The semester already started before I realize that I was pregnant. And never believe that I was pregnant.

The father was a one night stand so I didn't have his phone number and when I finally did reach him and I spit out the words "I'm pregnant", he ran. I have never felt so alone.

After two long years of trying, I finally got pregnant. My husband and I were so excited on the exterior but I was secretly nervous. Looking back, I am not sure that I was really ready to become a mother, even after it had taken so long to get pregnant. One month after having found out I was expecting, I suffered a devastating miscarriage. I was so heartbroken and could not understand why I was going through

This day all started at Spring River, and I remember it like it was yesterday. January 2013 my family and I were going to spring river, like we do almost every weekend, but today was a very special day. My sister's boyfriend was going to propose, and we were going to have a big party for them, until my sister started to get morning sickness and wasn’t feeling good at all. So we asked her if she had eaten anywhere that she might have gotten food poisoning or if she didn't feel good the night before. Then i remember out of silence i asked her if she was pregnant. My mom and dad looked at me then her and asked her “Well are you?” And my sister admitted that she thought she was but took a pregnacy test and it showed negative so she thought she

It all started towards the end of my Junior year in highschool. I was sixteen at the time living your average teenage girl life, then BOOM!!! I was sixteen and pregnant. I was terrified to tell my mom because I knew it would disappoint her and she would be very upset with me. I knew I would eventually have to tell her. I told her I was having

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

On March 14 of last year, my husband and I welcomed our beautiful little girl into the world. It was not an ideal arrival, and we certainly were not prepared for the inevitable chain of events that would occur. I remember the setting with such clarity and precision that it seems somehow unreal; a figment of an overactive imagination. It was around 11:20PM and I had been in labor for 17 hours. We were anxiously awaiting the moment we would finally get to meet our little girl. At 11:46PM, the doctor told me to give one more big push. I was so exhausted but determined to do my best, there was a reward at the end of this marathon. A nurse pushed my husband out of the way and jumped on top of my stomach. It was such a dramatic event, it seemed

First of all, found I was pregnant I was so shocked with weird looking expression on my face. I was nineteen years old with no type of financial stable, home, car, school. Actually in May 2007 I was had no signs of pregnancy, I eat all the time all day everyday so I was not thinking I was pregnant with baby in my stomach. I knew when I did not get my monthly visitor every month their was a problem. I went to the doctor and took a pregancy test. At home I was watching television, I was pretty sure everything would be fine I told myself that. The phone rang I ran out my room so fast to grab the phone I said hello. On the other end of the phone the nurse tells me is this, Tamika Thomas I said yes this is me’’ I like to inform you my gut began to twisted up she said the words that forever

Since I was a little girl it has been my dream to be a mother. The idea of being able care and nurture for my own child meant the world to me. Over the years I babysat and nannied for multiple families filling my ‘baby craze’. As a young woman; it never crossed my mind that I'd actually become a mother so soon. I thought I had everything going for me with my education and working in my field of study. Being in the oblivion of my tunnel vision, in the height of working full time,going to school full time and dating my husband; I felt so sick but was too busy to figure out the truth so I dealt with it. Day in and day out I experienced no appetite and morning sickness without making the connections. The first doctor's opinion was concluded to be an underactive thyroid. After that method not working I decided to get a second opinion. When I heard those famous words ‘you're pregnant’ a swarm of mixed emotions flew upon me. I knew for sure I wanted to keep this baby I had longed for my whole life- but I was afraid! I was afraid of being a disappointment to all of my family and to myself. At my first OB appointment I met the most wonderful woman- Jennifer Guthrie who assured me that I truly had become a mother. Hearing the heartbeat of my unborn child for the first time, filled my heart with joy and my eyes full of tears! Keeping quiet about such a huge secret was the hardest to hold in.. I received just the reaction from family that I had anticipated. At this time

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.

"Could life get any worse?" As I said to myself. It was just the news I needed before I started summer vacation. Dr. Judy Kanz broke the news that I am borderline diabetic due to my weight being extremely high. From time to time I recall eavesdropping on my Nina 's conversations about her diabetes. It was known that the disease runs in my family but for myself to be right there, it was a good enough scare to take my health seriously. This required dieting, exercising and doing things that I have never done before. On top of all that, I was battling a severe depression.

Some of the best years of your life are supposedly in Middle School. For me it was some of the worst years of my life. I did a lot things that ended up getting me expelled. In that moment the principal said those words I knew that had lost my family’s trust and respect. I felt disappointment and anger within myself. Whenever I think and look back at my mistakes I use that frustration as a drive to do better in school. I learned that surrounding myself with the wrong group of people can change who you are and how people look at you in their perspective. Also the most important thing that I learned is that not being yourself and just following others will make you a nobody.

The end of my senior year in high school I remember being unbelievably sick, not the normal cough and cold sick either. It was more of an unceasing fever, my body was in a constant cold sweat, and the only thing I could stomach was Chick-fil-a’s chicken noodle soup. Shortly after I went in for a doctor’s appointment where I was told I had a virus that would go away within a week. Two weeks after I was thankfully feeling better with an occasional nauseous sickness. A few days followed and my boyfriend at the time surprised me with a pregnancy test. He asked if I would take it to ease his nerves due to my symptoms. So of course I took it, though every inch of me was in a panic waiting for my result. I remained in the bathroom holding my test not allowing my eyes to wander from the little screen on the white plastic stick in my hands. With my eyes peeled a single
