Sooo confused!
Hi girlies,
Im 18 years old, and two weeks ago i took a pregnancy test and it came out positive, i am now 5 weeks pregnant so it is still early days. I have always been against abortion but thought my opinion might change if i was in the situation, but now i am i am still against it. The first thing my boyfriend said was that we'll 'sort it', we have been together for a year and a half and he isnt usually like this so i was surised. He wasnt very supportive and neither were my family as they want me to get rid of it because they think it will ruin my life.
But now they have gone on hol it has given me and my boyfriend a chance to think for ourselves we decided that we dont want to get rid of the baby but dont know how we can cope.
What makes it worse is that my friend has just had a baby and everytime i go round there it makes me want to keep my baby, but my mum adn dad have already told me that if i keep it then i will be kicked out, so i will be homeless and pregnant.
I jus wanted to know what everyone thought, and how all you young mums are coping. Pls Pls help me.

Radio interview
Hi Leanne
Sorry to cold call you like this. My name is Ollie Joy and I'm a student journalist from Bournemouth University. I'm currently making a feature radio documentary raising awareness of teenage pregnancy among young people.
I am writing to ask about the possibility of an interview with you to talk about your experiences and the problems you are having to deal with as a pregnant mother. Would you be interested in this?
I understand you may have some concerns but we could meet in a public place and I would be more than willing to come to you. You can contact me on ollie.joy@gmail.com
Many thanks,
Ollie

Heey
Hi i totally agree with you people think that teenagers shouldnt have children but i think if you are willing to support them and look after them wel then there is no problem. Im about to be a teen mum i have 3weeks to go and am 16. all my mates stopped talkin to me because they think i made a mistake by keeping it but i dont believe in abortions. im just really excited and cant wait. How did your parents take the news? myne were wel happy, wel shocked at first.

Congrats 
I cant bare the stigma either, i work in child care so get it alot where i work, i had a m/c last summer and may be pregnant now and young and single i think there are so many people who judge younger parents when actually many are better than older mothers and fathers at least you care and you love your gorgeous child.
You are all an inspiration to be proud and loving parents

I hope the pregnancy is going great for you, do u no what your having?

Same
Hey, i was 18 wen i got pregnant with my daughter, well it was because of my 18th that i got pregnant. everyone treated me like i was disgusting, and even my family wanted me to have an abortion. but i didnt and my daughter just had her 1st birthday.
while i was pregnant i went to a local group that my midwife recommended me to. it was great, they help tennagers who are pregnant, they teach them how to look after the baby and what to expect and help with findin a home and give lots of financial help.
its really good and i think every town should have a group like that. it really helped us all mature and be ready for living away from our parents and for life with the new baby. and they help you until the baby is 3 months old aswell. so if your feeling down or feel your struggling then your not alone.
i still keep in touch with the woman who runs the group. shes just had a little boy.
and like you im a single mother. i did have my mum but she moved to ireland last summer. its hard sometimes but its worth it. i sneak into my daughters room at night and just watch help sleep. shes so perfect and i wouldnt change things.
if you ever want to chat just message me

Hate being another teen mum statistic
Hey, be proud of yourself, im sure you are a brilliant mum, ignore whatever anyone else says or thinks- its your life.
Im a 'teen mum' also, im 19 and will be almost 20 when my identical twins are born, and i hate being thought of as just another statistic of a teen mum, i have a boyfriend who i have been with over a year, we have lived together in two houses and are engaged, he has a job as a careworker, and i had a job as a supervisor in a shop. i guess im trying to say theres nothing saying you cant be a teen mum and still be a great mum, all the best to you xxxxxxxxxxxxx

Take no notice of snooty people
At the end of the day we are all only human. These things happen. And you can be just as good a mom as anyone else. Teenage pregnancy has been going on forever! People have no right to judge - we can all get pregnant by accident. I did when i was 28 !
I'm glad you have got a brilliant mum. you are really lucky.
I can imagine it can be quite isolating as a teen mum from all your friends and that must be hard at times.
Take no notice and and just do the very best you can. That will show em.

I was a teen mum too
hi, just want to say that i was 15 when i got pregnant, me and her dad split when she was 6 weeks old, we found out when chloe was 5 months old that she has cystic fibrosis! a lot to take in for a teenager!
but im 28 now, my daughter is now nearly 13!
im engaged to my partner and we have 2 more girls aged 9 and 3 and im 32 weeks pregnant with another girl,
we have our own home, car ( a zafira to fit all the kids in!) and are doing great
so been a teenage mum isnt the end of the world, but i will say that it does get hard, and some point in your life you will feel like you have missed out on your teenage years.
good luck!

Teen mummy xx
Hiya
Im 18 and i have got two babies who mean the world to me, well kade isn't really a baby anymore he's just turned 3 and he's a handful now but hes so cute!! And my baby girl, Esmae is 16 months old and is *GORGEOUS*
I love them both to bits and i wouldnt change them for the world. I want another one already but my bf's told me we have to wait till kades at school and esmae's a bit older!!
It was so hard when i first had Kade because i was 15 and i didnt really have a clue but it does get easier! & even if i could turn back time i wouldnt change anything.
I dont think you should listen to what other people say because what the .... do they no?! unless youve been through it yourself i dont think you can judge anyone!
love chantelle x

I was a teen mum too
my situation was a little different to most teenagers i met my boyfriend at sixteen and got married to him at 17 and we found out that we were expecting our first son the day after i got married and everyone presumed it was a shot gun wedding even thoght we were engaged for months , im still with my husband 12 years on and am currently 6 weeks pregnant with my 5th child, unfortunately my only daughter was still born in april this year and people react to me probably the same now as they did when i was 17 saying things like its a bit soon or are ya sure you will cope at the end of the day i have decided i am ready just as i was ready at 17 so to hell with what anyone else thinks girls you are the one providing and looking after your babies not them and if it feels right for you then that is all that matters.. good luck all of you and your babies and if anyone wants to talk or ask advice just message me as i know that your first time is always the scariest
