Making me feel bad ;(

I'm 19 and a FTM in a 4 year relationship living with my boyfriend in our own for two years. He is 25 (please don't give me grief over our age difference because I was legal to consent to be with someone over 18) he is a great guy and I live him so much. He works so hard but we just found out that I'm 5 weeks pregnant. The few people I've told have made me feel like a disappointment and like I can't do it. Which makes me sad and ruins out happiness. It's also making me feel bad about telling my family and other friends because of what they may say. ;( should I feel like crap about this??

Found out I was pregnant got the worst negative comments ever and I just ignore them I am now 16 Weeks and this certain person just acts like nothing has happened nor that I am pregnant. Just take the high road you will be happier in the end! :) PS I am now 16 weeks amd super excited!

Im 25 and now 19 weeks preg and have had a lot of greif from my bf's family, mainly his sister. she has 3 and is getting all jelious cause we are now having one. I also copped from his mother and sister that i was faking it, man i must be a great faker with 3 ultrasounds showing heart rates and the actual bub, plus several blood test! All in all my advice is forget them, they will either come around or arent worth it! Congratz to you and your bf!

No one has the right to put you down. I'm 21 and my hubby will be 28 on April 4th we've been together for over 7 1/2 yrs and we have a 6 1/2 yr old son and I'm currently 36+5 with our lil girl. You can do anything you put your mind to. Good luck and don't listen to any if the negative things people say

I'm 18 with a 24 year old boyfriend & we live together also. We are expecting our first child in 2months, people have judged me because i'm young or because my bf is 6 years older than me but i don't care what anybody has to say! Congrats on your pregnancy & enjoy it(: a baby is a blessing, not a curse! If anyone you tell starts acting different ect. Then they weren't a true friend to begin with. I've lost some friends, but at the end of the day i'm gona focus on my baby. You can do it, keep your head up momma(:

You should never feel bad for being in love with someone, it's great you guys are having a child the negative people don't deserve to be a part of your life.. They are the ones missin out. Tey must be jealous cause you have someone good I'm only 21 and my bf is 19 age doesn't matter if you love someone I had my first child at 15 and people said negative things but I'm super happy my bf now of 2 years (whose 19) his sister and her friend said alot of mean things when they found out I was pregnant satin I'm not good for him bla bla bla. But him and I are happy and love each other very much. That's all that matters girl!!!:)

Thank you so much love! For some reason everyone assumes that your husband or boyfriend (because he's older) was a creeper or something! Hopefully the stigma will lessen as we get older

I got pregnant with my 1st at 18 and had her at 19 and I was scared to tell my family as well, they were disappointed but I still had their support. Do not feel bad it happens all the time, you can still have a wonderful life it just takes a bit more effort and dedication. Babies do not ruin dreams they only delay them, good luck and congrats.
