Young mothers

Okay, I'm only 17 and I'm now 20w+1 with baby number one. My 18th is barely two months before the baby is due. I was just wondering if any other young mommies have some good advice? I can't really talk to my mom about it since she was in her midtwenties before she had her first. Plus my pregnancy has been the total opposite of all three of hers. I would really appreciate your answers.

I'm 18. I had just graduated and I got pregnant.
I turned 18 & turned 13 weeks pregnant. So I didn't get to do anything just a lil cookout & some cake but I didn't and don't complain about it. We planned our son. My hubby is turning 23.

I was 16 with my first, got pregnant a few months before my 20th bday with my 2nd. If you haven't yet, have a game plan to graduate high school, and plan for income, even if your living with your parents, it makes you feel good to buy your baby his/her needs. Be strong and make sure you show every one that your devoted to being the best mommy you can. And like said above, accept help!!

I was 17 when I got pregnant with my first now 19 with my second. Having a baby at 17 was the hardest thing I ever did. But also the most rewarding. Make sure you finish school. You're be able to better support your child. And take help from everyone who offers it. It was a life saver for me! Don't be afraid to ask for help either! Good luck :)
