The first time i fount out i was pregnant, i couldn't believe it, it was something I definitely didn't wanted. I was so disappointed and frustrated. I even hated my boyfriend for me he was the guilty one and the worst part is how i found out. i was in the gastroenterologist he previously send me to do some lab test, when i went back to the office and i was already inside for the check up because i had the worst gas, by the way is the one that comes out of the mouth. So there i was ready for the test and all when the doctor comes to the office and says to me that the pregnancy test came back positive. i walked so furious out of there, i couldn't even look at my boyfriend without wanting to scream at him or hit him. i didn't know what to do, a lot of things came to my mind. how i wanted to do so many things before i even had i child, if it even that day would come. i didn't wanted kids and i didn't liked them so being around with a giant belly made me feel ashamed and eve foolish for all the things i have said before and now i had to swallow every word i said about not having kids ever. i always said that i wouldn't have children and eve if i did it will have been at least in my 30's, but life had other plans for me. i went through depression, i felt lonely, unaccomplished, i felt rage and sadness and i cried all the time, i had a lot of mixed feelings. One thing i was sure i was definitely not happy. I couldn't tolerate any food or smells. I threw up everything and i had nausea all the time, even at times my boyfriend bothered me i eve thought of leaving him. We recently had moved to a new apartment near the beach, but the apartment was small and it had some issues that didn't bother me before but after i fount out i was pregnant i couldn't wait to get out of there to a bigger space, that why i decided to go back to my mom's for a while at least till we found a new apartment. The first months were the worst and i eve thought of not having the baby and now that think about it it makes me feels so bad. i didn't wanted the baby because i didn't felt ready having someone depending on me forever or at least a pretty long time. i still wanted to do stuff without having to worry about major things. i wanted to finish my degree, travel, hang out with friends. I felt that my life was ending to soon, no more fun, n more going out whenever i wanted. It was a very difficult decision and a very difficult time. I started to grow bigger and bigger, my boobs went from b to d. i was so worried of how my body was going to look like after pregnancy, especially those stretch mark all women fear.I know it sound selfish and not very nice but I'm sure I'm not the only one who has ever felt this way before. Every day that went by was like a warning saying, enjoy your last days of freedom. Then that day finally came, i went to the doctor for my weekly check up. They took my pressure and it was higher than usual i also gained to a lot of weight abruptly. i was so inflated and i didn't even had ankles anymore, i retained to much liquid and now i was like a balloon. The doctor didn't hesitate and send me to the hospital for observation with no food and i was so hungry. The next day i was so anxious i didn't wanted to be in the hospital for to long, I was at my 38th week, so imagined if i had to be two weeks in the hospital. I don't know but something trigger my body and my water broke, without any dilatation or contractions, so guess what? C-section here she come. I cried, i was so nervous, i didn't wanted that, what about what i wanted? what about me? People must think, what about the baby? well this story is about me. The baby, well that's another story...

How old are you by the way? i had mine when i was 19 and it was all unplanned. I was 19 and i was in college and i was at my prime. all care free and care less! But i never really did blamed my boyfriend, now my hubby. since we were both the one doing the act. lol. But like you i was also like mad at the world. hahaha i was depressed but luckily he stood by, he was at my side all the time. There are things that happened that we know are all our fault but since we try to deny it, we tend to hate it more. I was like that but i got through it, i finished college and now working and have 3 kids. I hope you will be able to go through all of these and i am happy you did not resort to aborting you baby as well.

Hi, well I'm 23, I'm about to finish my major, but still for me it seems like a young age for a baby at least for me, but now I'm happy with my boy. :)

You know , at first reading your discussion it I reacted like what kind of person is this , it was there fault and now she is anxious about being pregnant but as i was reading it , I realized how good you are . You had so many bad experiences but then you never tried to abort your baby . I am a teenage mom and I believe we have same feeling and experiences that is why I truly understand you.

Hey Cmarrero, rather than a discussion this seems more a frustration that was triggered by a mistake. Even when you realized that you were pregnant and you did want to have a child so early in your life why you opted to have it instead of going for a abortion? And along with your boyfriend I feel you are equally guilty for this incident as precautions are needed on both sides. Let bygones be bygones, now that you have passed such a phase in your life its better to accept it as a part of fate. You are much stronger now than what you were earlier. As for the child you should love the baby as much as you can as it has fault of its in the incident.

I don't regret having my baby, and I went to the place to get oriented, but something in my heart didn't let me. Is so cold and they treat you as if you were to dispose garbage, it didn't felt right and Im glad I walked out.

I can only imagine what the sensation must be like, it's a beautiful and life changing kind of experience for sure. I've seen all mothers change.

A while ago I have this kind of feeling.I was thought I was pregnant and I regret everything what I did..Then I took another test and I was not pregnant. I dont know explain what really happend but I was glad I was not.Anyway I believe, everything happens for some reason. So love you kid how much you can and never let them alone. Be mother is a huge gift that god gave to us and I am so proud to be a woman.
