i traveled to mexico when i was 17. i went to study pottery and spanish. i started seeing a man 10 years older than i was- i got pregnant.

my abortion was fairly recent. it was in august. my nuvaring failed and i ended up pregnant. my boyfriend and i had discussed what we would do in the event of a pregnancy and knew that abortion was the right choice for us. but when it happened we were shocked. i foolishly thought it could never happen to me.

i was 22. i had just graduated from college and recently accepted into a teaching credential program. my ex-boyfriend and i just moved in together, everything was going in the direction it was supposed to.

i applied to boarding school in the spring. throughout the summer i was excited for this amazing opportunity. i had a boyfriend. we were having unprotected sex.

at 20 years old i got pregnant. my boyfriend has a 4 year old son already and he is a terrific dad. i didn't know i was pregnant until going to my family doctor.

my husband and i found out that we were having our second baby in january 2013. extremely unexpected, but we were over the moon.
