Teen Pregnancy Problems
I'm 16 and pregnant, and Nobody seems happy about my baby even though they already knew for a while. Its starting to make me feel like I don't want my baby anymore or love it and and myself. I don't know what to do. Please help
I had my first baby at 14! Don't let them bring you down!!
Specialmom gave some real, heart-to-heart advice. That's the kind of advice I wish I had. It's hard to stomach, but I wouldn't change a thing. Good luck!
I had my first at 16 and my family wasn't happy at first, ignored me and hurt my feelings a lot too. Tell them how they are making you feel, and that you understand they are worried but this is your choice if your choosing to keep the baby. I kept my son and it was he best decision ever! My family loves my kids
I think it is hard to be a teen mom and at 16, usually kids are still dependent on their parents still. This makes parents and other adults 'worry'. About you. About the baby. To you, that may look like they are not excited but they are worried.
A baby is a lot to take on at any time in your life but especially when you are still a young girl. That doesn't mean you can't do it and it won't work out. But, it takes a lot of sacrifice and planning. Your life will be very different as a mother. Free time is now spend being a parent and all other time is in school (PLEASE stay in school) or at work. That can be a lot for a young person. And you have to have a supportive family to make it all work. So, think about if this is the life you want for yourself right now. If so, then put a plan in place, line things up and take on the challenge. If not, there is always adoption. Adoption is a wonderful thing when someone is not in a good position to be a mama just yet. Then you can go on to have a family later when it makes more sense.
But that is up to you. YOU have to decide how you want your life to go.
But parents worry. That's their job. :>) good luck

With some families*
I was 17 when i was pregnant with my first and i was in the same situation. But the only person that was happy was my grandfather only cause i was the first one to give him a great grandchild.
You cant make people happy but when the baby comes your family will be happy to see a healthy baby. They are probably upset cause your 16 and pregnant and your teenage years will end. Just keep your head up and love this baby unconditionally. I'm here of you need to talk

How long have they known? I'm 18 and 6 and 1/2 months pregnant. My aunts and uncles weren't completely okay with it until about 5 months. With done families it could take until the baby gets here. Even though my family wasn't okay with it, I still tell my baby boy every day that I love him. Don't worry about your family, worry about you and baby being happy and healthy :)
DoNt feel like that!
A baby is a blessing.
Think of all the women out there who want to be pregnant and CAN'T.
You are lucky trust me!
I know you're still too young but hey God always knows what he's doing.
Forget everyone else.
It's just you and your baby now.
I'm sure they'll change their mind once the baby comes.
Remember to love yourself and the baby because this is a true blessing.
Stat strong and ignore all the negativity!
