Its going to be hard.. but we’re doing it!!💪🏻🤰🏼

So on December 26th it came to my attention that I had missed my period by a few days... 😕avoiding the fact I could’ve been pregnant I carried on celebrating the holidays, putting it all aside so I didn’t have to deal with the news. 🤦🏼‍♀️ Being 17 and having a hopeful future ahead of me meant that the news was going to come down on me like a bombshell. My boyfriend of 3 years knew I was avoiding the truth so went and bought me a test himself, trying to reassure me that everything would be ok!

After taking the test January 2nd and getting the bfp it felt like my whole world came tumbling down.. 🤕 Will my family disown me? Do I want to carry on this pregnancy? Should I deal with it alone and not tell anyone?? Everything just seemed to be against me and I spent the next month in my own bubble very upset and depressed. When I finally came to tell my mum, I got the best reaction I could’ve asked for, she comforted me and supported me, and was the best shoulder for me to cry on and make a decision. Me being stupid I thought I wasn’t strong enough to have a baby because of my age, so booked myself in for a termination (my head thought this was for the best) but my heart knew different, I arrived at the hospital and collapsed into a ball of tears and regret knowing I didn’t want this...

A few weeks past and it finally became real that this baby was the best thing I could possibly have in my life, I have the most supportive family and the best boyfriend I could wish for. If I could give him all the praise in the world I would, his family also being amazing! He’s too only 17 but he’s acted like a mature adult, helping me and guiding me throughout the pregnancy!

We’re 22 weeks down the line, with a healthy little boy on the way. He’s honestly going to be the best thing that’s happened to us, and all the family can’t wait to meet you😍 we knew all along that you were going to stay with us, and I should never have been selfish enough to think different. Age really isn’t an object, the mother of a child could be 17 or 30, at the end of the day it’s how you bring up and care for your child. I I know damn will my little boy is going to be the best I could possibly make him, no matter what barriers try to stop us 👨‍👩‍👧
