ask anything {}Teen mom{}

[piperm]

For my other post, this is my two month old son (and for other people who just see yes long story short, I'm a 15 year old mom)

Feel free to leave advice or ask anything

What country are you from and in?

I don't really have any questions, but I just wanted to say you have an adorable baby!
A bit of advice going off of your pictures is research hip problems based on being sat in bumbo seats.
A bit if general advice is enjoy every second! I went back to work far too early and I'm starting to regret it now that I'm back to spending all of my time with my little one. They really don't stay small for long and things like education or work can be sorted later on if needed, but this time doesn't come back.

For the first question @BecauseReasons , for personal safety reasons i do not share that and I'm sure lots of mothers don't, my apologies if you were simply curious

@itsamadmadworld thank you! And yes I just put him in it once to see how he could hold his head up without me, happened to get a few photo because he was happy, and I'm not going out to work, simply doing everything education included online with him beside me

What a beautiful baby!

How are you finding it? Are you happy?

A friend of mine was a teacher and was really struck by how much more ambitious and hard working a pregnant pupil was as she had a drive to do well - I am sure I wouldn’t have had the maturity and had our first at 28 but I was impressed

Congratulations on your baby

How did the hospital staff react to you?

Why do you think saying ‘I’m in England’ (or wherever) is in any way dangerously identifying, when you’ve just posted several photos of your (very cute) baby on an enormous Internet forum?

LemonSock I agree actually as personally am wary of sharing personal photos but sharing a country I could be any one of million of people!

He's a Beautiful baby!

Have your friends stuck by you ?

@LooseleafTea I love it I can't imagine a life without my sweet baby boy, he made me a completely new person and I've never loved anyone or anything as much as I love him, the sleepless nights and the random hours of crying are so worth it! He's such a good baby too so I'm lucky!!!, yeah it's been hard but at the same time I have motivation to succeed now, I have to make a good life for both him and i.

@LemonSock fair point.

@GlitterToast in the delivery room the staff were great, super sweet girls and it was nice they were willing to joke with me when i was in pain to take my mind off it, as for the recovery room, staff was awful, the father of my child had to go get medication for me that they were supposed to bring me multiple times and overall they were rude.

@emmielia no, i lost all my friends but 2, even then they rarely talk to me, the father of my child is sticking by us though and supporting me so that's really all I need anyways, I've never been social so I'm not to hurt by my friends leaving.

Just to point out that if those photos are on Facebook or another online forum and someone does a Google image search on them, they'll be able to find you immediately.

How do you and the father support the baby?
Do you both have plans for further education?

You won’t say which country you are from for “personal safety reasons” but will post photos of your baby?

🤔

What country your in is relevant as thigs are different depending on the country from, births to education, to social support.

Do you parents support you?
He’s very cute but be very careful with pics on here.

Can’t everyone just accept that the OP doesn’t want to reveal her country? Give it a rest! He’s an incredibly cute baby!

He’s lovely!

@BrooHaHa no social media 🤷‍♀️

@wibblewobblejiggle both of us are still in highschool planning to graduate, i do online schooling, father has a job and I work from home with family

@ElementalIllusions I'm not worried of people searching me up, and I'm not worried of posting pictures of him on a platform for mothers and fathers, how is posting these on here any higher of a risk, as lets say Facebook, and millions of people post pictures of their families on there.

@june2007 that makes sense thank you but I still prefer not to say 🤷‍♀️

@Yogawoogie for the longest time majority of my family did not, they shamed me, but as time passed in the pregnancy my mother accepted the fact and began to teach me what i needed to know, and was excited, my moms parents were extremely helpful too and besides that, my step father and his family very few accept it, and thank you I'll be careful

@Toilenstripes thank you

@Thickmuthafuckers 😊😊😊😊

So I’m assuming USA?
Are you concerned about the lack of assistance with regards to health care? Especially in the current climate?

What do you want to study after high school?

Yesnot UK as we don,t graduate from high school.

@wibblewobblejiggle close but no, and yeah usa is pretty shitty, sorry to anyone who lives there reading this

@IsolationBoredom something with science, soil microbiology used to be a childhood dream of mine

Yesnot UK as we don,t graduate from high school

You do if you live in Scotland. Many aspects of the US education system is based on the Scottish one. That’s why they do 4 years at uni like we do in Scotland.

Ah ok dind,t know scots grafduated after doing highers. (Knew they often start uni at 17 though instead of 18) How do you find juggling school and parenting? Do you go to any support groups.

@june2007
Juggling school and parenting is difficult sometimes but it's not as chaotic as I thought it would be, i do online schooling so they gave me exceptions to take my time as long as everything is finished at the end of school before summer, i went to support groups while pregnant but I decided to stick specifically with my nurse, it upset me seeing other teen parents because of how immature they were acting, i wanted to be able to have a clean slate and be a good mother, watching them made me paranoid that I'd be like them, I have enough support by the father and my nurse, mom and grandparents, I've never clicked with people my age anyways always found them being so immature and not thinking straight was rather frustrating
