Hi girls!

I was 16 turning 17 when i first fell pregnant. Although i was dead set of keeping the baby it was the dumbest thing i could have done. My mum had me at exactly the same age and had drilled into me all my life not to make the same mistake. Not that she regretted having me, just that she wanted me to have other things in life. Unfortunetly (or fortunetely, depending on how you look at it, but thats a whole other issue) i miscarriade the pregnancy at 12 weeks.

I was 19 when i fell pregnant for the second time. Another one of my silly mistakes. I am not ashamed to say that i terminated this pregnancy. I had just secured a Traineeship in a government department after being unemployed since high school. Throwing the traineehsip in and keeping the baby would not have been the right decision. I sure everyone has an opinion on this but it was my decision and as hard it was, i made it.

In 2005 i fell pregnant just after my 21'st birthday. I had given a bit of thought to having a baby before my 21'st but then after i my birthday i decided to wait a little longer. Well i did'nt have to! I fell pregnant with Briley in August, 1 month after my 21'st. It must have been fate. I was 1 month short of 22 when i had Briley.

Then in 2006 i fell pregnant again, this one was planned, i was 22. Colby was due and born on the 3'rd of August so i was 23 when i had her.

Getting to the point, I think i am a young mum. But really, anyone under the age of 25 is classed as a young mum these days. I am glad i started when i did and don't regret my girls one bit. They are the light of my life.
