My 1st daughter wasn't an aciident... I dont like that word... she was just a happy mistake. My husband and I had her when I was 15 and he was 17... We got married in 2008 and just had another daughter she was planned. We had a miscarriage in December of 08 and finally got Cady in November of 09. We are so happy to be parents and wouldn't have it any other way.

Oh yea i bet my son used to roll over while i was in class... I was a sophomore in high school and all my friends used to freak out when he moved it was a blast

me and my now fiance found out i was pregnant 10 days after i turned 18 and she wasnt planned at all. what happened was i was on birth control for a while, and then i didnt have insurance and it didnt cover it and it was too expensive. what was crazy and ironic was, i was told i wasnt able to have kids anyways, i took birth control so my cramps weren't as bad. so i had been off of birth control for like... 3 months before i actually got pregnant. so it was pretty amazing because i was really starting to accept the fact that i wasnt able to have kids of my own. so she is going to be the most special thing ever and i cant wait to meet her in just 11 weeks! but the next one will def be planned!

My son was an accident but the greatest gift I could have ever received. He was not planned and came early into my relationship and me and the father are no longer together. In a way I am glad I had my son because I had cervical cancer and had a less chance to have children and thought in a way I couldnt get pregnant. Boy was I wrong! lol. But now I do not know if I can have anymore children. I got pregnant at 18yrs and turned 19 when i was 2 months pregnant. I am 20 now and my son is going 2 be 5 months old.

My boyfriend and I have been together 4 years and didn't plan on starting a family until we were through with college. I was on birth control the whole time. I got severe pain to the point I thought I was dying, went to the ER and in 15min gave birth to my beautiful 3lb 13oz daughter Angelina. We were both kind of thrown into the parenthood role overnight, but I wouldn't change anything about the whole event. I now have a very interesting story to tell her when she grows up =)

Also, my boyfriend and I were together for 2 1/2 years at that point. and are still together--it will be 5 years this year!

Michelle - posted on 02/01/2010

It was an accident. I was on birth control for 2 years and I got on antibiotics one time when I got sick and it pretty much "minus'd" out my birth control.. and I ended up pregnant. But everything happens for a reason, and my daughter is my absolute WORLD! :)

and for those who GOT PREGNANT PURPOSELY, and give your babies up for adoption or have an abortion-- i feel sososo sorry for your baby.

Lizette - posted on 02/01/2010

Me and my then boyfriend now hubby were 17 and 19 when we found out we were expecting. Big surprise! Fast forward and we have been together for 13 years, and have 3 beautiful girls. It was meant to be and I wouldn't change a thing! I love being a young mom. :)

Stephanie - posted on 02/01/2010

I understand your situation, but you should at least wait until like Jan of your senior year of highschool, so you don't have to struggle with your exhaustion to graduate... unless you're pregnant already, just wait a little longer. I found out I was pregnant the week of my graduation, and was totally freaked out, but it grew on me... lol no pun intended, and now I have a beautiful 11 month old daughter and I love her soooooooo much

Samantha - posted on 02/01/2010

I was 14 when I found out I was pregnant....totally unplanned and absolutely terrifying! My family was angry and so was my son's fathers family...so angry in fact they picked up and moved 5-6 hrs away a month after I found out. I looked into adoption but couldn't do it. My thought process was...I did this, it was my mess up and no one elses and my baby shouldn't suffer because I wasn't smart about what I was doing. I had my son a month after my 15th birthday and don't regret one single day of it. He is the best "mess up" I've ever made. He is everything to me and wouldn't change it for the world. It's been a crazy and scary and amazing experience....I wouldn't recommend having a baby so young because it makes school, friends and life in general hard but if you are make the best of it. My son is going to be 7 in April and I couldn't imagine life without him.

Abby - posted on 02/01/2010

i wouldnt call mine an accident but it wasnt planned...i was dating my then bf (now husband:) ) and weve been dating for 5 months and we were away from each other for like 2 2 1/2 and when he finally got to move to where i was at...well im sure yall know the rest lol...but we are very excited and like i said just got married. im sure we wouldve liked to wait a lil longer just so we could have got some money saved and actually got our life straight but like i said we are very excited about our little boy :)

Sammi - posted on 02/01/2010

i found out i was pregnant 5 days after i turned 17, now im 18 and my daughter is 4 months old. me and her father wer trying for a baby but then decided we should wait as we wer rather young and wanted to enjoy being young. it was mainly his decision as i have always wanted to have a baby. that was about 2 months before i found out i was pregnant, and i found out wen i was 4 weeks gon. he left us wen my baby was 3 1/2 weeks old

Sana - posted on 02/01/2010

I was 15 when I found out that I was pregnant. And it was a total accident. I had my baby and I kept her because I knew that it was my responsibility to take care of her. The doctors said it was a miracle that I even got pregnant. I wasn't supposed to be able to have kids so I knew Kambree was my little miracle. I am 17 ow ad she is about to be 19 months old. I am married to her father now and could not be ay happier with the decision I made to keep our little blessing! Abortion and adoption were not options that I ever thought about. I don't plan on having anymore children until I am atleast 21 because I want to finish college and have a steady career.

Marina - posted on 01/31/2010

my husband and i got engaged when we were together 5 months and we had a plan to get married after i went to college and everything and then to have kids after that. but we were still going with what happens happens because we knew that anything could happen. together a little over a year and fould out i was pregnant (day before senior prom lol) now we have our beautiful 2 month old daughter and couldnt be happier. and we had her because we loved her the second we found out, never even considered any other options

I actually didnt know I was pregnant until I was rushed 2 the hospital for high blood pressure. I found out I was pregnant on 12/8. turned 20 on 12/9. found out what I was havin 12/10 and had my son on 12/12. So he was a surprise. His father and i have an off and on relationship for about a yr and 4 months now. I luv my son dearly but his father is another story....of course I luv him 4 what he has givin me and I would do anything for him but our realationship needs 2 change.

Andrea - posted on 01/31/2010

my son wasnt planned he was our little surprise....we knew we wanted kids together but we had only been dating 5 or 6 months when we found out...i dont know how may times from people wh odidnt even really know me called my son a mistake and i wouldnt know how to take care of him and were too young to have kids but they were wrong my bf and i have been together almost 2 years now we own a house and 2 cars and are happier than can be!

Sarah - posted on 01/31/2010

i would NEVER call my son an accident .. we just didn't plan to have him .. but he is the best suprise ever.
anyway my reason for having my son was that my big sister had an abortion a year before and i was so excited about the thought of becoming an auntie as was my mum of becoming a grandma (before she made up her mind completely that she wanted a termination) that when i found out that i was pregnant i couldn't bear thinking of the other option as i was gutted with my sister.
however i have always wanted to be a fairly younger mother like my own mum .. she had 6 kids from ages 18-23 .. i just never really wanted to be 19 (i'm 20 now) when i had my son .. more 21 with my first child .. but thats life.

Amber - posted on 01/30/2010

it was def a accident, me and my fiance had just gotten back together after having a major fallin out where we didn't talk to each other for 3 months. we got back together in late jan of 09, found out i was pregnant fathers day of 09. i was scared to death i had no idea i was pregnant, we always used condoms. but i'm now 9 months pregnant and i don't regret a thing. i plan on finishing my senior year, and going to college in '11.

Kaleisha Leigh - posted on 01/28/2010

i found out i was pregnant at 2 weeks, my mum and bf didnt want me to have the baby but i knew i wanted to keep it so i went against them, even tho i was only 2 weeks i loved my baby so much and was so against abortion and could never give my child up for adoption so my mind was made up from the start, the first time i felt him move was amazing, my bf and my mum started warming upto the idea and my mum went crazy buying clothes and stuff for the baby, my bf would always talk to my belly and our son would kick weneva he heard his daddy's voice, he was born 4 weeks prem, the first time i saw him and held him was the most amazing moment in my life, he was worth it all (:

Zoe - posted on 01/28/2010

My partner and I were together for a couple of months when we started trying for a baby, I know it sounds nuts but we just knew we were meant for each other, and didn't see the point in waiting any longer. We told our close friends and family that we were trying. Everyone was very excited for us, even our parents. I fell pregnant when I was 17 and planned it so that I could finish high school. I'm now 18 about to turn 19 and our beautiful baby girl is now 8months old and she is my life, wouldn't change anything for the world.

India - posted on 01/27/2010

mine was an accident, but i'm glad it happened. it helped me to grow up and i feel like when i was pregnant, a part of my heart that was messed up from all the dumb high school drama was healed so that my heart could grow bigger. i never knew i could love another human so much

Catalina - posted on 01/27/2010

Hi, idd love to tell u my story.. well im 19 and i found out i was pregnant at almost three months.. it was unplanned and before i knew how far i was i wanted to abort thinking i was only 3weeks... but when i went i was already 3 months! so i didnt want to kill an innocent child especially my own knowing she was fully grown. i even regret ever thinking about doing it. im happy now that i didnt and i have a baby girl on the way due in march, although my boyfriend and i were not ready, we are facing the consiquences and now we look at it as a blessing. theres a reason why i got pregnant and she means the world to me. so now u know my story lol

Monique - posted on 01/25/2010

me and my fiance had planned to have a baby, but as everyone else's story goes, not this early. i had my daughter at 19, which isnt really young. i wanted to be a young parent because i wanted to be able to keep up. my daughter Natasha is now 7 months old and i wouldnt trade her for anything. i love being a stay at home mom (even though right now we cant afford it). i have had 3 miscarriages also with my ex, and i guess it just wasnt meant to be because i got pregnant with Natasha 3 months into mine and my fiances relationship.

Chelsey - posted on 01/19/2010

Me and my boyfriend wanted a baby idk what we were thinking at the tyme but we were together 2 months when we decided and then about a month later we realized that we were to young and werent ready for a baby then about three months later i went to get surgery and they had took blood work two weeks before and that morning of the surgery 1 day after my 18th birthday i found out i was pregnant now i don't regret it but i wish we would have waited and thought about what we were doing before we didnt it!!!! So it was kind of a planned accident/oops but i would never tell her that she is the most important and amazing person in my life!

my daughter was an accedent i was 16 when i fell pregnant i was with her father for a month wen i fell pregnant and we broke up wen i was 4 months pregnant but she is now 4 months old and i love her 2 bits i wouldn't change a thing

Sarah - posted on 01/19/2010

My daughter was the biggest accident in my entire life! lol. I was 16 when I found out that I was pregnant. Her daddy and I had been dating for 8 months, and he had given me a promise ring after 5 months of dating. He and I got married when I was 3 months pregnant.
I chose to have and keep my daughter because I couldn't see my life any other way. I had people pulling me to every option.
I didn't choose abortion because, for one, I'm pro-life. and two, I didn't want to know how I would feel on the day that would have been my due date.
I didn't choose adoption because I didn't want to walk down the street and see every kid with my eyes or Matt's nose and think "That might be my baby." Matt even told me that he wouldn't let me put her up for adoption, and that if I didn't want her he would raise her by himself. That's what really made me realize he was going to stick around.
I chose to keep her because I wanted to watch her grow up. Even though it would be hard to go through my Senior year with a baby, I love her to death!

My first was not planned at all, he was punching holes in the condoms, (long story)and I didn't know. Had my lovley Ms. Makayla in July of 99. My second wasn't avoided, we were going "bare back" and thought he was sterial. My second was planned but it fell apart and I put her up for adoption. My last was planned for ,but concieved about 6 mths prior to expected.

Jessica - posted on 01/19/2010

My husband and I planned our son. He has a daughter from a previous relationship but we have custody of her so I have been rasing her like she is mine. My daughter is 3 yrs and my son is 5 months on the 20th. We tried for 9 months and nothing... I wanted a baby so bad. At the end of December of 08 I found out I was pregnant. We were so excited!!! When we told our daughter she was super happy too.

We had planned our pregnancies, the first one ended in a missed miscarriage. But we tried again, on Australia day 09 I gave birth to our little princess, she will be 1 in 8 days. We plan on trying for another around August this year.

both of mine werent planned. 1st son is 3 and im expecting my 2nd in march. i personally dont believe i could have had an abortion with either of my children and adoption just wasnt an option for me. i believed i was strong enough to have my children and i think im doing pretty well :)

wo planned our son, (and our "daughter" ;) 9 weeks pg) i had our first when i was 19, and i am 22 now, and having our second. we decided that we wanted to be young parents, and have our kids in the wedding photos,and do our travling with them. :)

Lynsey - posted on 01/16/2010

So I um... "accidentally" dropped one of my birth control pills down the sink one morning. ;) nahhh just kidding. It was really an accident. I kept taking the same pills after that one dropped. Big mistake.... We were planning on waiting a while before we had a child, but we were both expecting it to happen since we um "did it" so much, and both knew I was never good with birth control. I was on it months before and ended up pregnant, before this one, but I miscarried a month after. He's just.....very fertile. Very very fertile. So, I blame him. Lol. But, I wouldn't trade this little acrobat inside my tummy for anything (: I've only seen her once through ultrasound and am already in love. More so than with my fiance !

Iysha - posted on 01/16/2010

I was kind of planning on having a baby, just not as soon as it happened. My Fiance thought he had a "problem" because he and his ex had tried for a year and nothing happened...no baby. Afew months after they broke up, his ex got with another guy and she became pregnant right away. I was pregnant 2 months after stopping my birth control. lol. We were planning on getting married and I knew he was the one I wanted to be with so I told him and he couldn't believe it....He wasn't truly excited until the doctor confirmed it. I wanted a baby so bad and that was my opportunity even if it happened sooner than expected.

Jaimi - posted on 01/16/2010

My husband and I where best friends and dated all each others friends and got together kind of on accident. but we where only together for about 3 months when i got pregnant. we had talked about it for the future but not right then but it just made us grow up. we are so happy with our little one and could not have asked for more. she is one and a half and we are just starting to become financially stable but when we are we plan on having another one hopefully close to the time my daughter is 2. i think though if i was in your situation i would have done the same thing.

Kelsey - posted on 01/16/2010

awe thats good haha mi mom freaked right out and wanted me to give her up for adoption..but i couldnt do that to my bf...he has a son who is two and hasnt seen in a year because the mom is well.....yea lets not go there haha and also because i could never give up my own child....the reason mi mom freaked was ebcause i found out i was a month pregnant....exactly a month after i turned 16 hahah....so she wasnt happy about that. but she stood behind my choice and as i got closer to the 6 month point she went from being pissed to going crazy that the baby was almost here and she wanted to see her...and as for mi labour i went in saturday night at 9 and i was 4 cms so they kept me over nigth cuz mi contractions were every 14 mins..but then at 11 i layed down and went to bed...and they stopped...i sleept till 8 sunday morning and then got up and they srated again and by 9 i was 5cm they broke my water then i went and sat in the hot shower from 915 till 11:45....then i went back to the bed...pushed 3 times..and i had her by 11:53 hahah

And as for you planning on having yours at 17 im proud you choose to do so...i have a friend who is only 16 and already has less thatn a 60% chanceof getting pregnant...if you have medical problems that will make it harder to conceive the older you get..i say go ahead and have a baby when your 16-18...as long as you can handle
