Getting Pregnant at a Young Age

[dark_phoenix]

^how did she feel after she did it? did she have any regrets?

[vanessas]

honestly wala akong nkitang ngsisi siya. normal lang siya. at nakkainis yon fact n hindi siya ngsisi

[dark_phoenix]

^ahhh. yung other friend ko who had plans of abortion. nakunan siya. now she's sad na nakunan siya. =\

[kutingpie]

my bestfriend aborted  her suppose to be first baby. i told her not to pero matigas talaga ulo at desidido talaga na hindi ituloy. that was 2 mos ago. so far ok naman siya no health problems, naabort na niya baby. hay grabe.

grabe ang lakas ng loob nilang pumatay. i thought of it many times while i was pregnant but i just cant do it. may takot ako sa Diyos at alam ko magiging ok padin ang lahat kahit may baby na ako.

so sad to hear this..lalo na sa mga couples hirap magkaanak, sa iba wala lang, ganun kadali i-eliminate

[theotherjeckay]

I want to say that na Abortion is a choice but I guess it hard coming from a mom like me. 

Being a mom at a young age is hard especially if walang support from family....

[nadialicious16]

i got pregnant at a young age din.18 yrs ako non.ang dami ko ring hirap na pinagdaanan.pumasok pa rin ako sa school non,pero nagstop nako nung kabuwanan ko na at nag focus muna ako mag-alaga sa baby ko.and then went back and graduated.face the consequences ika nga,kesa naman switching to another no no decision di ba? like abortion.mamaya kung ano pa mangyari sayo.i have lots of friends opt to that decision at super sisi sila,kasi my times na tin-ry i-eliminate ayun kapit ang bata kaya may abnormalities ang baby nya.ka sad.tsk di maganda yan.i'll pray for you sis.

Sa mga nagpa abort na hindi man lang nagsisi, she would think of it later in her life, like for example 10 years from now that she is ready to have kids and she is loving the thought of it, parang she will always think na what if's in her life.. what if kung buhay ang first baby ko.

I was pregnant when I was 19yrs old, now I have a nine year old girl, I am so so happy having her in my life, I did not marry his father though, neverthless she makes my life complete together with her younger sister (2yrs old), they love each other so much...Parang without the other their life will not be complete, ganun sila ka close.

This is the what if's in life I am referring to.

[dark_phoenix]

actually nag dududa kami nang isang ko friend ko if my other friend who got pregnant really had a miscarriage.

please read my post in this thread and i need you insights sissies. thank you. http://www.femalenetwork.com/girltalk/index.php/topic,213895.msg5445610.html#new

Abortion is a major no-no.

[yinandyang]

back in college, we had a course on marriage and stuff. which was just basically meant to "scare" us into teenage pregnancy. sakto pa na we had a classmate na buntis nun.

it did work on me kaya i was so scared of doing it with my then BF. i cannot imagine myself being pregnant and having to face my parents. parang i decided that the reward is not greater than the risk kaya i graduated a virgin.

[snix]

my best friend got pregnant when we were 18..birthday ko pa yun ng sinabi niya sakin..

i knew that she kept on having unprotected sex kahit ilang beses ko na sinabihan.. 3rd year na kami nun and since trisem sila ggraduate na siya buti na lang so tinuloy parin niya studies naelect pa nga siyang sc president at that time..

ang hirap nun kasi wala yung parents niya kami lang talaga umaalalay..ng nanganak na lang siya nalaman..pinakasal sila agad dahil muslim..my goddaughter is turning 2 next year

[rainy066]

naku parang ako ata pinaka bata [textspeak!] nong na preggy.
I was only 16. 7 months na ko bago ko na sabe sa parents ko kase major major na hndi ko alam gagawin ko at mas masakit pala pag ang ginanti syo ng magulang mo ay yakap mas winasak ang heart ko talaga. but our 1st bby died after a month hndi ko na din na uwi ng bahay kase na ICU sya agad after birth may problema kase sa heart. but now i have 3 makukulit at mababait na chikiting and we have 1 angel na guide namin ni hubby. never ako kinahiya ng mom and ng dad ko even my siblings they were very proud of me daw kase hndi ako nag pa abort.

i think if one gets pregnant at a young age, she, including the people around her, should focus on the right solution rather than focus on the problem.

a lot of unpopular choice will have to be made.

but there are so many people out there who are now successful because at a young age "napilitan" sila to work hard and turn things around.

sometimes life is about blooming wherever we are planted.

[PINKAHOLIC]

@ sis rainy066, grabe sobra akong nakarelate sayo.
7 months na rin nila nalaman n preggy ako coz di ko alam ang ga2win tipong gulung gulo. .
Iniipit ko nga and i wore loose dress dat time and di nga nila nahalata.
Nang nalaman nila,
ni-hug nila ako, umiiyak.
Stress ang mama ko nun, sobra . .
Ang naiba lang ay mas bata ako sau nun, i was only 15 pero b4 ako manganak nag 16 na ako,
and d other thing is buhay ang baby ko

I was 19 when I got pregnant and 20 by the time I gave birth. 3rd year college. Bad timing because I found out that I just got granted a 1 year full scholarship to Tokyo Japan. Anyway, I didn't disclose my pregnancy and went to Japan to study for 3 months. Went home on my 7 month of pregnancy. Gave birth but decided not to go back to Japan on the day of my flight. I went back to school when my son was 2 yrs old.

I worked on and off for a while. It was hard knowing that I had a lot of years to catch up on with my batchmates. Extra hard because I was a consistent honor student and HS valedictorian.

The hardest part was telling my parents. They were very supportive so I was really ashamed at disappointing them. All I heard from my Mom was I didn't have to get married just because I got pregnant. I said we wanted to get married. I remember my mom asking me 3 questions:

"Nagawa mo na ba lahat ng gusto mo gawin?"
"Napuntahan mo na ba lahat ng gusto mo puntahan?"
"Nabili mo na ba lahat ng gusto mo bilhin?"

Hay, nadurog ang puso ko. Sobra!!!

Anyway, I am doing well. Still together,  have good jobs, working to make our dreams come true. Sabi nga just because nadapa ka doesn't mean you will never be able to get up again. Yes we can all get up and walk, even run again. We just have to keep going and never give up. Never ever give up.

Asus! Getting pregnant at an early age?? Nakow ang dami nyan dito sa lugar namen. Ohh by the way mga sis I came from davao. Ans this year maraming buntis dito take note teenage moms.

Yung 1st SIL ko 14 y.o nung pinangank ang nephew ko. Cousin ko 18y.o, yung isa ko pang cousin 15 y.o...mga neighbors namen mga ages 15-19.
Ewan ko ba dito parang normal na yata..naaawa lang ako sa mga baby kasi hindi maalagaan ng maayos.

I am still 20 pero gusto ko na magka baby. Kaso mahirap PCO ako. We're stable ni hubby. Married. weird ba?

[ava_camille]

I was 19 when I got pregnant, 5 months na ako nung malaman namin ng boyfriend ko (now hubby I don't know how to tell my mom, she's a single parent and panganay ako so expected na ako talaga ang tutulong sa kanya. I broke my mom's heart 4 days before christmas ko nasabi sa kanya. at iyak ng iyak si mama . Even my sister and brother were so sad and crying the whole day when I told them the news.

Now my son is 10 years old sila na humihirit ng kasunod

[cosmochick]

Got married at 21. Gave birth at 22. Separated at 25, annuled at 27. It was hard at first but I would never regret having my baby at such a young age. Now, he is 8 yo. para ko lang kapatid. I love him more than my life kahit na I don't see him.

[SkyG]

I got pregnant when I was 19, I started working after a year, it was difficult because I do not have anyone to take care of my son kung hindi yaya. I had my second child after 4 years and my youngest just last year. Hindi na ako nakabalik sa school because I have to work. My husband who is 5 years older than me, hindi lucky sa work kaya ako ang nagwowork for almost 4 years straight. Siya sa bahay.

Now my 2 kids are going to school na. Napakahirap ng mga pinagdaanan ko in terms of relationships with my husband's family and with him personally, pero I learned from everything. The only thing that makes me strong is that I know my kids are growing well (healthy and with values) dahil sa lahat ng paghihirap ko.

Lahat ng iniisip ko nuon na gusto ko makuha, unti-unti ko nang natatanggap. We all just have to wait. Kaya my university, antayin mo lang ako. Unahin ko muna mga bagets ko.
