Babies Having Babies

My life as a teenager would in short be approach shot to an end and my life as mommy would be approaching up faster then expected. It all started June 10th 2012, my family and I had expert finished eating our dinner celebrating my achievement of substantiateting my GED. I had acquire cards, gifts, and even approximately money from my family members for finally receiving this GED after being bulge of school for my senior year. Everybody was so happy for me even my dad, which was not a very common emotion for him to express towards me. Unfortunately their happiness would soon be long gone.For it was the night before this that I had five various tests all of which said the same thing in different ways, I was gravid. I was not make up for this kind of responsibility. I was not ready physically, emotionally, and financially to take care of even myself yet now I had to get wind a way to provide all of those things for a small fry. I was nevertheless seventeen, turning eighteen in July I was still a child myself. To many people I would be viewed as a delinquent because of getting gravid. On the former(a)(a) hand, others might have seen this coming since my mom in like manner had me at a young age.Many also recall all teens who get pregnant leave alone fail. Although these beliefs and views from others were in my head at the time, I knew I needed to tell my family I was pregnant, find forbidden how far on I was, and make a life ever-changing decision. When I decided to tell my mom and stepdad I was terrified. I was so scared they would shun me and tell me they didnt want me to live with them and they wouldnt be supportive. I was also afraid my mother would be spoil in me for following in her footsteps.To my surprise, their reaction was actually the opposite of that. They didnt judge me at all. In event they both hugged me and reassured me that everything would be okay and we would all get finished this together, like family should. After utter my mom and stepdad I felt a weight lifted mangle my shoulders because I knew I had the support I needed. My dad on the other hand was not as supportive. He judged me right away and told me I was just trying to be like the people on the shows teenager Mom and 16 and Pregnant.He also told me he was disappointed and pretty untold shunned me from his life just as he had did to my mom when she was pregnant with me. I was so upset he automatically assumed I was pregnant because of shows on the T. V. However I was even more upset he treated me the same way he treated my mom. My own father, along with many other people, believed I was influenced by people and things around me to pop off pregnant. Although my dad and other people viewed me as a disgrace and a copy cat, I didnt let that affect me because I had other things to worry roughly. One of which was how far along I was.My mom already was way ahead of me for this situation and already called for an appointment with Mayo Clinic to find out how far along I was and to meet my doctor. When we finally went to the trial run room, after countless minutes in the waiting room, the nurse revealed to me that I was eight weeks pregnant. After she went by about forty questions asking about my health she began telling me about services that would help me. Such as social workers, the WIC program, public health nurses, and counseling groups for young mothers. She also had me do a number of tests to see if I was on medicates or below the influence of some sort.My mom was a subatomic skeptical of this because when she was pregnant with my younger sisters, at a far older age than me, the doctors and nurses did not offer her all these programs nor did they make her take as many drug tests. So the fact that I was a teenager who was pregnant the medical professionals needed to offer these sorts of programs and do those tests. They believed out of most pregnant women that teens will need the most help so they do not fail. I w as a teenager and was going to become a teenage mother. The ruling of that still gives me shivers to this day.Maybe I did need the extra help to lower the chances of failing. level off though these thoughts of failing were present I wanted to look into the other pickaxes I had. For the first preference adoption, I knew this would be a amend opportunity to find a family that was more than capable of raising my child and giving it a better life than I could. This option would also give me the opportunity to better my life by going through school without having to worry about a crying baby. However I knew people who have done adoption and they seemed so sad and downcast that their child called some other woman their mom.This made me reconsider the option because I was afraid of just that seeing my child calling some other family theirs. For the second option abortion, I knew that this would be an easy way out. This would be the best way to forget about the whole situation yet i t was also wrong and a cruel thing to do. If I were to get an abortion I would not only throw myself into the wagon of unwholesome people and killers but I would get judged by every mortal who knew of my pregnancy. Since adoption and abortion were both a no go, I only had one option left to raise the baby myself.This idea excite me, and I even went back and tried to convince myself that adoption would be a better option. Raising a baby would be disagreeable and very difficult but the outcome would be worth it. So maybe I could be able to raise a child, I had the support of my family, had a job, and also had enough programs to help me through it all. any of which would lower the chances of me failing. Now all i needed was the little express in my head to say you can do it. To this day that little voice is screaming those four words louder than ever.Even though others view me as a misfit, disgrace, or a follower to those around me I accredit I will do the best I can perchance do to not fail, and to also provide my son with the chance of a good life. By getting the support from at least some of my family members, finding out how far along I was, and choosing the right option to take I know I can make it through this. I was going to be a teenage mother but I am enrolled in fall courses at RCTC, working nutrition service at Mayo Clinic, and basically growing up for the pursuit of my childs future therefore I could in fact do it, I could raise a child on my own.
