Hi.

I've heard a lot of stories about teen pregnancies and the bad experiences and issues that went along with them. But i've never once read of the good stories, or the better side to the bad ones. So i thought you should all read my story, so you know that not all parents take things badly and that there is some hope in this world for pregnant teens.

I'm 18 years old and i'm 28 weeks pregnant. I found out i was pregnant in May this year, i was 11 weeks and 17 yeard old.

I really couldn't and still can't see how i got pregnant as i was on the pill and i have PCOS, an infertility problem. But it somehow happened. I told my mum, she took it way better than i expected. She was a little shocked but she supported me with everything and still does and still will.

I then told my boyfriend. It took him a little while to get used to the idea. He just went very quiet and didnt say much for a few weeks. He was mainly concerned about money issues because back then, he didn't have a job.

At my local hospital i go to a parenting class for pregnant teens. It has really helped me and i know im not alone.

I told my dad (who doesn't live with us) i was pregnant when i was about 14-15 weeks. I knew he would take it worse than anyone else. He was shocked and bascially in denial. He hardly spoke to me and never mentioned the baby or even acknowleged that i was pregnant. While visiting him i told his girlfriend how i felt and she had a word with him. He now occationally talks to me over the phone and kinda acknowleges that im pregnant, but has never once said "how's the baby". It kinda upsets me, but i dont let it get in my way as ive never really had a good relationship with him and i know that if he were to diown me, it wouldn't really affect me.

Both my family and my boyfriend's family and my friends are getting really excited about this baby now. It's really good.

To this day i don't know why it happned, but it must have happened for a very good reason. I would call it fate. I mean, to get pregnant while on the pill, have PCOS, and not have miscarriage from all the things i did while i didnt know i was pregnant (eg. Eat all the stuff they tell you not to, get drunk and go to Wonderland and go on ALL the rides) then i must really be destend to have this baby.

But there are still days when i think, "how am i going to cope?" "Am i going to be a good mother?" I spose only time will anwser those questions. But with all the support i have of loving family and friends i think that i could get through anything...
