As a 19-year-old mom-to-be and pro-choice when it comes to abortion, I could never have one myself. I loved my little bean when he was just two lines on a stick at 9 weeks pregnant, and my love for him grows more and more every day. He is truly a miracle baby - I was told I wasn't going to easily get pregnant, however here I am! An accident, but never a mistake. I know that I won't be experiencing life as other 19-year-olds do, but there are SO many young moms in my same shoes that there really isn't a standard way to experience life at this age! This baby changed my life for the better - prior to finding out I was pregnant, I began feeling unmotivated to finish college. Now that I am pregnant, my drive to finish college and earn my degree is higher than ever so that I can offer financial stability for my family. I have so much support from my home that, even though my fiancé and I could find our own place and make things work on our own, my family insists that we live with them for the first year because they WANT to help us, not because we expect them to! I do support the choices of other young pregnant women who decide to terminate their pregnancy, because I would be lying if that wasn't a thought that crossed my mind when first finding out I was pregnant. But when there's a will, there's a way! I know that I'll be okay and being a young mom hasn't ruined my life at all - it has only changed the direction it was heading in. I'm not complaining. I love my unborn more than life itself, and I wouldn't change it for the world.
