teen moms

Are there any other teen moms here?? Cause I feel alone lol. I'm 18 & pregnant with my 1st child (it's a girl!!) & some people in my family think it is completely impossible for me to do this & be successful. Like I graduated high school early at 17 & started college at 17 & by the end of this year I'll be a Dental Assistant. Plus I'm not going thru my pregnancy alone my baby's father (my boyfriend) has been there with me thru it all & I'm sure he's not going anywhere. And we both have jobs now,  so I'm just trying to figure out how am I not successful...

I just want to say how proud I am of you for keeping this baby and doing the right thing. There will always be people who doubt you but you just have to remember that you're doing the right thing and you will be able to do it. Show them all wrong. I was 20 when I had my baby girl and no one thought I was strong enough. I was a single mother and when she was here all the worries melted away. I'm now having baby #2 and I'm engaged @ 22, never thought this would happen at 22 but I love every minute

I'm 19 and 24 weeks pregnant with my 2nd. My daughter is about to turn 4 and me and my husband are doing very well! He has a full time job as a welder and owns his own car audio business. I'm a stay at home wife and mother. I wouldn't change a thing about how my life has went. It was rocky and hard at first but in the end everything works out!

Im 18 and 28w3d with a baby girl mh boyfriend is 23 he earns a really good wage and I work in a secondary school and also on 2 university courses were moving into our new house next weekend of course younger mums and families can be successful sometimes more successful and better parents than older parents no body's perfect and everyone could have something to improve aslong as you know your doing things to the best of your ability then ignore the people that are putting you down x
