One Day at a Time

Dear Becky-

I'm so confused and don't know what to do. I think I'm a month pregnant as I have been experiencing a lot of symptoms. I haven't told my boyfriend, as we are experiencing major problems and he is with another woman. I'm not ready to be a parent as I'm 19 and in college, but I do believe that kids are a great gift and love them, but actually I don't how to tell him and my parents. He is with another woman, but I don't want him to choose me because of the baby.

I Know How You Feel

Hi, I know exactly how you feel. I was 31 when i became pregnant. It wasn't planned as I had been saving myself for my husband, but that person was not to be my husband & I have a beautiful baby girl.  This pregnancy was through rape..this hurt me so so much at the time, I was told to take the morning after pill. Being pro life I knew that would kill my baby if there was to be a life there.

The person I trusted, just broke my life in two. He was not sorry & to this day he isn't even aware that he did wrong.

The Invisible House

Kermit B. Gosnell, M.D. ran an abortion clinic called the Women’s Medical Society in the middle of Philadelphia, PA for over 30 years.  He is currently on trial for murder in the deaths of a female patient and seven babies born alive.  The grand jury report describes his clinic as a “house of horrors.”
The lives of the women who came to Gosnell’s clinic were in danger.  The grand jury report listed several disturbing cases, including one woman who was left alone on an operating table for hours after Gosnell tore her cervix and colon while trying, unsuccessfully, to extract the fetus.  Gosnell sent another patient home with fetal pieces still insider her, insisting she was fine even after signs of serious infection set in over the next several days. By the time her mother got her to the emergency room, she was unconscious and near death. 

Desperate to Talk

Dear Becky, I have never done this sort of thing before, but sometimes I am desperate to talk to someone. I'll start off with the basics. I am 20, and I found out I was pregnant around last October (I came off the pill earlier in the year because I was worried about not having any periods - so we were careful, but obviously not careful enough). I've always wanted children, especially since I come from a big family, so in a way I was happy but still scared as this was still an unplanned pregnancy. My boyfriend, who I am still together with, never lost his cool with me or shouted at me and to this day I love him unconditionally for it. However, this didn't change the fact that I knew he was scared and worried about it. He never told me to have an abortion or adoption, and I also knew he wouldn't leave me no matter my choice. So far my decision was to have my baby.......

I'm 19, not Married! Help!

Dear Becky-

I just found out that I am pregnant. I'm 19, not married, and on top of that I just got a position at school that I worked really hard for. I made a big mistake and I feel by being pregnant I'm letting the whole school down. I keep debating on keeping the baby or aborting. Most everyone I talk to wants me to abort. Please help me.

Thanks, Karen

So far so good?? i think

  Well I'm sure you guys know me by now. But if you don't, my name is Vanessa. I have a lot of problems,  but not with my pregnancy. I've been having a lot of stress lately & I know that's a bad thing for my baby, but I just cant help but cry & cry about my mom. Being the only female child in a family with 4 kids is somewhat tough for me. Is being emotional part of being pregnant? I'm really close to my mom & when she's away its really hard for me. Especially now when I'm pregnant. I can talk to her about almost everything.i In fact I do tell her everything. I miss her a lot &I cry when I do miss her. I fight with her husband a lot [my step dad] well its not really my fault either but still.
Oh but I do want to write about my boyfriend.lol. We're living together at my place. He's basically the one to take care of me & I'm so thankful for him .He's been so supportive .I'm glad I found him & he's really excited to be a daddy. But with the good there are bad's. I fight with him, not a lot, but like couples do. I don't know how to control my feelings, if I hear something I  don't like I would start balling my eyes out . And thats' why he gets mad at me, I know he loves me & that's why we argue,because he's right. *sigh* I need some advice on how not to be sooooo emotional. If that is possible.
