My Daughter Saved My Life...

Yea Im pretty sure if I had not gotten pregnant when I was 16 I would not be here now. I was partying alot and I was smoking tons of weed and was started doing drugs, I dont remember 2 entire months of my life cuz I partied so much. I am so thankful I got pregnant when I did and that I had my beautiful baby girl. She is now 2 years old and I have another baby, a 1 year old baby girl also, they have changed my life so very much, Im so thankful.

I just wanted to share that with all you mamas.

xoxo, Vanessa

My daughter changed my life a great deal also. I would be probably getting drunk and going further in the wrong direction if it weren't for her. She motivates me to keep going and pushing forward through life and she makes me smile when I see her cute little face next to me everytime I wake up.

I'm glad you had your daughter to steer you away from all of that. It's a blessing... =)

 I say the same about having my youngest...I wasnt involved in any drugs or whatever as i already had 2 daughters...but when i foudn out i was pregnant with her...all i wanted to do was be a better mother this time around. I was too young when i had my twins.  When Sofie was born, she chanegd my relationship with them for the better, healed all the wounds and heartbreak i'd experienced whilst trying to be their mother...and gave me the strength and motivation i needed again to continue. I know it sounds heartless, believe me i love ALL my girls equally. But at the time i was in such a bad place mentally...sofia solved all that.

I can relate. I was stoner and a hard drinker and had quit a few months before I got pregnant with my oldest son. Since then him, his brother, and this little one that will be here soon has been more than enough of a reason why i do not hang out with my old friends or do any of that anymore. They make my life great and I would never ruin that or my time with them.

Same here! I was headed down a slipper slope myself, and wouldn't change things for the world :)

i can completely relate to this. I can't remember a whole two years of my life. i got pregnant at 18 wit a guy i was seeing bc we shared one thing in common, drugs. I was doin nothing good in my life and probably would be in prison or a complete junkie if i hadn't got pregnant. the second i found out i quit everything instantly and haven't gone back, my little girl is now 2 and is my world. She has made me such a better person and i live every day now for her and to make her life be a good one with many smiles and laughs..

It is actually comforting knowing that I'm not the only one in this boat. I honestly feel had I not gotten pregnant at 18 I would be 10 feet under from my own self destruction. I was into partying, I did the drugs & alcohol and the minute I found out I was pregnant I cut all ties and I always felt bad for being who I was...but I see now that had I not been that person I wouldn't be the person I am today which is a wonderful mother to 1 and happily expecting another. He basically gave me a reason for life and they say big things come in small packages and I don't think he'll ever understand what he really did for me while not knowing it.

I'm glad you have that same blessing in your life. Motherhood truly is amazing.
