My name is Tiffany. I am eighteen years old and twenty six weeks pregnant. I'm in need of some sort of help, any help - to get through this. I don't have many things for baby or the money to buy things for baby. My family really isn't in a situation where they can help me out, either. The baby's father wants nothing to do with any of this. I'm trying to get my own apartment [8 people living in my Mom's 3 bedroom house isn't working out so well]. I don't have anything that I would need to set up home. I know I should have been more careful not to get pregnant but I don't regret it. I just had to believe that everything would turn out to be fine. As the pregnancy progresses I lose my mind thinking of all the things I need and don't have and all the bills I am going to have to pay. I've tried getting a job but in this small town of mine, jobs are limited. They don't want to hire a girl that's pregnant, either. I still have all these hopes and dreams of what my life could be like, though. Fall of 2008, I'd like to start college. Times will be really tough then paying for college plus the expenses of having a child but I know in the end it will pay off. Going to school has always been important to me - it's just going to be a little delayed.
I guess that's my story.
