Hey lilmama!
I am 24 yesterday and I wasn't pregnant at 16 or 17 or anything like that, but I did get pregnant at 20 and had my daughter a month before my 21st b-day. I love the name you chose by the way! It is a very strong name! Anyhow, being a mom is tough, but I will tell you that staying strong minded about what a good mother you will be is a way to get through it. Keep your faith in god and he will teach you the paths to take to make a beautiful life for your little man. My daughter is 3 and her father and I are together, but we fight a lot and he is so young acting. He is 25, but he doesn't act it. He would rather kick it with his friends and play video games than help me when I really need it. We have been together for 6 years and I love him, but he doesn't get that it is time to grow up a little and make being a father his very first priority. I am not sure what your situation is with the daddy of this little man you are carrying, but if it is not the best then let it go for now. Your baby is the most important thing right now and you cannot afford to be stressed over anything. I stressed a lot during my pregnancy.
I hope anything or everything I wrote helped in some form. Keep strong girl and look to god when you feel like you won't or can't make it! I have learned that I was put here for a reason and this is my journey and my world so I am gonna butter my toast with the best flavor and eat every last bite! I will say some prayers for you! Good luck!

I hope you have help because it is hard to get use to being a mommy but dont worry you'll get the hang of it!! I got pregnant with my first at 15 my twins at 17 and now my 4th now at 20! Everything does get better :d

I'm really scared, I know i'm not the only one. I really need someone to tell me their experience with their parents. I haven't told my and i'm not going to for a little while, I have to come to terms with it myself first. I have a doctors appt tomorrow, i'm praying that the 2 positive tests were just god's way of telling me and my fiance that we need to wait, I know we do.... But, but... I have no excuse. I'm so scared. Please help and pray for me -rebecca.

Becca-
first off, please don't count on the two tests you took being wrong. I believe god does things to show some sort of sign, but I doubt two tests would come back positive. I took 3 tests at home before going to the Dr. I was a nervous wreck! I was crying and not eating and all that horrible stuff. I have a really good relationship with my mother fortunately. We are best friends. She always told me when I was growing up that I could go to her with absolutely anything. When I found out I was pregnant, I was scared as hell to go to her. Even though she told me I could feel confident knowing she would be there for me. I went to 2 of my good friends first and I called her from their house. I didn't actually tell her the whole situation over the phone. I told her I had something very seriuos to tell her and I think she basically knew what it was before we hung up. I was 20 at the time and that may sound like a legitimate age, but 20 is still young also. I was working full time and going to college. I was free to do what ever the hell I wanted and that was changing right before my eyes. Either way, I went home and the second I saw my mom, I began to cry. My father passed away when I was 14 so I had only my mother. I did feel my dad was probably looking down at me in total dissapointment. I sat down on the couch and just took a deep breath and told her. She hugged me and told me we would get through it together. I was still in a realtionship with my boyfriend and I thought that was a little better. Now that my daughter is 3, he is a great father for her, but he acts too young for me and doesn't take our relationship serious enough. Telling my mom was a big stump, but I did it and I knew deep in my heart that things were going to be okay. Even if you think your parents are going to scream or kick you out or whatever your biggest fear is, just know in your heart that you are going to do what is right for your baby. Ask god to guide you when you go to tell your parents. Take a deep breath and do it. Let them know that you plan to be responsible and that you and your fiance will be the best parents you could possibly be. Tell them you need their emotional support because you love them. I will pray for you sweetie. Life is tough but after having this baby you will know why god put you here!

Hey hun. I know it is a scary thing to think of. But hold on. Everything will turn out ok. If you are you always have some one to talk to. I will be here for you. And all the other mothers. Cuz they have been here for me. I was scared to find out and I waited 4 months and then went and found out. It's better to find out as soon as u think you are. Plus hearing your baby's heart beat and then the ultra sound is so cool. I cried when I heard the heart beat. And everytime I hear it I cry all over again. It's a joy knowing that your gonna bring a new life in the world. Yes it is a scarying thing also. But everyone has told me not to worry about the bad things just think of how you are gonna be as a mother and thing of all the wonderful things you'll have with your baby.

Hey the names we pick out for our kids don't effect you so go shove it. I chose the name erik after my cousin who died so don't even go there.

Lilmama

I am only 14 and my whole life my mom has told me I could come to her when I wanted to get on birth control. Last week I went and I told her I wanted to get on it and she took it vary well at first and did her best to be proud of my for being honest but in truth I let her down. I feel like I have totally failed my parents, is this normal?? Help any one....

You are doing something good. And even though u feel like your letting them down they should really be proud of you. Your protecting yourself from becoming a teen mother. I don't know if you are having sex or not. And that's none of my worrie's but you'll feel better that you talked to your mom about it when your friends who didn't end up being a mommy before they are ready.

Lilmama

Congrats on your new son erik and I think it's a lovely name by the way! If you would ever like to talk i'm available. Your going to be a wonderful mommy honey
love
tanya
p.S. Lilmamma is right getting on birth control is wonderful! Most 14 year olds don't protect themselves like you do! Your mother probably didn't expect it but don't worry about it. You should be very proud of yourself

I wish I would have used birth control. I want my baby but I know it ruined my life. So that's why I would recommend it to any one who is young.

Lilmama

How dare you say something so stupid! Erik is a beautiful name. You are probably some young kid who thinks it is funny to log on and write ridiculous things! I hope everyone here ignores you from here on out! I know I will, but this time I neeeded to say something! Get lost!

I think you are absolutely the most pathetic person ever. You have nothing better to do with your day than to get online and try (not very successfully) to put others down. It isn't working so why don't you quit wasting your time and worry more about your life than ours! I think erik is a beautiful name, infact I was thinking of my son having the middle name of erik but i'm not sure yet!
I'm praying for you pat in hope that you overcome all your anger and hatred!
Much love! And good luck to all you expectant mothers!

Thank all of you guys who think erik is a beautiful name. I have a really deep meaning behind naming my son that. Erik is the name of my bestfriend/cousin who died last year. Michael is for another one of my friends who was murdered. So.

Lilmama

My best friend's name is eric, I love the name and probably would pick that name if it weren't my friend's name (i'm not into confusion, "hey eric, could you go get eric for me"). To let everyone know, i'm definatly pregnant and i'm 3 weeks alone... I think. My first appt is on the 1/7/04. I can't wait to be honest. I can't wait until they can see something in the ultrasound. I'm 21 btw, so this isn't quite so scarry as being 14 I realize that. My fiance and I are going to get married in either march or april of this year. We were going to get married in about 2 years but I really want to be married when we have the baby. Matthew, my fiance, I standing beside me through everything, we were together when we told our parents. My mom cried for like a day and a half, his parents are fine. My dad is very calm. Both our parents are still married.

Dont feel so bad about being a teen mother because my cousin was 15 when she got pregnant the first time and then 16 1/2 when she got pregnant again. She now has three kids, her own apartment, a man (the father of her daughter) who's there for her and her two sons which are not his. Their father is a dead beat who would rather pay child support than to be around for his sons.
Please count your blessings and be happy for your baby's sake. My mom would always tell me this when I was pregnant with my first child. I was living at home with her. My boyfriend was staying with his family and had just had a daughter a couple of months before I found out I was pregnant. His mom and sisters were acting as if they were in the room with my boyfriend and I when my baby was concieved because they just knew she wasnt for him. They hung up in my face a lot and when they didnt do that they would lie and say he wasnt home. I guess they wanted him to be with the other girl because his mom even let her move in.
It really hurt me to be treated so badly while I was pregnant especially because I knew I had never done his family anything wrong. His father who was the only sensible one in the family didnt even know I was pregnant because he worked off shore and was never there.
Well I stayed strong through all that and now my boyfriend and I have been living together for over a year. We just recently got our own apartment in august and are expecting our second child together and his third. We are happy and his sister is still miserable and sad and still entertaining the other daughter's mother. I dont care, because we just laugh at how stupid and jealous they are. Hang in there :d
