" 1. after i took what seems like hundreds of pregnancy tests i walked into my moms room in the middle of the night and just blurted it out. i was going to wait but i figured her input was the most important when making my choices.

2. so far my life is already pretty tough and im only 3 months along! but this is really only cause i've been having a lot of trouble with morning sickness and being exhausted throughout most of the day, which makes going to school an extremely tedious thing to do.

3. this baby was not planned, though that doesn't mean that i will love it any less then if i had planned its arrival. babys are a miracle and most teenage girls see this as a disaster, a war is a disaster! a baby is a gift!

4. so far not much has changed for me but only because very few people know and i'm not showing yet. but im sure that the people who do know are looking at me differently, but that's okay, its expected. "

" my older sister ratted me out to my parents. its been difficult but being a mom is a great experience, but i would recommend waiting till school is done. my baby wasnt planned but me and my bf did stupid stuff that technically would mean he was planned. everything has changed. the relationship with my bf, my outlook on life, no more sleeping in, no more hanging out. stuff like that.

" 1) I told my foster parents when I was about 8wks
2) besides the mourning sickness, sore boobs, and fatigue not that bad but then again i am only 16wks along.
3) no my baby was not planned but i still love this little one inside me
4)i dont that anything has really changed so far except for the growing of my belly as i started showing a few weeks. "

" I just kind of blurted it out to my mom when i was about 5 weeks along on new years eve.

Its been difficult, but its also amazing being a mommmy. I also was very lucky to have the full support of my boyfriend, my family, & his family.

My daughter was not planned, but she was definitly a blessing in disguise.

My whole life has changed. I devote all of my time to my daughter and taking care of here. I rarely get time alone. But no matter what its worth it. I love my little girl more than anything in the world. "

" 1. I told my Mom by text message because she is an alcoholic and I did not want to face emotional abuse when I told her. I felt like I would have had to endure needless name calling had I told her in person.
2. It has been difficult, no doubt. I've had way more stress than I would have had I not gotten pregnant. I've had to search for a stable place to live, and make plans for the next few years.
3. My child was not planned, I was taking birth control.
4. I have moved since I got pregnant, I have stopped smoking, I have lost friends, my relationship with my mom has gotten worse, and I have had more stress. I have also gotten to enjoy those moments where you hear your baby's heartbeat and see them sucking their thumb on the ultrasound. "

" Wow it was funny, sum jerk called my mom and was like so hows her pregnancy going lol. and as much as i would liek to find that person and put there head threw a wall im happy with my life. my daughter is going to be 2 years old, i got married to her father 3 months ago after our 4 year aniversary, and yesterday we found out were pregnant again and it has been pretty easy, well i geuss im not the average teen expected of type parent or w/e but we never ended up on welfare, my mom took my first and this pregnancy happily, i finished high school with a graduation. the only thing that changed for me is the fact my life is so much happier now.
