Sophie lay on the thin hospital bed. Her hair was matted against her head, she was hot and uncomfortable, yet relived that it was over. She look down at her hands, they still clutched the sides of the bed. She could almost here the not-so-long-ago sounds, echo in her head. They midwife, shouting praise, 'your doing great, keep pushing Sophie!'. her mother, clutching her hand, giving her a running commentary, 'Oh Sophie, a few more pushes, the Doctor says he can see the head, I think I can too!'. She could remember her screams and curses as she had to push harder and harder to free this new born. Then finally, she heard the struggling screams from her baby. 1
Sophie slowly, almost reluctantly un-gripped the bars. She knew where her family was, downstairs in the canteen, chatting and chin waging about her baby. Sophie took a long sigh and turn her head to the small trolley next to her. She looked down at a small, Innocent child, pink cheeks, barely any hair, her baby. Suddenly, Sophie heard a small mumble of chatters going on. She recognised a nurse's voice and a strangers. At first, Sophie thought nothing of it and turned back to looking at her new baby girl, until she heard the nurse mention her name,2
"I'm sick of this. In there, another teenager, fifteen would you believe. I swear teenage pregnancy rates are going through the roof. I want the chance to help a nice woman, thirty years old maybe? Not some clueless teen who'll scream then throw the baby into adoption."3
Sophie was gob smacked, she wanted to be sick. How could the nurse say those things, yet Sophie knew it was true. She looked down at her baby, and tears began to fall from her eyes. 4
"I'm sorry baby, my baby, Hope" Sophie whispered, placing a gentle hand on the babies cheek. Sophie look at her baby and knew what she had done.5

This was so sad and to true. I had my son at 18. her is three and a half now, but unlike some i decided to raise my kid and we are doing quite well, unfortunately I saw the opposite alot... I had one of my friends straight up tell me she hated her daughter because she was born.... that was one of the sickest things I heard from a mothers mouth .
This was a beautiful but sad write, I enjoyed the read

I get totally paranoid about being pregnant...(i mean i haven't done anything to make me pregnant but thats why) i'll always be afraid of fucking up my life, the fathers life and the babies, cause i don't think i could destroy something so special and unique...! This is a very true stroy

Awwwwwww! This is so sad. Teen pregnancy is rising. I think that they should be more responsible for their actions. I have a cousin that got pregnant at the age of nine. This is an issue that we have to bring to light. I feel for our youth because they don't give themselves time to mature anymore. Babies are out here having babies.
