i am 21 years old, i just got my two year degree. i take care of an elder family member and took a year off to do so. i am engaged and i found out i was pregnant about a month or so in to the pregnancy.

my boyfriend and i have been together for a good amount of time now. a few weeks ago i found out i was pregnant. neither of us are in a position to actually have a child but i also know we would be able to take care of it if that would be our choice.

i found out when i was 21... i had stopped taking birth control because for so many days in a row i would forget to take my pill and didn't bother starting taking it again. i was busy with working, starting school soon and stressed about a lot of things.

i had two teen pregnancies with two different boys before abortion was legal. i had those babies - they remain the light of my life. both 'fathers' fled. at 22 i moved in with a man who seemed the right choice. i made it very clear that i would not have another child.

it wasn't hard for me to make my decision. if anything, i was more worried about what my husband would think. we're recently married, still very much in the newlywed stage.
