My baby having a baby at 15

[Kri5te1]

OK so this is my first thread here, my baby who is 15 is pregnant, OK this is not the first teenage pregnancy I have had to deal with, I was 16 when fell pregnant with my first, then she fell pregnant too at 16, but this is my baby I'll always support my kids but this one hurt, things will be hard for her and she won't get much financial help as me and her dad both work full time, and there was me thinking I may be able to cut down on overtime hahaha.

OP I know this is probably preaching to the choir as you’ve been there yourself and with your other daughter already but teenage mums stand the absolute best chances of coping well and carrying on their education When they have good family support. Yes it’s not what you would have chosen as her best path but it’s the one she’s on and if she is to make the best of a bad situation then she stands a far better chance with her parents supporting her. I know this is probably nothing new to you. You’re probably already doing all you can for her anyway.

I hope the OP and her family are in one of the areas of the UK where teenage pregnancy is common as the support services are more geared up towards the specific needs of young mothers, and she’ll have the company of others who will understand. If she’s not, the judgements will come thick and fast.
You don’t mention the father OP. Is he going to be involved?

You are not peddling this 'advice' to anyone in real life are you. And not to teenage girls, please tell us you're not

Read and learn.

ReaganSomerset, having 3 children in an already overpopulated world can hardly be called an achievement can it?

Yes, it can. Maybe not by your standards, but not everyone shares those.

wow this must be hard for you and her, so sorry darling. my sister was pregnant at 14 (yes 14!!) and although she was scared, she had my perf niece ! guess all you can do is support her as much as possible and prepare her for this big step. Hugs x
