Alright. I was 17 when I got pregnant and at first was very scared I didnt know what I was going to do I didnt know if the babys father was going to stick around or not and truthfully I didnt know then if I even wanted this child. I mean 17 you have your whole life ahead of you.. A few years to go out and party and have fun and do things that you couldnt do before right.. And if I had this child.. Then I wouldnt be able to do any of that.. Cuz I would have a huge responsibilty everyday.. No matter what. So, I thought about it.. Talked to the babys father.. And we decided together that we were going to have this child. Now the first three months of my pregnancy were so terrible.. I got sick every morning.. And I felt like crap but still had to go to school... So I finished school.. And farther into my pregnancy I felt a lot better... Every docotrs appt. Everything was great.. The baby was fine I was fine so my pregnancy was perfect.. And then.. My due date came along.. I didnt go into labor so I had to go to the doctor the next day and I was only dialted 1 cm. .. So.. I had my daughter exactly 10 days after my due date. I had to be at the hospital at 6 in the morning which sucked and I got induced.. I had a fast delivery once the babys head got under my pelvis.. I was in labor for 6 and a half hours.. But only in painfuly labor for mabye two - three hours.. Had no pain medication.. Had a natural birth.. And I had a pretty big baby.. She was 9lbs. 1oz. And she was 21.5 cm in length. Her father was there while I was pregnant with her and he's still with us now. I had her on the 23rd of september this year and all the things I went through with the pregnancy and the delivery were all worth it now that I have her. She's my world.. My everything.. And when I think back.. To when I wasnt sure if I wanted her.. I'm so gald I decided to go ahead and have her. I am now 18.. I was 18 when I had her.. And I am very happy she completes my life and I love her to death. If any of you girls have any questions at all... Feel free to ask me.. I'll answer htem to the best of my ability. :d

I had my first son at 16 and here I am 18 and 5 months pregnant with my daughter. It seemed to be a very hard thing to go through. Everyday seems like a challenge but everyday I make it out a stronger person. You will do fine and good luck with your baby.

I know what you mean. I was fourteen when I had my daughter, and it's been a lot to get through school, come home with homework, and a baby that I still tend to all at once and soon I know that i'll also be juggling a job. But, I also know that I wouldn't be given this challenge if I couldn't handle it, so I take it all one day at a time.
Good to hear you're doing so well. :p
