Hi everyone, I'm 21 and i am about 8 or 9 weeks pregnate with my first baby. i was just wondering if there were any other ladies on the site around my age that i could talk with as i am getting alot of comment from people about being pregnate at my age. I am married and i have been for a year and a half but some people still feel that i should not be having a baby. Can anyone help?

thank you everone for your kind words. our families have been fantastic! they are so excited. it is people at work who are jealous that i am living my life the way i want to.

again thank you to everyone!

im 22 having my first due in 3 weeks! im not married but we have been living together for three years now and seeing each other longer obviously. we discussed marriage and said yeah he could ask me then we could stay engaged for 5 years, it wouldnt change what we do now or who we are lol, its the same to us, so im good with that as long as hes here supporting me and our family, i try to do the same. our families were actually happy, i knew his parents would be hapy and my mother( no father in the picture) but my grandparents are very religious and strict and i didnt think they would think very highly not being married for 5 years and in our 30's and so on,  but they were both veryyy happy when they found out, it was shocking.. bu good in the end lol

I'll be 23 next month. I have a 2 1/2 year old and a 10 month old. I got pregnant when I was 19, had her when I was 20 and I was married. My husband is even younger than me, by an entire year.

Listen, it is NO ONE's business what you and your husband do behind closed doors. Don't sweat it. People are being rude and judgemental and you don't need the added stress. If someone says one more thing about it, just say, "Oh, do you want to come over and sit in our bedroom and orchestrate what we do and don't do?" Might shock them, but it might also shut them up!

It annoys me beyond annoyance when someone thinks they know what is better for you than yourself. You'll be just fine!

Hi

Im Melissa in 20 and im having my first baby in august. I am not married i was with my ex partner for 3 years and after we broke up we continued seeing each other and i fell pregnant.

Not the best of timing and not the best circumstances it has made me realise how bad he has treated me and that i want nothing to do with him anymore. I considered a termination but decided against it and i know i'l be ok and so will my baby.

I have a good career ahead of me which will have to be put on hold for a bit but all that matters now is that i give my little one all i can. Whether you're 15, 30 or 50 you can be a great mother. Age means nothing
