Pregnant and Alone

I am 17 years old and am going through a divorce. I found out that I was pregnant when I was 6 weeks along. My ex-husband had been telling me that I was pregnant but I didn't believe him. Well he was right.

We were married May 9 and I found out I was pregnant June 8. My first 4 months were hell. I threw up all the time. I was moody and gaining so much weight. But after my 4th month I stopped having the weight gain and I felt much better, and these last 5 months have been a breeze.

My husband was abusive when I was 6 or 7 months pregnant and my father broke his arm after he slapped me around and pushed me down our porch. So needless to say, we are not together.

I had a beautiful baby boy December 29. He weighed 7 pounds, 3 ounces. His father did not show up. Only my family came.

He is the best thing that has ever happened to me and I couldn't picture my life without him. I support him on my own and that makes me a better person. To all the girls who think it can't be done without a man: You are wrong; it can be!

Your baby's labor and delivery is like no other in the world. Let others know what your experience was like.
