‘You look in the mirror and think, ‘My gosh. What happened to me?’ Your 3-day-old yoga pants covered in smeared banana.’: Woman urges ‘you don’t see it, but you are the perfect mom’

“You don’t see it in the floor covered with toys or the countertop smattered with dirty dishes.

‘Hands trembling, I wrote an email to my father: ‘I’m pregnant. Don’t worry. I have a plan.’: Teen mom turned 6-figure business owner urges ‘young parenthood doesn’t need to be a curse’

“‘You need to get an abortion. You’re only 19, just think about your body.

We were young, naïve, and so in love.”
