As you know, pregnancy is one of the hardest times in a womans whole life. Especially if you are a teen. I had my son Luka @ the age of 16. He is turning 2 in february. Having a child @ a young age can be very stressful, scary, etc. It is definitely a life-changing event. @ the age of 13, I thought my life had changed and had become a new, better person. I still had my boyfriend then. A couple of years went by, and when I found out I was pregnant w/ his child, I told him. He left and got arrested sometime later. Just a month ago, he got out of prison and is now living w/ me and is actually turning out to be the father Luka always wanted.
Buddhism helped me get along each day. Now, I have some questions.
What would you do if you were to have a baby?
What would keep you strong the whole time?
Do you think you would make a change for the better after having your child?
You don't have to be the perfect person, past or present, to gain enlightenment. You give it your all, you will succeed.

What would I do if I were to have a baby? Raise him or her with the best of morality I could grant, a loving hand and a kind thought always.
Wow, I sound really freaking silly. But it's true. That's what radiates in my head - a love that could be the beginning of universal compassion, which begins in my own child. Unconditional love, tempered with teaching, for one person can easily be the start of it all, can't it?
As for the rest, I'd say yeah, that'd be a definite change in me for the better. As it stands, I think it'd at least help calm the acid tongue I have right now. smile

If I were to have a baby, which I am on the 17th or before...I would put all of my priorities in order and focus on the responsibility at hand. I would raise him with all the love and caring I had in me.
Something that has kept me strong during my whole pregnancy has been my mom's words of wisdom. After deciding to have a baby, I had to learn how to grow up, which involved moving in with my fiance to a whole new country. Yet my mom was always behind me giving me encouragement. No doubt she'll be on the phone with me while I'm crying out in pain.
I would and am making changes for the better for my baby. I have given up many things from my 'childhood' I guess such as being irresponsible and too needy. I know that once my son is born, it won't be fair if I am the needy one.
