I'm writing about the depiction of teen moms in the MTV show "16 and Pregnant" which, if you haven't seen it, is about girls who are 16 and well, pregnant. Anyway, I have a list of questions that I want to ask all of you girls who are expecting and moms. Please answer as honestly and openly as possible. And thank you so much in advance for your help!!

3) Were you and/or your partner using protection at the time of conception?

7) How did your peers/friends react to your news?

9) Is the baby's father actively involved in your pregnancy/raising your child?

[tasha41]

1) How old are you? 20 now. 18 when I got pregnant, 19 when I had her.

2) Where are you from? Canada

3) Were you and/or your partner using protection at the time of conception? BCP- TriCyclen Lo

4) When you found out you were pregnant did you consider adoption? Very briefly.. as in we stated our 3 options (keep, terminate, adoption)... once we talked together, we decided we'd only do an adoption if our families were willing to support us through that.

5) Did you consider abortion? Yeah. I had an early ultrasound to sort out how far along I was at a hospital where they did abortions actually. I asked to see a pregnancy counsellor and she asked me about what I was going to do and I was crying and I said I didn't know. She told me if her daughter was PG, she would want her to have an abortion. She told me she'd make me an appointment and I could show up or not. Obviously I didn't show up.

6) Did you hide your pregnancy from anyone? If yes, from who? Yeah, I hid it from my parents for a few weeks while I got up the courage to tell them

7) How did your peers/friends react to your news? They were all pretty supportive. When OH told some of his friends/acquaintances they asked him why I wasn't having an abortion though which was frustrating. Said we were ruining our lives etc.

8) If you were in high school, did you graduate/get your GED? I had already graduated a year prior

9) Is the baby's father actively involved in your pregnancy/raising your child? Yes

10) If yes, do you live with the father or somewhere else? No, we don't live together yet. I live with my parents, he lives with his.

11) Do you plan on marrying the father? Yeah, if we can ever afford a wedding!

12) Moms: was giving birth harder than you expected? What was the hardest aspect of giving birth (pain, father not around, no family support, ect)? No, it wasn't harder than I expected, labour was exactly what I thought, but I did NOT expect to have a c-section at all.. I thought about it and wondered how I was going to get a baby out but everyone assured me that was normal and my body would "do its thing". The worst parts were: 1) pain - back labour, 2) the nausea/vomitting, 3) nearly passing out, and 4) going in to have a c-section when I wasn't mentally prepared for how drastically it would affect the recovery

13) What was the biggest aspect of your former life you had to give up when you found out you were pregnant? Partying definitely.. I led a bit of a wild lifestyle, smoked, used marijuana more than 1x per week, and drank at least 2x per week, of course didn't sleep enough or eat properly either.

14) What was the best thing about finding out you were pregnant? I knew my OH would be behind me 100%, deep down I knew I was in it for the "long haul" with him, I could sense it, and since I got pregnant while I was on the pill it just felt meant to be

15) Were your parents supportive of your choice to have your baby? Did they try to encourage other options? Encourage isn't quite the word for it, my dad told me I should terminate and that I wasn't ready to be a mom and I wouldn't do a good job daily until I was like 20 weeks, even though he knew I was past the point where I could really go with that option he'd say "you're only 10 weeks you can still do it" (when I was actually further than that).. he SAID he would support any choice I made and he helped with $$ but emotionally I don't feel like he supports me to this day, he seems to punish me for it still. But they love my daughter and treat her well.

16) Do you plan on going back to school at any point? I really want to. I just don't know how I'll be able to afford it.

[xx~Lor~xx]

18, I was 17 when I conceived, 18 when I gave birth.
2) Where are you from?
Essex, UK
3) Were you and/or your partner using protection at the time of conception?
No
4) When you found out you were pregnant did you consider adoption?
No
5) Did you consider abortion?
No
6) Did you hide your pregnancy from anyone? If yes, from who?
Nope, i told my parents and OH's parents straight away. We did wait about a month to tell everyone else though.
7) How did your peers/friends react to your news?
Generally supportive
8) If you were in high school, did you graduate/get your GED?
Had left high school before I conceived.
9) Is the baby's father actively involved in your pregnancy/raising your child?
Yes
10) If yes, do you live with the father or somewhere else?
We live together
11) Do you plan on marrying the father?
That's the plan eventually, if things keep going similar
12) Moms: was giving birth harder than you expected? What was the hardest aspect of giving birth (pain, father not around, no family support, ect)?
Not really, I was always aware it was going to be extremely difficult. It was peculiar not being in charge of your body, i.e with contractions in labour, that was very uncomfortable and strange. The labour was definately the most difficult, when it came to the birth, determination just took over pain.
13) What was the biggest aspect of your former life you had to give up when you found out you were pregnant?
I'd get tired alot, so staying up till the early hours was no longer possible, I used to smoke occasionally, and drink the odd time. Both totally stopped as soon as I found out I was expecting. Haven't touched either since, other than maybe one drink at a special occasion. Other than that, there weren't huge changes to be made.
14) What was the best thing about finding out you were pregnant?
I was going to be a mum and OH a dad.
15) Were your parents supportive of your choice to have your baby? Did they try to encourage other options?
OH's parents were very happy for us. My parents were not supportive, insisting I was ruining my life and pushing me towards abortion. However that only lasted a day as I said I'd made my mind up and walked out. After that they were very supportive, and now they love her.
16) Do you plan on going back to school at any point?
Had already left before conceiving.

12) Moms: was giving birth harder than you expected? What was the hardest aspect of giving birth (pain, father not around, no family support, ect)?
There was a few complications during the pushing stage which was horrible and terrifying, but right up until then I was fine contractions were painful but they were manageable. I was happy and nervous at the same time!
13) What was the biggest aspect of your former life you had to give up when you found out you were pregnant?

Knowing that I was going to be a mummy

I can remember being petrified having to tell my mum. I was suppossed to be going to Uni in a few months time and I had to tell her that wasn't happening anymore. But she was brilliant. She was soo supportive and has been since.

Most definately! I'll be going to University in either 2011 or 2012. Just a lot closer to home rather than in a different Country!
