I'm also 19 years old, I found out I was pregnant and thankfully my boyfriend and I had money saved up and got our own apartment.  We live not to far from his mom's and not to far from my mom's. Both our mothers are excited but my mother wants to be more involved, I guess it's naturally. I started planning stuff for the baby shower she said no ill take care of it, when she found out my doctor and what hospital I'm delivering in she was mad and said I should change it. Honestly it is your child and at the end it's your decision. Our mothers already have that instinct so they want to use it on everyone

Im having the same problem. I told her im not splitting up my family. My daughter deserves to have her dad around at all times. If me and him end up spliting ul later on then okay but im not gknna be the one to cause my family to be apart.

Move out on your own. It will show her your independent. Your an adult.. you don't need someone ordering you around.  The last thing you need is stress after the new baby arrives.

I think it's ultimately up to you. I had my own place by the time I had my first child but I moved in with my mother for the first weeks after my son was born. We had the worst relationship before I became pregnant, but my pregnancy bonded us. My now husband didn't mind because he worked during the day and had class at night. For me having my own before my now husband and I moved in together worked for me.

I am 19 and moved out. I live with the father. It's best if you think he will be a help and it won't put a a train on both of you because it could cause a lot of fighting. But just make sure if you do move out that you ensure your mother that she will still be a big part of everything you do.

My mom is the same! She was telling me how I'm gonna raise her and when I'm gonna baptize her (which I was not!) And when my daughter came along it got worse! And it took me six months to move out. I say get out now before it g e'er T's worse and harder for you to leave.

If you don't move out now im guessing it will only get harder to in the long run, and I know mums get some times over excited but the way my mum puts it is its her baby having a baby and im 21 lol
