negative comments/reactions.

At 21 weeks its becoming obvious that I'm pregnant but I still haven't told many people.. mainly because I'm terrified of the negative reactions. I'm 17, and so far most of my family have said I'm just like my mum who had me at 15. I never planned to be a teen mum - but I love my unborn son and I do believe he is the best thing in mine and my partners lives.
How have you told other people? My fiance wants to put it on facebook he's thrilled to be a dad..

Im 17 too! And my parents were unaccepting at first and I know its hard to not have support but you have a beautiful boy on the way! Focus on that and stay happy! I havent told many people either. But once your showing its out! Amd if people question you then act excited and like its no big deal

My parents and grandparents are supportive and excited - they know I can handle it. Its my aunts and cousins putting me down about it some have said very nasty stuff.

I agree screw what other people say I got pregnant at 15 and had my girl I 16 when I told my parents I ran away and left a voicemail cuz I knew my mom wouldn't approve she sent me away to another state away from everyone I knew to live with strangers (family members I never meet) and wasn't allowed to communicate with my siblings I don't think it can get worse than that just tell them and hope for the best

I am glad you have the fathers support, I hope your close family is being supportive as well and I'd tell anyone else that thinks they can have a opinion to butt out.

Screw what other people think. It's your life your choice not theirs. They don't like it then Owell. You want this baby then you have the baby. What others think shouldn't matter. Love yourself before anyone else loves you and you'll be happy. Never let some negative person affect how you view life. It's your life live it the way you want to
