It all started when my mom brought me the OB last February 16, 2010. She kinda new that I'm pregnant and she wants to confirm it. The OB was a family friend and the same OB who attended her delivery to me and my youngest brother. The OB asked me a few questions and hand me over the Pregnancy Test Kit and was told to go to the bathroom, etc. tsk, tsk, tsk. I'm kinda nervous thinking what if it turns positive, what am I gonna do. I'm just 18 that time and I'm not yet finish schooling. So we waited for a minute or two to see the results and... OMG! it's POSITIVE! I dunno what I'm going to feel. It's a sort of mixed emotions. I'm happy because I'm going to be a mother, and I'm always dreaming of cuddling a cute little bundle of joy in my arms. I'm scared on how will my parents react if they're going to know that I'm pregnant. And of course, I'm afraid that my BF would left me if he will know that I'm pregnant. We're not yet ready to be parents because we are not financially stable.
The OB told my mom about the results and said that we should keep the baby. The three of us both know that I'm still a teenager and most teens of my age are making decisions of aborting the baby. Then off we go to a restaurant to eat lunch. My mom is not talking with me, I'm expecting this to happen because I know she'll be really mad at me because I'm pregnant. But, to my amazement she told me that I should keep the baby. That she will help me in all the expenses and in taking care of my child.
I love my LO's daddy so much and I'm very happy that we're going to have a baby. I decided that I should keep the baby for it is God's blessing for us. I'm very blessed that I am going to have a baby since there are many couples out there who really wanted to have a child but can't have one. While there are so many teen moms like who got pregnant but most of them opted to have their babies aborted. Just because, they're not ready to be parents.
I maybe 18 that time I got pregnant. Most people would still consider me immature and irresponsible. But despite my age, I can say that I know what I'm doing, I know what the consequences of my actions are and I can be responsible enough to face that consequences.
I'm proud to be a teen mom. I don't deny it to others that I got pregnant at 18. And I gave birth to my precious little boy at age of 19. I believe that there's nothing to be ashamed of if your a teen mom. The important thing is I never opted to have my son aborted. And I responsibly faced all the consequences of my actions.
And here I am, blogging right now my wonderful journey through motherhood. I want others to know that even I am a teen mom, even if I don't have a job yet, even if I cannot yet afford to give all the expensive things here in the world for my baby. I will love him with all that I can and be here for him always. Irresponsible and Immature as what other people think of me, I believe that I can be a good mother to my child.
I hope in this humble blog of mine, I could inspire people.
Enjoy reading my blog!
