncertain about anything to go straight to hospital because twins can arrive months earlier. So i went to my local hospital. They told me i was going into premature labour and they didn’t cater to what i needed so i got sent to King Edwards hospital in Perth WA. I was flown up immediately and I don’t remember much of what happened their because I was on so many different drugs but they did stop my contractions and i ended up getting sent home at 31 weeks.
When i got home i felt so big and i didn’t do anything but watch TV all day, until about 36 weeks when they decided to schedule a planed caesarean. From the start i always wanted a c-section because i heard way to much horror stories about natural births and both my twins were in the wrong position and it didn’t look like they d be moving. So with the caesarean date coming up soon i was excited and anxious but most of all relieved so i could walk and socialise again and finally meet my babies. But a week before the date my water broke and they insisted i have it soon and at 37 weeks i thought that was acceptable. Two day before my date i had horrific contractions and i realised that this was it, my whole life flashed before my eyes and i realised that this was my new chapter and I was so scared I was shaking like i was about to jump off a cliff. We arrived at hospital and we were told that I was in labour, and in only a matter of hours we would be holding our newborn babies. Rivah was told to put on a suit for the operating theatre we kissed just before i was wheeled in and I felt safe, I felt really good when they gave me and epidural. I just went numb and relaxed. I could feel them cutting me but it didn’t hurt, it felt weird it sort of tickled. They reached inside of me to get my first born who was a beautiful boy and the second whom was also a boy. I remember seeing them i can’t describe the way it felt it was like opening presents on Christmas morning with my brother and mum and dad nothing can replace it. All that excitement was so exhilarating . Before i knew i was holding my first son Allikae’ Michael Coyne and tears streamed down my face i never could get people crying in happiness but now I truly do its amazing and so Joyce. Then when i held my second son Desean Kruz Coyne it was overwhelming i couldn’t believe these 2 beautiful babies were all mine, and that they need me they idolise me they truly love me for me, I am their mother. I’m 17 now 18 in a couple of months and I’m so proud to be the mother of the cutest babies in the world there s days where are struggle but I know for sure there worth it the journey they took me on saved my life and made me the young women I am today the saddest thing about being a young mum is the judgement and the horrible insecurities I feel whilst walking down the street with a twin pram i just wish the world could see these beautiful boys from my eyes.

Pregnant With Twins and Only 16

I'm 16 and 7 months pregnant with twins. The day I found out I was pregnant I bawled my eyes out, but I'm now okay with the fact that im gonna be a mother! I'm quite excited actually. My older sister is also pregnant and is due only a week after me with twins aswell. Both my parents and my boyfriend have been really supportive! The most challenging part about being pregnant and only 16 is attending school and having to work. If you're my age I highly reccomend waiting, I'm in a LOT of pain and Ive lost quite a few of my "friends" because they think I'm a terrible person for keeping my babies. I may only be 16, but I'm going to prove to everyone that I really am responsible enough to take care of twin even if I may need help from my mother. I havn't even met my babies yet and there already my life. I'm due November 2nd 2010 and can't wait to meet my babies.

17 With twin 1 year olds

July 31st 2010 Is My Seventeenth Birthday Yet The Day thats Even More important to Me is August 2nd, the first birthday of my Twins Attumn Alyse and Tanner Micheal. I remember the night i found out i was pregnant, December 20th 2008, I wasn't feeling right and i hadn't gotten my period so, sitting in my parents bathroom, i read that little pink plus sign and nearly fainted. I was nervous and scared but i also knew i wasn't alone. My boyfriend dave, and I had been together since middle school and i called him balling my eyes out and he told me he was going to be there for me no matter what. On christmas eve, my boyfriend and i sat my mom down and told her the news. At first she was dissapointed but she soon came to terms with it and was really helpfull. After the first of the year my mom made an appiontment and they told me i was around 10 weeks pregnant, so they did an ultrasound and we all got the biggest shock, i wasn't pregnant with one baby but two! Finally i sat my dad down and told him his little girl was having twins and he completly flipped out. My dad didn't talk to me for the first few months of my pregnancy but one afternoon i got a phone call of him crying telling me he was so sorry that he wasn't there for me like he should of been, and that weekend i went and stayed with him and thats when he got to feel his grandbabys kick for the first time, it brought tears to both our eyes. In march i found out i was having a boy and a girl and was really excited. the shock of being so young was wearing off and now i was just trying to find my way. As for school, i was still attending regulary and i was also taking some online classes to make up for the time i was going to be on maternity leave. In may my boyfriend and i moved into our first apartment, i was working as a waitress and he was doing landscaping, we were making decent money and had enough to afford a 2 bedroom. We converted the living room into a master bedroom so each of our kids would have there own room. I did tanners room in john deere theme and i did attumns in pink camo, it was so cute and i spent my days cooking and cleaning. This all took a toll on my emotions and i soon felt lonely and wanted my teenage years back. when ever i felt like that i would just peek into each nursery, pick up little oneseys and tiny little socks and remind my self that i was a mom now, no time to mope. On july 31st, my Sweetsixteen, we planned a birthday/babyshower and as i was opening the gifts i found one tiny one wapped in silver paper, there was no tag or card laughing i held it up and asked who it was from, dave raised his hand. I opened it and found a small ringbox which held a very beautiful diamond ring. I burst into tears as he got down on one knee and asked me to marry him. wipping my eyes i pulled him up and said yes. i was so happy and excited that i could barely contain my self. I was passed my due date by that time (July 28th) and i just wanted the babies here. On the night of august 1st, i started having really bad contractions and dave and i rushed to the hospital. On August 2nd, 2009 At 7:14 in the morning Attumn Alyse was born 7 pounds 8 ounces, and at 7:16 Tanner Micheal 8pounds 1 ounce followed with a great cry. I had never been more proud the at the moment they placed my kids in my arms. Attumn and Tanner had full heads of Red hair and i saw tears in daves eyes. I can remember everything about that day, the way it felt to have those precious eyes looking up at me. all my doubts about having my twins were gone just like that; those kids already had my heart for ever. As i'm sitting here on July 17th, 2010 i'm watching them play on the floor next to me and i thank my blessing everyday. the past year has not been an easy one and my advice to other teens is to wait. You have alot to give up with kids and, i don't regret it, but i'm alot better off then most sitations. My own place, A supportive fiance' who loves me just as much as before the babies and a job that pays well enough to give my kids there all. Not many teens can provide that. The kids have just started talking and the one thing they can say is "i love you" becasue each and every day i say it to not only them but to dave also. Good luck to any new moms who are scared: relax you'll do just fine :)
