nothing is wrong with being a teen mom

Im 16 and pregnant i know i should have waited a bit longer but it happenes. I went into shell the other day and the lady was giving me the third degree she asked if i was married how old i was and she was giving me the worst faces when i have her the answers no im not married but i am still with the father. Just because i got pregnant doesnt mean i have to marry him. People at my church too they give me some faces i stop going all together because they act as if there holy when there not. My baby is being taken care of im graduating in may and being a CNA in july done being mad just had to let it out

Young or old even inbetween, you get looks. I was 19 when I had my first and 21 having our 2nd, when I told my grandfather we was expecting again, he looked at melike you idiot!! And didnt say a word and shook his head looked down and walked away, I nearly cried!  I dont mind the dirty looks ive goten but some comments, I can never forgive.

I'm a teen mommy & wife!! Met my husband at 14, got pregnant at 16!:) our son will be 2 when our next son is born in august! Same due date as with our first! We got married last December and I'll be 19 with 2 kids and a husband! Just moved into our first house about 2 weeks ago!

Nothing wrong with being a teen mom! You just have to prove to yourself and everyone else that you will be one of the good teen moms instead of the partying kind that leaves their kid with anyone who will keep it!

I've never left my son with anyone for more than an hour and he is 20 months old!

By the way I'm 18 and my husband is 21! We are very mature and great parents! It's just gotta be your #1 priority for parenting to be done right!

I'm not a teen mum I am 24 but I still get the looks and whispers when I am out with my 3yr old and they notice my bump. The other day I took my 1yr old nice to pick my daughter up from nursery we went to the shop and 2 old ladies were staring and whispering my daughter noticed it as well I just turned and told them to stop being so judgemental and assuming things as you don't know my life or my story so keep your comments to yourself but they still did it so to wind them up I was like there is another child at home with his grandad who is also mine. (He is my nephew)

Im 24 and have ben mairred almost 4 years. And people still think in 16. I get the looks and comments. And I just simply tell them im 24 and mairred. You should see the look on there face when they realize.  There judgment was wrongly. Im 38 weeks pregnant.  People think my younger sisteris older than me. I was in the docters office and yhe docter asked if my husband was my father. I laughed and said im 9 months older. The Docters face went pail. Lol. And he aapologized.  I laugh at it later. But when it happens.  Its not so funny

You know what, in this world you can't be worrying about the people around you. You do you, and be the best mom you can be. Yeah you're young ...so what, having a baby is hard at any age. So don't worry, and for all the people at your church to stare and judge you, so what. Only God will be your judge, so their opinions don't matter. You seem very responsible, already almost done with school and everything. So you go girl!! If they're not proud of you, well i sure am!
