should still be miffed at my MOM for not telling me about sex? THAT you get pregnant when you do it? Now I am the mother of 4 and my husband is a preacher! I teach teens about sex education! I pray they listen!

What good would it do to be miffed at your mom? What is is what's meant to be. You have a beautiful child. Not every parent is comfortable enough to talk about sex with their kids. Mine sure didn't and I didn't get pregnant until I was 29.

My Mother in law and her mother never talked about it at all either it just was simply not done. So when the time came for me to talk to my daughter, she was impressed on how I was able to handle it, and she was even there when the subject came up. The only compliment I ever received from her was about how she would have loved to have heard my advise when she was a child. Please don't be miffed at your mother it is not her fault you learn from your parents maybe her mother never told her as well. Pray about it and let it go! Time heals all wounds.

Good for you, surely you learned after the first so I'm assuming you chose to go through with the other three. I'm also sure you don't regret your first, only might wish it came later but still you managed. I think you should let go of the bitterness with your Mom, that ship has sailed and clearly you're doing very well. Good for you to teach kids, it's nice to see you've learned from her mistakes and are trying to make a difference for others. Best of luck.

No, don't blame your mom.
It was a lifetime ago, and things happen for a reason.
You've lived and learned, and now you're trying to help others from what you have learned.
You are in life where you are supposed to be.
With your additional details - I don't believe your story at all now. First you think you should be miffed that they didn't tell you, then you say you're blessed that you didn't know. Contradictions = lies.

My mum told me about sex when I was young to warn me of the dangers...she had fallen pregnant at the age of 15 and given birth when she was 16 to my older sister. She warned me and warned me and I still had unprotected sex...I was a teenager and too shy to ask a boy to use a condom...I eventually fell pregnant at 19. By then my mother had died of cancer so she wasn't there to say I TOLD YOU SO...but I could feel her disapproval. I have to say that I learnt NOTHING from my experience as I am now 33 and pregnant with my 4th child. I am tired, stressed out, exhausted and have no life of my own...but you know what? I wouldn't have it any other way!

I hope you teach teens that sex is more than a physical act...and that it's something very special that you don't share with just anybody.
I told my daughter to ask herself if she would want to be involved with the guy for the rest of her life if she got pregnant....even if they didn't get married.
She's 22 & childless.

its not ur mom's fault. you knew what you were getting into. you go through health classes in school all of high school and you start the growing up program in 5th grade and learn about it all of middle school. thats YOUR own fault. the lesson you should've learned was to realize YOUR own mistake. and that some things you do can change your life with their consequences

Someone else just asked if things happen for a reason. Looks like things worked out well for you and with what you learned you know how to talk to teenagers.

I was 17 also, and I learned that it should be a mutual responsibility to bring a child into this world and take care of them.
