Well I just found out Monday night that I am pregnant, but I am deathly terrified to tell my parents because they deeply frown upon something like this. I want to tell them soon, but I guess need help how. But I am so ecstatic about it and so is my boyfriend, he is demanding to pay for everything and that I move in with him. This is a lot for one person, but I wouldn't change this for the world :]

Bad news

Tue, 10 Jul 2007 03:44:17 GMT

Hi, its Jessica again, I posted last time when I was 3 weeks pregnant, its been about 2 weeks since then?
Unfortunatly I miscarried and the baby is gone, I dont know what happened, I was doing so well, I had a nutritionist and everything to make sure I was eating right for the baby, and I was doing so well. But then I started bleeding, I went to the doctors and they told me the worst news I've ever heard, that I was no longer pregnant. I'm depressed and I feel like everything is my fault, like I wasnt doing enough, and that I must have been doing something wrong. I'm crying constantly, I'm not going out anymore because I'm to upset to do anything, I'm only on the computer to get support through you ladys, and thats all I'm able to do for now. The hardest thing was for me to see how upset my boyfriend was when he heard the doctor say that, in a sense I think he was a bit releaved because we are only 16 anyway, but I could still tell he was really upset because he even cried with me. It was the happiest moment ever when I told him we were pregnant and there was also some worry ofcoarse. I never wanted this to happen even though I was scared of having a baby gaining so much weight and the strech marks and everything that goes along with it, but I was extreamly happy, because I was having a baby with someone that I loved more than I loved myself. My boyfriend is the world to me and just knowing we were going to have a baby together made me the happiest person alive. I'm just so upset this had to happen and I'm going through hell thinking I could have done more and thinking I did something wrong. Nothing could ever amount up to the pain I'm dealing with right now.

Introduction

Tue, 26 Jun 2007 02:53:04 GMT

Hi, I'm Jessica, I'm 16 years old and 3 weeks pregnant.
I'm not to sure how to break it to my boyfriend, everytime I bring up having kids one day hes all like "your not pregnant right?" and I keep telling him I'm not. When I do say I want a baby to him he says "no until we're older" and that it will mess our lives up in a big way and everything like that and he keeps telling me he doesnt want to end up like his cousin that got pregnant at 16 also and lied about being pregnant for a year before that just to get attention. He says his parents and family are saying like they dont trust him because hes 16 so hes automatically going to get into all sorts of trouble and stuff like that and he wants to prove them wrong.
I feel so bad now that I'm pregnant because hes really going to be upset and freak out because my mom is a strong believer in the whole "no abortions" thing, I am too, its a really wrong thing to do, it discustes me. I want to keep this baby no matter what and my mom has already said to me she would help me out with it.
The problem is, I'm having trouble finding a job and need help with that.
So thats my story for today.
With love,
Jessica

I finally told my aunt I didn't want her there when the baby is born. She threw the BIGGEST guilt trip at me. "This is important to me. It's like I told your mom, you can't take it back. Promise me you'll call me." Well, no shit I'll call you, but I thought that this was supposed to be important to me? All it is right now is a ton of anger and frustration. I told her I don't want anyone other than Becky in the room whether I have a c-section or actually deliver. This time I got, "Becky will be there. She wouldn't leave you. But I will too. I've done it before and I can help you." Honestly, "Everyone annoys the shit out of me and I don't want to deal with them at that time." But no... no... "I wont make a scene or anything. If I say anything I'll take them outside quietly."

Well, just in my own defense... and because she effectively made me feel like shit I feel the need to justify myself:

This is supposed to be something that changes my life blah blah blah. Well, whether it's some 'miracle' or I'm fucking irate and bitchy... I only want my best friend in the room. It's EXTREMELY personal, and I don't trust anyone else. With as much as I love Becky, and she's got me through so much of this already, I wouldn't have anyone else there to share the first moments of my daughters life. I want to have my own experience, which means not having them "help me", tell me what to do, share their horror stories with me, or say so much as one word to the nurses or dr's. I don't want anyone to "stand up" for me because I'm young. Not to mention that if I don't have a c-section, with my ptsd, it's going to be extremely emotionally nerve wracking. I just want this one time in my life to feel safe, and I know the only person that I can do that with is Becky. And yeah, I get upset with Becky a lot. I know things aren't perfect. I know she's not family or anything like that, but those things are put aside because I love her, and I know that she does love me (even when it doesn't feel like it sometimes.) I just want this to be okay, and I wish my family could respect me. There's only one person I trust. I'm sorry.

Even if I had a huge change of heart, and decided I wanted anyone else in the world around me, it would not be my aunt.

I'm sorry that you've all hurt me. I'm sorry that I'm ready to move on. and I'm sorry that I'm not willing to share my life with you anymore.

question

Thu, 15 Mar 2007 00:14:33 GMT

it hurts when i have sex. i cant figure out if its when i have an orgasm or sex in general. i am 14 weeks and a couple days pregnant. is this normal? i dont go back to the doctor until april 5, but i plan on asking them when i go. i was just wondering if anyone else had this same problem and if so, is it common? i have no bleeding or anything, just cramps afterwards. and they last about a half an hour.

Any comments about this would be greatly appreciated!! Thank you!

When I found out I was pregnant

Mon, 12 Mar 2007 04:24:00 GMT

Know what I felt when I found out that I was pregnant?

*BLANK*

Yeah that was what I felt. Everything in my world stopped... my dreams became blurry. Then after a while, it all set in. Fear towards my parents, fear about my future, confusion as to how I will be able to become a mom. All emotions settled in and I don't know how to react.

God must have really got all planned because everything went well. My parents accepted me, my boyfriend never left me and I have a beautiful son. I still can quite imagine myself having a child, I have never been a perfect sister, what more of a perfect mother! Well, I am not going to become perfect, I'll just try to be good. Become the mother that my son deserves and should have.

I am still now in school and is doing my best to have the quality education that I can get. I am doing this now, not only for my future but for the future of my child.

Though things are not perfect right now but I know that as long as I'll continue to fight, things will be good if not better.

This May Help Some..

Morning sickenss can keep you from getting the nutrients and energy you and your unborn baby need. Eat what you can and be sure to get enough fluids. You may find the following tips helpful.

Opt for cold dishes, which give off fewer aromas
Try dry, bland foods, such as crackers and popcorn
Eat small frequent meals and munch on small snacks throughout the day
Drink at least 8 to 10 glasses of fluids daily to avoid dehydration. Sip fluids frequently between rahter than with meals to avoid stomach fullness at meal times
Try drinking chilled or frozen fluids. Freeze drinks in ice cube trays or as popsicles
Avoid highly seasoned dishes.
Check with your doctor if you are having problems keeping food down.

Quick Question

Mon, 19 Feb 2007 20:05:53 GMT

With my last pregnancy I had my water broken by the doctor after I got my epidural so I don't know really what to look for when my water breaks.

I read that some girls have it gush and others just have it leak. If it is just a leak how can you tell its your water breaking, and how long does it leak for?? Is is on and off?

I've had some clear discharge the past 2 days along with some mild cramping. I've had cramping my entire pregnancy so far, so I don't know if it's something to be concerned about or not.

I'm a worry wort! :)

Update

Fri, 09 Feb 2007 19:11:22 GMT

I haven't been on here in awhile because I've been in and out of the hospital with this pregnancy. I got put on bedrest about a month ago and it's driving me crazy.

I found out that I have hypertension.. or maybe she called it something else.. I don't remember.. but it's when my blood pressure drops dangerously low and I pass out. I've had it for years, but I guess the pregnancy is making it worse and I can't take anything for it until I deliver her. I'm 27 weeks now, this is when I had my son. They did a test to see if I am going to go early again and it came out positive, that's why I'm on bedrest.

Anyways, I had a name picked out, Layla LeeAnn Summers, but turns out the middle name is my fiances nieces' middle name as well so he wants something different. I can't think of anything and I need some opinions, soon, it won't be too much longer until she is here. :)

The past couple of days I've had a constant pain in my stomach and back, and I have felt some stretching in my groin area.. it worries me, idk if I am being overly anxious because of how early my son was or if it's actually a sign of me going to go soon.. what do ya'll think?

Thank you for your opinions. Hope everyone has a wonderful pregnancy :)

Telling "the parents" (que evil scary music)

Wed, 07 Feb 2007 00:54:03 GMT

As I'm nearing the end of my first trimester, I guess it's time for me to tell my mom the news. I'm 20 years old and, although I'm still living with my mom while I'm finishing school, I'm far past the point of being "punished." I can do what I want, when I want (for the most part) with little say from my mom.. but I'm still terrified to tell her! I just don't know how to break the news. I am an only child and my mom has been a single parent for my whole life. We have a good relationship, in that we spend time together, but we don't do much TALKing. Any tips or advice on how I can approach the topic would be greatly appreciated!

Names, sex, and more...

Tue, 30 Jan 2007 03:40:37 GMT

We finally found out the sex of the baby, about two weeks or so ago I'd say, I just haven't been keeping up with all of my communities...bad on my part...sorry. Well, we're having a little.................GIRL!
I'm so excited to be having a little girl! That would be the sex part of my subject...lol...did you actually think that I was going to talk about my sex life online? I don't think so...that's pretty private to me still. Next is the names part...we couldn't decide between Lillian Rose or Lily Ann...we wanted her name to have Ann in it no matter what because that's my middle name, my mom's middle name, grandma's, and great grandma's...also Brandon's mom and his grandma's middle name...so needless to say, it means something to us to have the Ann in her name. Well, I left it up to Brandon to chose her name and he chose Lily Ann...which I like better than Lillian Rose, simply because we'd be calling her Lily for short no matter what. And now onto more...yesterday Brandon took me to Pottery Barn Kids and we ended up buying this stuff for Lily's nursery..we also got to bring it home yesterday too AND we put it all together last night, I just haven't gotten to take pictures of it all yet...but I hopefully will soon. We then went to my parent's house because they called saying that they had a surprise for us that just couldn't wait. Well, whenever we got there, they gave us a stroller/carseat combo for Lily. It's plaid with blue's and green's in it that are pastel colors and I love it all ready! They bought it at Target and couldn't wait for my baby shower to give it to us, so they decided to give it to us now, which I'm perfectly fine with!
