I'm 19, 5 weeks, and single. Lots of judgement from friends and family, just have to ignore it and continue forward. People mess up, and unplanned pregnancies happen, but no baby is a mistake so don't let anyone make you feel that way!

I had a best friend who judge me for being pregnant now at 20 like she said horrible things to me , n ask me to abort ... What i did was got rid of her as a friend ! If anyone has bad thinga to say dey dont need to be apart of urs or ur family life . Bringin a baby into dis world is a beautiful thing. N as a woman we knw wat we can n cant handle , if u bringin another baby into dis world is cuz u knw u can handle it, its yur decision so no one opinion matters . Congrats :)

I'm 22 and 7 months along with my first and I still get stupid comments from people. Try not to let them get to you, its your life and your family and hey your young and healthy you've got everything going for you there all probably just a bit jealous. Nothing wrong with being a younger mum :)

Some people just choose to be negative about everything.  We heard negative opinions when we had our first at 29 because we didn't have a lot of money then. We heard negative comments now because we are old, 33 and just having our second. Unfortunately you can't do anything about it but keep on living and try to not let it affect you.

Only you can chose how you feel about a situation. There are going to be negative comments reguardless of your age or situation in life. You just have to be bigger than that and ignore them, you don't need people like that in your life anyway.
