CV NEWS FEED // A teenager just celebrated her first Mother’s Day during her third trimester of pregnancy, and thanked a local pregnancy resource center for encouraging her and her boyfriend to keep the baby.

Emily was 17, a senior in high school, when she and her boyfriend Brian found out they were expecting a baby. They found Heartbeat of Miami online and decided to go in for an appointment.

“When me and my boyfriend first came in, we were very scared, very nervous, didn’t know what to expect, and all I could think about was how I was going to tell my mom,” she said.

Emily took another pregnancy test at the appointment which confirmed she was pregnant, and she was distressed.

“Then after they brought me and my boyfriend to a room and I saw my baby on that ultrasound, and it was very emotional. Because, you know, it’s my baby. Me and my boyfriend made that baby,” she said, and she felt elated.

She was nervous to tell her parents, but she said the staff at Heartbeat encouraged her and helped boost her confidence.

Emily’s mother drove to the clinic herself after she found out about the pregnancy, and Emily said that the staff comforted her, her mother, and her boyfriend, who also arrived for the appointment.

“They gave us a bunch of advice and support and made me feel great about having this baby,” she said.

After that appointment, Emily said her mother became much more excited about the new baby.

Emily recorded the video last week, when she was 39 weeks pregnant. She is planning on naming her son Jaden.

“And I’m very thankful and grateful for Heartbeat of Miami and the staff here because they made this happen,” Emily said. “I would never have thought I would be here today if it weren’t for them, and I thank them so much for everything.”

Sweet story!

The local pregnancy resource center is the largest line item in our church’s budget, after General Fund (overhead and maintenance).

I'm jealous.
We have an excellent local pregnancy center.
I am praying that our church administration would value them more.
Meanwhile, I continue to support them on my own.
