How can you tell? The onset and degree of pregnancy symptoms will vary within women. Many women experience them within days of conception, others take a few weeks before pregnancy symptoms kick in and a lucky few feel no discomfort at all.The early pregnancy symptoms listed here generally can be felt once impla...

Here I was 20 years old with 3 children no education, no guidance, not one
person to truly help me. To make a very long story short. I knew I had to do
better for my children.
I honestly feel that I just need to write everything I've been through
these past 9 months. I know I've been going through all the other girls' blogs,
reading them, taking it in, I can only hope someone will stop and read my story,
just so they know they're not alone.
If you are not able to care for the baby and give it a good home---adoption is the best alternative. At least you will know in your heart that your baby is in a good place. I have a friend that opted to give her child away at 16 (in secret). After 25 years, her son sought her out and met his 3 siblings. She said the hole in her heart has been mended. I will never get that chance. I can only hope that I will be forgiven.
On the 18th of August I found out that I was 4-5 weeks pregnant. The father of my baby, was my best friend and was already in a relationship with another girl, who is also pregnant and due in September. After we found out, I immediately told my parents...
My boyfriend went out of the room to get coffee and the doctor come in and shut the door and told me that I was pregnant. I was speechless. I did not know what to think. We had only been together a couple of months and I was pregnant. I thought for sure he was going to leave and I was never going to see him again and the baby wasn't either. I knew I was keeping it either way. The baby was a part of me and it was mine.
I told him when we got in the parking lot and I started walking away and he said Kristal stop. And I said, what?
I was only 18 with a babe in the arms and one on the way. The nurse told me I was selfish to keep your older brother just a few years earlier. She said, I was just 15 - to young to be a mother. At 18 there again, with you, I was pregnant with another. Planned Parenthood had told me I was a burden on society that I was the kind to drain the system clean, a parasite, if you know what I mean.
So, it is time to tell your parents you are pregnant. How will you tell them? Will they support you, or will your fears of rejection come true? Here, one mom tells how she felt through her daughter's pregnancy, and offers hope for making it through the challenges in your own story.
