I'm still young too I'm 19 my cousin who I mention is barely just turned 18. Her mom and dad were never ard. Just our nana took care of her. My nana was shocked but accepted my cuzs baby daddy and even helped married them. But recently they lost thier home due to her husband losing his job so now my cuz her husband and two kids stay with my nana in a small trailor barely getting by. Things can change in an instant, you don't want to burn any bridges with your mom if she's wanting to be there for her grandchild. This baby could help out yals relationship. So in my honest opinion I wouldn't jump the gun and get hitched if she's really against it give her time to get use to the idea once the baby comes and she can see how well you and your bf are doing for the baby she might just accept it. Do don't be upset she's probably just concerned about yals well being for the Babys sake. Don't assume anything or take off with your bf bc you might regret it later on.

It is YOUR BABY! Not hers and she needs to realize that! Me and my boyfriend got married when we found out i was pregnant. Its going great and we wull be a good example for the baby. Do what you want ti do when your 18. You are your own person.

I'm 17 1/2 and we've been planning marriage and stuff before we found out that I was pregnant but my mom thinks we are trying to take her grandchild from her and that we won't let her see the baby she is not even letting him be a full time father as well and she thinks he can't support us . Btw my mom and I don't get along never have since I was kid I just moved in with her recently from being kicked out my dad's house.

Take from a girl who's seen it too many times. When the girl gets pregnant her or the daddy or both think oh we love each other let's gets married but marriage is a sacred thing which shouldn't be taken lightly. Doesn't matter the age or how you feel for one another you don't need to feel like you must get married right away just bc you got prego. My cousin got married when she got prego, to what she thought was the best bf ever. Had such a lovely wedding moved in and within months started to regret it. Those feelings she had started to fade. They are still married and prego with thier second and all those nice things he did for her, he doesn't do now. They don't love each other anymore the spark faded. Now she's stuck married with two kids whom they love to death but she's miserable everyday and she won't consider a divorce bc of the kids. In the long run though with arguing it's not good for the kids to hear that either. I really feel for her. Not all men are bad not all will change on you I'm just saying don't rush just bc you got pregnant. I'm prego  myself due may 20th ftm and I love my bf to death we are inseparable but we decided not to jump into marriage to take it slow and not make any rash decisions. GOODLUCK huh congrats on your baby hope all works out for you. Just thought I'd share my perspective on things, everybodys got a different situation tho
