This is my first child and I'm 23 weather your 14 or 23 you worrie because you don't know what to expect.. don't be pressured in to anything you don't want to do I.e c section..normal birth the way I see it is what will happen will happen and you carnt change any of it I've seen lots of ladies make birthing plans and then when it came to it everything changed the only advice I can give is what I do my self which is don't panic because it will only cause stress to you and your baby

Congrats , being a mommy is a true blessing (: don't go with c section Unless they really need too . My cousins were 14 as well when they got pregnant & they all delivered vaginally . Good luck (:

[Ashbaby1990]

I agree don't do a c- section unless you medical have too.. Do you research about future babies after a c section ..

[crisram]

I'm proud of you, that's all I have to say. You will succeed as a mother, if you're determined enough. Good luck, congrats, and you'll be fine!

First of all congratulations. I applaud you for the decision you're making. I was 14 when I got pregnant with my first and I was beyond scared of giving birth at 15. I don't recommend getting a cesarean. When my water broke I cried my eyes out bc I didn't know what to expect next but once that baby is laid in your arms looking at you you'll forget about everything else. You can do it, good luck sweetie.

I was sedated gurl so I hardly remember lol

Hannahandbaby... great for u that ur not scared of giving birth.. Im 26 & know I am lol

[hannahandbaby]

Im 15 and im not scared of giving birth at all. Its all worth it to have your baby. Im more scared of a c section than delivering my baby vaginally.

What is going to matter here,  and make this very workable,  is if all 4 grandparents stay involved.  Statistically,  it's unlikely that you and your boyfriend will remain as a couple for the long term,  but the commitment and cooperation from both sets of grandparents to give financial support and child care help will make this doable.

You don't say where you live,  but in every city there is help for girls who get pregnant in the way of counseling,  mentoring,  parenting classes and childbirth classes.  I used to teach child birth to young teens and found that to be a very valuable support for teen mothers and their moms to come together and share their struggles and successes.

There are so many girls who are all alone,  or who have immature and petty parents that make this situation unworkable - if you are one of the lucky few that has support you'll be able to manage this better.

I was 16 when I got pregnant. Had my daughter at 17. Im now 26 married and having my 3rd. & im still scared lol. Every pregnant mama is scared one way or another. Its normal. U will do great! Congrats girl u made the right decision!

[HannahJohnson]

Its not as bad as you might think I delivered my first at 16. They will give you an epidural and you won't feel a thing after that.

[MorganElizabeth18]

Seriously . She's here for support not smartas.s comments from rude insensitive people .

[ItszSamiAm]

I Was 14 When I Delivered My First Born , Its Really Easy If You Take Really Good Care Of YourSelf. And Dont Get A C-section If You Dont Need It I Didnt And I Came Out Good & Healthy Out Of The Hospital With My Son Being The Same. Good Luck & Dont Worry To Much About It.

[Josierivera_14]

people always will have something negative to say. i hate people who put down pregnant women because why stress a pregnant women out even more and make her feel bad. theres a baby in her and the baby doesn't need to hear that. you are very very brave for not getting an abortion. i don't believe in it either. i can't really give you advice this is my first baby so haven't gone through birth yet but i can tell you pregnancy has its ups and downs but trust me it is so worth it when you feel them kicking. i feel her kicking all the time and when i do all my worries go away and i adore her and can't wait for her to be here. babys change your life. good luck and don't stress about other people in what they have to say. i hope you have a safe and good pregnancy :)

Definitely respect your decision to own up to your own actions. Kudos. Watch some videos on YouTube of women giving birth, it will give you a good idea of what it will be like. The women on this app are generally kind, even with the younger ones, as long as they show maturity and responsibility. (I'm 17, 18 in July).

[Kolina24]

Dont get a c-section unless there is an emergency. They can cause so many issues in the future.  And sometimes woman can't give birth vaginaly after one. You can do it! Don't worry. Your body was made for this. :) if you want a lot of info on birth " the business of being born" is a great movie. Its on Netflix and YouTube. Oh and remember to take prenatal vitamins :)

[MorganElizabeth18]

You may be 14 but from what you're saying it seems all of this has really matured you . I respect your decision to stand up and take care of your business . You'll be a great mother with a positive attitude like that . As far as the c-section thing , im sure you will have a choice && its normal to be scared . Whether you're 14 or 40 , giving birth is nerve racking ! Best of luck ! Xo .

hun my sister was 14 when she had her first child and she delivered her vaginally. I definitely wouldn't do a c-section. if you don't need it I would do it. You should take a couple of  breathing classes or labor classes or whatever they're called just to help you out

[autobotmomma]

I would not get a c section unless it is medically necessary. Someday you might want to do a vaginal birth and they might not let you BC you chose to get a c section. Yes labor and birth hurt but your body was designed for this and can handle it. Take it from someone who already had a baby, the minute they put your child in your arms you forget what the pain was like.

[Leah_Dan]

We're all scared of birth but know it's 100% worth it.
You should be very proud for keeping the baby

[Lulu_Beear]

Aubree , what are c sections like ? do they hurt o: and when does the scar heal ?

[angelelaine]

I'm 16 & pregnant.  My advice to you is to stay healthy,  whatever is not safe don't take any chances.  I know we are youmg & want to have fun but it's not worth your child's health,  cherish these 9 months & ignore all negative comments love. You can still be successful,  do what you gotta do,  keep your stress level down & just enjoy ☺goodluck.  

[Aubree23]

Dnt stress just take good care of yourself.  Drink plenty b of water and take your prentals.  Everything will be fine. Ive had c sections and will have another one this pregnancy so I cant speak on labor. But congrats!.
