(Wed, 07 Jan 2009 02:09:21 GMT)
The person i know is 27 years old and 19 weeks pregnant she recently had amniotic fluid test and a ultrasound the doctor told her that baby has down syndrome and hydrocephalus.

Open Question: Is there a possibility that I might be Pregnant?
(Wed, 07 Jan 2009 01:24:15 GMT)
Okay I know I have asked this question already but...
Okay me and my Bf starting baby planning In Mid November.
My period Came on Dec 8, which means I start Ov 14 days after. So I started Ov around Dec 19. Well I started freaking out and I decided to get on BC on Dec 18. Well my BF didn't know I was having doubts. He believed it was still a go on the baby (which means no protection no pulling out). So I started the BC and guess what, I started messing up after pill #3. Never took one the day it was meant to be taken and they were never on time, so I called i quits on Friday 1/2 when there were 6 pills left to be taken. So my period came Monday 1/5. The thing is I have been feeling nausea, tired, LOTZ of headaches well according to some research I have done I may begin to feel nausea as early as week 3!!! YES I know I thought it was too soon, BUT here I am with freaking nausea and headaches.
My cousin said this bleeding is not my period and that there is a possibility that I might be prego. That this bleeding is the cause of me F*N UP my BC. It is quite heavy, dark, but not smelly, and NOOOO cramps!
Do I want a baby not yet but if Im pregnant HELL YEA!! I'll be more than happy to be a mommy.
SO CONFUSED!!!
I bought HPT I will take one first thing in the morning!! But I need help for now lol! Im so curious!
I get dizzy very easily now.

Open Question: BABY NAME GAME!!! 20 characters?
(Wed, 07 Jan 2009 01:16:12 GMT)
1. Your 17 and you have a baby with your boyfriend. Your baby comes in april, it's a beutiful baby boy. With brown hair, fair skin, and hazel eyes. You wanted his name to have something to do with your boyfriend <James Christopher> but not exactly.
2. You continue to the same college in Boston as your boyfriend. Post graduating you get married and shortly after realize your pregnant. On a buisness trip in paris, your children are born. 2 twin girl and boy, one with honey blonde hair, medium skin and indigo eyes, the other identical.
3. Your husband graduates med school and gets a job as a doctor, you now have a house <your kids are 11, 5, and 5) You decide to have another child, you get fertillity and have quadruplets. You want them all to have the same initials. 3 boys and 1 girl. The first 2 boys have blonde hair and blue eyes, the second has curly brown hair and brown eyes. The girl has black hair and topaz eyes.
4. Your husband gets promoted, so you quit work to stay home with your growing family. then your 14 year-old daughter comes to you with news that she's PREGNANT. Coincidentlly, your pregnant at the same time. After, talking it through with your daughter, the baby daddy, and his parents, you decide, that you will keep the baby because both families are doctors and financially able, under the impression that the two will raise the kids together. <btw, your daughters boyfriend is your neighbor>. Your daughter has a boy with blonde hair and blue eyes. You have a girl with beautiful purple eyes, fair skin, and jet black hair. Names?
5. Your children are now 16, 10, 10 and 2. Your grandson dies, with extreme sadness your daughter says she wants to marry the baby daddy, you agree, if the wedding is when they are both 17 or 18 and they promise to both go to college. Overjoyed with that information, your daughter gets pregnant again but with a girl. The two get married and you and your husband adopt twin girls from Australia. Your daughter wants the name of her son to have the same initials as her first. Your twins mother wanted the babies to be named after your family.
6. Now your children are 21<the 21 year old is happily married and just graduated from and going to lawschool>, 15, 15, 4, 2 and 2. Your son tells you he is going to be a father <15 year old son> upset <like the 1st 2 times> and the girl was kicked out, you feel obligated to let her in to the house. After meeting her more thoroughly she feels more like family. The baby is born when they are 16, you keep it. After they live together for 2 years they get married. They both go to a 4 year college near by and live in the house.
7. now that your children are 30, 24, 24, 13, 11, and 11, your youngest dies of cancer. and your oldest has a child and names it a similar name. The baby is born on the day of your child's funeral, so it was an uneasy day. Your 24 year-olds are both married with children.
8. After stressing to your daughter not to have sex, at the age of 19, while in an ivy-league college she gets pregnant, the baby is born 7 weeks premature and okay. It was a girl on march 3, at 6:17 AM. She wanted a hawaiian name. You and your husband retired very rich, shortly after which he died, so you move near your daughter and her new-arrival. She did not get married to the baby daddy <or possible baby daddies> she finished her degee and got a good paying jobs, and later writes a book called "the house of youth" a fictinal book based on her and her siblings teen parenting experiences, the book was a huge hit, and turned in to a TV show.

i moved to german 2 months ago to live with this girl and her mother on the same flat. i was working in a bank with a good job and all my things left being. i believe love is the most important thing in live so no regrets but its important you guys know this.
anyway everything was not as i expected we didnt have a really good live, her mother is always around and always making plans for all of us i mean it like 4 5 day a week... anyway i was working for her mothers company cleaning floors and so on untill early this week we decided to move to england trying to get some more money and try to have a normal couple live just us no one else around. well another important thing is we find out she is pregnant!!
well this week her mother finds out that she is pregnant and that my girlfriend 19 years and i 25 years want to go to england and everything just kicked off, her mother doesnt want her to go and wants me out of her live and out of the house and work. well as you guys imagine i dont know anyone here and everything is a mess,
well now my girl wich told me lots of times she loved me and i was the most important thing in her live changed her mind and doesnt want to come to england anymore and the reason is because her mother doesnt let her go... i can have my job back in england , lucky me, but have to go back on the 19 of this month. my girl says she would come after 2 weeks but i dont believe her because i fell her mother has control of her live and won let her go, her mother said she would let her go but i think she is just trying to make time untill i left than it wont let her go.
im not happy because i fell she not taking control of her live and should be able to make the decision herself without her mother telling her what to do.
ah my girl says she needs the time because we wont have the baby and she out the baby away on the 16th and she needs 2 weeks
well i dont fell good with that again because i think her mother is taking our live decisions instead of being us and she keeps saying my mother doesnt let me go and all this stuff. well i dont know what to do i do´nt believe she would come after the 2 weeks because her mother wont let her go and to be honest our trust relationship hasnt been the best i found out a few things about her that doesnt make me trust her as much as i would like, for example i now she was trying to get to know this guy even after i was already here but thats gone but still trust takes time to build.
guys my head is a mess and i dont know what to do.

Open Question: 19 Weeks Pregnant & Major Trouble Sleeping... Help!?
(Wed, 07 Jan 2009 00:13:53 GMT)
So I am 19 weeks and 2 days pregnant, and I have been having some major trouble sleeping... I am not so huge that I cannot get comfortable, but it seems that even though I am exhausted, I just cant drift off to sleep, and when I finally do I end up waking up about 3 times a night to go pee. I dont drink fluids after 7pm and dont go to bed til around 9pm.
I work full time, and have one day off a week, so I am tired as anything but just having lots of trouble sleeping in general!
Anybody have any suggestions for me?
By the way, I live in Australia so please do not suggest sleeping tablets etc as the ones in U.S. may not be available here in Australia.
I have a docs appointment next tuesday and will ask then, but I am just looking for some advice in the mean time!
Tylenol is not available in Australia that I know of!
And the nights are getting sooo difficult, but the days are even worse because I still work full time! Please help ladies, im at my wits end! :(
Of course some sleeping tablets harm the baby, but there are other alternatives im sure.
I would prefer something natural.
It is not my pregnant belly keeping me awake, I just cannot sleep! I get comfortable easily (for now!)

Open Question: How to deal with people taking advantage of your family?
(Tue, 06 Jan 2009 22:19:22 GMT)
Ok, so its a long story but the short version is that my moms side of the family are all users and abusers. we only EVER hear from them when they want something thou wen my mom desperately needed help years ago, she was pregnant and really sick and couldn't work etc all her family had mysteriously disappeared. Now they think we have it made or whatever and only call when they want money or clothes or a hook up to a job...At one time My aunt and uncle who i hate actually treated my mom like a slave. Cooking and cleaning most of the day while they sat on their asses. The recently lost their business and were asking my mom for help and sucking up to us lol...Last week my aunt who has 3 children over the age of 20 and 1 teen and a working husband asked for $500, no given reason just that she is "short" blah blah. She works also and she is constantly bailing out her eldest daughter because her and her husband are spendaholics and her son who is over 25 still acts like he's 17 and needs money for everything. Right at this moment my mom's cousin is staying with us on our couch because shes looking for a job, my mom had found her one but she got fired and its probably because she is on the phone 20hrs a day (Shes 42years old with 5 kids and a hubby) Its just her here. Something happened YEARS ago and now i think my mom is trying to prove herself to everyone. She doesn't ask the family for help rarely. And she gives money to her parent who are on retirement every week. Shes the only one out of 8 children to give them $$. That doesnt matter because my grandparents are there and they're the g-parents. Me, my sis and brother are all in college at the moment and parent pay my interest off so that when i finish and start working it won't b overwhelming or watever only because my bro and sis don't hav to pay till they finish their course and its interest free loans. So my moms WHOLE family close and extended only vist or call because the need this and that. my moms cousin a couple of months ago who she has never talked to or met in her life called up and asked her to buy all this stuff for her daughters wedding...a wedding my mom wasn't even invited to...How rude is that?!!! I can't stand my family seriously they are all annoying and we would be better off without them. There are so much other stuff like how just recently my other aunt asked my mom to pay her daughters $17000 school tuition even though mom has three college kids of her own to look out for and a little one who needs to start a college fund. So much stuff that is soooo stupid..What would you do? As daughter to a mother who is a push over and a family that are users and my mom is the youngest 4th youngest out of my grandparents children on moms side by the way. Youngest daughter. than 3 sons after her. Sorry really confusing lol buuuttt seriously What would you do? by the way im 20 my sis 19 and bro 17 and youngest is 3

Open Question: I've been on Birth Control for five years...when can I expect? HELP PLEASE!?!?!?
(Tue, 06 Jan 2009 21:50:09 GMT)
I've been on birth control for about five years now. I'm only 19 and the reason i started b/c was because i had TERRIBLE periods. I'm now married, and I had been taking the depo provera shot. The first week of january, i was due for another shot, but I never got it. I've been cramping pretty bad the past week and spotting discolored blood a little, but i wont ever start my period. whenever i become pregnant, my husband and i wanted it to be a "surprise" and not really planned. the women in my family have a very fertile background on or off b/c. any ideas of when I could expect to become pregnant? I'm very anxious...

Open Question: Antenatal care during pregnancy... Please answer?
(Tue, 06 Jan 2009 08:23:46 GMT)
I am now 17 weeks pregnant with my first baby. I'm worried that I have not had much antenatal care and wondered whether my experience is normal or whether my concerns are justified? I had my booking in appointment with a "supply" midwife (usual midwife was on holiday) when I was about 6 weeks. I had blood tests done at the hospital in November 2008. I have not had any results from these blood tests... I have had my first scan which showed the baby was fine. This was on 1st Dec 2008. Since then NOTHING! I don't have another appointment until I'm 19 weeks. I am really worried, I want to know my baby is OK as I'm not yet far gone enough to feel it move and I don't seem to have many pregnancy symptoms anymore. The usual midwife has rung me to say she is on sick leave so can't see me! Does this seem right to you guys? Thanks in advance...

Open Question: Placenta Previa @ 19 weeks. Please share your experience.?
(Tue, 06 Jan 2009 07:46:59 GMT)
Hey ladies. I'm 19 weeks pregnant with complete placenta previa. My doctor has put me on strict rules (NO sex and NO heavy lifting). He said my baby is healthy as can be and as long as I follow the rules, everything will be okay. He said I will definitely have to have a c-section which is what I wanted anyway and deliver 2 weeks earlier than my due date. He said there are tons of women who go through this and that everything will be okay.
I'm coming here today because like most moms to be (this is my first baby), I'm scared. Has anyone experienced this? Please share your experience with me - good or bad. If you haven't, don't bother commenting.
Thanks fellow placenta previa ladies!!

Resolved Question: How much would a baby born at 33 weeks weight?
(Mon, 05 Jan 2009 22:45:15 GMT)
A friend of mine claims to have given birth to her son at 33 weeks. He was 6.6 lbs and never spent a night in nicu. I think he might have been older than 33 weeks. She had a shotgun wedding with her husband ( both were 19 ) and said she got pregnant right away. His mom is extremely religious and her parents think she was a virgin when she got married ( she told me she wasnt) so I can see why she would lie. I have no interest in calling her out on it but I was just wondering how big is a 33 week old baby ( I know every baby is different but on average)

Open Question: The young girl who baby sits my son is pregnant?
(Mon, 05 Jan 2009 17:40:19 GMT)
I just got an e mail from the 16 yr old girl who sometimes baby sits my 19 month old little boy on the weekends. She only watches him for a few hours at a time Fri or Sat night while me and my husband get some dinner or see a movie. The email said the she is 9 wks pregnant and will still watch Sam until she is 34 weeks. I am not really sure how to handle this situation. I didn't even know if she had a boyfriend. Should I find a new sitter, or let her keep watching him? Sam really likes her and is comfortable around her, but now I think she may be irresponsible because she got pregnant at her age.

Open Question: How do I talk to my roommate about this attitude?
(Mon, 05 Jan 2009 15:11:14 GMT)
I've had many problems with my roommates...I live with a 48 year old and her 2 daughters, ages 19 and 25. A third daughter is overseas in the military, bless her. The daughter oversees has a 2 year old son, so when she deployed, the 25 year old came to live with us in her place, as she also has a 2 year old son and her husband is also deployed. The 25 year old was to help watch both kids so her mother could go back to working evenings/nights, where she makes the most money.
We rent a townhome, and it has a driveway that can fit 2 cars, although one car blocks the sidewalk (illegal in our neighbourhood), and sometimes sticks out in the street. The 48 year old convinced me upon move in that she and her daughter needed the driveway because of the baby. We have limited parking spaces on the actual street the townhome is on; if those are full, we have to park along the cross street, which isn't a far walk and a safe neighbourhood. I didn't mind, I understand.
Well, the other day they asked my boyfriend to move his car from a parking space on our street. He helps contribute to the house financially, although doesn't officially live there. He also only stays over a couple nights a week, 3 max, but usually 2. He still splits utilities and gives some rent money. She told him "someone should speak to you about manners; you should move your car so my pregnant daughter can have the space, you can park along the curb." Oh yeah, the 25 year old is also 6 weeks pregnant. What tee'd me off about that comment was, why doesn't the 48 year old give up the driveway? She insists on parking in it even though she no longer has to take the kids anywhere in her car! I'd think she should give up the driveway; I know she gets home late, but I do too, and I still walk from the cross street when I have to. Additionally, I had thought the whole reason she needed the driveway was for the kid, to make it easier. If I would have known it was simply because she didn't want to walk from the street, I would have suggested a rotating system for being able to park in the driveway. We are all healthy adults.
I don't know if I should say anything to her about this. Luckily, she hasn't asked me to move my car, perhaps because knows I won't move it. But I don't appreciate her telling my boyfriend, rather harshly, that he doesn't have manners because he didn't give up his space for her daughter, and that he should have to get out and move his car whenever he visits. Worse off, she mentioned this stuff to him at the bar she works at (I work there too part time, he goes there regularly), in front of all our collegues and his friends.
I do understand the 25 year old has 2 toddlers, and is pregnant, and she should get the space. I just don't think it should be expected that we move our cars if we happen to be lucky enough to get a space, when the 48 year old is perfectly healthy and has no reason at all to park in the driveway anymore.
Naomi...Sorry, it is a long question because the situation is complicated. Originally, it was myself, the 48 year old, and her two daughters, ages 19 and 22, and the now 2 year old baby. When the 22 year old got deployed, the 25 year old moved in to take her place for a year since her husband was also being deployed with a separate unit from the other daughter. She brought along her own 2 year old son (actually, only a month apart in age from the other baby.) She is also in early stages of pregnancy. When we moved in, the 48 year old convinced me that she and the 22 year old daughter needed the space because of the baby.
So the count is 2 toddlers, 1 pregnant daughter.

Open Question: Timeable irregular contractions - braxton hicks?
(Mon, 05 Jan 2009 14:41:08 GMT)
I'm 34 weeks pregnant
Since around 11am (eastern time) yesterday, I have had contractions at least every 20-30 minutes. This morning I decided to write down the times I am getting them, so far it's been 9:19, 9:26 and 9:38. Are these considered irregular and braxton hicks?
I have a doctors appointment today at 3 and plan to ask then, I just wanted some input before that point.
I just wanted to add - I was able to sleep last night, so I'm not sure if they were occuring all night long, but I do know 4 times I was awoken by them and that I felt really nauseated and sick to my stomach when that happened.

Open Question: This is serious...I'm not sure whether or not my friend is lying to me, but I want to help her in some way...?
(Mon, 05 Jan 2009 14:17:23 GMT)
Ok...so I'm really confused and worried about my friend. I've known her for 6-7 years. Or at least I thought I knew her...anyways. She's 18 years old (going to be 19 in February) and last week she told me that she's PREGNANT!!! I don't even KNOW who her boyfriend is, I think they've only been going out for a month or so (not 100% sure though) because she only just mentioned him to me the day before christmas. Apparently she moved out of her house and is now living with her bf, her ex bf (who is a friend of her bf's) and her ex's new gf (complicated, yeah I know) and my friend's parents are absolutely FURIOUS about her moving out! They don't know about her being pregnant yet, though. I think something fishy is going on, however, because she told me this news over MSN and she kept saying "I'm fine, I'm ok" and "lol". She keeps repeating herself. This really isn't like her and I don't know what's going on. I didn't think this situation was funny enough to "lol" about. I'm honestly not sure how to tell whether or not she's being truthful, but I have a really funny feeling about this. She called me a few nights ago and we talked for like 2 minutes...and we hardly said anything. She just kept laughing. I'm so confused and worried :( ....help???!!! Are there any questions I could ask her to figure out whether or not she's lying (without making it obvious)??? I don't wanna tell her that I don't believe her, when she could be telling me the truth, but I don't wanna believe something that isn't true. Also, do you think I should have a talk with her parents? Thank you for your answers!

Open Question: Mommy's and mommy's to be, did you ever move during your pregnancy? How did you handle all this HELP ME PLEASE?
(Mon, 05 Jan 2009 07:46:29 GMT)
Have any of you pregnant women moved out of state during your pregnancy? Like with no one but your husband/boyfriend/whatever? If so how did you handle not being by your family? How did you emotionally handle everything? Did you end up with postpartum depression?
I ask think because I am 17 and 19 weeks pregnant in March I will be moving to New York with my boyfriend and we will be with his family. I hate change for one. I don’t know how to emotionally handle not having any of my family there for me. I know my family doesn’t treat me right but its just the security of having them there if I did need them. My close family member will be just over 10 hours away. I am scared to death that I will get postpartum depression due to the alone feeling. Don’t get me wrong my boyfriend’s family is great but I just fear so much.
Next I know it may sound stupid but I am going to put my dog to sleep. Mind you she is 13 and her hips are going bad the vet said it is the best thing to do for there. There fore it has nothing to do with the move but I am just SO upset over putting my baby down I cant handle it I cry at just the thought.

Resolved Question: Confused About How Many Months Pregnant I Am!?
(Mon, 05 Jan 2009 06:55:37 GMT)
Hi Ladies,
I am 19 weeks pregnant today, and I read on a pregnancy site that you are officially 5 months pregnant at 18 weeks. How does that work? Can somebody explain the whole month/week thing to me?
Cheers!
Also, my due date is 1st June 2009... So what date did I conceive? Not that it matters, I am just curious!
Oh god, I forget when my last period was... Never mind that then lol
I thought it could have something to do with the 2 weeks conception making it 5 months - thats why I am asking, as logically I would have thought I wouldnt be 5 months pregnant until next week!

Open Question: UH OH ...MAN I MIGHT BE PREGNANT AGAIN!?
(Mon, 05 Jan 2009 05:48:25 GMT)
friday (january 2nd) my x-boyfriend and i had unprotected sex
more than twice he had pre-cum which was clear, but im not sure whether or not he had pre-cum inside me because he told me he couldn't control his pre-cum it just comes out.
while havin sex we stopped and he pulled out because he said he scared he might cum in me if he didn't pull out in time. and yes we tried the condom twice before we decided to do anything.
as of today when i went to the bathroom i saw spotting...light spotting when i wipe my self i haven't seen light spotting since a month after my miscarriage in october.
maybe 2 weeks before christmas i got a heavy period. which lasted 4 two weeks so i know its not that time again 4 my period to come back around. i don't take any birth control because after my miscarriage i wasn't having sex and i didnt think i was going have sex for a while
but things change.
my xbf and i are college students i will be 19 as of next month and he just turned 20 in november. with him working two jobs and with me getting big time job offers with car dealerships etc. im sure we would be able to care for a baby financially.
but we're not ready....but i willin to take care of my responsibilities
but could i be pregnant?
would i have to wait to weeks to know whether i could b pregnant or not?

Resolved Question: I might be pregnant and want to have an abortion?
(Mon, 05 Jan 2009 01:21:32 GMT)
I just might be pregnant, I'm 19 years old and I am not ready at all and I can't even support myself to live. I live in a small town, I'd have to leave town in order to get one and that involves at least a couple hundred bucks which I don't have. I can't get a job due to lack of transport and I'm pretty sure I'd get kicked out, it took my sister at least a year to find a one bedroom apartment which is $700 a month. Well my question is bold and please don't criticise I just need a method: Is there anyway to perform your own abortion? :( Please, my life is on the line! And I'm very very sure I am. My period is in a week but I've been thinking I am preggers for about a week aswell

Resolved Question: I need help! What can I do? ?
(Sun, 04 Jan 2009 21:16:22 GMT)
I am 19 years old and I live in a house with my 16 year old sister. My sister and I share the money for the bills, the rent, Electric, oil for the heating, food bills etc. We have been living together since June 2008. We both work. I'm doing the LCA as part of a fas course and I am being paid for that. I also work in the evenings for some extra money to help pay the bills. I live in Co.Clare. The problem is my sister got pregnant and gave birth 14 weeks prematurely. She can't not work and she has to stay in Dublin. She could have stay in Dublin for a few months, we have to wait till the baby is okay. My sister is going to have to find money to pay for an accommodation in Dublin to stay with the baby. I need to find money to pay for her half of the bills now. I'm not going to be able to all that money and either is she. Our parents won't help. I already asked them. I'm so worried about what is going to happen.
I don't earn too much money. The money I get only just pays my bills. Once I have paid for everything I have no money left for myself.

Resolved Question: Scared of miscarriage - 19 weeks had only 1 ultrasound at 6 weeks 4 days...?
(Sun, 04 Jan 2009 05:05:32 GMT)
I am almost 19 weeks pregnant and have a doctor's appointment on Tuesday...
I had one ultrasound done at 6 weeks 4 days, and everything was completely fine, but I didn't have any others, because my husband's insurance didn't kick in until January 1.
Now that we're getting closer to the appointment, I am absolutely terrified that I will not hear a heartbeat, or the baby won't be alive or anything.. I've had no bleeding at all, no severe cramping - a few here and there, but nothing major at all - and my belly is definately growing like it should be.
I know there is no actual way to tell until the doctor, but it would really ease my mind to hear others opinions or experiences, please!

Resolved Question: Baby name game.. ( A lot of Details!) Number 2!?
(Sun, 04 Jan 2009 04:23:57 GMT)
1.)Your 13 years old. Your mother,Cindy Jane Montreal, and your father, Russel Gene Carver, have just gotten a divorce. You feel lonely and you are terribly upset. You cannot be alone anymore so you rush over to your boyfriend, Dillon Raymond Ceverren's house. You two end up making love. 3 weeks after this happens, you start to throw up in the morning. You freak out because you may be pregnant. You call Dillon and he takes you to the store to get a pregnancy test. (Dillon is 15) You go into the bathroom and take the test. The test says positive. You are very upset. Dillon suggests its a faulty one and that he could take you to the doctor to get a test done. He takes you in and they check. You are pregnant. You have never been more upset in your life. How will you tell your parents? They would be soooo upset. Dillon takes you home. You tell your mother, because your father has already moved out. She slaps you right across your face and calls you names that no mother should ever call their children. She makes you pack some of your stuff, and she kicks you out. She tells your father and he says he is not going to deal with you. Dillons parents understood. They were not angry. You stay at his house through your whole pregnancy. You call his parents mom and dad. Since you are very skinny, the baby will be small as the doctors tell you. They say there is barely any room in there! You give birth a week before you are due. Dillon and his mother are with you when you delive. You deliver normally.The delivery has taken a toll on your body. You are tired and run down. The baby is a beautiful little girl. She looks like you and Dillon and soo many ways. She has Dillons light blonde hair, and you deep blue eyes. She weighs in at 4 pounds 9 oz. What will you name her?
2.) You are 17 and Dillon is 19. You live with him in his 2 bedroom apartment. Your mother barely speaks to you. Dillon has his high school deploma and is taking online college to become a Mechanic. You are still attending high school and getting straight A's. You and Dillon decide you are going to have a romantic night together. Well the condom slips. You bet that you are going to get pregnant again, and you are right, You find out 2 weeks later that you are pregnant. 4 months into the pregnancy, the doctor finds another baby! You are expecting twins! You and Dillon are the happiest! At 6 months along, you are put on bed |
