How i found out I was Pregnant


been over a year and this memory is still fresh in my mind ,my sister and i were at home just goofing around and out of the blues I said , I think I'm pregnant we laughed and  then she ask "how do you know ? " i told her because my tummy  looked a bit bloated plus I check my period Calender "which I always kept up to date " and I was 4 days late, she said ok well buy a test to be sure, later that same day I ask her to buy a test when she went on the road and she did and to No surprise I was!, i will never for get the date  October 4th 2016 the exact and only pregnancy test I took will be attached.
At first when I thought I was pregnant I didn't cry nor was I sad but I was low-key praying I was not , I didn't want to be pregnant and I so wasn't ready for a baby I was only 23 living with my mom and whom still took care of me like I was a baby .i was in my prime and just started living like a young and free woman but after the test confirm that I was indeed pregnant  I cried for days, for 2 months after finding out I hide it from everyone, only my sister and best friend knew about it. I thought I had just ruin the future I was building for myself,  how will I continue my education instead of working and saving for my own needs I will have to be funding a child's growth and that made me cry even more. For the first few months I blame the child I was caring, his father and myself I hated the world and just wanted to be by myself, my emotions were all over the place and I couldn't control it.
It was scary worrying about what everyone would think, how would my mother react,my school mates and most of all how will my Ex ( I was dating someone else 5 months before ,he and  I were together  for 3 years prior) we stay connected via social media  (WhatsApp  mainly) and I highly respected him. I may have also had it in mind that we could get back together and this will just ruin that for me.when I was 3 months pregnant I resign to the fact that, this is how things are and I shouldn't hide what will only be more pronounce in a few months, so I rip off the bandaid and told my Ex, he was surprised but very Supportive and encouraging after that I was like a open book to those who were close to me except my mom she didn't find out until I was 5 months.
There is no surprise that people will be disappointed and judge you when you get pregnant in your teens and early 20s, that was my expectation but to my surprise most people were encouraging and supportive of me. Times has change in many ways because some even express that at 23 most people have atleast their 1st kid and going to their 2nd so there should be no shame only pure joy.

Clingy little Boy

"He's a great baby boy, very adorable, smart and very Handsome", I repeat this to myself everyday, it keeps me going through days like this. so for the past 2 weeks Jayzen (my son) has gotten extremely clingy, I mean I can't do anything without him attached to my side like a useless extra hand. He doesn't want to stay on the bed, if I put him to creep on the floor he gets bored after 2 minutes then start crying until I pick him up.he fell off the bed twice  already which was to date the scariest thing I have gone through since his birth so to avoid it happening again I try to keep him with me or on the floor at all times. 6 months and creeping has it's ups but it also has it's drawbacks,  he tries to follow me around all the time and this would not be a problem if only he would do it without the crying. I'm only human and I get annoyed very easily  ( something  I need to work on) so I would just pick him up and try to do what I have to with him. ...

My Prenatal experience

Prenatal Journey After finding out that you have another passenger on your bus the next step is to schedule your first appointment to check how far along you are, if you are like me you would have already known but this first visit it's still a very important one. Choosing a Prenatal facility was easy for me because I already knew where I wanted to give birth from the moment I found out I was Pregnant,  but if you are unfamiliar with your options you have to do some Google research or ask around " best referrals you can get is from people with experience" Even though I knew where I wanted to have my prenatal checkups done I was new to the procedures and process to get started so I had to ask for help, my friend had just gone through her own experience a few years back. We went to the clinic and ask a few questions and I learn a few things from that first experience like you have to be between 8-16 weeks to start the clinic and at that time I was only 5 weeks but I...

Shopping For Boys

If you already have a son then you know the struggles of finding very nice things for an affordable price, here in Jamaica its even more difficult and the reason for that is I really don't know I guess people like selling girl clothing more because the truth is female buy clothing more so that's a big market, most boys, on the other hand, do not care and sometimes if you don't notice will wear 1 jeans 3 or 4 times for the week. back to the struggles, I personally have had a hard time finding clothes for my son and because of that whenever I see something nice, even if I don't intend to buy clothes if I can afford it, I just buy it. I live in a house with only females so you can imagine my struggles for the first few months of my son's life, I only bought onesies and Pin-under because those are easier to find, but then a baby cant live in pin-under what about when he's going out I had to figure out something and I had to do it fast becaus...
