twinsi have 7 children my last two who are now six mths old are twin boys and i just found out im expecting twins again. my partner has been very supportive and he is the best ever. i am twenty nine years old my children range from age 11yrs to 6 mths. ive been blessed with a big family sarah My boysHi i just want to give everyone a little back ground on me and my life and how this all started . To be honest i have never told this story to anyone besides the people who were there to experience it with me and i will change the names of the people in the story for privacy reasons. Lets just say my name is stephanie and im turning 18 in about 6 months lets say my boyfriends name is john. We grew up together in a little town in norther california. He was my first kiss when i was only 4 and when we started the 7th grade he asked me to be his girlfriend and i said yes. It was purely innocent im sure you all know how it was in middle school the hand holdin and little kisses here and there. I do believe we dated for about a year and a half before sex even crossed our mind but twoards the end of our 8th grade year we had sex and yes we were both virgins. We were very careless and didnt use a condom but i didnt get pregnant. We had sex without a condom a couple more times and still nothing so we continued to do it that way. We had sex regulary probably once or twice a week. We lived next door to eachother so it was very easy for him to sneak into my room. And then on Agust 15,2008 I found out I was a little under a month pregnant and to me and my boyfriend it was shocking news but we were happy. You may ask yourself why my story is so long but for you to understand my life now you need all the details. Well me and john decide we wouldTell our parents separately and to me that was my greatest mistake. This part I'm about to tell you still bring tears to my eyes but it's a crucial part of my story. I remember it was. Two day after I found out abouty pregnancy may I remind you I had just turned 16 and I was just a child having a child not knowing if I was ready to be a mom but I knew I wasn't going to abort of give my child up for adoption( well later I found put it was 2) well that day I decided to tell my family and my father decided I wasn't going to have my baby no matter what so he dicided to push me down to the floor and kick me in the stomach I remember I shielded myself from his kicks as much as I could. his words are imprinted in mind the hatred with which he said that bastard wont be born no matter what even if I have to kill me to kill him. He kicked me for what seemed an eternity and then just left me on the grass in painwhile my sisters and mother just watched me in pain. I don't know how but I was able to reach for my phone and call john who rushed me to the hospital. I thank god everyday beacuse he save me and my children. I had a very complicated pregnancy but on march 23,2009 my 17 birthday I had two wonderfull baby boys they were both premature but they were alive and that's all that mattered. I named them Joshua and danny. Me and my boyfriend were lucky enough to have his parents support but to all who are out there reading my story I hope this reaches you in time beachse being a teen mom is very hard and I'm not saying my children are not a blessing from above beachse they are but if I would of had them four of five years from now thing would be so different. Me and john are children raising children there's no better way to explain it than that. I am missing out on so much And I know it so girls be careful just beachse your lucky a couple of times doesn't mean you will always be. It as your responsibility to make him wear a condom and even if you are on the pill still use a condom beachse you never know. Let my story be a lesson you don't want to be a 17 year old with two 6 month old babies mother hood is great but when you are mature enough to Handel it. I cry everynight beacuse I feel I won't be able to raise my children right beacuse I myself know little about life but to everyone who reads my story wish me luck sarah TWINSMy husband and I were married for one year when he decided he was ready for a baby, I had been ready for a long time but he was not and he is also 9 years younger than me. I already have two sons. I had a tubal ligation after my second son and did not want to go through the surgery of having a reversal. We went with IVF and I was pregnant after the first try. At 5.5 weeks I had my first ultrasound and we saw one embryo but no heartbeat. We went back at 7.5 weeks for a second ultrasound. There we saw two sacs and two heartbeats! We were in shock, to say the least. Anyhow, my pregnancy has been good except for the fact that I am placenta previa. I am now 34 weeks and have a scheduled c-section at my 36 week mark. I do and did have more of the normal pregnancy symptoms but nothing serious. I am very uncomfortable now and the babies are moving like crazy. The movements are much more uncomfortable than a singleton.Tracey You can still complete your dreams :)When i was just 16, i became pregnant with twins & i was horrified.I had been with my boyfriend for 18 months before i got pregnant, and we loved each other to bits. I was very lucky, as i had my family & my boyfriend's family support me. I gave birth to beautiful identical twin girls - Amy & Jessica, who are now 10 yrs old. I continued to go to school, then onto college, and then onto to university! I am now a fully qualified Nurse, and i have been married for 5 years to the father of my twins. I have an 8 month-old daughter Isabelle who has completed our little family. I pursued my career dreams even though i was a teen mum, and it was hard but you can do anything if you put your mind to it!! :) Louise THE WORSTI found out in june that I was pregnant and in the beginning I thought it wasn't going to be that hard to deal with. But at 6 weeks when I started having morning sickness I thought I was gonna die. I threw up everything including water, I went to the hospital at 6 weeks, 7 weeks, 8 weeks and 10 weeks. At 7 weeks they did a ultra sound and they saw two sacs. That explained why I was going thru hell. Then my doctor made me do routine test and I did the glucose test and found out I have diabeties the one you get when your pregnant which added to the list of probelms. Now I'm 12 weeks and still havin bad morning sickness, I'm not even showing and can't wait till there here so it can be over.Jessica A Page: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41 |
