Young Pregnancy

[4Nheaven1here]

I'm not judging nor am I trying to be rude but I have a question for all you young moms. Now I've already asked a few of you why so early and some responded that it was an accident. Understandable accidents happen and at least your being responsible and taking care of your self and baby, bravo to you ladies!  Im wondering about the others who are purposely getting pregnant at such young ages like 21 and under? Why so early ladies? What's the rush? Btw I'm currently writing a book about this. No names will be used only opinions. I've exhausted my own topic of " Being pregnant with Cancer". Thanx to all that do share .

sorry for the long comment but i figured i needed to share my story.  Hi to start off with I am 24. I have 4 biological children they are 8,7,4,13 months and I have a 6 yr old step son that lives with me and my husband 24/7 the mother is not around. I am also currently 23weeks and 3 days. None of my pregnancies were planned. I was on different birth control every time. I had my son at the age of 16 then not even a few months later found out I was pregnant with my second son. I cried uncontrollably because I didn't understand why this was happening to me. I was still going to high school as well as breastfeeding. I graduated at 17 with two beautiful boys with no help from their dad. When he found out we were pregnant the second time he begged me to abort the baby when I refused he left me. I raised them alone while working and going to community college  and received my CNA licence. Then I had a fling with a guy for about two months before I realized he was too childish for me and me being a mother of two had enough to deal with without him. We broke up and a month later I found out I was pregnant with my now 4 yr old daughter. I told him and he didn't want anything to do with my pregnancy or our daughter. I have been raising them all alone on top of going to school for my RN up until two years ago. (I hope to one become an LPN and end working in neonatal). I meet my now husband and we have a beautiful 13 month old daughter. He also has a 6 yr old from a previous marriage that we have custody of. (His 32 yr old mom didn't want him. Said she was too young to be a mom) I have tried every birth control out there and nothing has worked. I am now 23 weeks and 3 days pregnant with our little boy.  Yes my life is super hard yes I'm still going to school and working. Would I change anything? The answer is and will always be no. I love my husband and all of my children and I thank god everyday for the life I have. My children are my world and my reason to better myself for Them to have a happy healthy life and not need or want for anything. We do the best be can with what we have and my children's smiles makes life so worth the struggle. If you have any questions or need someone to talk to feel free to message me anytime you need something. I love helping people. I hope my story helps all the other young mothers that have doubted yourselves. If I can do it so can you :) just have faith and apply yourself it will be all worth it in the end.

I finished high school and go to college. My boyfriend makes the money to support us now but I've always wanted to be independent and make my own money. The path I chose is a little unorthodox and will take more time but I will still reach any goal I set for myself.

I planned my pregnancy at 19 I'm 20 now and my baby is due November. I never planned on having kids so young and I wanted to go to school and do something in the medical field. My plans changed however when I had an unplanned pregnancy at 18 resulting in a miscarriage. After that something inside me changed. I couldn't look at a baby or a pregnant women without thinking about what I had lost. My priorities changed completely. I'm not married but me and my boyfriend have been together in a stable relationship living on our own for a while. We decided that theres never really a great time to have a baby and if we waited for the perfect time we would never have kids. So we tried and after two months I became pregnant. My family and friends have been a great support system after knowing what I went through losing my first baby.  I don't feel like I rushed into things we both weighed out the options and made this decision thoughtfully. Our baby will always be cared for and loved and isn't that what matters most? Not the age of the parents because in a lot of ways I'm more responsible and equipped to raise a child than some women 5 to 10 years older than myself.

I am 21 and planned to have my baby young because my parents had me at a late age  and at age 21 i have already lost my dad and my mom is aging quickly. i want to have my children at a young age so i am able to have a life when they are grown up and so i am young enough to enjoy my grandchildren if possible. i want to raise my kids at a young age so i have the energy and motivation to be active with my kids. i am still in school but i have a great family and i. plan to finish school to make a good life for my family

I'm 22 got pregnant at age 21 with a planned pregnancy. Me and my husband have been together for 3 years now married for almost one. I always wanted to at least have children before my 30s so that I'd be a little more physically able to get my body back afterwards and to hopefully have finished my familyby the age of 30. Me and my husband also do not believe in birth control we believe if it happens it is gods will. The funny thing about that though is that we had been hoping for a baby for a year before we got married and never were able to conceive my husband is 27 a month and a half after we got married we found out we were 6 weeks pregnant meaning she was conceived on our wedding night. Oh and I did graduate high school and have worked full time since age of 15 and am currently still working at almost 38 weeks pregnant.
