//17 & pregnant//

//Get to know me//

•First of all I will be changing my name and my family's names along with cities etc. just for my privacy•
     Hi, so my name will be Bryson's mommy👱🏼‍♀️ I am 17 years old but when I found out I was pregnant I was 16. My boyfriend and I had been together right at a year when everything happened. We had never used protection in the year we was together and we even began to think we would never be able to have kids in life, but boy was we wrong.
     My boyfriends name will be Bryson's daddy👱🏽‍♂️He is exactly a year and 3 days older than me so when we found out he was 17 (now 18). We live in a small town in the south and now seniors in high school as of August 2018.
     So when it all happened it took us by surprise. I'd just gotten back from a trip and it was about 8 days after our 1 year. I had been expecting my period and kept complaining Bc I had period like cramps at the end of November when I would've been expecting my period. I talked to his sister even saying omg I'm fixing to start. Well after being about 3 days late I finally got the courage up to get a pregnancy test on our first day out for thanksgiving. I also had to work that day so it had to wait till I got home.
     After working all day I went home and peed in a cup...I only bought the cheap dollar store tests for if I wasn't I didn't want to waste more money. Well almost immediately two dark lines showed up. I was pregnant. I didn't text my boyfriend I just sat there. I was so sad. I was a cheerleader and a very active person in general. My mom had me at 17 and I always said I didn't want to be like her. Well now I am.
    I went to my boyfriends (after I cried for almost an hour) and joined his family for supper. He went back to his room and I followed him. He knew something was up. He kept saying what, what!?!? Till he finally said. You are aren't you. All I could do was shake my head yes. It was almost an immediate reaction of we can't keep it we have to get rid of it. He forced me to take vitamin c pills and sesame seeds. Yet no matter how much I loved him I couldn't do it. It was our baby and I couldn't live with myself if I killed our baby. I would lie and say I'd been taking them. Nobody knew I was pregnant and everything I did I knew. I knew secretly I was pregnant. I still cheered for a month after finding out. I was tumbling and stunting with the girls. And only a few close friends knew.
     It's now January and we turned 17 and 18. I knew we needed to tell but I was so scared. I thought my parents would disown me. Hate me even. Well the time came. A week after my birthday (end of January) I told my grandma. She was disappointed but very supportive. It was about a week after we told his parents who threw an absolute fit. Said we ruined our lives and we wouldn't amount to anything. Once his mom found out she was pressing me to go to the doctor. So I did. At 15 weeks I went to the doctor and was confirmed I was pregnant. I knew I was I'd been feeling it. After my first ultrasound at 17 weeks we learned it was a boy. And that's when I told my grandpa.
     And this is where I'm going to stop and do my doctors appointments till I get to where I am now at 32 weeks. If you have any questions comment on the side and I'll do a chapter over it. I just want to support and help anyone else going through this.
