Stressing

I'm only 17 I turn 18 in November which is a month before my baby is due .. I'm 20 weeks now and I've been stressing a lot ; I fear that my boyfriend/father of my baby is messing with other females even though he denies it .. I'm scared and not sure if I'm ready yet .. At first I was so excited but now I'm more scared and I stress a lot and I go in and out of depression randomly .. I just need some advice or some encouraging words ...

Everything will be fine. Being a ten mom is hard, and you have to make sacrifices. If you have family and friends for support that's all that matters. I was 14 when i had my first, i was so scared and did not want the pregnancy or the baby, but her dad did. He left when she was six months old and has never seen her since. She it's now 12 years old and expecting her second little brother and has been raised by an amazing man and father to her. I would never go back or change time, she saved me and my life more than i can ever explain. She was a miracle to this family & i never have any regrets. She is my best friend and I'm glad i decided to keep her and allow her to show me how to be a mom. You will get thru this no matter what happens and i can guarantee that late in life you will look back and realize you wouldn't have had it any other way...both the good and bad happens for a reason.

I was your age with my first. Just know regardless of what happens with you and him that you dont have to have him to raise that baby. I got married at 18 and tried to have a little family but his true colors came out in the end. My son will be 17 next month and everything has worked out for the best. Expecting baby number 3 with second husband and im more ready now than i ever was. And happy :)
You will go through all sorts of ups and downs but you will get through it. Just remember you will have a tiny person who thinks your the best thing in the world!
