Jen, everything will be fine, that was great, it was from your heart, I understand how you feel as you know I had my first when I was 15 years old. Everything WILL work out!
thoughts of a pregnant teen
April 25, 2008
i haven't wrote one of these in ages,
but lately i've been goin through some tough stages.
two months ago two pink lines showed up on my pregnancy test,
and since then i've been tryin to do my best.
this is the hardest thing a teenage girl has to go through,
especially when she doesn't know anything to do.
not too long after that my clothes stopped fitting me,
and from a different perspective i started to see.
one of the hardest things is having to give up my dreams,
but life is always like that is seems.
since then me and my boyfriend fight so much more,
i always wonder why did this have to happen to me for?
the changes in my hormones sends my emotions wild,
but that's nothing compared to the thought having a child.
i'm only eighteen weeks into my pregnancy,
but it seems like it's been an eternity.
i know people look at my belly and talk when they see me in the halls,
but that's not hte only reason i put up this wall.
feelings of lonelinesss and distrust came so fast,
and i wonder how long everything will last.
it's hard being a 17 year old senior who's also a to be mother,
but i've been told the love for this baby will be like no other.
i hope we'll get through this and things will be okay,
but i know we'll be great parents no matter what people will say.
i know neither of us are ready for this obstacle yet,
but having this baby i'm sure we'll never regret.

take care jen and let as many loved ones help as possible. Its hard, really hard but we all make it thru and look back and wonder how we did it.
My heart goes out to you and your family, you will grow up fast but it will all be worth it! When you hold that baby and know that you are all he/she has in the world you will turn into a new person and you will love every min of it!
Lotsa luck and keep us all posted, we love to help with anything we can!!

Jen, I'm sure being a teen mom won't be easy - but like you said, you won't ever regret it. You and your child will share an amazing bond - a bond that will create strength where there was none and create happiness beyond what is imaginable to you now - Life as you know it may be ending....but really, your life is just about to begin. Enjoy your journey to motherhood and remember, we are here to help. :)
OK Jen Coming from some one who can say " I KNOW WHAT YOU ARE GOING THROUGH!!! BEEN THERE DONE THAT!!!" Babe things will get better, I promise as long as you do what you know is right for you and the Baby, People will start to respect the fact that you are taking responsibility for your actions..............The only ones you have to worry about now is You and the BABY! I was 16 when I had my 1st Daughter she is 11y/o now I also had my 2nd Daughter at 18 She passed at 7 Weeks old ( Born Premature ) then I had my 3rd Daughter at 22 she is going to be 6 July 1st. ALL I can tell You is Take care of your Baby no matter what it will always depend on you. Prove all those rude people wrong. I have taken care of my girls by my slef basically......... Everyone wanted to talk bad but now they have nothing bad to say! Unlike my Cousin that has three kids each by different dads and she don't have any of them cause she is a crack head. Sorry this was so long But try to relax and know that you will be a great Mother!!!! By the way I'm proud of you for staying in school............My parents made me Quit and get a job then finally my dad signed for me to get married so I just went and got my GED and took a CNA class so I could work at the Nursing Home....., You can do it babe, We are here when you need Us!!!
Jen, I saw your post and had to comment. I have a 19 year old daughter that I had when I was just out of high school, younger than she is now. The only thing that I really want to say is this...we struggled a bit throughout our years. We really kind of grew up together if that makes any sense. I feel like I was always a good mom to her even though I was young I stayed focused and made "ALL" of my decisions based on what was best for her. There is a lot of love. We butt heads I think mainly because we are so much alike. I can say to you with every bit of my heart I feel this.....It doesn't matter how old I was when I had that baby, I wouldn't change anything about the whole 19 years that we've been together thus far. She is the love of my life. You won't regret this, just embrace the experience and make your decisions based on what's best for both of you. What Erin said above is really true.
The love you will have (and probably already do have) for your child WILL be like none other. You seem to be a very strong individual and we are SO proud of you for staying in school! You are almost to your graduation day and it is such a big accomplishment... pregnancy drains you, but you stayed with school anyway.
You will be a great mom!
You will be a great mom!
