Here's some advice: never trust a guy who
gets you pregnant at 15 yrs old.

Poor thing
u know ur life is never gonna be the same
as before now. U have a new life, a
little life is inside of you and growing
everyday. It is a beautiful thing!
So now, be possitive! U know that
everything will be all right!
It's perfectly fine to be a single mom
nowadays, talk to your boyfriend to
compromise. Tell him that pregnancy makes
a woman emotional, tell him to just be
patient and listen to you more, talk more,
because if he loves you, he will try to
make things better and at least easier.
True that u two are so young, most likely
he does not know a thing about being a dad
or even a boyfriend, but he will learn if
he wants to.
If he does not want to work with u to make
things better, honey, dump him!
Seriously it is ok to be a single mom, and
u said it urself, u have ur friends and
family, ur mom is being so supportive
which is a great thing, be grateful, tell
her how much u love her.
Good luck to you, and just relax, worry
too much is not good for you and the baby.

Hey you'll get through it and when you
finally do you'll look into your babies
eyes and realize that you made the right
choice, hang in there I did and it's the
best feeling in the world when I sit down
and play with my son.
Concerning the boyfriend he'll come
around.

I can empathize with you as I was pregnant
unexpectedly when I was young. I am now
also seven weeks pregnant with my fourth
baby. I kept my first daughter and she is
a wonderful help with my two young
daughters. I would like to suggest that
you find someone who has a young baby and
spend some time babysitting to see if you
are ready to handle parenting. There are
a lot of joys that children bring but they
also demand a lot more than someone your
age is probably ready to give. I know
that I am still more impatient with my
oldest than my young girls. If you aren't
really sure that you are ready to give up
life as you know it forever then I would
suggest that you look into giving your
baby up for adoption. There are so many
women out there who cannot have their own
baby and many agencies now will let you
interview and pick your baby's parents.
Many girls say they couldn't hold a baby
then give it away but it takes a lot more
courage to do just that than to have a
baby and neglect it. Many women who have
open adoptions can set up an agreement to
receive pictures and updates on the baby
and can make a journal/photo album for the
child to have letters/pictures of you and
your family members. It is a tough
decision to make and i'm not saying that
you definitely wouldn't be a good mom but
I would hope that you don't just blow off
my opinion. One last piece of advice:
don't hold your breath that your boyfriend
will stick around...He might be forced to
pay child support but that doesn't mean he
has to spend any time with his child. I
don't mean to be negative but sixteen year
old boys aren't known for their reliablity
and responsiblity. Take great care of
yourself, eat well, stay away from bad
stuff and don't forget to exercise=it will
make labor much easier on you. Good luck,
karen

I Am a Teen Mother Too.. Posted: 08-14-03 14:41pm
I am a 16 year old girl who has a 4 month
old son. Well he is almost 4 months. I
know exactly what you mean and what you
are going through. I read what you had to
say and I feel like I was reading the
story of my life. I got pregnant on july
17, 2002 (that is what the doctors paper
said!)...Anyway I have been with my
boyfriend, larry for 4 years. When I told
him I was pregnant he was all for it.
Both of us are strong believers that
abortion is wrong. I am not saying that
you would have a been a bad person if you
considered it though.Anyway, me and my
boyfriend fought a lot. My mom kicked me
out. We never really got along anyway
though. Anyhow , now that I have had my
son I am still moody a little bit because
of my weight and because I lost my body
but that is about it. When you see your
son or daughter that all this crap that
you are going through now will come
around. And I hope for your sake your
boyfriend comes around too. If you have a
son or a daughter it would be nice for
them to know there father. But promise
me, if the father doesn't come around, do
not turn the child against there father!
That is wrong my mother did that to me and
that made me hate her everymore. "two
wrong dont make a right.." remember
that!
You know you love me-
stacie

that's a pretty darn good advice there
stacie.
Confused: really, guys that age really
cannot be trusted 9 out of 10! Even my
boyfriend is 21, a supposedly grown man,
no, cannot be trusted yet!
He seemed sweet when u told him ur
feelings? Well of course he does, any guy
would or they are just plain jacka55es!!!
Haha, but sweet talks cant be trusted
either, action says more than words, just
remember that we are all here for you, and
anytime u have more news and wanna share,

:d I am glad that your second message
seemed a little more optimistic. I
suppose you have decided to keep the baby,
that is a brave , and selfless thing to
do. I know your mother is proud of you.
I hope that you are eating right, I know
that some people dont really think all the
prenatel care is that important but you
haven't seen a problem yet if you have to
face an unhealthy baby. This little life
is depending on you. As for the
boyfriend, he is young but that doesnt
mean he is a different breed. Just like
this is confusing for you, it is even more
confusing for him be patient but dont let
him disrespect you, as long as you can
both be as supportive to each other as
possiable and let your families help you
with the good lord as your savior you can
accomplish all of this, congratulations on
your new bundle of joy!

Hey There Posted: 08-25-03 16:58pm
there is nothing
wrong with beening pregnant , but just
remember that it will change your life for
ever. I was 23 when I had my first
daughter and I thought that the was young
and I had no father for my daughter so I
thought that the right thing to do was
find someone and marry them for my
daughter sake, but I was only married 1
yaer and 6months I couldn't handle it .
Now i'm 26 pregnant with my son and I a
with a man that loves me and I love him
and he loves my daughter just like she was
his own. So make the right choice. I
made an abortion choice once with my
husband child and there was nothing wrong
with my choice so you still have time so
that you can had your teenaged years and
have fun. I hope that I could help you
a bit. Just remember whatever choice you
make it is your choice. Good luck

Yes you r too yung to have a baby and u
wish everything b back to normal , but
honey this is sorry to say too late ! You
should have thought bout that before u did
what u did. Butt enough ! U are jung and
your mom is there even if your stupid
boyfriend can't make up hes mind I do
think that u can do this , this days you
get all kinds of help even from the state.
The bad side is that you will not enjoy
going out too much or at all and you prob.
Need a part time job and school is there
tooo...... But u know what? A lot of
jung women can do this and hey the brite
side of this is you are 15, 16, your child
will make you smile belive that there's
not only bad things , of course it is a
loooooot of rspblts.

Hi Posted: 09-02-03 17:40pm
Hello, well im not that young as you. But
I know how it is to become pregnant when u
less expect it. Im 26 and im 3 weeks from
my due date. But trust me never in my
mind did the option of abortion cross my
mind. The baby's father left me when I
was little more then 2 months pregant, and
I had to deal with the pain of that and
stress of my family. But I knew I could
make it with him or with out him, that
this baby was going to be my world. The
baby isn't born yet, but im very excited.
I have met a wonderful man who loves me
and this baby like it was his own. Things
happen in our lives we can not help. But
there is always a reason why they happen.
Follow your heart no matter how dark some
days get, there is always sunshine in the
end.
Take care!

Hey I know a girl who had a baby at 15 and
her boyfriend is 18 and he is my
ex........ But anyway, u have a life in
you and it is the best feeling in the
world when you first start to feel it move
and kick, and it is really great when you
hear it and see it for the first time...
Trust me when you see this baby for the
first time you will completly fall in love
with it... When you find out what you are
having let me know ok....
I was 16 and in my last year of high
school when I found out that I was
pregnant with my son. My boyfriend (and
the father of my child) left me before he
knew that I was pregnant. He wasn't
there my whole pregnancy but he came back
after I had our son. It's now been a
year since i've had my son and boy is he a
lot of work. My boyfriend is still with
me and he proposed to me. So if ever
need anyone to talk to i'm hear to listen.

a Father's View Posted: 09-16-03 12:18pm
Please don't consider an abortion. My
wife and I had a child before we were
married. She was 18 and I was 19. At the
time we were not sure what to do. Both
sets of parents volunteered to take
custody of the child until we finished
college. Unfortunately, her parents
couldn't afford to do that and my mother
suffers from multiple sclerosis so it just
wouldn't work. We decided that the best
option for our child was to find a caring
and loving adoptive couple. We went
through a process called an open adoption.
We chose the couple based on interviews.
As part of the adoptive agreement, we
receive pictures on a yearly basis and our
son will be informed as how to contact us
when he turns 18.
I must be honest in saying that the
decision was the most difficult either one
of us has ever made. But it was also, in
my opinion, the most selfless thing we
have ever done. We both wanted to keep
him, but we weren't prepared to give him
the opportunity he deserves. The point to
my telling you this is to let you know
that there are options much better than
abortion. Abortion is the "easy way" out
now, but I have never met a woman who had
an abortion that does not regret her
decision. If you want more information on
adoption, please feel free to contact me.
If you decide to keep the child, I would
be more than happy to lend verbal support.
I wish you the best of luck and will pray
for you in this difficult time.

First off I am glad things are doing
better for you. I was in the same
position as you are 7 years ago. My guy
stuck around till my daughter was 2 then
we decided to split up. 2 years later I
met the man I am married to now and once
again got pregnant again the first time we
slept together we got married 3 months
later and are still together he was just
19 at the time and is a wonderful husband
and father. If you guys really work at it
you can make it work. Several of my
friends are still with their babies
fathers and they had children at 16 and 17
too. If you want something bad enough you
can make it happen. No ones life is
easy.We just make the best of it.You are
never alone no matter what. Enjoy life.

Hey there. What you are doing is a very
brave thing. It is harder to face your
oops than to run away from them. You have
a right to be very emotional. Lean on
your mother for support. She understands
the emotional roller coaster you are on,
after all she gave birth to you, right?
As for your boyfriend, I know that you
would rather have him on your side. It
sure would be a big help. But know one
thing, before you get in a huge fight with
him about your relationship. Remember you
have a little person growing inside you
that needs you to stay clear of stressful
situations. Or at least as far away from
them as you can. I guess what I am trying
to say is take care of you and that baby
first, then ask him to take a part in it.
If he chooses not to, well honey, that is
something that he will soon regret
himself. But you need to be healthy
mentally and physically. Take care. You
might want to talk to your doctor or
counciler about joining, or just attending
some kind of support group. You wouldn't
believe how many people are out there that
are in your situation. If oyu need to
chat send an email. Good luck.
