Don't worry about what other people say. As long as you love your baby and prepared to do anything to keep him/her safe, you are just another mother like every other mother irrespective of your age. I think perhaps those bashing would maybe have wanted you to experience other things before making such a big commitment (eg finish school, go to university, have a career, whatever it may be) but at the same time, there is no sequence to how people decide to lead their lives. Perhaps having a baby will help you make other decisions in your life to enrich it, who knows but only you can decide this, no one else has a say over what you do and how you do it. Chin up and be proud you will be someone's mum next year! Not many women can say this unfortunately, so consider yourself blessed.
Sometimes it's hard to ignore because it's everyday, plus I'm super hormonal. But I know I have to ignore anyway for the sake of my baby. Yes a baby is a blessing from God and I'm very happy I'm having one!
Some people judge anyone no matter what they do. When I was graduated from college I got pregnant and u wouldn't believe some people and the rude comments. I was 23 and people acted like i was too young. It's really stupid. It hurts but try yo ignore negative people and their harsh judgements. What matters is family, being happy, healthy, life fulfillment, and memories. Judgemental people just hate themselves or are unhappy with their lives most likely.
unfortunately this happens to me as well I am 22 years old and married but people still look at me funny because I appear younger than I really am the only people that really support me is my mother and my husband her friends are excited for me but, my friends are not they worried that I won't be able to afford my baby even though I have a really good job because my husband works minimum wage.people make me cry every single day and make me feel like I'm going to be a terrible mother this is my first child and I'm over the moon with excitement to have a baby it was a completely planned pregnancy and people still judge me
Well all ppl are different and think differently just keep your head up and don't let it get to you. People are always going to talk. Like in my family it's not a bad thing because in my family you marry young and start family young like I was married to the love of my life never want to be anyone else at 17 had our first baby at 18 and had our 2nd at 20 and iI will be 21 soon. Everyone has different opinions about it.
I'm sorry people are acting like that, but honestly it doesn't matter what your age. People always have to say something. When I was in the military my hubby and I tried for years and I was bashed because I was "active duty". When we finally had a baby I was bashed for wanting a second one so close together. Now I get looks because it's my third and my older two are two and one. Not only that but now they think it's okay to comment on me being so "old". A baby is a blessing no matter what your age or status. The only time I ever feel bad for younger moms is because my mom was a young mom and I know how rough it was for her and my dad. She had to finish high school pregnant with me and he joined the military so he could provide for the family.
Yea you're right! I live for my little baby!
Dont hunni :). We have the best gift from god in our tummies. We live for them.
Yea you're right! I guess I let them get to me
Dont worry about what other people say. Worrying about them will cause depression and stress which is not healthy for the baby. Focus on your child. Nothing else should matter.
Ok, I'm just 2 days from being 9 weeks
I don't think people intentionally bash. But it is going to be a huge change and it will be a struggle. Good luck with your pregnancy! First trimester ends at 14 weeks :-)
Yea my family bashed me too, my baby's father claims he'll be there but he lives an hour away. I'm still in my first trimester. I literally cry every day. All of this hurts.
Correct I Agree , People Are So Judgemental I Will Be 18 Dec 25th And I Found Out I Was Pregnant In December And Everyone Bashes Me That Im Too Young, But I Am Happy Because Like You Said If God Didnt Want You To Have A Baby He Wouldn't Have Planned It . Keep Your Head Up Girl , Im 12Weeks Tomorrow And After All The Stress I Was Under From Family And Friends My Little Peanut Made It Through The First Trimester...Hopefully You Have Some Support I Have The Father Of My Child To Support Me Through This.
Well its the way things are in the world. People are rude about older mothers too. But please please, please, don't Blame god for personal mistakes/occurrences, there is such a thing as free will and so you should take responsibility for your own actions.
