I'm sorry to disagree but age can matter. You have to be 16 in most states to have a job. If you do have a job while you're going to school that can be so very hard. Once the baby gets here and you're working, going to school and taking care of a baby it's even harder.
No one should expect their parents to care of them on top of a child. It is not their responsibility, it's yours. Yes, they can be legally obligated to take care of you but I don't think it's right for anyone to get pregnant and expect their parents to take care of them and a child too. It's up to you and the father of the child to give the baby everything it needs, and they do need a lot.
I'm not judging or putting any of you done. I'm being realistic. Raising a baby is the hardest job you will ever have.
I hope all of you are doing well with your pregnancies and continuing your education if possible. I also recommend parenting classes to first time moms because it can teach you so much.

Congrats babys are blessing. You wouldnt be given this blessing if god didnt think you can handle it. And no one no matter what age is truly ready for a baby. Enjoy this blessing. It is amazing how positive and optimistic you are about. Which shows you are very mature. Just watch out after this one tho. You n you boyfriend as a pair are fertile and starting early, so watch out unless u want a football team by the age of twenty ;) congrats babygirl

Congratulations on your little blessing!  Don't let anybody tell you your too young because it doesn't matter what age someone is. Just because they are older doesn't mean they would make good parents. I know mothers who are 30 to 40 and can't raise their kids right. I'm 23 expecting my first child but I constantly get judged because I look 17.but I am extremely happy for my little blessing! Good luck on your pregnancy wish you the best.

Exactly, I couldn't agree with you more however I'm not rich. I'm literally broke and partially homeless cause my parents decided they don't want me living with them cause we'll take up too much space. I am currently 20 and due April 11, 2015 and I am freaking out about this whole thing and I just don't want her to put her hopes in her parents hands like I did and they just let her down cause I learned and now I'm struggling and doing what I have to to make sure my son has all he needs. Mind you I got pregnant 6 mouths ago whole I was still 19 and it was all unexpected and I had a job at the time but then I lost everything. I have faith for all young teens and I judge nobody cause everybody is their own person and does their own thing so nobody can judge someone else. Especially if they're in the same boat. :)

Babies are a blessing. God gave y'all this little blessing for a reason. Wish you and your bf the best (:
You might be 15 but that doesn't mean anything. There's mothers out there that are older and just leaving their baby abandoned. As long as your happy that's all that matters.

Well put Be11al994 I'm 18 and blue in 12 days and so scared and nervous. Even if you were the richest person in the world. No one can ever be completely ready for a baby. It's a scary thing. And even if you struggle you have to be the best mom you can be because that baby didn't ask to be here.
