I am 18 and pregnant.... I found out I was pregnant 5 days before my 18th birthday!!!!
My story on how I found out...
Well I was supposed to get my period on August 13th or something like that and I never got it of course... but anyways first I thought it was just going to be late because of stress but when like 8 or ten days went by and I still didnt get it I thought it was wierd... I felt like I was going to get it a couple of times and my boobs were really sore... I was crabby and acting wierd I told my boyfriend I was late and he wanted me to take a test but I was too scared at first so I got the test and hung on to it for like 3 days before I finally got enough balls to take it...
It was August 23, 2007 ten days after my missed period before I finally took it... It was 4:30 AM before my boyfriend left for work I took the test and it didnt even take the whole 2 minuted before it came up positive.... I came out the bathroom and layed the test on the bed and I burried my face.... my boyfriend pulled my face out and gave me the biggest smile and told me he loved me...
Needless to say I didnt sleep anymore that day... I waited untill a decent hour to go to my friend Kerris house to tell her... she made me a drs apt and helped me call my mom.... my mom was ok but I was crying on the phone... we didnt tell my dad till like 2 months later while he was away on buisness so he had time to think about it before he snapped... I hid out at my friends house for like a week before I came home...
But it all turned out pretty good everyone is ok with it and now my boyfriend lives with me....
It was a suprise but Im so excited.... I never saw myself as a mother but now I cant wait.
My boyfriend ( babys father) and I are still together hes very supportive which I am extremely thankful for.
I cant wait and pray everyday for me and everyone else to have a beautiful healthy baby!!!
I never had morning sickness and I stopped fitting in my jeans at 13 wks... I cant wait to wear my clothes again haha Im just sick of sweats...

Ok so March 20th I had a lil scare... I callled the drs office the day before to complain of back and stomach pain and the nurse told me to take tylenol... So I went out got some tylenol and the next day I took it before work.... I guess it worked for a while but around 2 I was having period like cramps and I went to the bathroom and saw a microscopic amount of blood on the toilet paper, although it wasnt much it was enough to scare me half to death so I called the drs and they told me to go to the hospital up the the labor and delivery floor.... I was histerical so I called my boss told her I had to leave and my mom came and got me cuz I was a little shook up to drive... They get me to the hospital and hook me up to the monitors to make sure the baby was ok and thank the lord he was.... but as they were watchin they saw that I was having contractions (I couldnt feel them at all) and more than 4 contractions in 1 Hour is considered more than just braxton hicks and I was having like 2 every 20 minutes so they decided to give me fluids to make them stop... After and hour of that through my IV it didnt work so they had to give me a shot in the arm to stop the contractions... I was so scared because I didnt even feel them but I wasnt dialated my cervix was still high, thick, and closed so thats what matters... But yeah I thank god everything is ok but it was a hell of a scare... I hope I have no more encounters like that.... Needless to say I finished the nursery the next day... :)
On April 11th I woke up around 6 a.m. with on and off cramping... it didnt hurt too bad but I was to uncompfortable to go back to sleep so I got up drank water, took a shower, ate- I was thinking they were braxton hicks so I did everything they said to make them go away, nothing worked. I had work for 2 hours that morning so I went and the whole time this pain kept coming and wasnt letting up. I already had a scheduled apt for 10 a.m. so I wasnt to woried about it... I went to the apt and told them about the pain. They decided to send my to the hospital to see if I was actually in labor, when I got there they hooked me up to the monitors and saw that I was indeed contracting but since they were busy they decided to send me home- they said its better to labor your first part of labor at home- and told me if it didnt stop or my water broke then to call the dr and come back... So I left the hospital around 11:30 a.m. and went to eat and to boscovs with my mom- she wanted to get nursing pjs because she knew I would be going back... So I waited untill my boyfriend got off work and got home around 3:30 and I was still in bad pain he walked with me untill I couldnt walk anymore. I could still talk but when I was contracting not so nice things were the only thing I could say. Around 5:30 I went pee and when I did I lost my whole mucous plug- bloody show and all- for like two weeks prior I had been losing bits of it... At that point I called the dr and said I think Im in labor my contractions were 4-5 minutes apart and nothing was helping... he told me to go back to the hospital to get checked and I dialated more I was about 3-4 cm dialated, 75 % effaced and I was 2 and 50 earlier that day. They watched me on the monitor and gave me fluids and decided that I was in fact in labor (as if I didnt know) and that I was going to stay and have a baby. As time went on it got more painful for longer so they gave me a shot of morphine around 7. That helped me relax and rest a bit... around 10 when the morphine wore off I decided to walk around a bit to help further along... when I got done walking I was about 5 cm and very thin so they gave me another shot of morphine but it didnt help like it did the first time. I waited untill I was like 7 cm to get the epidural and it wasnt so bad but I didnt like it I swear the dr gave me to much because I couldnt cough or anything so I left in on untill I was 10 cm and almost all the way thinned out to tell the nurse to turn it off because it was kind of freaking me out... Around 2 am it was time to push so I did- OMG was that hard holy crap... and since I had the epidural turned off I felt it all and it HURT... but when I finally got my babys head out the dr told me to stop pushing because the cord is wrapped tightly around his neck, I was so scared so the dr cut the cord and I pushed the final time and he was born at 2:31 am... but my baby didnt cry probably b/c the cord the nurses took him right away and he was limp and they had to give him oxygen and a shot and I only got to hold him for like 2 seconds- they told me they had to take him right away to the nursury for help.... I was screaming for him it was horrible. They made me get up and take a shower and while I was in the shower the nurse came and told me my baby had a temperature of 101.8 and needed antibiotics through an IV and had to go under an oxygen hood because his respirations were to high... So I didnt get to hold him I could only touch his hand and kiss his toes- it was sad. The whole day saturday he was in the oxygen and had the IV... around 6:30 am on sunday he came out of the oxygen and we finally got to hold him- it was amazing.- he still had the IV but I could hold him... He got to come to my room and all so I hogged him all day he had to spend the night in the nursury though so they could watch him. On Monday morning I got released from the hospital and they were telling me he couldnt go untill a culture they sent away came back with no infection... I was upset but stayed there all day waiting and around 6 that night they told me I could take him I was sooo excited but scared... I love my son... 9 months of being fat and uncompfortable, 21 hours of labor, and 3 days of being scared to death and it was all worth it... for a 6 lb 11 1/2 oz 21 inches long beautiful baby boy... Im so glad hes home- Im exhausted and feel like crap but he is perfect and I feel like hes always been here...
