I Was a Teen Mom, but I’m Not Anymore

8 years ago Scarlett Newton
One of my favorite reactions people give me is the look on their face when I tell them I have a daughter . . . who is almost 10! I'll be 27 soon, and if you did the math, I was just 16 when I had her. My daughter was born almost a decade ago, and it blows my mind to think that's almost half the time I've been alive. I was pregnant before many social media and digital platforms existed, shows like 16 & Pregnant and Teen Mom weren't a thing, and it certainly wasn't as acceptable to be pregnant in public without people pointing and staring. As my belly grew, I became known as "the pregnant girl" in my hometown. Eventually, my cheerleading skirt no longer fit, and that theme seemed to carry over into other parts of my life — my relationships no longer fit me either . . . or rather, I no longer fit into them. 44490855 I am not a teenage mother. I am a creative writer, an architectural enthusiast, five foot one, and someone's mother, but I am not a teenager..

A Disneyland Scavenger Hunt Led 1 Woman to the Greatest Prize: The Proposal of Her Dreams!

A Disneyland Scavenger Hunt Led 1 Woman to the Greatest Prize: The Proposal of Her Dreams! It's not uncommon to spontaneously burst into tears from pure joy when visiting Disneyland. So imagine the combination of seeing Sleeping Beauty's castle coupled with a marriage proposal by the love of your life. Yep, cue the waterworks. Erika and Jock met when both of them happened to be in Los Angeles for just one night. The two attended a concert separately, but fate brought them together. "At the concert, I found the nearest balcony and perched on it, looking into the crowd of dancing people on the bottom floor," Erika said. "I spotted a guy who was taller than everyone and had the cutest little dance moves. I thought, 'He looks like he's having a blast, but there's no way I'd ever go into that crowd and find him.' The next thing I know, I look back at him and he is craning his neck, staring straight up at me, in between the colored lights, darkness, and c..

You Probably Hate Getting Pap Smears, but Here’s Why You Shouldn’t Miss Them

OK, so going to the doctor may not be the most exciting thing to add to your list of things to do, and you may find it to be somewhat scary at times. Well, we're here to tell you: you're not alone. As much as some of us may dread that walk into the doctor's office, it's important to know all of the doctor's appointments you need to have regularly and to understand that taking preventative measures are vital to our health. One of the appointments we need to have regularly is a pap smear, also known as a pap test. A pap smear tests for cervical cancer in women, as well as any abnormal cells that may be indicative of cancer down the line, by swabbing a sample of cells from your cervix. That sample gets sent to a lab for review and the results should be given to your doctor a few days after your appointment. 44738915 A pap smear is conducted in your doctor's office and usually takes less than 20 minutes. You should remember not to have sex for at least 24 ho..

Prince William Was by Kate Middleton’s Side in the Delivery Room When She Gave Birth

8 years ago Lily Garner
Kate Middleton and Prince William welcomed their third child, a baby boy named Louis, on April 23, and the world has been busy celebrating the arrival of the little prince ever since! While we couldn't help but immediately obsess over all the new photos of the littlest royal bundle of joy, we also found ourselves asking a few questions: Was Prince William in the delivery room when Kate gave birth? And if he was, who else was allowed in? "The Duke of Cambridge was present for the birth," Kensington Palace tweeted along with the original birth announcement. "Her Royal Highness and her child are both doing well." But did Kate also opt for a Kardashian-style birth and have her siblings and extended family present, too? Not likely. While Prince William brought their two other children, Prince George and Princess Charlotte, to meet their little brother after he was born, there were no signs of any other family members at St. Mary's Hospital, so it's likely the delivery room c..
