Pregnancy

Hey lilmama!
I am 24 yesterday and I wasn't pregnant at
16 or 17 or anything like that, but I did
get pregnant at 20 and had my daughter a
month before my 21st b-day. I love the
name you chose by the way! It is a very
strong name! Anyhow, being a mom is
tough, but I will tell you that staying
strong minded about what a good mother you
will be is a way to get through it. Keep
your faith in god and he will teach you
the paths to take to make a beautiful life
for your little man. My daughter is 3 and
her father and I are together, but we
fight a lot and he is so young acting. He
is 25, but he doesn't act it. He would
rather kick it with his friends and play
video games than help me when I really
need it. We have been together for 6
years and I love him, but he doesn't get
that it is time to grow up a little and
make being a father his very first
priority. I am not sure what your
situation is with the daddy of this little
man you are carrying, but if it is not the
best then let it go for now. Your baby is
the most important thing right now and you
cannot afford to be stressed over
anything. I stressed a lot during my
pregnancy.
I hope anything or everything I wrote
helped in some form. Keep strong girl and
look to god when you feel like you won't
or can't make it! I have learned that I
was put here for a reason and this is my
journey and my world so I am gonna butter
my toast with the best flavor and eat
every last bite! I will say some prayers
for you! Good luck!

I'm really scared, I know i'm not the only
one. I really need someone to tell me
their experience with their parents. I
haven't told my and i'm not going to for a
little while, I have to come to terms with
it myself first. I have a doctors appt
tomorrow, i'm praying that the 2 positive
tests were just god's way of telling me
and my fiance that we need to wait, I know
we do.... But, but... I have no excuse.
I'm so scared. Please help and pray for
me -rebecca.

Becca-
first off, please don't count on the two
tests you took being wrong. I believe god
does things to show some sort of sign, but
I doubt two tests would come back
positive. I took 3 tests at home before
going to the Dr. I was a nervous wreck!
I was crying and not eating and all that
horrible stuff. I have a really good
relationship with my mother fortunately.
We are best friends. She always told me
when I was growing up that I could go to
her with absolutely anything. When I
found out I was pregnant, I was scared as
hell to go to her. Even though she told
me I could feel confident knowing she
would be there for me. I went to 2 of my
good friends first and I called her from
their house. I didn't actually tell her
the whole situation over the phone. I
told her I had something very seriuos to
tell her and I think she basically knew
what it was before we hung up. I was 20
at the time and that may sound like a
legitimate age, but 20 is still young
also. I was working full time and going
to college. I was free to do what ever
the hell I wanted and that was changing
right before my eyes. Either way, I went
home and the second I saw my mom, I began
to cry. My father passed away when I was
14 so I had only my mother. I did feel my
dad was probably looking down at me in
total dissapointment. I sat down on the
couch and just took a deep breath and told
her. She hugged me and told me we would
get through it together. I was still in a
realtionship with my boyfriend and I
thought that was a little better. Now
that my daughter is 3, he is a great
father for her, but he acts too young for
me and doesn't take our relationship
serious enough. Telling my mom was a big
stump, but I did it and I knew deep in my
heart that things were going to be okay.
Even if you think your parents are going
to scream or kick you out or whatever your
biggest fear is, just know in your heart
that you are going to do what is right for
your baby. Ask god to guide you when you
go to tell your parents. Take a deep
breath and do it. Let them know that you
plan to be responsible and that you and
your fiance will be the best parents you
could possibly be. Tell them you need
their emotional support because you love
them. I will pray for you sweetie. Life
is tough but after having this baby you
will know why god put you here!

Hey hun. I know it is a scary thing to
think of. But hold on. Everything will
turn out ok. If you are you always have
some one to talk to. I will be here for
you. And all the other mothers. Cuz they
have been here for me. I was scared to
find out and I waited 4 months and then
went and found out. It's better to find
out as soon as u think you are. Plus
hearing your baby's heart beat and then
the ultra sound is so cool. I cried when
I heard the heart beat. And everytime I
hear it I cry all over again. It's a joy
knowing that your gonna bring a new life
in the world. Yes it is a scarying thing
also. But everyone has told me not to
worry about the bad things just think of
how you are gonna be as a mother and thing
of all the wonderful things you'll have
with your baby.

I am only 14 and my whole life my mom has
told me I could come to her when I wanted
to get on birth control. Last week I went
and I told her I wanted to get on it and
she took it vary well at first and did her
best to be proud of my for being honest
but in truth I let her down. I feel like
I have totally failed my parents, is this
normal?? Help any one....

Birth Control

You are doing something good. And even
though u feel like your letting them down
they should really be proud of you. Your
protecting yourself from becoming a teen
mother. I don't know if you are having
sex or not. And that's none of my
worrie's but you'll feel better that you
talked to your mom about it when your
friends who didn't end up being a mommy
before they are ready.

Congrats on your new son erik  and I think it's a
lovely name by the way! If you would ever
like to talk i'm available. Your going to
be a wonderful mommy honey 
love
tanya
p.S. Lilmamma is right getting on birth
control is wonderful! Most 14 year olds
don't protect themselves like you do!
Your mother probably didn't expect it but
don't worry about it. You should be very
proud of yourself

I wish I would have used birth control. I
want my baby but I know it ruined my life.
So that's why I would recommend it to any
one who is young.

How dare you say something so stupid!
Erik is a beautiful name. You are
probably some young kid who thinks it is
funny to log on and write ridiculous
things! I hope everyone here ignores you
from here on out! I know I will, but this
time I neeeded to say something! Get
lost!

I think you are absolutely the most
pathetic person ever. You have nothing
better to do with your day than to get
online and try (not very successfully) to
put others down. It isn't working so why
don't you quit wasting your time and worry
more about your life than ours! I think
erik is a beautiful name, infact I was
thinking of my son having the middle name
of erik but i'm not sure yet!
I'm praying for you pat in hope that you
overcome all your anger and hatred!
Much love! And good luck to all you
expectant mothers!

Thank all of you guys who think erik is a
beautiful name. I have a really deep
meaning behind naming my son that. Erik
is the name of my bestfriend/cousin who
died last year. Michael is for another
one of my friends who was murdered. So.

Erik Is Beautiful

My best friend's name is eric, I love the
name and probably would pick that name if
it weren't my friend's name (i'm not into
confusion, "hey eric, could you go get
eric for me"). To let everyone know, i'm
definatly pregnant and i'm 3 weeks
alone... I think. My first appt is on
the 1/7/04. I can't wait to be honest.
I can't wait until they can see something
in the ultrasound. I'm 21 btw, so this
isn't quite so scarry as being 14 I
realize that. My fiance and I are going
to get married in either march or april of
this year. We were going to get married
in about 2 years but I really want to be
married when we have the baby. Matthew,
my fiance, I standing beside me through
everything, we were together when we told
our parents. My mom cried for like a day
and a half, his parents are fine. My dad
is very calm. Both our parents are still
married.

Teen Mother

Dont feel so bad about being a teen mother
because my cousin was 15 when she got
pregnant the first time and then 16 1/2
when she got pregnant again. She now
has three kids, her own apartment, a man
(the father of her daughter) who's there
for her and her two sons which are not
his. Their father is a dead beat who
would rather pay child support than to be
around for his sons.
Please count your blessings and be happy
for your baby's sake. My mom would
always tell me this when I was pregnant
with my first child. I was living at
home with her. My boyfriend was staying
with his family and had just had a
daughter a couple of months before I found
out I was pregnant. His mom and sisters
were acting as if they were in the room
with my boyfriend and I when my baby was
concieved because they just knew she wasnt
for him. They hung up in my face a lot
and when they didnt do that they would lie
and say he wasnt home. I guess they
wanted him to be with the other girl
because his mom even let her move in.
It really hurt me to be treated so badly
while I was pregnant especially because I
knew I had never done his family anything
wrong. His father who was the only
sensible one in the family didnt even know
I was pregnant because he worked off shore
and was never there.
Well I stayed strong through all that and
now my boyfriend and I have been living
together for over a year. We just
recently got our own apartment in august
and are expecting our second child
together and his third. We are happy
and his sister is still miserable and sad
and still entertaining the other
daughter's mother. I dont care, because
we just laugh at how stupid and jealous
they are. Hang in there :d
