I am not to sure if you would classify me as a teen but i am 19 years old. Some people say I'm a teen because Nine-TEEN. Either way i see myself as an adult; Reason being where I live i am the legal age to vote,etc and if purchasing tickets,etc I am no longer a Child or Student but an Adult. I can understand why some people may regard teen pregnancies to be stupid or whatever their opinion may be on it but i do not like judgmental people. I completely agree that some teens are not mother/father material but there are always exceptions. Its not always age that matters. I know some people that are 25 with 3 kids and they do not use their money on their children but on alcohol and cigarettes and they just get the cheaper brands for their children that are crap (some cheaper brands are good). Also they leave their childrens nappy on them until its soaked through than ask everyone to change it and when they don't they finally get up and change it but use no nappy wipes or powder!! Just the back of the nappy.

Anyways that was my little rant here is my story-

I was kicked out of home at 16. I was told to live at my Fathers house because i had got a $400 phone bill and my mum was "sick of me". That $400 phone bill i paid but took me a bit longer to pay it, so it wasn't like she had to pay it. Either way it was a stupid reason. My Father is abusive and an alcoholic. I stayed with him for a few months and caught the bus to work and home. Than again a bus to my boyfriends house. One day my father wouldn't let me leave the house and said he would "kick me so far up the **** it bleeds" because i wasn't hungry enough for dinner and apparently i was ungrateful. He was off his head drunk. I called my mother crying and yet she did nothing. I was about to call the cops but he came in and hugged me and said he was sorry. That night i left and went to my boyfriends house and i stayed there every night and continued working - I had an office job. My boyfriend had also been through some rough times. His mother passed away a week before his 16th birthday and his step father was an alcoholic that turned to drugs and became violent when my boyfriends mother passed away. So i lived with him since i was 16 as no one else would take me in. That forced us to become stronger and we both worked. We were the best of friends before and even when we were going out. Long story short but we moved into our own place when i was 17 almost 18. He proposed to me When i was 18 and of course i said yes. We aren't planning on getting married right away we would rather save our money,etc. I am now 19 and im expecting our first babies!- Twins. I am 20 weeks and they are two girls. I am almost 20 years old. My partner is 21 and will be 22 in 2 weeks. I personally like i said do not consider myself a teen. I have my own car, own drivers licence, I do not party,drink,take drugs or smoke and i never have and never will. We are saving for a house. We have already started buying our babies things like the cot, change table,etc. It is hard but its worth it. My life hasn't really changed a great deal. We always budgeted and put our rent, groceries and bills first and spent the other things on going to the movies or a treat like going out for dinner and saving. Only difference now is that i am unable to work because i had a few complications during this pregnancy and i was put on bedrest. My partner is unable to work as he has a disability and working for longer than 14 hours a week can put him back into a wheelchair. He is trying to find a job suitable around this area that he can sit down at but of course there hasn't been much luck as we are in recession. So at the moment money is a bit tight. But i have a lot of family for support. It wasn't a planned pregnancy but definitely a blessing. I wouldn't change a thing. I cannot wait to have my two girls here and my fiance will help out for the first few months than he will work full time while i watch the children and than hopefully when they are 6-12 months old i plan on working a few days a week or studying.

I found out I was pregnant when I was in my last year of high school. I was scared just like everyone else but I also woke up and realized that it was my fault and needed to do what was right. I had only very little support throughout the entire pregnancy and still do. I still stayed in school, graduated with a belly. I didn't care what people thought, I came that far why would I drop out and or care what people thought it was my life and I would never see them again. The father and I now have joint custody, after everything kinda wish he wasn't part of my sons' life. Havign a little one sometime does make it hard to date, or finding someone that is okay with you having a little one but it shouldn't matter. With not finding anyone I could careless because I know that my son has me and I will have him. All you have to do is be there show your kid that you love them, support them and so on. Also about age I look at it as I will be there for that much more of his life and be able to see him grow up, graduate, get married and so on. Me having a kid I never imagined how much my life would change for the best but it has. I used to drink do drugs and smoke. I went to aa which is to help with drinking and drugs but that didnt do much, soon as I found out I was pregnant I quit everything just like that. Even when times get rough and the times I would normally start up again I think of my son and the urges go away just like that. It's pretty amazing how a little one can change your life in so many ways you wanting them to or not. I wouldn't change a thing, my son is the best thing that could every happen and is why I get out of bed every morning as depressed and or no matter how hard of a time I am going through.

i'm in basic terms 24 years old I certainly have 2 little ones and that i had them whilst i replaced into married. I study on a number of those solutions human beings telling you to have an abortion...that's in no way the respond to a undertaking and to that person shame on you for asserting the child is a mistake in step with threat you need to have used risk-free practices or no longer opened your legs.... To you my youthful candy heart tell your mom and dad in the event that they do no longer know and your boyfriend. If he leaves then nice you're extra valuable off with out him and no infant needs a father that would not % them. My pregnancies have been very annoying I had the "morning disease" all in the process the day from day one up till I further the two one in all my little ones yet for the main element of the delivery I felt no longer something and that i had a organic delivery with out meds. For you i won't propose that lady get you an epidural. in any case in case you do not have a God which you communicate with i will signify which you detect something to do with the situations which you're feeling on my own and depressed, write, study communicate on your mom and dad something that keeps your techniques off of what's happening. Love your infant and revel in existence. bear in mind that the blunders you're making can be the terrific MISTAKE you have ever made on your existence. If no person else tells you this i like You and God loves you too!!!!!!!

Not at all!!! I love my son to much to regret what I did! I do have to tell U it sucked at first! All the morning sickness sleepless nights fatness but at the end it was all worth it. Now am going to start going back to school and become an RN life is wonderful now my baby boy is 3 now and life couldn't get better. But my husband and I would have done things differently but what's done is done and don't regret it :) hope u won't either :) good luck to u.
