can you tell me stories on your pregnancies and struggles with them?

Question

teen pregnancies
sick pregnancies

Answer 1

Well i had my first when I was 18, if you consider that a teen pregnancy I kinda do. Anytime you have a baby at a young age when you're not prepared and not ready it can be difficult. I did most of it alone, the father was not involved because he was scared. Don't you think it's funny that we are scared too but we aren't allowed to ignore it because we are the ones with a living being growing inside of us? Men can be so insensitive. It's really nice if you can rely on someone but otherwise don't get too invovled in wanting to rely on someone. People will only dissappoint you and you will end up getting hurt. That doesn't mean shut people out who want to help but don't count on it. I got lucky I had no morning sickness I'm on my third pregnancy. Like I said I got lucky. I'm doing good now, but my daughter's father left me when I was 5 months pregnant and I did it all alone until my husband came along when my daughter was almost 2. It's a struggle but I think in the end it's worth it. I would cry myself to sleep at night wondering how in the heck I was going to get through another day of working two jobs, going to school, trying to make sure that I had a babysitter not wanting to get fired if I didn't have a babysitter and still coming home at night and spending some time with my sweet baby girl. But everytime that I look into her eyes, to this day, I can tell it was worth it. The more we give up for our children the more we appreciate them at least that is the way that it should be. There are times when I wonder where I could be right now if I'd put her up for adoption instead but no matter how much less stress I'd be under I cannot picture my life without her. If you ever need anyone to talk to feel free to email or contact me via IM. It always helps to have someone to talk to.

It really helps to watch pregnancy shows on the discovery channel and so on it helps you to know what to expect. I watched them all day when I was pregnant with my first. Insomnia is normal you've got a million things on your mind a million things to prepare for. and it doesn't change just becase you've already got a kid. I've got 2 already, I'm 20 weeks along with my 3rd and I still lay awake at night thinking about everything.

I've had my kids via c-section. My daughter was almost 9 lbs yikes, I'm a little thing. My son was premature and was only 4lbs 14 oz a big difference in size for me I'm curiouse on how this one will be. With my son though I was sick, I was in the hospital almost the whole time. This one is going good so far.

Answer 2

My first pregnacy I was 21 and it was bad but not to bad...........my husband got killed when I was 3 months which caused a lot of stress, then at 5 1/2 months I came down with chicken pox while pregnant which put me in the hospital for a week, other than that nothing major never any morning sickness gained just the right amount of weight, no weird cravings anything and I delivered a beautiful healthy 7lb girl..............my next was when I was 25 and it was totally uneventful and I had a 8lb 12oz boy, third was when I was 27 and I had problems at the beginning and almost lost her, a lot of spotting premature labor etc and was on bed rest most of the first 5 months, I ended up having her 3 weeks early she was barely 6lbs and had problems eating so it took her a long time to gain weight, at 28 I had an ectopic pregnancy which was very painful both physically and mentally, then at 29 I got pregnant with my son and man I was sick from day one morning sickness lasted all day for the first 4 months then felt good about 2 months then went into toxemia when it kept getting worse and they couldn't get the fluid off me and my blood pressure down the delivered my son 6 1/2 weeks early and he was a blue baby, thankfully he is a happy healthy 7 year old now, the doctor had to do a c-section with him because I was so unstable and my husband thought he was going to loose both of us, I stroked out on the operating table so we were both in the hospital till he was almost a month old. My tubes were tied during the c-section because my husband and the doctor knew another pregnancy would kill me.

Answer 3

I'm 42 years young. I had my daughter when I was 24 and my son when I was 37. Talk about differences LOL. I had two miscarriages between them as well to deal with. For the most part my pregnancies were uneventful I didn't have morning or evening sickness like other do, I did have to go to the bathroom more..I make tiny babies though my daughter was 6 lbs. 7 ounces and my son was 6 lbs 12 ounces. She was 18 inches long and he was 19..I had her naturally but my son was C-sectioned because my blood pressure went up and his was falling..We both did ok and are well now. Each one is different each one is exciting waiting to meet that new person you created and it can be a scary time as well..but I believed that my children were gifts from god and I placed their health in his hands.Good Luck on your pregnancy
