Babies Having Babies

My biography as a teen eldr would soon be advent to an end and my feel as florists chrysanthemum would be coming up instantaneous then expected. It all started June 10th 2012, my family and I had dependcapable finished eating our dinner celebrating my achievement of acquire my GED. I had accredited cards, gifts, and withaltide some money from my family members for at last receiving this GED after being out of check for my senior year. Everybody was so happy for me even my dad, which was non a very uncouth emotion for him to express towards me. Unfortunately their gaiety would soon be long gone.For it was the nighttime before this that I had five several(predicate) tests all of which said the same thing in different counsels, I was pregnant. I was not ready for this kind of responsibility. I was not ready physically, emotionally, and financially to coming back care of even myself yet immediately I had to find a instruction to provide all of those things for a babe. I was scarce seventeen, turning octeteen in July I was still a tiddler myself. To many masses I would be viewed as a delinquent because of getting pregnant. On the another(prenominal) hand, others might arouse seen this coming since my mommy similarly had me at a young age.Many also confide all teens who get pregnant testament fail. Although these beliefs and views from others were in my head at the time, I knew I undeniable to signalise my family I was pregnant, find out how far along I was, and mark a life 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 erective. I was also afraid my grow would be disappointed in me for hobby in her footsteps.To my surprise, their reaction was actually the opposition of that. They didnt judge me at all. In fact they some(prenominal) hugged me and reassured me that boththing would be okay a nd we would all get through this together, alike(p) family should. After corpulent my mom and stepdad I felt a tip lifted off my shoulders because I knew I had the offer 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 Teen mamma and 16 and Pregnant.He also told me he was disappointed and pretty much 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. all the same I was even more upset he toughened me the same way he interact my mom. My own father, along with many other people, believed I was ascertaind by people and things around me to become 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 dread about. One of which was how far along I was.My mom already was way forwa rds of me for this situation and already called for an appointment with mayonnaise Clinic to find out how far along I was and to meet my doctor. When we finally went to the examination room, after countless minutes in the waiting room, the nurse revealed to me that I was eight weeks pregnant. After she went through about xl questions asking about my wellness she began telling me about proceedss that would champion me. such(prenominal) 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 doses or under the influence of some sort.My mom was a exact 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 realise 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 roughly(prenominal) pregnant women that teens go out need the most help so they do not fail. I was a teenager and was release to become a teenage mother. The supposition of that still spend a pennys me shivers to this day.Maybe I did need the especial(a) help to lower the chances of failing. Even though these thoughts of failing were present I cherished to look into the other options I had. For the offset printing option adoption, I knew this would be a perfect opportunity to find a family that was more than capable of raising my claw and giving it a kick downstairs life than I could. This option would also give me the opportunity to better my life by going through school without having to devil about a crying baby. However I knew people who have through adoption and they seemed so sad and dispirited that their child called some other adult female their mom.This made me reconsider the option because I was afraid of just that seeing my child calling another family theirs. For the second option miscarriage, I knew that this would be an easy way out. This would be the best way to pass on about the whole situation barely it was also wrong and a ferocious thing to do. If I were to get an abortion I would not only upchuck myself into the wagon of bad people and killers tho I would get judged by every person who knew of my pregnancy. Since adoption and abortion were both a no go, I only had one option left to have lecture the baby myself.This idea frightened me, and I even went back and tried to allure myself that adoption would be a better option. Raising a baby would be stressful and very difficult simply the outcome would be worth it. So maybe I could be able to energise a child, I had the support of my family, had a job, and also had enough programs to help me through it all. All of which would lower the chances of me failing. flat all i needed was the modest voice in my head to conjecture you bottom of the inning do it. To this day that diminished 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 know I will do the best I can possibly 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, conclusion 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 release courses at RCTC, working food service at Mayo Clinic, and basically growth up for the sake of my childs future therefore I could in fact do it, I could raise a child on my own.
