it was last november that i found out i am pregnant. here in my country its a taboo to get pregnant before marriage even having sex is forbbiden for unmarried girl or boy.

thank you, for life

“you saved my life,” i had told the provider.

i was 18, in my freshman year of college and having sex with my high school sweetheart. in late september i thought i had the flu. i never really thought about the possibility of being pregnant until one of my girlfriends saw me vomiting at school one day.

i was in college when i was date raped. i went to a party and suddenly everyone was gone except the two of us. i had no car and the buses were done running for the night. i was in a dangerous part of town and he knew i was scared to walk 5 miles back to my dorm alone.

i was 20 when he promised me he was infertile, and i trusted him. why wouldn't i? he was a close friend and had never lied to me before.

i was 20 years old and in a terribly dysfunctional relationship. mentally and emotionally abusive, as well as the constant infidelities.
