Am I the Only One?
Posted: 02-03-04 23:19pm

Hi everybody, my name is heather. I am 18 years old also 15 weeks and 2 days pregnant. I had been seeing this guy for about 2 months and then I found out I was 6 1/2 weeks pregnant. I did'nt want to tell him until I had actual proof because I had no idea how he would react. The news got to him and he made a reply saying, "well she needs to get the other guys shes been screwing tested." what a jerk! He knows as well as everybody else that he was the only one I had been with. Now I am all alone.I planned on having a father for my baby just as everyone else does. We all know how those plans work though. I would'nt take it back fo the world. Like I said I am 15 weeks and 2 days preggy and already I love my baby more than life itself.
Anybody else preggy and single? Crying
or Very sad

I'm so sorry to hear that! I'm not dealing with it. But I do know many women that deal with it, and end up with an abortion. I'm sooo happy you're planning on having it! Babies are so precious. I'm sure you've heard this before, but be careful with who you choose. I was with a lot of men when I was younger. I since became a christian and found a christian man, i'm the happiest person ever! Your baby will bring so much joy into your life! Don't let anyone put you down about this. Surely, don't take your man back! You deserve better than that. Congratulations and have fun with your baby!

Hey. I just wanted to say thanks so much for your advice. You are right. Could you imagine if I did take him back. He would definitly think I was a sucker and take me for granted. Abortion never did cross my mind. Its my fault and I cant take it out on an innocent sweet little baby. Did you read the article, this is so sad:( it has 2 poems that had me in tears last night. Oh gosh I was trying to type and wipe tears at the same time. It had everybody in tears. Well, if you ever want to chat my screen name is hearenbaby8504 and my e-mail is the same only @aol.Com.

So Confused
Posted: 02-08-04 18:17pm

Well, the other day he called me and we talked everything out. He did a little sneak and called my suppose to be best friend on 3 way and she sat there and admitted that she was the one that told him, then she says we told her how you said she needs to get the other guys shes been f*#@ing tested. He says, but I did not say that. She said I know it means the same though. He laughed and said I am sorry but it is not, the way you put it made me sound like I was calling her a promiscuous person. She said yeah, I will call her and let her know. He got off the phone and said, "see I told you." then he said he wanted to be in my life and the baby's life, what should I do??????????????????????? Confused
I know I have a friend or two I am dropping Crying
or Very sad which really makes me sad Crying
or Very sad I just don't wanna loose her, but then again what good is she if thats the way she is gonna treat me? Anyone with advice please help!!!!

Hi
Posted: 02-10-04 15:59pm

Trust me your not by yourself at all! What I am going through is very similar. To be honest I don't know what you should do just what ever feels right! Sorry I aint much help. I am 16 and pregnant and I was never with the dad in the first place, sounds great so far! I have only told a few people cause I knew when ever I got pregnant there may be a chance of complications and there are not just with the dad. Soprru keep going on lol. The dad at first acted like he was interested and wanted to be part fo the babies life but then he turnt nasty I decided I werent going to have anything to do with him but really deep down I know I cant deprive my baby of having a dad knowing deep down that my son would hate him me cause of one mistake I made but it is up to you don't let know one make your mind up for you but you. Its your life you decision and true friends will stick by you no matter what you decide.

Hope I helped!

Rachel,
thanks so much. I told jackie the other day when she called. She started out with, hey I am sorry I have not called in a couple days, I have been to lots of parties!! You would not believe the stuff that has went on. Then she went on to say, god I have not talked to you in so long, I feel like I lost a best friend. I said well, jackie you did. She said huh? I told her how I knew everything and how I truly believed that she was using me anyways for my money to get her liquor, of course I was becoming a heavy drinker also, then she says, no its not like that. I said yeah it is if it wasn't then you would be calling me to check on me, not telling me after you have this baby, I am taking you to meet these one guys and we can finally go to the club drunk. I just told her so yeah, you did loose a friend when I found out I was having a baby cause the real you leaked through. She tryed to apologize but I did not want to hear it, so I just said goodbye, and hung up. Sound like I did the right thing??? As for the dad he is in the process of switching jobs cause he said he needs to make more money, "i have a baby on the way!" I told him he needed to start back from the bottom to build up my trust.

Well if you feel you have done the right thing then in your mind you have. But if you do feel bad for it then maybe it weren't such a good idea. At rhe mo you don't need other little stresses going on your baby is your life now and you need to be there for the baby not your friends they have to come secodn and have to learn to understand that. And for what you did with the dad fair play I would do something similair if I could stand to be around the dad but I cant. I do try to speak with him but he turns nasty so I don't want anything to do with him. I do stick up for myself I am known for it lol but you cant fight when your pregnant I no that but I have the urge to smash his face in but I have to think of the baby.

We Are So Similair
Posted: 02-11-04 16:16pm

Rachel,
i am the same way, lol when I found out what jackie did to me I was like I am going to kick her a*#!!! I was so mad and my mom says hun, first of all you are pregnant and ya cant do that, then she says to me your 18 now. If you fight now there is always a chance you could go to jail, so even if you wait till you have the baby, think what she will think, "where is my mommy?" so I also thought well, I won't then. My baby is so much more important than a piece of dirt. She hugged me and said "its okay heather we are here for you and we love you!" its funny how we can be so like blah and then the most blow it off kind of person huh? I agree if you cant stand him and he wants to be nasty, then you don't need him. That was always my thought, what is my baby gonna think when she realizes every body else has a daddy. What do I tell her?

You All Are Not Alone
Posted: 02-12-04 11:33am

I am now 25 and I have a son he is now 5. I know how it is to be single and pg and to raise a child alone. My son does not know his father. He dad has not seen him since he was 2months old. He has made this chose and yes it is hard. But we all get through it. I feel that it is better to find out early that they dont want to be there than later after they have been around for a while and deside to leave. His dad has only seen him mabe 3 times and thats all. We really dont even know were he is at now. So yes I know that it is a very hard time for you guys, but you all need to know that you all are not alone, I am sure that you all have family and friends. Also dont add extra stress to your life with fighting because you could misscary and noone wants that and you all dont want to go to jail. You all can pm me if you all have questions or need to talk I have been there and I still am look I am rasing a kid alone. I am also going to college so you all can do it too you just got to have fath in youself.

Thank God
Posted: 02-12-04 18:14pm

I did not think that there was anyone out there!!! I am so happy to share our stories with each other, although they suck, the outcome is beautiful and we have/gonna have wonderful children. I would love to keep talking about our children and our survival stories, I guess you could call them. I think eing a mommy and a daddy will just make us better people. Not better than you know the parents, just better people. I wish us luck!! Oh, yeah, I find out is she is really a she on feb. 27th. I'll let ya know :d

For all those of you whos babies father left them. You will get them back by slapping them with a child support case and the birthing cost!!! Don't worry ladies it will all be okay. They will sooner or later come to grips with what is the truth and what is right...And if not, they will just pay you up the ying yang for the next 18 years!!

Everything Will Work Out For the Best!!
Posted: 02-17-04 19:22pm

Like you and many of other girls out there I was 18, alone and pregnant. Macy's dad treated me horribly and quite often cheated on me. He wanted the baby while I was not ready. Yet after learning that I was pregnant he left and said "he was not ready for the responsibility". Abortion was never an option for me.
I am now a 23 yr old college graduate that struggled these five years to become the person that I am today. Like you my friend were at the age where they were just starting to be able to go out. The only person I talk to today out of that group of people is my best friend. I found myself becoming friends with all pregnant girls in the same situation as me. So if you think you are not going to have any friends you are wrong. If they are not there for you know, when you need them the most then they were not yours friends to begin with.
Macy's father comes and goes. She really never askes for him. It is better that he is gone anyway. I have found someone who loves me and my child. He treats her like she is his own child. He tells me everyday how much he loves her. She voluntarily calls him daddy and will even tell her real dad that he is her daddy.
Everything will work out fine. You have a family that is there for you and will help with whatever they can do.

I Feel Bad But Great
Posted: 02-18-04 01:55am

I feel bad for everyone, but like you have said, everything works out best. I want to say thanks for sharing your painful, but wonderful stories. I think they all have a good ending, even if it is not the end. You were right, family is great. I don't know where I would be without mine. My baby would probably not be as healthy as she is now. I get immediate attention here with my mother and father. On sunday night around 12am I tripped over a cord. I went in to what they call pre-labor. They kept me there till today. I just got home and I feel if I would have been where I was I would not have got to the hospitol like I did. So I agree with you 110% family is the best. I am happy to hear that your children have turned out so wonderful.

Totally Agree!
Posted: 02-18-04 10:21am

I totally agree if your friends arent there when you need them then they obviously aint your true friends. I am not talkin to one of my 'friends' as I found out she has been slaggin my off behind my back not a true friend in normal circumstances I would smash her face in but I behaved. Just like that girl who I had a fight with cause she pushed my stomach she came in today an I behaved myself but deep down I want to beat her!. My real query is can you dye your hair when your pregnant? Some peopel have said yes others no then others sayin its your choice but a risky one. Anyone help? My mum and friends all dyed there hair when they was pregnant and everythink was fine

You're Not the Only One
Posted: 02-22-04 23:34pm

Hi my name is alisha i'm 16 and 9 weeks and 2 days pregnant. I also have a 4 year old daughter. My kid's daddy was excited about me being pregnant with our second. He even asked me to marry him. And 3 days later I go to call him and his mom says she hasn't seen him for 2 days. I was left alone, scared, and confused. He came around about 3weeks ago and told me he was sorry and still loved me. He also told me that the only reason he disappeared was because he was scared. And I thought, well hello i'm 16, pregnant, and already have a 4 year old daughter. And I knew my parents were going to be pissed, again. So you were scared? I know my parents are going to disown me again, after they take away my car and I am forced to take my baby and live on my own. Being a teen mother is hard. Crying
or Very sad
