14, Pregnant, And Not So Scared.
Posted: 08-26-03 14:53pm

Hey everyone! I just wanted to share my story because mine is not so negative. I found out about 8 weeks ago that I was pregnant. The father, sadly ( I am very ashamed of this) I had only known him a week before we slept together. But when I told him I was pregnant he told me that he would support the baby and me too if I needed it. He is a very sweet guy and is handling this very well. His mom was a little shocked and upset but now she is being totally supportive too. My mom didnt take it quite as well, but she has moved past that now and we are planning on redecorating my room more appropriately for the baby. I moved back to florida from kentucky, (where I got pregnant) so the baby's father is quite a ways away. But he calls often and supports me. His mom and he already said they would definately be here for the birth. And he's probably moving to florida in may when he graduates. And in about 2 years we are probably getting married. I hardly knew him at first but now I know that he is a truly great guy. I know that raising a baby is the hardest thing I will ever have to do, but I am so glad I have the love and support of the people I love. That makes it that much easier. So having a baby doesn't have to be an all-bad experience. Think of the good things: unconditional love from someone who is so very much a part of you is my number one reason. I'm not saying that having a baby at this point in my life is the right thing, but there's no looking back so you might as well look forward to what the future holds. Having a baby can be the most wonderful, stressful, confusing, and hardest thing in the world. But it's every one of those qualities that make it so great in my opinion. Thanks for listening.

Your pregnant now, so its too late. You have a right to be happy but the thing is you should have waited until you were older. Having a baby is exciting and I hope you have a plan. Like saving money for the diapers, wipers, milk, bottles, clothes, blankets and all other necesities. I hope you have a great doctor and physician for your baby. Not to burst your bubble but plans to be with a guy who is far away is most likely not going to work, he will find other things to entertain him, new girlfriends and he wont want to send you all his money for your baby. Your only 14. Enjoy your sleep now because when the baby is born to hungry to sick to teething to needing a diaper change at 2 in the morning, there will be a lot if crying from then on. Good luck.

I know it's going to be really hard. But there wasn't a lot I could do to avoid it. Birth control obviously didn't work. As for the father, I know I can't say he isn't going to move on with his life, but my cousin who lives there is good friends with him and they hang out a lot and I am in contact with his best friend so I kind of have a pretty good idea of where he's at, what he's doing and who he is with most of the time. As of right now, I don't really consider us *together* because of the distance. And he sends 300 dollars a month to help pay for baby expenses. I would never expect him to give up evry penny of his money when 300 a month is quite sufficeint for now. But we are supposed to get together when he moves down and that will be that. As for doctor yes I have a very good doctor. And I am enjoying my sleep while I can! Believe me! But I just thought I would clear that up some.

Ok well good luck to you then! Your still 14 though! I was still at the playgorund at that time! I can almost feel your mothers shock to know her baby was going to have a baby. Anyways, again- good luck

Congradulations, and I am glad that you are taking a positive approach to this, but I hope you realize that you will have a little person to love you, they also depend on you and sometimes babies seem to take more love than they give, especially in the beginning, not too sure about the long distance thing with the dad (how old is he?) but best of luck

hey this is pamala, im 14 and pg with my baby girl jaylynn. The babys father and I were together for about a year and the first time we decide to have unprotected sex....Bam!!! (lol) well now im 6 months preggo (7 on the 11) (yay)(gosh, time is flying bye)Mr.
Green well in my opinion, he is to immature to take care of our daughter, so he comes and go's im not going to keep him from his daughter, but im not going to stress myself out trying to make him do something hes not ready for, but anyway, I just want to let you know, that we are the same age, u r lucky, you have a mom to support you, and as far as I can tell the babys father and parents support. So good luck to you, but as for me, I have a job, im 6 months preggo, I go to school, I live with my aunt who is a partyer and never home. My father lives in tennessee I live im maryland, my mother overdosed on cocane (crack) when I was 12. My brother is in jail, and im alwase alone, my aunt kiked me out when I first found outi was pregnant, so thats whyi got a job, but she let me move in and pay rent to her to ret her basement because I have a job now, I have to take the bus everywhere I go, I lost all of my friend except 1 because im pregnant and I have to grow up and I cant party with them all the time. I never relised life could be this hard because of everything ive been through, the sad thing is....The jurny is just beinning. But I feel that I can make it if I really wanna, and I do really want to. So I will. Well thats all for me.......Good luck to you. Xoxoxoxoxoxoxo
pamala & jaylynn


p.S. Do u relise how hard it is for a 14 year old to get a job?

Pamala, I just wan't to say good luck to you. Truly. What kind of job do you have. I wish I had something more saportive to say, but I dont. Are you gonna try to stay in school after the baby is born? There are many options out there that make this possible.

Just one small thing, the unconditional love is from you to your baby, not the baby to you.......... They dont even know what love is yet, and as they grow they learn to use it against you......... Havent you ever ssaud to some one who loves you "i hate you" because you know it will hurt them, ie your parents? Hell my two year old only started to say I love you mummy 6 months ago, and she doesnt really know what she is saying. You are there for your baby, not your baby there for you......
Good luck any ways xxx
