Thanks so much I feel so much better knowing that I'm not the only one feeling this way! I live y little boy so much already as he's not even here yet :)
I am 23 and a FTM. I got married at 19. Although I have been married almost 4 years when we announced our pregnancy we still felt very judged. People just have to come around to the idea. You are growing a precious baby. Dont let anyone look down on you- be proud! You csn't change things now. Enjoy your shower and just prove to people you are young but you will be a good mommy.
Im also 21 pregnant with my first. I dont think it matters in this time of age if your married or not (although for grandparents its a big deal) but i wasnt scared at all since both my cousins younger then me already had babies and they are both mest up in the head. My one cousin is 18yrs old with a one yrs old baby girl and shes running after a 35yr old married man. So really i have nothing to fear. If my family wants to talk (and trust me they will lol) i know im in a stable relationship. We both love eachother very much and we know we are going yo be great parents for our son and thats all that matters to me. I was adopted by my dad and his family (beside my grandpa, God bless his sole) hated me. I was the child from a ******* and they. spent every minutes of my childhood to remind that. Now that im pregnant with the only boy im treated like a freaking angel! And i hate there two face back stabbing attitude.
So dont be worried about what others think or say. All you need to know is your going to be the best thing that ever happened to your baby :) and nobody can take that away from you! Just hold your head high and show them how proud you are! Good luck momma!
I got pregnant at 17 n had my baby at 18......I was in foster care still! Yes in any situation it can b difficult to tell a certain person.....I'm on my second n my husband n I were terrified to tell his dad. Though hes the father of both our children it still was nerve wrecking lol I do hope everything works out for u .
Thanks ladies :) I'm not so much worried about them saying anything at the shower I'm worried about what they will say behind my back :( I hate being talked about even of its good I'd rather be just left out of conversation you know? Me and my boyfriend are so happy about the baby and have planned on getting married for the past 4 years it just hasn't been the right time. Now we have decided to wait because we don't want anyone to think we're getting married because of the baby. My grandma already went off on my boyfriend because he didn't aske me to marry him when I got pregnant! But that's not what I want I don't want to get married because people think its right I want to because it makes me happy and him happy! So I'm worried that if I'm out of the room rude comments will be made or things like that! But I guess I'm just super paranoid and always have been. But I'm excited that so much of my family decided to come to the shower anyway :)
I had my oldest when I was 17. I didn't care what anyone thought because I knew I was doing the right thing by keeping my kid, so all the naysayers could go naysay up their a s s e s
