Becoming single and pregnant at a young age was never my plan. But in hindsight, it’s the best thing that ever happened to me. It changed me into the person I am today, and I’m proud of that. I truly believe that my pregnancy was meant to be.

2. “Unplanned does not mean unwanted or unloved. It just means life knew what I needed before I did.”

A big mistake that many people make is confusing unexpected and unwanted. Simply because I didn’t expect to become pregnant didn’t mean I didn’t love my baby with all my heart. She was just the blessing I needed, even though I didn’t know it at the time.

Making lifestyle changes, sacrificing your body, your emotions, and your time are all big sacrifices. But in the end, when you are holding your beautiful little baby in your arms, it will be worth it.

6. “I’m not telling you it’s going to be easy; I’m telling you it’s going to be worth it.”

Pregnancies are never easy, whether they were planned or not. But creating a life within you is an incredible experience that is worth all the pain in the end.
