Hello to all my new pregnant friends :) My name is Shaniqua and i am 16 years old (my b-day just past in january). yes i do know that according to most people teen pregnancy is just a no-no... blah blah blah yada yada yada. yeah ive heard it all, and i really dont give a damn what they say. i can love and support my baby just as much as any other woman. im not saying its not going to be hard, o i know it will be, im just saying i can do it. i dont consider my baby as a mistake or a consequence for my actions or anything else like that becuz he/she is not.

i am 19 weeks and 5 days pregnant today (20 weeks tues.). and so far my pregnancy has been a smooth one. ive been free of morning sickness (thank god). but i do still have headaches some are worse than others, i get nauseas occasionally, i have to make a few more stops to the bathroom everyday, my boobs were tender for awhile especially my nipples, they hurt so bad that i cried and couldnt let anything touch them but when i got my "period" about a week ago they suddenly stopped. and yes i said my period, i dont know if it really is my period or just vaginal bleeding, my periods now are lighter and shorter than they normally were and i have very little cramping with them. for a week now ive been feeling what i think is the baby kicking and its very xciting! i just wish he/she would do it more often. ive also been feeling these spasms in my tummy... hiccups mayb? lol

as for pj (the babies daddy) and i, we are no longer together. his birthday is tomarrow actually and he will be 16. pj really is a great guy he LOVES kids, hes like one himself (really) but he really likes to play with his little cousins and its so cute to watch him. hes a family guy. and i know that he will be a GREAT daddy but i also know that he isnt ready for one of his own... hes still enjoying being... him. he plays soccer for our school and plays for other teams when its not soccer season... mayb i'll be a soccer mamma :))) pj doesnt know that we're expecting yet so i should probably tell him soon. i hope everything goes well with him and i, i still love him and i want us to be together but idk if its going to happen.

well today was my babys daddy b-day he turned 16. i said to my belly "today is your daddys birthday!" and a little after that i think i felt a lil kick! to bad daddy couldnt have felt it :( i slept with my new body pillow last night and o god it felt comfortable. i had been having trouble finding a comfortable sleeping position, idk why my stomach isnt that big and i try avoid laying on my back cuz i know thats not good, but that body pillow made all the difference in the world!!

20 weeks today!! ughh... today i had a speech to do at school which means i had to dress, heels n all. which i really didnt mind cuz i like dressing up somtimes but the heels killed my feet all day at school. my classes are all over the school so it was hell on my feet. i swear my belly grew quite a bit last night, which made me happy this morning cuz it felt like i had grown in a few weeks. i felt alot of tightening in my stomach today... it wasnt painful it was just uncomfortable idk if it was braxton hicks or possible round ligament pain? idk...

im done wit him!! i hate him. he's played me for the last time. and i havnt even told him im pregnant yet! what a shock he'll get! i take back EVERYTHING i said about him up above. anyway on a happier note, im loving being pregnant. i havnt grown much in awhile but i do think i feel more movement which is exciting. i cant wait for the big kicks lol. im getting even more tired these days... ugh.
