we were seriously in love at 18. birth control made me not recognize myself with the moods and body changes.

i got pregnant on my 22nd birthday. i was a senior in college studying biology with the plans of going on to get my phd. i have the grades and the research experience to do it, but a child was not in the plans.

i am 25 and i and i had two abortions. my first abortion was when i was 17. i found out i was pregnant weeks after graduating high school and the father was expecting with another girl.

i was just 18 years old.
a college freshman with big dreams.

two years ago my vacation was wonderful. i had the time of my life seeing ireland and experiencing everything it had to offer. i met someone in an irish haze one night at the after hours club.

the night i got pregnant i was celebrating two things - handing in my master's thesis and my birthday. it was a hot summer night, and a good friend introduced me to her friend.
