Hey . I am a 15 year old girl. I was pregnant with twins. I had them on December 27th. Two days later, My daughter,Ashley died. She was born with complications. My second twin, Hailie did live though. I love her with my heart and my soul. I may only be 15, but I also am a jounior. I am already getting ready to graduate. Then I am moving on. I know I may be more lucky to have the help I want. My high school has an Infant lab. Its all new things, and in the morning when I go to school , I drop my baby off at the lab, then I go to class. Its free daycare in the building. If there is a complication, then I just get called down there. It is so nice to have the infant lab. I dont know what I would do without it. But because of it, I get to keep my schooling, and my baby. it is still very very hard. Please email me at Nikeygirl7588@aol.com, please I need more teen moms to talk to.

First of all I am so sorry to hear about the death of your daughter. I know what is like to lose family members....i'll be praying for you. I got pregnant the end of my junior year and I stayed in school and graduated and I am glad to hear that you are doign the same. So many girls think that they can no longer attend school if they get pregnant. I unfortunately did not have an infant lab at my school but my sister watched my son for me while I went to school and my mom watched him for me while I worked. I know that it is hard to keep your grades up and take care of a child and have the energy to even stay awake in school. I still do it. I just graduated last year from high school and I go to college full time now. I use to get up and leave for school by seven come home around three leave for work an hour later come home around eleven stay up until midnight because my son always woke up for a bottle around that time stayed up until one feeding him and then went to bed until five when he'd want another bottle and then get ready for school at six to leave at seven again..... I know how hard it is. But remember that graduating and going on to college is the best thing that you can do for your daughter. Let her be your motivation...good luck and keep me informed on how everything is going.

Yea, thank you for the message . I know exactly how that is. I woke up at 6:30 I had a half hour to get me ready, then I would get my baby ready. I would be out the door by 7:15.I got to school would drop her off in the Infant Lab, go to my first class, and work hard all day, until I had to go to lunch. My lunch was a half hour long. I did what most moms did not do, I spent my lunch hour in the lab, taking care of my baby, and helping with the others. I kinda missed her being away that time. But then I went back to class, and I managed to keep all A's in my classes. I found out yesterday that I found out I need one more .5 credit , and I can graduate. I think it may be harder when I graduate, because my daughter is only a month old, so I wont be sending her off to school any time soon,soI guess that I will be having a tougher job, but dosent bother me. Thank you for the reply
