any girls on here going to be a teen mom?

I was just wondering if there's any moms or Moms to be having a baby as a teen or young mom. I am 20 and I had my little boy at 18 and my boyfriends family is very religious and they were kinda surprised and I'm going to have another one at 20 and feel weird telling them.. I have never been in this kind of situation and I'm really nervous. I live with them but I feel really embarrassed to tell them and even show them my ultrasound pictures. My mom was really cool with it but only cause she has been in my situation. I love his family in a way but they are to judging!!

I was 17 when I got pregnant with my daughter. 18 when I had her. It was really hard because her father and I split when she was born and I was just starting out. I give the girl who's 20 and on number 3 mad props for being able to handle 3 kids at such a young age. I'm now married and have graduated college and am still nervous about my second, which will be here when I'm 23.

I found of I was pregnant at 20, and my little bub is due may 27, I'll be 21 then. But I'm almost married & independent. My hubby & I have been together for five years, and we got married last May, and I got pregnant in August. People judge me, but I'm happy & wouldn't change anything.

I'm 19, got married in October, fell pregnant in January with my first :) Luckily my parents are very supportive (mostly because we got married before we decided to live together or have children as both our families are religious). My baby is due October 18 :) Yeah, you'll get the negatives, but it's not like they can change anything, you're already pregnant! Try to not let it bother you, you'll always get haters in life, just brush them off and let it make you stronger!

I got pregnant when last year with my first when I was 19 and now I'm 20. At first it was super akward in telling my boyfriends mom, but she was there 100%. Try telling the mom first.

I am 19, got pregnant at 18 and I'm 38 weeks. I was married before I got pregnant (by about two weeks!) but I have my own house and everything. No one could really judge me for getting pregnant but everyone thinks I'm too young. I just keep telling them it's too late now and to get over it! (:

I had my 1st at 17, 2nd at 19, miscarried at 21 and my bub will be born in 4 weeks when im 22. When i first fell pregnant my family were ok with it. my mum said she wished i had of waited but would always be there for me. i was living out of home at the time and when i found out i was pregnant moved back in for the first 6months of my daughters life for help. i have lived with my fiance ever since and been totally independent. i lost almost all my friends when they found out i was pregnant cause were i live u barely see teen pregnancy and it was frowned upon. it was hard and i had to leave school but i went to TAFE and am at UNI doing my nursing degree. looking back i have so much more then any of my friends have and they finished school. im happy and although its tough at times i wouldn't change a thing

yes i do, then after i feel guilty because its not like me because im more patients with my kids. but my son has speech delay and hes been in speech tharapy for 3 months now and he will be starting preschool on the 9th of this month so im hoping all this will change for him=)). my daughter shes 19 months old and shes talking more than him. but now because shes getting older she was always listening to me more and now for the past few weeks she wants to be like her brother and it seems like shes starting to look up to him=) i meant thats a great thing but the listening part, i just hope its  a phase  shes going through=). but i dont ever regret having my kids at a young age.

But the thing is I waited a long time I'm 6gonna months pregnant and she always calls me fat when I wasn't pregnant like just rude comments and I don't want her to make me feel worst then I already do. I'm only 135 with a baby inside of me. I just care way to much of what people think of me I guess!!

I found out when I was 18, but I am 19 now and this will be my first baby. My mom wasn't upset, and my fiance's parents were really happy (although his dad did do a small lecture about how babies are a big responsibility). My parents would have preferred it if Brent and I were married first then got pregnant, but oh well lol. We will get to the married part later in life. I have a friend who's boyfriend's parents aren't supportive with certain things, and I always tell her that it isn't their life, it's your life and your boyfriend's life. She has a kid already and so does he and she might be pregnant with her second kid. She's only 20 too. the worse they can do is express how they feel. I'd just slowly ease into the conversation and then bring it up and see how it goes from there :)
