"SuSaNs sTORie"

Hay my name is Susan im 17 years old; I have an 8 month old daughter named keliesha. I fell pregnant January 2007, found out in February and my due date was October. My pregnancy wasn’t planned but I couldn’t happier. I had great pregnancy other then a few little minor problems.

Being pregnant was the best feeling I loved feeling her kicks; I still remember the first time she kicked like it was yesterday. I found out I was having a little girl at 18wks and the first thing I did was go out shopping for outfits and little shoes, I didn’t stop shopping for baby things till I couldn’t handle long trips anymore((lol)).

At the end of my pregnancy my due date came and went, it was the most impatient I had ever been. I tried every thing to bring my labour on but it wasn’t till November 4th(which is just before my birthday)she decided it was time too come.

I got too the hospital some time around 8 and had her at 2am the next morning, I had a 19 hour labour. The plan was not to have any drugs but that didn’t happen ((lol)). I had the gas, pethidine and epidural which work well (although I still say no drugs is better). Well I didn’t really have a good birth but I won’t get into detail.

I took her home a week or so later and went out the same day too show her off. I have to admit it wasn’t easy being on my own at first but I got use too it and now I love being a mum. Now 8 months later she is full of smiles and loves mummy and daddy. She started crawling not long ago and it’s not as easy as I thought having to chase her around ((BUT I WOULDN’T HAVE IT ANY OTHER WAY))
