I had unprotected sex with my ex three times, besides when I was pregnant, and you've got it -- I have three biological children. The first, I was 23, single and in my last year of college. It was way difficult, even at that age! But I learned a few lessons -- like never judge others. Just 6 months prior to getting pregnant I had said, "I would never have a baby out of wedlock. Anyone who does that is stupid." Well, I must be really stupid then! I'm also very blessed as I love my son dearly and wouldn't trade him for anything.
Parenting at a young age and/or alone is very challenging and I don't recommend it. That is why I plan to talk openly with my girls about sex, love, and birth control. I don't want them to go through what I went to.
