Teen pregnancy
I am a 16 year old , I'm starting my sophomore year of high school. And by the topic , I am a newly teen mom. I found out I was pregnant 2 weeks ago.
My chances of having a baby were very slim which i guess is the reason I was so uncareful. My boyfriend was told he couldn't have kids do to having cancer in his balls. And I suffered with an infection for 8 months in my lower areas, which doctors said slimmed my chances cuz my reproductive organs were damaged. I even started to believe it when we had sex so many times for 4 months and nothing happened . And then after he graduated I got sick. I was throwing up , I couldn't eat. I finally went to the hospital after 3 weeks from puking for the third time on a Sunday . I had a urine sample done . And I was shocked. I couldn't believe I had let myself become a young mother . I always said I wouldn't put myself in that position and I did . I know I cried for a week and I still am . I feel like I failed myself , I almost came to the thought to get rid of my unborn child . I've decided to keep it , and I will continue to push through my last 3 years old school and go on with my life with my child by my side . I've been thinking that this isn't the end of my life , this is just the beginning . And no matter what happens I'll always love that child with all my heart.
Since this is my first baby I am beyond scared .
Does anyone whose been in these shoes have any advice for me ? It would be greatly appreciated, I am trying my best
