I'm 18. he's 27

I'm 18 and I have a 3 year old. Her father lives in another state but she still has contact with him. I just found out I'm pregnant about 2 weeks ago with my boyfriend of 4 months. We have a great relationship and hes always wanted a babyof his own. We are both very old school. We respect each other like we respect our parents. He's 27 but take note that I'm pretty mature and don't act like an 18 year old simply because I had to grow up fast to raise a kid. But I want criticism, I want to know how other people think of this situation. I see no doubts in our relationship but everyone around us is bitching because he's older than me and now I'm pregnant with just being together after 4 months. Please give me your feedback! Thank you! P.s. we do love each other and make it very known

Oh girl.

I got pregnant with my first baby when I was 18. We broke up before my son was born. Hes almost three now.

I was 19 when I met my husband, he was 31. We were together only three or four months when we got pregnant.
We had our daughter last year in March and now I am pregnant with our second child. We have been happy and together for almost three years now and I don't see it ending.

Age is nothing to factor against a relationship. I honestly feel like being with an older man helped me become a better mother to all my babies and a better wife.

My dad is almost 12 years older than my Mom. She was 23 and he was 34 when they met. If it works for you two then try your best to disregard others distain for your situation. If you are both happy and have a healthy relationship then that is great. I am sure you will be a great Mom with baby #2 and your child is provided going to be so excited for a little sibling. The only thing that I have to say about some people, both men and women, who have children when they are so young is that since they missed out on their own young adult years they later go through a party phase where they act a fool. Try to avoid that. I wish you both the best of luck with your little Angel.

I was 18 and my boyfriend was 26 and we had known each other just over four months when I got pregnant. We now have a 2.5 year old and another on the way. My family who doubted the whole scenario initially have grown to love him like a son and he gets along very well with all of my friends. It can and will work out if you want it to. Just as mine were, your friends and family are probably scared as they barely know him and feel that you barely do as well. You may have to bite your tongue or defend your little family for a while, but it will pan out!

I was with my boyfriend for 3 months before I got pregnant, even moved to a whole other state after meeting online and talking for only 2 months! Call me crazy I know lol! But we still live together completely happy and so excited for our son! He's 29 and I'll be 22 at the end of July! If you two are happy who care what everyone thinks!!

Why do u care about other people's opinion? I mean if u tell anyone about a 4 month relationship it's obvious that's not a long relationship,  I don't see a big deal with the age situation but anyway at the end of the day it's your decision. Not anyone else's

I was with my boyfriend for three months when we got pregnant the first time, which ended in miscarriage. But we stayed together. All couples have sex. Some just dont get pregnant as fast and early in the relationship. But youre 18, legally an adult. If youre happy, then good for you girl. Dont let other peoples criticism ruin your relationship. Stay strong for your second bundle of joy (:
