I'm 18 also and me and my baby's father met through work. I don't work there anymore and he got a promotion. So now we barley see each other . But he still there, even tho I know ill have my son 80% of the time.  Our love will make it work. Good luck. Make the best out of it. It's a beautiful thing.

I was told by someone that some of the best moms are the ones that worry about being good enough. I have a week and a half until I find out what my little one is and then 20 weeks until I meet them. I found out I was pregnant the day I turned 18 and it was scary at first but once you realize how amazing being pregnant is it gets a lot better

I'm 18 and have a nine week old son, I freaked out my entire pregnancy wondering if I was ready because I certainly didnt feel it. I even thought about adoption right up until I had him. The day I had him chnaged my life. Each and every day I love him even more. I couldn't imagine life without him. It's a natural thing to be a mum . message me if you ever want to talk x

I was exactly like that im 18 and my boyfriend lives and works 50 miles away so ill have to bring up a baby 90% of the time on my own. Im now 15 weeks and im so excited to be a mother, i just see it as i get to meet my first child earlier than expected. I thought I was only 2-3 weeks gone and then i went for my dating scan turned out I was 12+1 seeing my baby on the screen was the best thing I've ever experienced and I honestly wouldnt change being a mum at the age of 18.

Just be the best person you could ever be to your little angel.. no one is perfect and things happen that we do not plan or expect but that's life. I seen to many mothers who said they weren't ready to be mom's and at the end the child payed for it. You have parents who are there for you and at the end that's all you could ever ask for. God bless you and your baby.
