This is my first pregnancy, I'm going to be a teen mom to a baby girl in only just 6 short weeks!
As I'm getting closer to her due date I'm completely freaking out, about her arrival being so close and worrying about if I'm going to be a good mom.. Its scary to me really because I don't know what's going to happen but my biggest worry is if her dad is going to stand up when she gets here.. We don't really talk at all anymore because he had a girlfriend (they just recently broke up) and he doesn't wanna be with me but he says he wants to be here for her, should I worry so much about him not stepping up when she arrives since he hasn't really been here for me through our pregnancy ???

Yea agreed honey. For men most the time things are not real to them until the baby comes & some men never come around. I would openly communicate with him and his family, but don't stress urself out if he doesn't respond. Wish you well dear!

I was kind of in the same boat as you with my oldest daughter, she is now 9. Listen just worry about you and her, there will be nothing more important to you then her once she gets here. My daughter and I are so close, we really grew up together. It was amazing. Her father has nothing to do with her but I'm glad of that. Just do what you need to do to be a good mom. And I promise 9 years later you will have an amazing daughter, and a best friend who you couldn't love more

You're right, thank you so much(:

Don't really worry about him. Focus on your baby girl :) if his family is happy for you then know they'll support you whether he steps up or not. It'll be his loss. But for a fact he is gunna come around to help out with his baby. Just like its scary for you, its more for him. You know. Guys freak out and leave but come back and slowly try to be there. Its not like its going to happen over night. But he will. Let him feel "ready" til then. You're the one who has to keep focused. Don't let him get to you. :) and yea.

He's personally not a conversation person with me like he Push's me away ..
We haven't really decused that yet.
His family knows,and they are pretty happy so I don't know..

Maybe have a conversation and talk about what his role will be. Does he want to be called when she us born or you go jbti labor. Does his family know? How do they play into the baby's life - some things to consider

There's a forum 18- 24years old that have more young moms in there - just so you know!
