     By doing these interviews I have found how these four students felt, how they connected, what their plans were, and how others responded to them. Often people do not care to understand, but these pregnancies meant the world to each and every one of us.

     Out of this group I found that all of them weren't aware of the pain a miscarriage can cause and how much they connected with their baby until it was gone.These students had all accepted that they were pregnant, and we're willing to do what needed done so their child could have the best life possible.

     A few handled their miscarriage by shutting down, not wanting to bring the memories up, but the others found that talking, and crying about the lost part of them helped them greatly. It brought them some sort of comfort. It gave them the oppertunity to tell others, to share with them a big part of their lives.

     Adults around them were often disappointed that these students had got themselves in this situation. What they didn't realize is that, at the time the pregnancy wasn't an issue but the fact that they had lost a part of them. 

     Friends and boyfriends are often times to caught up in their own things that they don't realize how much you need them...

     Most of the young women had many plans for their pregnancy. They were ready to take on the responsibility of being a young parent. They were all very scared but excited.

     Having gone through this experience themselves they now know that the miscarriage is not the mothers fault that there's nothing that could have stopped it. Connecting with these babies made it very hard for them.

     They all have a totally new outlook on things. They were ready to accept their responsibilities and seeing friends with babies also made it difficult. They couldn't control the fact that they lost their babies before being able to share the joys of life with him or her. Many of these teens do not believe that it was just an unexpected pregnancy. They still believe that they are mothers.... this child that had grown inside of them for so many weeks, and out of their control it was ended. That doesnt end the fact that their feelings of motherhood that their wanting of motherhood has changed. That things happen for a reason good and bad. Many of them stated that they would have tried their hardest done the best the could, and given the best life possible for their babies. Some advice from them is to just to stay strong, talk to people you trust, surround yourself with friends, don't keep it bottled up inside it will just make it harder to let go..

For every dream that shatters, another one comes true!
