1. I told my Mum over the phone when I was 12 weeks pregnant. I was terrified but it wasn't nearly as bad as I expected it to be. Although she was very shocked
2. It has been really diffficult although I am lucky and have the full support of my b/f I suffered from depression during my pregnancy and it got alot worse afterwards. But my son is WONDERFUL and I would not change him for the world!! 3. My baby was not planned, I fell pregnant whilst using the contraceptive patch. 4. Everything has changed, everything is about my son now. I get very little time to myself, I'm always tired and I have no money but its all worth it to see him smile and hear him giggle :-) Hope this helps... Can I ask why you want to know these answers? xx

1. How did you tell your parents?
I actually lost my first born, and by the time I got up enough courage to tell my mother, I was expecting again. So I wrote her a letter and explained everything, past, present, and future. 2. How hard has it been? I have two beautiful baby boys, a 10 month old and a 2 week old. Both have given me joy and pain in life, but I'm pressing through. 3. Were your babies planned? None of my children were planned, but all were and are loved unconditionally. 4. What all has changed? I am now a married mother of two, trying to go to school part-time as well as bring in money for the family. However, I have had to learn to put my children and husband before myself in every way, shape, and form.

1) I told my mom over the phone, from school, when I was 2 months pregnant. I only waited that long because I didn't even know myself until a week before that.
2) It has been INSANELY difficult. I would love to tell you how much easier it is now or whatever, but really it isn't. I cry all the time, constantly pick fights with my mom over stupid things, and I'm so far past stressed out it's not even funny. HOWEVER, Just from the calm times, when I sit by myself and feel my son kicking or rolling over, having hiccups... I know it'll all be worth it. 3) My baby wasn't planned. He was actually planned against. I was pregnant for a few days before starting birth control (I hadn't been pregnant long enough for the test at the clinic to come up positive). I had also taken plan B. 4) My entire brain has changed. I think so much differently now. I can't even explain it... It's like I'm still the same old me.. Just... More sane? I suppose that's the best way to put it. [PS: Just in case I forgot to mention it, my son isn't born yet. I'm actually in the middle of trying to figure out if I'm gonna go into labor or not right now! xD)

1. i told my mom over a text message, while i was at the mall and she was drinking, she already had the gut feeling so she didnt freak out like i expected, and she told my dad the following morning while i was at school so he wouldnt come after me or the father:))
2. it really hasnt been that hard, there are somedays that i am in bad pain, plus i have been on a rollercoaster ride with my babies father we werent together when he was conseeved but now we are and have a really tight relationship, but we cant wait till september 18th to have our little boy:)) 3.My baby was wayy not planned, i mean we knew the risks we were taking, not on birthcontrol, no condoms, and he never pulled out, i juss figured i would make sure i would do it when i wasnt ovulating, but obviously that dont work...and it was the hardest thing telling your best friend you were pregnant with his baby 3.Everything i could possibly imagin has changed, my body, my outlook on life, school, so so much even though i am just pregnant all the me me me attention has now gone down the drain, but when i feel him move i know i made a right decission in keeping him, and i dont care about the me me me attention anymore. my advice and i know its not what you want to hear but i would wait to have a baby until you are financially stable and are married, cause it $17,000 just for the hospital bill, plus you have the doc appts, and the clothes, diapers, etc... and wait till your married with someone cause you never know when that babies father is going to be there, you have to remember that the father can walk away at anytime, but you cant, thats the best advice i would give, im sorry its not what you want to hear but i hope it helps alittle:))

how did you tell your parents?
I set out my positive pregnancy test out in the open and let them figure the rest out. how hard has it been? supprisingly, its been much easier than i thought, other than my crazy mood swings and constant worrying if my baby is ok in there! were your babies planned? Nope what all has changed? i have settled down a lot, i want the best for my baby, so that means i keep my self away from anyone who i wouldnt want around my baby, everyone tells you how much your life is going to change and how its going to be so hard..etc. But getting pregnant, even at my extremly young age, has made me a better and more mature person. And i already love my baby more than words can explain! I wasnt shocked when i found out i was pregnant though, my boyfriend and i were just going with the flow, "if it happens, it happens.." you know? I got pregnant after 2 months.

1. I was 100% open with her and told her i was 2 weeks late. Shes the one who acutallt bought the home test. She told my dad.
2.I had an amazing support system. I wish all young moms could have what I did. But even though I had a ton of support, it was still hard. 3.The only of my kids who was planned was my 3 month old (im 24 now). 4. everything is about my daughters now. and i couldnt be happier

1. I don't live with my parents anymore but I got preg last year and lost it and i waited till I was 10 weeks and my mom asked me because of the way I was acting lol
2. It really hasn't been that hard this time were really enjoying it and looking forward to our little one(: 3.Our baby was planned. When we lost our last one it broke our heart and we wanted to try for another one. 4. Just have to think about the baby and not just yourself. we also have to think about how much money we should be saving for him/her to give it a good life. I always felt that it was my place in this world to be a mother. age doesn't matter its how you deal with things. be mature and be in a settled relationship before you get pregnant. me and my bf are going on 4 years and we know this is what we want.
