When i found out that i am pregnant I am a bit shocked because I was not expecting this but later on I realized that this is a gift and maybe this child will make me strive more to life. Although my parents doesnt accept what happened to me as long as my partner is there beside me i will be ok. How about you? What do feel when you found out that you are pregnant and do you wait for it or it came unexpectedly?

hi there jun... i got pregnant when i was 16..and I had no clue iwas pregnant i was so d*mn ignorant that time... until i didnt get my period for 4 months and started throwing up and noticed some changes in me..that was when i started to "doubt" i am... (silly me) you could imagine how much i panicked!!!!!!!! my parents are gonna kill me..my older brother's probably gonna shoot me... my dad was a well-known politician in our place that time and i would cause him so much embarassment... i ran away for 28 days ..and when i realized i was not realdy to stand on my own yet i called home and realized they were not mad at me at all.. i came back..and all went well.. My son's now 14 years old...... time flies by so fast!

Hi patofgold! you get pregnant at very young age but i admire you because you have the courage to stand for it unlike some teenagers that abort the baby when they found out that they are pregnant. I hope I also have the courage just like you to stand for this.

oh you have no idea how scared i was that time... and i was nervous about having the baby...i have no clue whatsoever how to care for one since i am more like a baby myself that time.. but when i gave birth...my maternal instincts just kicked in... and nobody has to teach me how to care for my little one..i just learned on my own.. and now I am sooo proud coz I knwo i did a great job in raising him.. i could see myself in you when i was young and got pregnant.its okay to get scared..were just human... and we have to recognize our fears..but dont let that falter you... it's not the end of the worl..pick yourself up..hold your head up high... and you'll find things will just fall into its proper place!

Hi junmae, the most important thing is how you accept and deal with it.Nothing else really matters.We have all gone through different phases in life and believe me - most of the time ,life is what we make of it.Be happy with your precious child and be positive ...

i feel so sad coz we thought that i was pregnant but i wasn't. im 3 days delayed already and im already vomiting, but i dont know what happened, as the next day i found myself processing a very important documents and i was walking the whole day with a high heels from building to building. then when i got home i feel that my lower back was so painful and heavy then the next day i've got my period. we are too excited to have a baby already but i guess its not time yet.

Sorry to hear that I know time will come that you will conceive. I know things will come in right time and you will just be surprised. Although I am not expecting this pregnancy I accept this because I know there are reasons why this baby came.

I would totally freak out. My parents will really kill me. Although I don't care much, but pretty sure, the people around me will then create rumors about me getting pregnant and that they will say things against me. Anyways, I will still accept the baby.

We are in same situation, my parents would kill me if they knew Im pregnant but when I told my mother about this she was really mad and she tries to abort my baby but I refuses so I moved out of our house and live with my boyfriend.

At age twenty two I was back from my trip around the world. I was doing temporary job at an insurance company. I wasn't feeling well and I had to go to the rehearsal of my best friends wedding. I felt really sick that evening and didn't know what was the matter with me. I was shocked when I found out I was pregnant and my ex husband was quite surprised. I had our baby son and he was born at home. My ex husband and I split up six years later. I wasn't expecting that I would have more than the one child. I was thirty four years old. I wasn't feeling very well and knew that familiar feeling. I did a pregnancy test and it was positive. At thirty six weeks pregnancy I found out about my son's spina bifida and hydrocephalus. He is now a happy little two year old. I was so worried when I found out I was pregnant for the third time at age thirty six. I kept my pregnancy a secret for months because I knew that my baby might have had spina bifida. I had a scan at the fetal medicine unit at 16 weeks pregnancy. Then I was able to fully enjoy my pregnancy. Luckily my baby is a healthy and she is now three months old.
