I believe that everything in life happens for a reason. My mom got pregnant with me when she was 17, and she was an amazing mother and we are very close and talk every single day.

I have a 7 month old, and it is my first child. I feel stronger and more sane than I ever have in my life because of having grown through my pregnancy and his birth, even though things are still hard.

Every person in this world brings something new and important into it. We all have a reason for existing, no matter how small our contributions seem to be.

But also, keep in mind that at your age, it's very common to be worried that you might be pregnant and not be. I'm pretty sure that I thought I was pregnant every month for several years.

There are also many families who are not blessed with being able to have a baby of their own, and they would be eternally grateful for the chance to give a baby a family and home and make that dream come true. There are options.

Don't forget to breathe. (((huggs)))
