16 and Pregnant
Hello, my name is amy, I'm 16 and just found out i was pregnant 4 days ago.
I'm very scared and so is my bf. We actually weren't dating when i got prego, We just hung out & had sex nothing serious.
But then i didn't get my period.. i had had many scares but nothing ever came of them . i thought maybe i couldn't have kids or something.. But then i was late 10 days on my period, i told Evan (the father), And he suggested we get a prego test. I thought it was another scare and i hadn't gotten my period cause of stress or something
I'd Do Anything To Take It Back
It's been a month and 10 days since I aborted my baby, and my family would say how strong they thought I was and how well I was coping - I was fine! I'd think about it and sometimes get a little teary but I thought I would be okay. but I realize now I've made the biggest mistake of my life.Me and my boyfriend found out in October that I was pregnant, and we were scared but so excited. We were making plans about how things would be, how we were gonna be parents. Ofcourse we had our slight doubts, but then he changed. He talked of how we needed to live our lives, have fun while we're young, have money and do what we want!
You Can Conquer
I was 22 when I found out I was pregnant. I was an alcoholic and drug abuser, I was getting evicted from my residents, and wasn't even sure who the father of my child was. Both guys where also drug addicts and alcoholic's. My future for my child and I looked very dim. I just knew I could not give my child up in abortion or adoption I just knew that this was the situation I was in and I needed to do all I could to provide for this innocent life that grew inside of me. I moved in with my mom and 9 months later out came Antonio Lee a healthy 7Ib 8oz bundle of joy. I did figure out who the father was and while I was still pregnant he went to a rehab and got help.
Seven Years Ago
About seven years ago i came across your site on the internet. I was 19 at the time and i had just found out i was pregnant. My boyfriend and father of my baby ended up leaving while i was six months pregnant and still doesn't want contact with our son. I was young fun loving loved to go out and party a little wild and just starting college. I was working part time as a personal assistant and looking to go overseas and travel. The future looked bright for me to everyone we knew until i fell pregnant. In the beginning i'd considered everything - having the baby, abortion and adoption. I kept an open mind and my doctor said to me that if i made a decision to make an informed decision that was right for me.
Invisible Mother
I'm not one to get excited by forwarded e-mail. But this one came from a dear friend, so I read it. And right off the bat, I was hooked. I don't know who originally wrote this, but her words are timeless and true. And so I share them with you, the Stand Up Moms.
*Invisible Mother*.....
It all began to make sense, the blank stares, the lack of response, the way one of the kids will walk into the room while I'm on the phone and ask to be taken to the store. Inside I'm thinking, 'Can't you see I'm on the phone?'
"I loved you before I even knew you..."
