Who would have thought that I'd become a mother at sixteen years old? I certainly did not. A lot changed from the time I found out I was pregnant, to the time I gave birth. I found out I was pregnant on a cold, snowy day. As scared as I had been, I knew that it was time to be responsible and make the best of my upcoming situation. Fifteen weeks had passed and, finally, I found out that my bundle of joy is, in fact, a girl! About five weeks later, I decided to go shopping for baby girl clothes, a crib, and a car seat. By that time, I had been twenty-five weeks along in my pregnancy, and I was ever so anxious to meet my daughter. Luckily, I had school and babysitting to distract me and help pass the time. Next thing that I knew, It was time for…

Also, having the baby with me gave my parents a perspective on what it would be like to have a grandchild. Waiting for the right time to be a parent is very important. My parents weren’t used to hearing a baby cry around our house so it gave them a reality check. Just having the baby for 4 days was very overwhelming, stressful process…
I can still remember the day the doctors told me I was pregnant. That immediate sense of fear swallowed me whole and time seemed to stand still. It was not until a couple of months later that I realized there was no changing the situation and that I needed to make the very best of it. Finding out I was pregnant started out as a very scary experience but ultimately was one of the most positive and rewarding experiences I have ever endured. After the fear settled a little bit I was able to really start thinking about my life and what I needed to change. Up until that day at the doctors I was living day by day doing what I needed to do for me and no one else. I had no job, I was living with my parents and my only source of excitement came from the local bar rooms late at night. I knew things needed to change and I set out on a mission to make that change happen. Alone and afraid I was able to swallow my pride and ask my family for help and the guidance to get my life back on track before this baby entered our world. All through my pregnancy I knew I loved my unborn son more than I have ever loved anything in this world. I knew that my life was no longer mine…
When I first found out I was pregnant my family and friends were very shocked. After they dealt with being shocked that's when all the relationships began to change. The most dramatic changed was from my family. They were so disappointed in me. They wanted me to finish school first and get married. It was also frowned upon in my religion to have sex before marriage. Than there was the part of my family that was happy. They were happy I didn't do anything stupid like having an abortion. The person that mattered to me the most was my mom. She did not take the news lightly and I didn't blame her. Even though she was hurt and disappointed she made sure she gave me a lot of support. After that my mother and I became much closer. We always talked about the baby. She would rub my belly. She would also give me advice on my pregnancy.…
After doing the Baby Project, I’ve definitely understand how big of a responsibility having a child is like. I also want to thank my parents for being extremely responsible and caring for me. It has been difficult trying to hold my books and my iPad, having my backpack on, and also carrying the baby at the same time. During classes I also had to make room on my desk or put things elsewhere so I can put the baby somewhere safe. I also had to wash the baby clothes because it gets dirty really easily. It’s definitely been a wild experience.…
At first, finding out I was pregnant was a devastating shock to not only myself but everyone around me. I was only eighteen and was a senior in high school. I had such high expectations for myself. I felt like I had let my parents down, which hurt the most. Friends and family approached me about adoption and abortions. However, I knew in my heart that I couldn’t give my child up. After a few months, everyone started to come around and be supportive. My mother was so excited to spoil her first grandchild with love. My boyfriend, Justin was so supportive and stood by my side through everything. I felt so blessed. I finally started to feel happiness towards being a mother.…

On February 9th,2016, I was told that I would be expecting my first child. The moment was surreal for me. I never expected to be in a situation as such as a sophomore in college. My life was no longer my own, it was being shared by a small human growing inside me. However, reality soon set in. I began to realize I wouldn’t have the fairytale pregnancy that every girl dreams of. I did not have the supportive partner that everyone needs in a situation such as this. As a sophomore in college, I could provide for a child alone. In complete honesty, I was still a child myself. For this moment in time, school was not my main priority. My mind flooded with question in regards to what to do about my pregnancy. Could I be a single mother right now? How would I provide for my child? How would the child be mentally and physically without a…
