Hope you guys enjoyed watching Gwen's story!

Hey Gwen, though you might not read this but... Just want to say, you're a strong and brave person for keeping the baby and at the same time finishing your degree. Even more so, for sharing with the world your experience of what you've went through :) Hope to see you back in more TSL videos and all the best to you and your new family! :)
this whole interview is just straight up real, honest and no BS given. Gwen is very courageous to have shared her experience truthfully. Pointers why I felt that way: 1) she spoke about how she was afraid of her schoolmates judging her if she went to school with a baby bump. instead of the hypocrites saying stuff like "oh i dont care, you know people can judge me for all they want" blah blah blah... 2) she cried when she found out she was pregnant as she was afraid of many things, one of them not being able to graduate from school. tho she did not mention, but i thought it was worthwhile to mention that if you got pregnant at quite a young age (perhaps
Aww that's why she hasn't appeared in videos for so long!! She looks really good now and happy with where she's at, thank you for sharing with us your story Gwen :)
I think this is so great of Gwen to be able to share her story including all the ups and downs she went through during her pregnancy, like honestly not a lot of people would be able to do so. HOWEVER, I would like to just reiterate that her own opinion of not liking the idea of abortion is that it is literally her OWN opinion. Everyone can have their own opinions and so if anyone ever decides to go through with an abortion I hope everyone can respect that decision as we never know what that person is going through at the time. 💖
A new family member has been added and everyone is overloaded with happiness. Little Jayden help to warm your heart and bring a joy and happiness into your life. Count your age by friends, not years. Count your life by smiles, not tears. In life is our true friend and happy moments. Count your blessing not your troubles. With Faith all things are possible.
Brave girl gwen for enduring the tough emotional journey in her life. Hope zula can feature such inspiring ppl like gwen who overcame the odds in life.gd job zula!😀
Keeping the baby is so rewarding. She did the right thing! And they got married too! Best setup to give Jayden what he needs. I hope more young moms will see this and be encouraged that life only gets better! I hope friends will see this and know that their support and companionship can make all the difference. I hooe moms and dads will see this and know thay their unconditional support and love can make the difference between lIfe and death. Congratulations! I am SOOO happy for you!
really great start to a new series on Zula, I wonder what kind of story/topic can beat this first episode Leah.. You guys had the benchmark for the first episode so high!! haha just because this episode is so touching and really inspirational to other couples out there. Also thanks Gwen for being so brave to share your story to everyone and I'm sure its no mean feat. I pray for Jayden and your family to be the best of health and God Bless!
Let me see … getting married, staying single, staying married, religion, work, the car you drive, your job, the clothes you wear and everything else - someone will always have an opinion. We just need to learn to ignore comments that do not empower us. I am sure you’re a great Mommie. Jayden is beautiful and adorable too. Wishing you and your family happiness ❤️⭐️
Gwen u r so strong! All the emotional turmoil and frustrations at the start, no girl should have to go through it silently. I'm glad you eventually opened up to your loved ones and got the support you needed
You did the right thing Gwen! Look at Jayden now, aren't you so very glad that you kept him? Many people say a mummy's love is unconditional. In reality, our child's love for us is the unconditional one. My baby no. 3 was also born in May and I also named him Jaedon. I was tested to be high risk of an abnormal baby but he came out normal, the most beautiful of my 3, the most loving and most vivacious. I am sure your baby Jayden will bring you lots of joy and love and indescribable happiness! Blessings and love to you, hubby and baby Jayden!
Thank you Zula and Gwen for giving us an insight on unplanned pregnancy and abortion, things that people do think it is a taboo to talk about it. Wish everyone all the best!
Meanwhile 1 of my uni's hostel neighbours gave birth a year younger than her (but I'm also thinking how much difference it makes that she had graduated a year before that)
Honestly this ep rlly made me learn more things about abortion than our conservative society could offer. I rlly loved how gwen was comfortable telling such personal details knowing some ppl would flame her initial choice in the comments. Kudos to u and ur baby
Brave and young mom, kudos for keeping the child. Please cherish this Gift from God, the definition of 'Love' will be more apparent with a child in the family :)
Thanks to ZULA and Glen for this story. Very brave of Gwen. I would disagree with the presenter at 21:34 though. There is importance of a girl deciding to become a mother but there is also importance of having the father and the family unit. in Gwen's case its a happy ending as her husband is responsible but the reality of many unprepared pregnancies is the father (and sometimes the mother) walks away.
so um i was just scrolling through youtube and knew absolutely nothing about this channel/video and my initial thought looking at the thumbnail was that this is a lesbian couple with a baby
Hi Gwen, I do not know you (or even heard of you before). But, as a father of 2 young kids, I want to say that parenthood is probably one of the best experience that life has to offer. There are many moments of ups and downs, joys and frustrations, even with your spouse. However, there is nothing in the world I love more than my wife and kids. I also want to applaud you for choosing to do the right thing in the face of uncertainty and fear; I think that is what courage is. Not many people can say that they would have the courage to do what you did. P.s. your baby is very cute.
To Gwen, just want to let u know I know how u feel. I also had an unplanned pregnancy and was crying a lot. Although Im a lot older than you I think the feelings we went thru were similar. And ps. Ur baby has the same bday as me ☺
Glad she gave birth to her baby, kids to her for being so honest in sharing! But on a more serious note, I think there should be education about avoiding unplanned pregnancies to the younger kids out there and not to give away your virginity before marriage or in a non-serious relationship? There seems to be quite a few shotgun marriages and it is worrying to know that young kids nowadays just treat sex, marriage, love and kids as something that is not serious.
I just feel that to me, if you are going to have sex, you should have known that pregnancy is a possible consequence. And if you want to enjoy the pleasure it brings, you have to also bear the responsibility if theres a baby. I hate people that just wants to enjoy but do not want to bear the responsibility of their decision. So i am happy that Gwen decided to be responsible for her actions and be a parent. Kudos to her!
It’s just because at that age most people are not ready for children yet. They are still in university or they are just starting to work. They are still acting young and doing some immature things. It’s different for everyone but most people are not ready for kids in their early 20s and it’s not good to have kids before you are ready because it ends up hurting the parents and the children.
Singapore is a modern country, not like China or North Korea. In Singapore, usually only Ah Lians get married and become mothers in their early 20s. It’s just the way our society is.
She did the right thing. I have come across so many ladies who regretted they did abortion when they were younger. They like to say” a part of me died with the baby.”
There is no definitive right or wrong decision regarding abortion, it all depends on the woman's situation and mentality ... there are women who regrets abortion but there are also women who thinks they made the right decision ...
Gwen, glad you decided to keep the child. For young couples out there reading this, please understand that a baby is a gift. There's a lot of sacrifice moving forward but it's going to be worthwhile. You will need a lot of family support, you will mature a lot. Don't be afraid of this journey. This is life, there's going to be challenges but for everything we do, we do it for love. Do not abort a healthy child. DON`T!!
Everyone has their trials in life. My mom would have slapped her face and tell her to make the decision. Granted my mom is a titan of a woman giving up her own dreams for family and children. I sometimes am reminded of my matriarch's words(maternal greatx2 grandmother) that would benefit not only young women but all men: "Make the decision and live with it till death."
A guy or girl needs to get married 1st then start a family. Ohhh old values..black blah blah blah...Say what u want but have moral values...dint b**** around n be a good role model to ur kids ok??
Wat you can get from this is.. Sex is good.. But when reality comes.. That's when you will know its not always happy ending... Of course when u have sex u feel very happy and pleasurable but when u found out ur pregnant later on that ur world will become dark and gloomy.. (Applies To Unmarried Couple Especially Teenagers Who Are So In Love) 😂😂
If u were in her circumstances, would u rlly want to keep the baby? Being a fresh grad in singapore and alr pregnant just puts u in a place whr u need to spend more time on ur baby rather than working and employers are not rlly fond of that. Different ppl make diff choices, so respect them
@@bunny2521 i definitely won't respect people who murder kids and no I wouldn't have an abortion because it's murder I would have kept the baby or shut my legs in the first place
Faint line is already positive. It just means the hcg is still low.There should only be 1 line at the control for really negative cases.dont be mistaken by faint lines thinking theres something wrong with the kit or if theres a doubt about the pregnancy.The gynae is very objective,which is good to help the patient make decision.

Salute to Gwen for everything. Its not easy. She aced it well.

The husband is very mature and responsible. Subjected to this kind of stress, most guys would just walk out.
Let me see … getting married, staying single, staying married, religion, work, the car you drive, your job, the clothes you wear and everything else - someone will always have an opinion.

gwen is soooooo pretty uwu. & i like how leah is so uncensored HAHAH she went stfu
2010 : never judge a book by its cover
2020: never judge an episode by its promo
Good on you Gwen for being SO brave and so open about it, even embracing it on social media. I think Jayden is an incredibly lucky boy. : )
I am simple. I see a baby, I click
This episode is really good!!! Can’t believe I sat through the whole video
Having baby at 25 is okay. Don't ever feel bad.
Meanwhile 1 of my uni's hostel neighbours gave birth a year younger than her (but I'm also thinking how much difference it makes that she had graduated a year before that)
i am so happy she kept the baby, i cried watching this love u guys 🥺💕
Great story. Congrats Gwen🎉
Thank you for sharing your story Gwen and congratulation for your cute baby boy!
Honestly this ep rlly made me learn more things about abortion than our conservative society could offer. I rlly loved how gwen was comfortable telling such personal details knowing some ppl would flame her initial choice in the comments. Kudos to u and ur baby
i really admire gwen for her courage to be open about this!!
Brave and young mom, kudos for keeping the child. Please cherish this Gift from God, the definition of 'Love' will be more apparent with a child in the family :)
Sooo proud of you!! Motherhood is worth it! Awesome Gwen and wonderful Jayden

This is so cute.. Gwen did the right thing.. Such a cute cute boy.. 😊😊😊
Mad respect, and loved the editing!!

Isla Ingham is different. She's born late
All babies born 2019-2020

To Gwen, just want to let u know I know how u feel. I also had an unplanned pregnancy and was crying a lot. Although Im a lot older than you I think the feelings we went thru were similar. And ps. Ur baby has the same bday as me ☺

我们会一直一直在这里 在妳需要我们的时候, love you always.
Haven't seen Gwen in so long y'all!!!
Her age is ok what, not a immature teenager anymore. I’m 25 and trying to have a baby! Hehe
Love you loads Gwen!❤️❤️❤️ So proud of you :”) Youre a super momma!
So happy for her.
Giving birth and being a mother is a powerful instinct for a woman
gwen so pretty
congrats to you both
Hi I think is very courage to share 👍🏻👍🏻😁
Geh Kiang = Smart Aleck
She did the right move the baby is innocent some couple want to have baby also don't have is a gods gift to you.♥️
Lmfao. It's biology. Nthg to do with ur imaginary sky daddy. Zzz
Don’t understand why being a mom at a young age is considered bad. It’s good and Singapore birthrate is too Low anyways
It’s just because at that age most people are not ready for children yet. They are still in university or they are just starting to work. They are still acting young and doing some immature things. It’s different for everyone but most people are not ready for kids in their early 20s and it’s not good to have kids before you are ready because it ends up hurting the parents and the children.
Singapore is a modern country, not like China or North Korea. In Singapore, usually only Ah Lians get married and become mothers in their early 20s. It’s just the way our society is.
I'm 22may too
Here is tip; faint line is always positive.. it's just mean you're not very far along in the pregnancy..
Honestly.. respects to your husband
damn ... youre so strong :’)
She did the right thing. I have come across so many ladies who regretted they did abortion when they were younger. They like to say” a part of me died with the baby.”
There is no definitive right or wrong decision regarding abortion, it all depends on the woman's situation and mentality ... there are women who regrets abortion but there are also women who thinks they made the right decision ...
is that my mom? because my name is also jayden
love zula
I AM SO PROUD OF YOU GWEN (for not getting an abortion) #prolife
Hi Gwen xoxo
You’re such a brave and beautiful mum! So happy for you and so glad to have a chance to see little Jayden❤️
MY FRIENDS BIRTHDAY IS ALSO 22 MAY :O
❤️❤️
I feels weird because gwen is the same name as me so is quite weird to hear my name in the video especially the different person but the same name
Haha hi my name’s Gwen too!!
Gwen, glad you decided to keep the child.
For young couples out there reading this, please understand that a baby is a gift. There's a lot of sacrifice moving forward but it's going to be worthwhile. You will need a lot of family support, you will mature a lot. Don't be afraid of this journey.
This is life, there's going to be challenges but for everything we do, we do it for love.
Do not abort a healthy child.
DON`T!!
hahaha that's the difference between experience snd no experience. the mum is so clam.
Great story, good handling... But seriously, kids nowadays, please wear a condom lah. Pull out is not a prevention for pregnancy or HIV.
Nice i want baby now
Ok sorry, I thought they were a family in the thumbnail. Hahaha
Water bag burst on ROM day? That's even worse
25 years old to have a baby is normal, don’t be a cry baby ok! Grow up !
22 may is my mom bday lolllll
Everyone has their trials in life. My mom would have slapped her face and tell her to make the decision. Granted my mom is a titan of a woman giving up her own dreams for family and children. I sometimes am reminded of my matriarch's words(maternal greatx2 grandmother) that would benefit not only young women but all men: "Make the decision and live with it till death."
That's a cute fat squishy dough babyyyyy
why every time she talk was like was like was like so many was like??? is this proper english???
nah it's singlish LOL
The voice so screeeeeechy.
Can’t she stop swinging her hair?
THIS ONE NOT GO TOILET U KNOW
LOL

You shouldn't have wanted to murder your baby in the first place

@@bunny2521 i definitely won't respect people who murder kids and no I wouldn't have an abortion because it's murder I would have kept the baby or shut my legs in the first place
Cringe
Can do a calling off abortion at 30?do one every 5 years
The husband is lowkey a hero too
Yea mad respect for him
Normally u will hear stories like the guy run away.. at least in this case he was here throughout the journey.
He has to be a hero, his pull out wasn't gamestrong 😂
@@jonet001 good on him but I guess the fact that being around counts as being a hero reflects badly on our society 😅
@@thespacejedi yes. especially when men give up all rights on the decision to abort or not. and still have to assume responsibility.
Off topic but every damn kid born after 2014 is called Jayden wtf
and kaden/caden/caeden/cayden/caedon/kayden/kaeden wtf lol
one class i can get a couple of cayden (sounding names) and jayden (sound names)
Ayden
Maybe names like these have a certain charm?
My friend named her son jayden too bt her family liked aiden more lol so they named aiden
Laden/Maiden

i was literally just thinking of giving this idea to leah through dm and i saw this today. this is so unreal its as if leah can read my mind...
It takes courage to share this kind of thing. Props to you Gwen!
