This is a tribute to single and pregnant soon to be mothers:
I am now an 18 year old single mother of a 1 month old beautiful baby girl. When I found out I was pregnant the biological “sponsor” of the baby whom I had been with for 1 year and a half wanted me to get an abortion. I chose not to choose that path, and I kept my baby. He found someone else and I was left alone. For 9 months, I was alone in my journey. I live in an extremely conservative country. In fact, I was even kicked out of my college and I was despised by some of the members in my family. They wanted me to feel ashamed of my situation. Though I wasn’t, I DIDN’T LET THEM DO THAT TO ME. I can’t deny how hard single pregnancy was for me. I was depressed and I cried most of the time. Today, I am more independent and stronger as ever. My daughter taught me that. She carries my last name now and I love that she does. I am more respected by the people who matter to me. MY MORNINGS ARE AMAZING with her by my side. Sometimes I think I am unworthy of her, but I’m thankful that God had chosen me to be her mother. She is the best thing in my life, and has become my every reason. She is my innocent beautiful baby and the best part is, I get to make all the decisions. I don’t have someone else pestering me to make decisions that will affect her life. Some people consider her to be a mistake. If that’s the case, she’s the best mistake I had ever made. I’m in love with the world through the eyes of a girl, and I couldn’t be happier. I salute ALL single pregnant mothers of today. They are making the best decision in their life, I know so.

That's an awesome story and I admire your honest and strength.
Someone posted a story on here that reminded me of your situation.
It went something like this:
There are no such things as mistakes, when a woman gets pregnant in heaven a bunch of baby angels are flying around shouting pick me! pick me! And as your day get closer God sends down one of these perfect babies down for you for you to love and receive love from. Therefor in the Lords eyes, there are no mistakes when it comes to life.

Hello. I first want to say that I am proud of you! I am 20 yrs old and 5 months pregnant with my first baby. And I too am alone through my pregnancy. I have something to look forward to. The birth of my child. Because the past 5 months have been nothing but (and i hate to admit it) pure hell. I get excited from time to time but the majority of my time i am depressed and cry. I just want to be held and comforted. I want to share my expierce throughout my pregnancy and becoming a mother with the father of my baby.You give me hope, once my baby is born, that my baby will give me all the loving and comforting I will need. Thank you for that. Best wishes to both you and your precious baby girl.

3 months after i gave birth rasising my daughter as a single mother has been the most rewarding job
she makes me feel the epitomy of being human for i have beenable to give life. not only that, i am more than inspired to strive harder in life to become the best person we can be. the ultimate testament in our life. i love her dearly, i never taught that anyone was capable of loving this much. i am a better person because of her. god knows what i'd be if i decided to loose her. i can't even imagine.

My dear, I give you credit for following your heart and not letting others make you feel you are not capable and worthy.
I too had a child at a young age, I was raped at 13, and had my baby. I decided to keep him and raise him myself as a single parent. I was in a situation similar to you without alot of support or belief from others that I could "do this"...
My son is 25 now and has been a tremendous joy in my life. He has also been a motivating factor that allowed me to be determined and focused, and to succeed in whatever endeavors I followed.
When "your heart" is in the right place and you follow it, the magic happens for you. Keep this att_tude because this will bring you toward your destiny with streangth and confidence and you will be able to make your dreams come true.
I am now 40 and still single, by choice, and have had a wonderful life fulfilling many of my dreams. To me "life" is an exercise of learning lessons, growing and experiencing life with pa__sion and happiness as it develops and changes. It is important for me to trust that my destiny is secure and to trust spirit.
A good friend once explained that when you are unsure and you feel that your fear is blocking your faith...
you can picture yourself walking along a path where you reach a cliff edge that halts your progress... and when you look forward you see the path has ended and below you cannot see the ground in order to step forward to reach the other side, where the path continues, and when you look at the abyss that falls between the two places you are confused and fearful...
( this is natural to feel fearful initially as the unknown makes this seem really scary...You may take as long as you like to find your confidence...) story pause
INTERJECTION
------You will find with time and experience that the scariest thing in life... is "fear" itself...when we do not confront and conquer them we can get stuck and stagnant because as you confront your fears, and overcome them... they become your streangths... and when you do not confront them, this keeps you from your pursuit and accomplishment of your divine and unique life path...
you will find that once you start to confront and conquer fears you find that this is so empowering that the endorphins are amazing, they will allow you to feel the beauty and happiness of what it is to truly be you...----------
story cont.
You can stand at the edge, and look longingly at the other side, as you are wondering how you will ever get there
OR
You can step, with your faith as you believe that the bridge will be built under your feet, the amazing thing is that "the bridge" is built a step at a time under your feet but only as you take the steps of faith.
I am now pregnant again at 40 and blessed with another child due in April. I find myself again experiencing this pregnancyas a single parent. This seems to be my destiny...
I feel that this is a path that has been designed for me on a much higher level than anything I could design and therefore should not ask why or what at this time because again it is something i will understand better from retrospect...and it will be very interesting to experience another single parenting experience at 40 comparatively to 14 years of age.
So I do understand how it feels to be you, and I wish you and all the single mothers and cherished children tremendous happiness and joy throughout your developing lives...

TO TRACY: The greatest power we have been given is free will, the choice to take risks. Once everything is definite, change will never occur. My greatest grat_tude to you Tracy. You are a woman of strength. In our “pursuit for a divine and unique path…” our strength will prevail. You are at the epitome of being human for you have given life, and appreciate the life you bear amidst all circ_mstances. If there were only more people like you in this world, maybe, peace will be justified. How you are one person to admire Tracy. Your beautiful baby that will enter our world in April is more than lucky.
