My Story

Mommy
Well I don't have a birth story since I'm still pregnant, but I just turned 19 back in April and I'm 26 weeks with twins. I'm in an online relationship and had a fwb arrangement with two of my exes, since I was in Mid East Canada and he's in far west US so we to this day have never met. But I broke things off with both of them when the relationship got serious and he proposed, since I used to have very little faith in online relationships after watching my friend slowly fall apart while in one. And due to the timing of everything, it would have been the last time I had sex with either of them (which is ironic since my fiancé had a kid with his ex from the last time they had sex, which they broke up shortly after and he didn't know), but it's so close together I don't even know who it is. I moved across Canada back in January and my now fiancé tried to move here to be with me, but he didn't make it across the border. The last few months have been so hard, and I was depressed for a long time because he didn't make it here, and it took forever to find a job despite me applying everywhere I could. If I hadn't found out I was pregnant when I did, I don't know if I'd be here right now. Once I did have a job I pushed myself so far every day that I had trouble walking to the bathroom for the rest of the night because of how much pain I was in from my feet, legs, hips, and back. But even though I was pushing myself so hard, I was still too slow for the fast paced environment and both my boss and my father were saying I wasn't trying hard enough because of it. My boss didn't know I was pregnant and I couldn't tell anyone at work because I hadn't been working long and I was scared of getting fired over it. I've had to keep everything a secret so long and when I would talk about it, people would judge me for being young, for having sex with not one but two guys while in a relationship, for being in an online relationship, and every other thing you can think of. My mother gave me so much crap about 'forcing the man I love into raising another mans children' but he wanted to because he wants to be a part of my life and he already loves them so much. I've never been well off financially, and I grew up on welfare under a single mother, and now I'm about to go on welfare until things can be stabilized and my fiancé can come here. I'm so happy because I've always wanted twins, I just wish they had been conceived under better circumstance...
