My teen mom story

Hiding

I started a new school and where I was living was a small city in North Carolina 30 mins away from myrtle beach. I was starting 8th grade because I was already a year behind. When I started 8th grade at my new school I didn't know anybody. I always sat by myself at lunch. I was a total loner.

The second week of school I finally made a friend and  her  name was Aleah. Me and her talked about a-lot of things we had in common. I couldn't tell her I was pregnant. I wanted to so bad but I didn't want to be that girl in 8th grade pregnant.

As a I hit my 2nd trimester I started showing more. We had to wear uniforms to school and I would always wear a hoodie even in 70 degree weather. I couldn't sit in a regular desk anymore. So I finally told my home room teacher and she made arrangements for me. My principle knew and so did a couple other teachers. I couldn't do gym anymore so the gym teacher would make me walk and all the other kids would wonder why I wasn't participating.

One day I was in gym class and we were running back and forth and I thought I could handle it but I fell right on my stomach. I started crying so hard. I got up so fast and went to the school office. I called my mom right away and she got to my school in less than 20 mins which is pretty fast because we lived in the country. So we went to the hospital and my stomach was hurting so bad.

I got called back so they could see if they baby was hurt. The nurse was listening for an heartbeat. She told me she didn't hear a heartbeat. I looked at my mom and we both were so shocked and started crying. The nurse tried again and then we heard a loud heartbeat. We were so happy!  I couldn't
even imagine if I lost my baby that day and knowing it was my fault.
