Hi everyone! I'm a 20yr old college student, majoring in Audiology. I have a boyfriend of 1.5yrs to whom I hope to be engaged and then married soon!
I joined this forum because after quitting the contraceptive pill due to stomach problems, I noticed signs of pregnancy and took a test. To my surprise, it was positive! I am very nervous and a little scared, but also very excited, because I have always dreamed of when I was old enough to be a mother. I wish my dream could've stalled a few more years, but the cards have been dealt and it's best just to deal with them.
I have 3 kittens who also think I'm their mommy (I'm as good as!) I go to school and my part time job and for now am just trying to make it through college.
By joining this forum I hoped to find help and support through this new, frightening, exciting life experience. Because, frankly, I may be good at reading a textbook but I don't know too much about parenting (or being pregnant!).
Thanks in advance for all the help and advice and stories, I'm looking forward to it.
 
Hi everyone and welcome!! Im also new to this particular website so I have come along to introduce myself!!

I'm currently 26 weeks pregnant, due on 14th May 2010
Im 20 years old (21 in March)
Im living in Belfast, Northern Ireland
I share an apartment with my Boyfriend and father of my unborn child Gary
I work as an air hostess (Im grounded now as health and safety measure)
I dont knw the sex of the baby as I want it to be a surprise!

I'm a very happy chatty and independant person who loves socialising and a good laugh!!

I hope to get to know you all and your stories too!!!
