way2gosam tells us more.
Okay, I'm finally writing back to all 401 of your comments. Yes, I am a pregnant teenager- although, I can not see how that has any revelance to my post, pregnancy in teenagers happens quite often and I do not appreciate the judgemental/negative comments being thrown at me. It's pure slander. Yes, the father and I did have a fallout and I will be raising the baby on my own, with the help and support of my family and friends- not to mention he lives in the northern part of the state that I live in, which happens to be 4-5 hours away, even if he wanted to be here for the arrival of our child(which we are expecting to be a girl), he could not make it here on time. Therefore, my mother is my "go'to man", for lack of better words. I also notice you all are saying that he wouldn't want to hold my hand or watch the baby being born, I never said he would be in the delievery room- I simply asked him to keep my company during the scary hours of contractions that were yet to come, until my mother could arrive and take over. Yes, we had previously discussed it, and he had said that if need-be, he would be there. Unfortunately for me, he was speaking pure lies. As for the premature labor I did go into, they did stop it, and I am now on bed rest while taking a medicine called "terbutaline" every 4 hours in order to hold her until full term. (Which is also why I could write my FML, I didn't come home taking care of a baby, I came home on bed rest so I could have my baby at the correct time. I had nothing else to do but write my FML.) I do understand how confusing and misleading my post was, but keep in mind you only get a certain amount of letters to work with when writing your original FML, and by reading this I'm sure you've noticed that I could not elaborate thouroughly with 300 letters as a maximum. I do appreciate your opinions, even though I do not agree with all the statements that were made. Just wanted to explain since there were so many confused people.

Well what i see in my opinion is that you didn't call the baby's dad for I bet a good reason and turned to your bestfriend/crush? Come on. I would have gone but if you think he'll be the dad in somewhat way I hope he can take that responsibility. Srry If it was harsh but lifes a *****:)
Maybe he doesn't feel the same way you do. Either that or he doesn't want to be trapped in taking care of your ilLegitimate child
Well since you appear to be a teen mom, I wouldn't be surprised if our friend/crush would be a little weirded out to stand at your side during labor.
This is what happens when you put him in the friendzone...
I really hate how women think it's always a man's responsibility to pay up. At the end of the day it's a woman's choice to keep the baby or not. If the father doesn't want the kid he shouldn't have to pay just because she decided to keep it. That's not her only choice there is adoption and abortion. I am a woman and I think women are vial when it comes to suing men.
Back in the day, women were having babies as soon as they hit puberty. It's different now, because the typical path people follow is high school to college or trade school, then a job. However, some will choose to become parents right away. Unfortunately, it's hard to get a teenage boy to stick around, as OP has experienced, but it can be hard to get adult males to stick around, too =/. She says she has the support of her family and friends, so I hope she and the kid are doing well :).
We'll she did get nocked up by some one else and if it's obius to tell that she likes him then I wouldn't either
That's tough being a teen mother. You will find that a lot of young men won't stick around for a package deal. I hope you find the love you need with your child instead of continuing to hope for a man to rescue you from loneliness.

he probably knows you are into him so is avoiding being to close to you incase he gets the position of father figure to your child and is therefore stuck with you and the kid forever, he saved himself from having a fml
Is he the father? If he is, he should be more than a "crush". Sounds like a bad choice to me either way.
