When I was 19 I started getting really sore boobs for the first time and didnt understand why. We went to my boyfriends mums house later that day and she told us she had a dream I was pregnant and I should do a test anyways. I was told I would never be able to have my own children after an extremely bad diagnosis on endometriosis and countless surgeries, I decided just to do the test for peace of mind. I thought a saw a very faint line just had to edit the image just to see it. I posted the photo onto this app. Almost every comment said it looked too faint to be positive. I had one older lady tell me I was stupid and delusional. I almost deleted this app that day. After a few weeks the lines on the test were no darker so I got a blood test. I received a phone call a few days later saying my HCG was incredibly low and I was experiencing a miscarriage. I was told to do another test 24 hours later just to confirm. I got a call after the second test letting me know that my HCG had more then tripled. Not long after that I went through something horrible. I was rushed to hospital and my boyfriend was taken to jail. I thought I'd lose my baby. I was on bedrest for about 3 months of my pregnancy fighting for my baby that I always wished for. I always wanted a son so finding out I was having a boy was so exciting. As the day got closer more and more of my friends and family started to ghost. I felt like everyone was against me. Except for one of my friends from highschool. He came over to watch movies, went for walks with me when i was able to and even showed up as my support person in hospital. On the 10th of March 2023 my beautiful son Hunter was born.

Eventually I started dating my mate from school and we became a happy family together. He'd been the only person who stuck with me through everything for the past 8 years.

Now my son is two and an amazing big brother to his new little sister and I couldnt be happier. Now whenever someone tells me I cant do something or it feels like the world is against me, I think about this and how everyone told me I couldnt have a baby, I wouldn't make a good parent at 19 and that my son and I wouldnt survive a horrible experience. Yet my life has never been better.
