A few weeks later, I found out that I was pregnant. I was only nineteen years old and still in school. My mother was shocked and angry, while my father took the news with more control. He told me that the fact that I was pregnant was not going to allow me to drop out of school again and that if I was to have the baby, I had to show responsibility by finishing my degree. So I did, with great results too. My family was proud of me for finishing school, and everybody was eager to meet the new baby coming to the family. When my boyfriend came back for his rest and recuperation time, we celebrated our wedding. After that, he left again, and I delivered our baby with my mother by my side. When my husband came back from Iraq he was angry, violent and awful towards me. I was young, a pretty girl and the typical traditional Italian woman who cleans, cook and cares for her child. It didn’t take me long to understand that he was poison for the marriage. At the same time, I didn’t know how to cope with the situation, and I was frequently crying. I remember writing a journal to try to keep track of the days that he was not awful to me,or that I didn’t cry, just to cling to the hope that it may pass and work out. As a consequence, I had become insecure of myself and scared. The thing I regret the most is the time I wasted over trying to fix a broken relationship, taking precious time away from my beautiful baby. As expected, my husband was discharged from the Army for Post Traumatic
The nurse cut my umbilical cord, and I was placed on my mother’s chest. I was weighed at 7 pounds 3oz and 18 inches. With tears in her eyes, my mother met the new love of her live. Me! She thanked God for blessing her with a healthy baby girl. I was surround with love from family member at visited. My mother stated, “ I wouldn’t change a thing, giving birth was the best experience of my
I was born in Kaiser Permanente at night. My mom said that my aunt drove her to the hospital. During that time my dad was at work. My mom said that I took the longest to be born and that I was the hardest to be born. My mom didn’t know my gender so it was a surprise when they found out I was a girl. I weighed about 7 pounds and I was about 20 inches tall. She also said that i was a clean baby and that I had smooth skin. She was happy when I was born but it wasn’t very emotional when she first held me because she already had 4 children before me. When my mom found out that she was pregnant she told my siblings so it was no secret. She told me that my dad had chose my name.
One of my friends in high school got pregnant in her sophomore year. She and the father decided to keep the baby, got married and just celebrated their 10th anniversary. They both finished college and have good jobs now. It just goes to show that people can overcome teen pregnancy and become successful parents.
We had just celebrated the new year, a sign of new beginnings. The past fall my mother and I had a fight and were only communicating on a need to know. I had a boyfriend at the time, we had been dating for almost two years. I loved him and he loved me and I felt like nothing could ever go wrong, boy was I wrong. It was a cold morning, I woke up feeling strange but I could not quite figure out why. Jacob, my boyfriend, was the one who put the idea in my head. A couple hours later my life had went from just a normal nineteen year old, to being a nineteen year old facing being a mother. I was pregnant and there was nothing I could do to change that. Telling my parents, especially my mother was nearly impossible, “[a]nd after seeing my mother’s disappointed face once again, something inside of me began to die” (Tan 321).
This pregnancy began with many nausea and sadness. I went to my doctor every month for my routine check ups. When I had four moths pregnant the doctor sent me to do a sonogram and that day the doctor informed that my baby was a girl I could not believe it. That day I was the happiest mother in the word I because I was waiting for that little girl since my first pregnancy. I thought I would never be able to have a girls because in my family were more boys than girls. For me I felt that I was dreaming, so I did not tell my husband any thing about the baby’s gender. My husband was helping me with my other two children helped in the housework, gave me massages, and he spoiled me with special meals.
I had went from a good girl to a bad girl. I would get in fights for no reason at all. I did get suspended but never got expelled from school. I love going to school but it seams like every time i try to do good, their was some girls meassing with my plans. By the time i turned 14 i find out that im pregnant. I didn't know what to do, or how to tell. I tell my best friend her name was Jordan. We were friends since fourth grade. I tell her i'm pregnant and that i was scared. I decided that i was going to hide it from my parents. Come to find my friend Jordan, was pregnant too. She was dating my brother Luis, she was far along than i was. Wen i was almost 3 months pregnant, i decided to tell my parents. I was really scared to tell my dad, i knew my mom wouldn't make a big drama about it. But my dad it seam like he wanted to choke me. The time pass and it was almost time for me to be due. My mom made me a baby shower on November 03,2008, it was the biggest baby shower i ever went to. I got a lot off gifts for the baby, the shower lasted on till one in the morning.On November 05,2008 i delivered my 6 pounds 2oz baby girl Ana Perez. Every body and me were glade she came out healthy.After my dad was mad, he now loves my little girl. He treats her like his own daughter, and she loves him too.
On May 26th , 2007 I graduated from Cloverdale High School and received my diploma. At six months of my pregnancy I got married to the father of my unborn second child. We lived with his parents while saving for our own home. We were saving to buy or rent a home when our car was totaled. We had the decision of a new car, or saving for a home. We really needed our own place, so my mother said she would co-sign for us a car and pay the down payment as long as we promised to make every payment on time.
Many thoughts came to mind; especially how would I raise a child if I was only 16 years old. Also my boyfriend had barely had graduated from school and had no job, but the thing that was bothering me the most is my parent’s reaction and what would they say. Eventually my boyfriend and I had the courage to tell my parents about it seeing their faces I just knew they weren't pleased. Who would want their teenage daughter getting pregnant at such a young age, but eventually my parents accepted the fact of me being pregnant. Also, my boyfriend moved in with me and found a job at Quincy. I didn’t know
When I was sixteen years old I got pregnant with my first son. I was so scared. Before I found out I was pregnant I was sitting in the living room watching Green Acres with my mom. My step dad came home and walked through the front door and automatically said to my mom as he set his things down on the kitchen table, he said “go to the store and get Neiska a pregnancy test, she is pregnant.” I said, “What no! I am not pregnant.” So he said, “look at her, she is pregnant. She is glowing. I know that kind of glow.” So my mom said, “Ok.” So we got up off the couch and she said, “Come on Neiska lets go.” So we got in the hoopty and went to Wal-Mart. On the way there to Wal-Mart, actually that was before it was a Wal-Mart, it was actually a K-Mart
The day I woke up to this soon to be life changing turn of events, I thought it was just going to be a normal day with my mom, not doing anything out of the ordinary or particularly special. I woke up late in the morning, like I always did on a morning in the summer time, and did nothing all day. I was just doing the usual things a twelve year old girl did in the summer: watch television, eat junk food and play on my phone. I was at my mom’s that day, but I was going to my dad’s house later that day to stay for the weekend. Mom and dad usually met up somewhere later in the day around four or five in the afternoon.

On March 30, as of three thirty in the morning, my life has officially changed. The labor pains had set in and it was time to have a baby. I had never felt a pain so excruciating in my life, and I thought that cramps were terrible, labor pains do not even compare. I climbed the stairs to my aunts room to let her know that it was time to go to the hospital. After watching her run around the room frantically she finally was able to rush me to the hospital. She zoomed through street lights rushing for fear that I may have the baby in the car and she would pass out. Had
At first, finding out I was pregnant was a devastating shock to not only myself but everyone around me. I was only eighteen and was a senior in high school. I had such high expectations for myself.
as accepting. Time passed and our baby was born. That was the day I will ever forget, it was crazy. I could remember just constantly waking up that night because Loera kept having pain in her abdomen and I constantly kept falling asleep. She finally woke me and my mother up after a while and we were all afraid when she had mentioned it and decided to head to the closest hospital.
Telling my family about the pregnancy was going to be one of the most petrifying things I’d ever had to do. I honestly know how to know to tell them or who I was going to tell first, I was nervous about what the outcome would be. Telling my child’s father was first though. Moreover, me and my family finding out the news, he had been in a juvenile detention center. When we would be on the phone I would
