Pregnant Women Stories from Florida, United States

Lady A's Story: my boyfriend told me that he was wearing a condom..he didnt confess accidental ejaculation and that fact that he wasnt wearing the condom i gave him until about an hour afterwards. I was very upset but i thought i'd be ok with plan b, unfortunately i took the second pill late. i had been asleep, and didnt awake in time for the second dosage..i took it later, approx 3 hrs beyond the 12 hour period between doses, unsuccessfully. He said that he would leave me if i had the baby. Im about 2 weeks pregnant and im completely broke. I had to pay my rent and tuition with the last of my savings.. im out of work and out of options..and basically dealing with it all alone.

Lady B's Story: My husband just walked out on me and he said he wasn't coming back, so far he's been true to his word. He's been supporting me while I've been going to school full time. We've been struggling financially but now he's left me with no money at all and before he left I told him that I suspected I was pregnant and he told me he didn't want another baby now, because frankly we can't afford another child. Now I feel like I can barely take care of myself and my daughter, my mother is helping but there's no way I could support another child, and seeing how I don't have any type of income now I don't seem to have many options at all.

Lady E's Story: My name is S. I'm a 21 year old mother of 1 who just went through one of the hardest times of my life. My partner's father passed away last month and we both lost our jobs, and eventually our home.
We have moved in with my father for the time being and are working our way back to having both feet on the ground, as they say. I am quite careful with tracking my menstrual cycles as well as my ovulation, but it appears that this time it didn't work out as well as usual. Humans are fallible. I just know in my heart that this isn't the right time for another child, and I have accepted that and am moving forward in the only way I know how.

Lady G's Story: I am 16 years old. I am number 9 out of 310 in my class ranking, with a 4.166 GPA on a 4.0 scale. My boyfriend and I are incredibly in love, but we made the most unwise decision. Apparently he said that he pulled out, but I am over a week late on my period. I cry every night regretting what I have done. I would hate to lose the love of my life because we made a choice that we would never do again. Since I have over 5 hours homework, so I don't have a job. I am going to take a test, but I have to do it in secret and with only $10. In order to have an abortion, I would need to get a parental notification. Having either of my parents, or his parents, would result in him not seeing me. I am willing to make a responsible choice, my studies are
the most important part of my potential.

Lady L's Story: I'm almost 25, married, and have two kids. I'm extremely low income, as my husband cannot work, nor take care of our children, so we have to rely on his disability for income. We recieve public assistance as well, but it's barely enough to get by, and a lot of the time, I go without just so that the rest of my family doesn't have to.

I am on the birth control pill, camila by name, because I'm breastfeeding. I knew it had a good chance of failure, but I hadn't had any problems thus far. Now I have a positive home pregnancy test, and I know there's no way I can afford another child, and would find it best to miscarry as naturally as possible. I love my unborn child, but I cannot give him/her any kind of life that would be worth it. There just isn't any way right now.

Please help if you can...my need to read this article is huge. Thank you! A.

Lady M's Story: I am unable to afford a clinical abortion, not to mention that my family being very prudent christians would no longer allow me in their home. I am married with a 10 month old son that I adore. We are barely making it financially though. I have had my period for the entire pregnancy yet began growing the pregnancy stomach so I took a test and sure enough I'm pregnant. I must be decently far along to be showing as I am. It is getting hard to hide. My job requires that I be exposed to radiation on a daily basis, I also have taken herbs throughout the pregnancy trying to help what I thought was menstrual problems, all the herbs would be harmful to e fetus. I cannot bring the child into this world under the circumstances that I am living.

Lady N's Story: I have been raped and pregnant before. My mother had me while she was on birth control. I take birth control for a serious ovarian cyst. I'm thinking the stuff doesn't work. I have a tilted uterus that cannot
withstand pregnancy, it will collapse and I will be forced to have a hysterectomy (at least, that's what the doctor said). I'm in school trying to get a PhD, the first person in my family. I have only consentedly had sex with one person, with which we use condoms. He left me when he found out I was pregnant, thinking I cheated on him. I'm terrified of him telling my family, if they find out, I will get kicked out, and have no way to go to school. I have no way to pay for this abortion. I was forced to live on the street when I was a child, and I don't want to
have to do that again.
