When I was sixteen years old I became pregnant with my first child and I felt like my whole world was ending in a matter of a second. I felt alone and scared because I didn’t know how I was going to tell my parents that I was pregnant. I remember pretending to act like everything was ok but my father was noticing my changes. He would ask me why I was so tired all the time and why I was always sleeping so much. I would always say I was just overwhelmed with school work.
As time passed by my body started to change and I went from 100 pounds to 120 pounds.
I thought I was smarter then everyone so I decided to wear baggy clothing so my body changes wouldn’t be noticeable. By the time I reached four months pregnant I was not getting the proper

That I needed to take my prenatal vitamins because I had missed the 1st 4 months of my pregnancy and that the baby needed the vitamins to be stronger.
Few weeks later I went for another checkup and I had to be rushed to the hospital by ambulance. I was dilating and the baby was coming so I had to get an emergency surgery to insert a cyrcloge to prevent delivering early. The surgery was successful, for the rest of my pregnancy I was on bed rest and I couldn’t walk. I had to get home schooled until I delivered.
Nurses also would come to my home to check up on me and educate me on parenting. Eventually my parents became more supportive of my pregnancy after the big delivery scare. Which made me feel a little bit better because I didn’t have anyone else’s support due to my age. Many family members would judge me for my mistake and they wouldn’t allow my cousins to be around me because I was pregnant at sixteen.
As the months went by I got bigger and bigger, I didn’t miss any more doctors’ appointments. I went for an ultrasound and found out I was having a little girl and my parents were very excited. By the time I was nearly nine months pregnant, my mother rented out an entire restaurant and surprised me with a beautiful baby shower. All I could do was cry

As my delivery date approached I was getting very anxious and scared reality was starting to kick in. I was actually bringing in a human being to the world. On January 8, 2000 I was feeling very sick I thought I was just having normal constipation pain, little did I know those where actual contractions. From the pain I ended up going to bed around 10pm that night a few hours later my sister calls my house to tell me she had a dream that I had the baby. I responded in a sarcastic way well your dream is wrong I’m home and baby is still in my belly, and she started laughing says ok call me when you’re ready and she hangs up on me.
Sure enough by 7am I couldn’t sleep I went to the bathroom noticed I was bleeding. I rushed to call my mom she says to me calm down is going to be ok. Make sure you shower and wear comfortable clothing and have the baby’s stuff ready to take to the hospital. At that moment
I realized that I was about to really be someone’s mom at sixteen. By 2:19pm I became a mother it was the most wonderful experience I have ever had in my life that little angel crying was mine.
All the scary feeling went away I knew that moment that all I had was her and she has was me even if I was just
Where I had once been the only child of my single father, I was now the parent to the debilitated child.
The moment I found out I was pregnant with William at 18 - I knew my life would never be the same- it was one of those life defining moments.
I took a deep breath and pushed till I thought my eyeballs would pop out. In a gush she arrived, and they laid her on my chest where she immediately started to nurse. My husband started to cry for joy and I just had the biggest grin on my face. I did it, I did it!!
I jumped out of bed ready for his big day. I had been waiting a whole 365 days. I was
2) What emotions were you experiencing during this pregnancy? How was this different from your other pregnancies? “I was scared and just wanted to go back to my mother, it was my first child and I was still very young.” She mentions that
From the time my brother was born, a career of nursing was always in mind. I remember waking up in the car and mom telling me that the baby was coming. Moments later, we were informed that my brothers stomach was shrinking inside of her and that they had to do an emergency c-section. Thirty two weeks into my
From wanting to take my sister back to the hospital because she wouldn't play with me to having my little brother being born in the same month as me.
"Stephen, this is ridiculous, we are about to go pick up your new sister, someone, whether you like it or not, you are going to love and care for one day. No matter how you feel right now, you better not treat her like this!" And with that Mom was silent for the rest of the drive. She must've been very upset at me to not even turn around and apologize for her yelling. That moment I realized just how selfish I was being to them. I knew how hard this was on them and how much they wanted this baby. And here I am throwing all of their hopes and dreams in the
It was August 25, 2006 and I just received the news that I was going to have a baby. At that moment so many thoughts ran through my mind. I was extremely nervous and terr...
At only 8weeks I was excited to be expecting a child. The real joy came when I found out not was I only expecting a child, I was expecting two of them. Yes, Twins! To make it even better I learnt they were a boy and a girl. What an amazing time for me and my family! As the days pass and time was half way there, no one could wait for these babies to be born. It all started at only 22weeks the clothes, bottles, diapers, and anything a baby would need. Only to realize 2weeks later it would all be for nothing.
When I found out I was pregnant I could never have imagined how hard my life was going to be as a teen mom. I remember my dad sitting me down and telling me he respected my decision to keep my daughter, but that I had no idea how hard I just made my life, I don’t think that in that moment I really realized what he meant, but I would soon find out. I was just starting my 11th grade year when my daughter was born so I still had two years of school left. I also had to work so I could take care of my daughter, so trying to do both seemed impossible, at one point my school wanted me to go to school during the day and at night so I could graduate. There was no way I could work and go to school during the day and at night. I had to think long and hard about what I needed to do, my daughter and I needed to be able to survive so I definitely needed my job, so I did
“Everything is going to be O.K.,” my mother said, before walking into her bedroom and crying her eyes out. Throughout my teenage years I had it made. I had security, support of my family, and everything I could ask for. When I turned 16, I found out something that would change my life forever, I was pregnant. Being pregnant at a young age is a very difficult thing to go through. It can be hard mentally, financially and also physically.
I went through several stages of labor and its difficulty, after which I was transferred to ICU where I
It was my first day of my three year old preschool! I don’t know if I was excited , scared, nervous, frightened, queasy, or even crazy!
After months and months of eating for two, constant visits to the doctors, and my husbands teasing, the moment of truth finally hit me. I was actually going to give birth to this tiny individual who had been living in my stomach for the past nine months. I was finally going to meet the creature that had been kicking me and keeping me from a great nights sleep. The one thing from this experience that I have learned is that nobody will ever be able ...
