Teen Mommies?

I'm 16 and 6 weeks pregnant. Any other teen moms? If so, tell me your story? How are you handling it? How far along are you? How'd you tell your parents? Is the baby daddy helping or no? I want to know if someone has a simular story as mine. I need a partner, but I want someone who went through the same thing and completely understands what I'm going through. Please, and thank you?

    I was living in a youth hostel when I found out I was pregnant I have just turned 18, I got quite a lot of abuse from my mother when I told her but now we have nothing to do with eachother, my dad wasnt happy but he is extreamely excited now! My boyfriend is the babys daddy he is supporting us he has got a job working nights and we live in a one bed house, his family have been amazing and so supportive, at the beginning of my pregnancy I was scared and dint know if I could do it but after my first scan it was amazing and I knew from there I wanted to keep her, I've lost a lot of friends as they think I'm wrong for having a baby but hey all I need is my princess. I'm also due in 6 days time very scary but exciting! Also have had few problems with the pregnancy but all is well now :)

    Glad to hear your story, yours sound stronger, but I guess since I'm in the beginging and going through it all now, I'm just weak, and through time I'll get stronger.
  • cherry_bumpcherry_bump
    Ohh the beginning you do feel weak and emotional and like you can't cope, I had a terrible begging of my pregnancy just slept & cried I was horrible to everyone, and was on depression tablets for a bit, but I think the scan seeing my baby made me strong and feeling her kick! It's just hormones trust me you will become a strong young lady might not happen straight away something might trigger it off or when she is born the strength will come in time just don't be harsh on your self!

    I got pregnant on my 18th bday! What a present that was :) I have been nervous the whole time but I have loved my baby since the second I knew about him/her I am 12w 3d pregnant & the baby daddy is excited as can be :) I dont have aCinderella story when it comes to teen pregnancy..but I make it that way! . there has been a lot of ups and Downs but the reason I'm so happy is because I always find the bright side on every situation.. this baby is coming so don't think of the negatives and stay strong for your future lil man/princess because they are counting on you! Good luck :) :X %%-

    Im 17 and 24 weeks pregnant. I've been with my sons dad for 2 years and a month. He's totally excited for the baby. My mom was disappointed when I told her but now she can't wait to meet her "little man" that's what she calls him. Haha my dad, isn't in the picture at all and hasn't been like my whole life. My supporters during my pregnancy are my boyfriend, his whole family, his sister, my sisters, a few friends from work, and my mom. Every ones else kinda shut me out cause im so young you know?
  • Jersey_Mama16Jersey_Mama16
    Yeah, I know. I've lost a majority of my friends. My boyfriend just reacently came into the picture. My parents are supporting, but his family refuses too.

    My story isnt typical teen mom stuff, but here it goes: At 18, I met and married my husband who was 38 (I love older guys ;) ) and two months after we got married, I got pregnant. I think I might have conceived on my 19th birthday. This baby was planned from when my husband and I started dating.
    This is my first baby so I get the first time mama jitters, but this will be my husband's fourth baby and his kids are all lovely, smart, well-adjusted children. The two women he's had children with are really good moms, and he says he can tell I'm going to be a good mom too. I'm glad I have an experienced dad because I don't know what to expect. I'm really happy I'm having this baby tho! I love rubbing my belly (13 weeks and I'm starting to get big) and talking to my baby.
    I lost my two best friends when I got married. Now that I'm pregnant, one of them is trying to get back in contact, but I'm not sure if I'm ready to forgive yet. Some of the crap they said was so hurtful. I never thought that they would talk to me that way.
    My parents gave me some crap when they found out, but they're excited now. I told both of them over the phone so I could hang up if things got ugly. My dad is putting away a bunch of money for the baby for clothes, furniture, etc. My mom isn't doing much to help. She hasn't even answered my calls for a week. Idk what's up with her, but she's got a bunch of issues. So that's my story so far :3

    I'm 18 got pregnant at the end of my first semester in college. I'm now 20 weeks, due July 25. Been with my "baby daddy" for 2 years now. His father is a pastor. Of my church, I think that gas been the hardest but most supportive thing. Being young and pregnant is rarely easy, esp with us just beginning to realuze who we are. But the struggle will def be worth the prize. Just cause your a woman I know that you are. You dont always feel it, but you are. It's put in you to be a mother so don't doubt it. You can make it .
  • tweetlovetweetlove
    I know that you are strong
  • Jersey_Mama16Jersey_Mama16

    I had a baby when I was 17 and placed her for adoption. She will be 4 on march 15. Best decision I could have made for my situation.the bd was a nightmare. Now I'm married and pregnant with our third. :-)
  • jeeds09jeeds09
    I had my first daughter when i was 15. I am 21 now and about to have my 4th baby. Im not going to lie to you. Being a teen mom is hard, lonely, stressful, and frustrating. Most of your friends will stop talking to you and you have a low chance of staying with the babys father. I've been there. But i graduated high school with a 4.0 and honors. Me and her dad are not together but he pays child support. Bes advice i can give you is to stay in school. And own up to your responsibilities. Don't depend on anyone but yourself. And be a mother.

    **Moderator Note**
    I moved this from 'Pregnancy' to 'Teen Moms' so it'll be easier for other teen mothers to comment.


    I myself was a teen mom. I was 15 when I got pregnant, I delivered a healthy baby girl 2mos after I turned 16. I got married 5wks later, which lasted 11mos. We are still best friends, but it wasn't the right choice. I am now remarried, expecting my 5th child (also my last) on August 26th, which happens to be my youngest 2nd birthday. I have 4 daughters, this one is a boy. It will be hard, I wont lie to you, but you can do it. Best wishes! If you ever need to talk, I am here :)

My babyfather made very hard for me my 10th and 11th grade year in high school he cudnt handle it he didn't help me he mentally abused me disrespected me so I lefted him months later I met a wonderful guy(been together for5months befor I found out I was prego) who is very supportive he is a father figure to my daughter which makes me so happy to see them play together I never got to see that with her real father. Then I found out I was pregnant I was worried bout what pple was goin to say I was gonna be 20yrs with 2 children 2years apart my plans for college and moving away changed my boyfriend refused to help me get an abortion it was his first he told me if I. Didn't want the baby he would keep it and take care of it by himself. I decided to keep the baby I can still go to college jus not away. I'm 19 14wks now its hard cus I had trips and everything planned with my friends for my senior but I can't do none of those plans. SUCKs being prego senior year in HS.

    I'm 17 years old and around 7 weeks. Unfortunately, I haven't been to a doctor yet so I don't know for sure. When I first told my mom she was furious and extremely disappointed. My mom and I had never screamed at each other until I told her. Were doing better now and she says she will support me with whatever I choose to do, but she clearly wants me to have an abortion. She is one of the dew people in my family who know. I've only told one friend and she is really supporting me and my boyfriend is too. I'm not sure if I want to keep the baby or not though. It's a hard decision because I have everything going for me and I know keeping it won't be an easy task. My boyfriend says he will support me no matter what too but he has mentioned him raising it on his own. As of right now we are leaning toward abortion, which I feel absolutely terrible about, but in my situation it is what's best. I can't help to feel like a horrible person though and I'm so confused. I guess I don't have much of a story because I haven't decided what to do yet, but this definitely has been life changing.
