Young mommies?!?

[1992Mama]

Any of you young mamas worried about how your older family is going to look at you at the baby shower?I'm 21 and not married... I am terrified to see some of my family at the shower because I haven't seen them since I've been pregnant. Most of the people coming to my shower are  25-80 years old and I feel like they are going to look at me badly! I am very self conscience!

I have learned that u can't worry about what other ppl are thinking. I say just enjoy urself and if anyone makes a comment then let them cause they are just making themselves look bad. You should see the amt of dirty looks I get cause im 24 and 31 wks pregnant with our third and not mamrried but still with their father.  My kids father is Lebanese and they are big on getting married and have schooling done then having kids but we did things in different order. I have even had a Guy in a mall stop in front of me and look at my 2 kids then my belly and made sure I was looking at him and shook his head at me to make the point that im young and shouldn't have kids. I do look younger the 24 tho but he is very lucky I had my kids with me cause I would have used some really harsh words that a 3 yr old can't hear lol

Don't worry about how they look at you. Your family SHOULD be supportive and if they're not make it very clear that that is what you want/need from them. I'm 19, and pregnant with my third. Although I am married, my family has the stereotypes for everyone. Just make sure your family knows what your concerns are.

I'm 18. I just recently got married. We have a honeymoon baby coming in December. I'm worried about people will think. I get comments all the time, asking if I was already pregnant so we got married. Or comments om how we should have waited. I think in ever pregnancy there is going to be worry about what people thinnk. As long as your happy with your choice to keep the baby.. focus on only that.

I am 21 and no married but I live with my boyfriend/baby daddy...and I know he is the one I'm going to be with forever. Everything is so easy with him. I dreaded telling my entire family because I knew they would judge me. They already believed I was living in sin and now I'm just adding to it. Well I'm 36+4 now and I can honestly say I have never felt so close to some of my family members as I do now. It was really hard for me to spend time with any of them...my mom's friends included but they took it better than I thought. Everything is great now and I have no worries about bringing this baby into my family.

I'm not young per say, 26 ftm. But I am the third youngest of my step siblings, which whom are all married (except for my 21yr step brother). I am not married, and not even with the baby's father so needless to say I was a little unnerved thinking about my shower, since I am the only one NOT blood related either. I will only have two friends there are the rest will be their family, but only my Mother and Grandmother. I'm now looking forward to it , if anyone has anything to say or doesn't approve....show em the door. It's about you and your child now, and the people who aren't supportive and aren't there for you, don't matter : ) I cant wait to eat the food!
