Whew! Sun_kissed, you scared me there for a minute. (sigh - let me catch my breath, lol).

I was 13 when I got pregnant with my first child and had him when I was 14. I wasn't one of those young mothers that wanted a child or anything like that. I was stupid and naive ... Didn't know what the hell I was doing but had unprotected sex and ended up getting pregnant. I was in denial the first 8 months - even then I was barely showing. I knew that I wasn't ready for a child, but adoption or abortion was not an option for me. I handled the consequences of my actions, and have raised a very loving and wonderful son who is now 9 years old. (his father and I broke up when my son was a year old - but remain great friends).

When I met my boyfriend of 4 years now, I knew that I was ready for another child. We started trying when I was 19 years old, with no such luck. After about a year of trying, we just kinda gave up on it and figured that if it was meant to be then it would be. When I was 20 (almost 21), I found out that I was pregnant. I, now, have another great son who just turned 2 three days ago.

It's a hard job, being a mother. Only you know if you can do it or not. Try to make sure that you have everything in order because you don't want to take on too much at one time. Bringing a child into this world is a blessing but it takes up a lot of your time. You may want to even consider completing college first, just so you don't have to worry about exams, papers that are due, projects or anything like that. You can devote most of your time to being a mother.

I'm just now getting enrolled into college. I kinda wish that I would have went ahead and got it over with directly out of high school. I didn't ... And now i'm having a hard time because I love being with my kids and I don't want to take time away from them. I think that it's the best thing that I could do for my kids and myself, though.

Good luck! Feel free to private message me if you need to talk. Take care! :-)
