15 and pregnant

I was 14 years old when I found out I was pregnant. I didn’t belive it. I just never thought it could happen to me. I was a straight A student and never got into trouble. Untill now of course. My boyfriend went out and bought me three pregnancy tests, they all came back positive. I had never been so scared in my life. Weeks went by and I didn’t tell anyone.
I started to get bigger so then I wore my boyfriends clothes. I quit cheerleading and my grades were slipping. My life was falling apart at the seems. After 10 weeks I finally told my friends the ugly truth that I had been hiding for so long. I knew I had to tell my mom and dad but I was scared. I was scared they would make me give up my baby or even make me get an abortion. I loved this baby more than life its self, even though I had no idea who she was. My boyfriend and I say our parents down together and told them that I was pregnant. My mother brought me to the doctor the next day and we found out I was 15 weeks along. The pregnancy was long and hard. It felt like it was never going to end. The looks I got were awful and made me feel horrible. I often worried if I’d be a good mother or not, if she would love me, how I was going to do this. Sometimes I even thought of giving up not going through with it. Then she kicked. That magic little movment that reminded me I had a job to do. That job was to bring this little girl into the world safely. 21 weeks later I gave birth to a healthy 6lb 4oz 19in long baby girl and named her Payten Rose. She is now 3 months old and is doing wonderful. I have never regretted it once but I do know I would never do it again. Its been hard but her father and I have done our bests and so far shes a happy little girl. Thank you for reading out story.
