 | Stefania, I too am single and pregnant. Up until I found this messageboard, a few minutes ago, I was feeling very alone and depressed. I am 21 weeks pregnant with my first child. It is a boy! At first, I was considering abortion because I don't know the father. I was stupid enough to have about 10 one-nighters in a row, I don't even know half of their names or where they might live. I felt very guilty and even considered suicide. Another reason I didn't want to have this child was because the first four weeks that I was pregnant and didn't know, I was on a whole lot of drugs(mostly extacy and alcohol). I had finally decided on abortion and was trying to get money for it when I was arrested for shoplifting. I spent a month in jail. When I got out, it was too late for me to get a legal abortion, so I was forced to keep it. Now, I am so happy that it happened. I am still scared and I feel extremely guilty, but if I could go back in time, I wouldn't change a thing. Everytime I feel him kick, I smile. He hasn't even been delivered yet and, already he brings joy to my life. I know we're in for a long, hard road, but I am ready. I have been sober ever since I found out I was pregnant and I couldn't be happier. Anyways, I should stop now because I too could go on forever. |
