So...I thought I'd introduce myself I'm Gaby, I'm 17 and my boyfriend (he's 20) and I are expecting a little boy on July 21st.
I feel really, really guilty of how lucky I've been with my situation, I haven't really heard a story like it
My little story...
So be and my boyfriend first 'saw' each other 2 years ago in October. He works for a family business selling fresh produce. Anyway, he was working down in my town on a Saturday market, and my mum and I were shopping. To put it simple it was like how you see it in films - he caught my eye. Every week after that I went down with my mum shopping, just to get a glimpse of how gorgeous he was. It got to about January last year and this time he caught me looking but instead of getting freaked out, he bowed his head with the massive grin on his face. From that point on we would always catch one another looking, and whenever he saw me his face would just light up.
Then in February, my mum dragged me over to him to pay for our shopping, both of us acting like big baby's grinning and blushing but trying to hide it. He gave us a receipt and said 'see you later' haha . <<< that was on my birthday my mum being my mum obviously had worked out by now that I liked him, and she was like 'oh his name is Matt' (it said on the receipt). So me being me :L it was facebook time hahaha. I searched Matt and our town and there he was . So being bold as I am I added him and things just took off, we were going out within 2 weeks of me sending him a message, and to this day I still believe it was love at first sight.
So I first got pregnant in June/July and I made the worst decision of my life by aborting the little angel. But although we felt like we were doing the right think, it ripped both of our hearts apart, and so we promised ourselves if it ever happened again, we'd keep our little creation.
After that summer, I started a new school to take my A-levels(Maths, Further Maths and Economics). I stayed at his during the October half term and well I must have conceived during that week whilst I was on the pill.
But instead of being scared by it, me kind of realised it was like God was giving us a second chance, to make things right. We told our parents, some were angry, some were disappointed, all our grandparents were thrilled but now everyone is so excited. My parents are being so supportive, and so are his.
I'm still at school, however, I haven't taken any exams this year. My Head of Sixth came up with a brilliant plan. This year 2012-2013 is a learning year where I'll go to class but not sit any exams. Next year 2013-2014, I'll return to school in the autumn and take exams in the summer of 2014. So I'm basically going to be a year behind. But that means, if little Joshua is ill etc I can take time off but not fall behind on school work
At the moment me and matt currently don't live together, however we've just brought our first home (brand new ) and we'll be able to move in by the end of April.
We are still completely besotted by each other, and everything has turned out more perfect than I would ever have imagined
But that's where I feel guilty. Things don't always work out like the way they have done for me, and I feel so privileged to come from and upper class background, with a supportive parents and a boyfriend that loves me to pieces. I just don't feel I deserve it. I almost feel like I'm living in a dream world.
I'd love to here some of other peoples stories and make some young mummy friends, I haven't spoken to any pregnant people, young or old, so I've kinda alienated myself
