Don't wanna be pregnant anymore...

Hello I'm 16 and pregnant. Many people put me down a lot and I start feeling bad and sad. I'm 26 weeks and I know I came this far in my pregnancy I just don't want to be pregnant anymore I'm really tired of people always judging me and putting me down telling me I can't take care of a baby. Although at first I was kind of excited to meet my baby boy in August now I'm not anymore. Please help. :(

Come on baby girl I got pregnant at 16 I'm now 17 & my daughter is 4 months old. She is my entire world I love her to death. Yes people did look at me wired and talk bad about me but well it's nobody's business what I do with my life. Keep your head up high and show them that you got this.
Grown as women look at me and my little girl and shake their heads and I'm just over here laughing at them because I know dam straight I'm raising my child great psh probably even better then they did. Don't let them steal the joy of this beautiful experience because hun your going to let the losers win. Never ever let what other people say define you.
We will always have someone hate on us and all you can do is show them how happy you are with the choice you made.

I got pregnant at 14. My daughter is now 3 months old and she's the best thing that's ever happened to me. People used to be rude to me but I get told all the time in a great mom and the looks become less and less. Keep your head up and my it's hard but you can do it.

Don't be hard on yourself, it's no one's business and they should butt out. They aren't the ones taking care of your baby, you are. No matter what age a person is, they'll get judged either way. I don't see what the big deal is anyway, what i mean is: Back in the dark ages, females got pregnant at a young age and no one judged them. Why should it be different in this day and age? You'll be a great mother, your more than capable of taking care of your baby. Try not to listen to the negativity and keep your chin up. I hope you have support from family or someone else close to you :)

Dont let people get you down sweetie. This pregnancy is not about them. Im 25 and people look at me like im crazy toting around my 13 and a half month old and im 6 months pregnant with baby number 2. People are always going to judge. Just keep your head up and smile.. once you have the baby everything will come natural and you'll never regret it :-)

I had my first son at 16. People judged I just turned my head did what I needed to do. After I graduate high school I stayed to myself and took care of my son and never heard anything again! Now I'm 20 married and have a happy little family that I would not change nor I regret (: . Everything will be okayy! ((:

You just might be a better parent then the people who are judging you. Nobody has room to judge because we all aren't perfect but look past what people say you will learn that has you get older.

I think society is a bit messed up. Years and years ago it was common for 16 year olds to have babies and was even encouraged. How things have changed. Girls were married at age 16 and younger also. And they still are in some parts of the world. You should just ignore them. You are going to have a beautiful baby boy soon :) look forward to that :) Age doesn't determine how much of a good mother you are going to be. I've seen 30 year olds that shouldn't be allowed to have babies because of how they mistreat and neglect them! I have friends that are 18/20/21/16/17 that treat their babies far better. They have no right to judge you...because they don't know your capabilities! I bet if they were put in your situation....they wouldn't know how to cope. People that judge are just insecure about themselves so like to pick on others....most likely they are jealous.

Who cares what other people think? You can be 30 and married and some people are always going to judge anyway. But it's not their life. If you love your baby and you have put your mind to raising him/her that's all that matters. I'm 20yo and pregnant going to be a single mom and my own dad has no faith in me but I don't let it get to me I have support from my cotter any she told me something I think all ftms should hear: If you choose to be a good mom and make that your priority then you will be.

You have to stay strong and don't let what people say get to you. I had my first daughter at 15. Yes I got the ugly looks and I know people talked about me behind my back, but I just brushed it off. They weren't the ones helping me raise my child. My husband and I did it. Yes it was hard, but we made it. Now 10 years later we are pregnant with our 3rd daughter. Good luck and keep your head up!!

Don't be hard on yourself. God has a plan and a baby is a gift from God no matter what your circumstances are. That baby needs you. You need to remember you are the most important thing in that baby's life. Who cares what other people think. What matters is what you do for your baby.

Of course ppl will judge because u are too young to be pregnant. However what ever is done is done and at this point there's no turning back so don't mind the ppl you aren't the first or last 16 year old to be pregnant. Focus on your baby and you'll be fine. I hope u have. A supporting family and boyfriend. Good luck

So you don't want to be pregnant because of what people think? Not trying to be rude or mean but your whole life you will be judged but that should never influence your decision. They are not gonna be the ones waking up in the middle of the night nor raising your child so why listen to their opinions? Be excited, babies are a blessing and its not there fault for a decision you made, be strong you made it this far nothing should hold you back. Good luck, hope you do well for you and your baby boy
