PREGNANT AT 13 - BECOMING A MOM AT 14 (TELLING MY DAUGHTER MY STORY) ♥ Jennica and Annica

like everything was being crushed. I couldn't sleep on my side because I felt like she was going to fall off of me and obviously I can't sleep. I was very uncomfortable. It was hot. Halfway through summer and I was miserable. I did not like. I looked at castor oil at night. Look tomorrow. Zeus looked at the castor oil and it was like he didn't even know what he was doing but he just knew that he was just doing a little bit and I thought maybe if I do a lot, they aren't shoes if you can call them that was.

More just oil and I go to sleep. I had one of those little purple ones. American Girl doll watches that could light up the time on the ceiling - so cool it was like ahead of my time, okay. I remember I woke up with a stomach ache and I looked up and it was like three or so and I thought I'm not going to get up like I'm going to go back to sleep, I fell asleep and this time I passed out again so I thought, I guess those cupcakes are having an effect, so I get serious, go to the bathroom, just pee, come back. downstairs I try to go back to sleep I wake up again and say let me try again go try to use the bathroom nothing comes back downstairs it tries to go back out and then it hurts again and I thought it's like three to five minutes apart it's like a brief pain in my stomach I think it's happening I think it's time and of course we had my hospital bag packed ready to go I go up to tell my mom and I tell her and she says and I say baby, she says, oh my god, so the plan was complete, like we had a birthday, so we grabbed the bag.

The plan was that my sister would come with us every step of the way so that she would never like to look at a child and my grandmother. She was going to come with us so she could get me checked into the hospital. My mom wouldn't have to leave me to check into the hospital. She would wake up my sister. She like she didn't even know what she was. Just her birthday. exhausted she gets up she gets in the car and she's like she's asleep I get in the front seat my mom drives and we go to my grandmother's house we live on First Street and my mom lived on the street my grandmother lived on Seventh Street so we only had We have to go seven blocks to get her, so my mom calls her, mom calls her and she says, hey, it's happening like we need when we were on our way to pick you up, so we're on our way to my grandma's house.

At home and my mom never got to use my caution lights so she turns them on and says it's 3:30am. m. It's hot on the road because we live in a town where everything closes at like 7:00 p.m. m. so there's not a car on the road but she's still very excited about the caution lights we get to we get to my grandma's diaper heads mom is singing a little song in my grandma's driveways a little long, It's a little curvy, but she lives on a cul-de-sac, so my mom just pulls into the cul-de-sac, being the little girl I was, like, oh, my grandma needs to sit in the front, so I get out and I sit in the back seat and I remember when I was outside listening to my grandmother close the door, so I knew she was coming, so I sat there, I looked at my sleeping sisters, my mom was singing about the caution lights and I thought You have a job where I'm like I'm dark, but is that it? go with her and she didn't, um, she was just carrying a bunch of stuff and she didn't have a blouse or a bra.

She sits in the front seat and says, how do you feel? Yeah, okay, my mom is like mom, look, I'm going to use that. Caution, Lutz, she's like a hug, how are you feeling again? I look, oh, right, right, and she said, oh, that's a funny

story

, she's out of breath, he says, I'm a girl and I knew where everything was, but you did? Find it, she says, oh yeah, I have it, my person, my grandmother, you said this bag was literally like Hermione Granger's bag where you put your hand in and it just disappeared and you could pull it out like a crock pot.

I don't. I even know, she's like putting on suntan lotion, my mom, we get to the hospital and I'm like, okay, two of my best friends like mom's job here, please don't let either of us have to put on His fingers in my mm-hmm us. It'll be okay, of course we get there and it's one of my best friend's moms and I'm like, okay, we're okay, we're okay, we go in, they check me, I was only dilated like one and I was only 80.% so they told me: "you're good, you're not going to have her in the next five minutes" and I said, "cool", in that case, I'm going to wait to call people, it's 4:00 a.m. m., no one needs to rush.

Here now I'm just going to wait, I'll finally go back to sleep and like at 6:30 I was like, okay, I'm tired of waiting, like I want to start calling people at 6:30. My first phone call was to Anika's father. He could call. my family in Nashville started going down, it wasn't super super crazy and I'm not like marking to spend anything, so they all come on visits visited before church. They would give me an epidural if I needed it if I could do it. Everything was great, if I didn't calm down there would come another point where I would need that epidural, so I thought, "Okay, let's do this so I can get the epidural" and still the plan is that my sister will be with me. everything and the plan for when I had Annika, her dad was going to be like my head, my mom was going to be on my leg, her mom was going to be on the other leg and then my sister was going to be recording in video. moment in which I feel a lot of pain and I'm starting to get very close and that was the first time I never could those three months that I was when I found out I was

pregnant

.

I could never say I'm

pregnant

like I'm just saying I'm having a baby or I'm having a baby. I think I was so focused on being pregnant in such a short time that I never realized I wasn't going to be. pregnant forever like there was a baby that was involved in this just like my mind was so immature I remember looking at my mom and it being like 6:00 p.m. and it's, it's okay, it's ready, we're ready to start pushing, ready, I said we're ready, no, you said he said hero, ready, it's ready, we're ready, we're ready to start pushing, I lift my legs on the stuff.

I started to push a little and it was like exile. I mean, I was literally exhausted after five seconds. My sister is supposed to win if as soon as my legs go up, she starts, so my nurses said, "she's okay, she's okay, let's help her." here to this little section, this is where the babies brought right when it comes out, so you need a light weight and clean, just stay here with your camera and as soon as this baby comes out, you can take pictures here so it's cool and good. She looks up and there's a perfect reflection like there's a sink on top of the little mirror above and it was just a gunshot and she starts screaming bloody murder again, crying like she can't take it, so they escort her out and one of them goes.

You can only push while you're having a contraction, so I'm having a contraction. She pushed her, she looks, the top of her little head would show the Stav contract. I'd have to stop pushing and she just likes the alert reinforcements on Mare and me. I did that for about 25 minutes and finally thought, "I have to have this announcement right now." Plus, it was Father's Day, so the doctor she had been seeing was on an island with her family celebrating Father's Day. I wasn't even like the doctor I was used to keep pushing it's just not happening in the family I'm like I'm doing this my way I'm not going to stop pushing at that moment when I realize I'm about to just rip this out. and I go.

I look and my mom is the color of this wall as if she were white. She didn't realize that she had been holding her breath and liked to push me, so she thinks my mom works at the hospital. I saw my nurses like they went to help her and they put her in the recliner and because another grandmother came and it's like helping my mother so the grandmothers left so that's 3 4 5 who knows then she comes out and we hear her crying and I guess Dad had one of the little vomit trays from the hospital, just in case he did very well until it came time to cut the cord and it got the better of him, so it took some babysitting to take care of his business and when mangaka they gave it to me, it was just me, it's free.

I started with a room of people and then it was just me. This and oh my gosh, I thought she would have very, very straight black hair and big black eyes. Hey, oh, like her. She came out and she had as if her eyes were already aqua blue and they just got the size of a room as if her eyes took up like her entire face, I felt like and she was so pretty and her hair was curly, yeah, um. Her hair was like wavy curls tangled up to her head and I was in absolute shock and awe, no matter how many people were in that room or even around me, like it was a moment where there was just a bubble of her and me around. and I was like Anika and I should be like Anika.

I kept saying her name and I was like I was already taking eyes and a nose out of her and I was fixing her and you know, fixing her, you know, just being like Wow, I was a worker for exactly 12 hours 14 hours. I say all this to say: don't touch children, don't look at children, don't be around children and that's it, anyway, I got pregnant, I had this, oh my god. Here we are 14 years later. Could you imagine it's obvious? You said: No? I think it. You can put some inspiring words. It just depends on the person.

Really, because one of the most annoying things for me is that I'm. We sure like him, are you saying annoying things about me? Yeah, I don't know where to go in this country, like Down Falls and have a young man in the mm-hmm, yeah, like you literally use 10 magic sayings like that's it. I hope it's relevant, so let's not get dizzy here, you're dizzy, you need to relax, you're okay, do you have anything like that? You can't just give me a compliment sandwich or something nice. I said it's a compliment sandwich, if you like it, you have something bad to say, this is too good to sandwich, so you owe me two good things now, if you ever use your caution lights, just turn on those bad boys and say, leave it alone. flat and I just hope everyone says socially distant from others washing your hands taking this seriously the sooner we take this seriously the sooner okay yeah well don't be around the people who are going to do that okay have a great week.

I love you, oh my god, look at my legs, man, that's great, okay, we have to go, it's nice, let me do it, hello, yeah.
