Hehe.. Oh yeah, I know how you feel . It's nice to read of someone who feels the same way, too. I'm 23 and 8 weeks pregnant... And sure, "timing" wasn't the "best". I didn't care. Well, I did but... It's just like you feel someone is missing in your life. I mean, I don't want to be selfish but... I also know that with children, everything works out for the best.

I got pregnant when I was in school too... Tried then as well, my husband and I got married 2 months later (we were going to anyway). No way, nothing wrong with being an unwed mother. But we knew we wanted to be each other, loved each other, and loved our children to come. School was done in about 5 months. Unfortunately, two weeks before graduation I miscarried. I was so torn. Its common with women but still so awful. Anyway...

Two months later I was late for my period and got really excited.. Took a pregnancy test which turned out negative. For two weeks I was so depressed... I felt like a child belonged in my life despite the fact my husband wasn't legal to work in canada yet (almost.. Almost... Aaanytime now, bloody immigrations) and we moved in with my mother temporarily. I knew it wasn't the best of times... So I just tried to push my feelings aside, telling myself to wait, just wait - despite of how it just felt right. It took my husband to figure out what was wrong and sort've pry it out of me to confess, hehe. He said he really wanted one too.. But we'll plan and still wait. Just confessing made me feel better. Sooner or later though we gave in and tried.. And after two weeks... Two weeks!! I was pregnant again. Bliss!!

Oh it's almost 3 here now... Pardon my life story, lol. I just... Well, everyone waits for the "perfect time perfect time" and sometimes the "perfect time" just never comes. Sure there might be a "better time", but.. If you ask me, not when it comes to a child. I think they're all meant to be. And we love them so much.. We'll make sure we always do what's best for them.

But I don't want to urge you into my same decision... Just do what feels right . The time will come. Talk with your boyfriend... Cause I don't believe you have to be married, but it's great for you and your child if a loving, faithful man is nearby. Family is key. Maybe it's in his heart to conceive, too, you never know . But also we have to be responsible... Consider if you'll be able to provide for your child and give them the best life you can. Risks are great in life but with the life of another we need to be careful sometimes.

Follow your heart... And stay safe . You rock! Thanks for listening to my longwinded response....

Awww sweetie! Congratulations!!!! I hope everything works out for me, as well as it did for you!!, where in canada are you btw? I"m in montreal.
