Cbeebies I started drinking with meals etc at 14, then last year I lived the full student lifestyle, so this year the difference has been felt, but I'm enjoying being teetotal, and my OH is too (he was never much of a drinker anyway).
What an awful thing to say 
firstly, it's a ridiculous assumption to make, and secondly, what business of hers is it anyway?
I've always been a tiny little bit of a rebel in that if I feel people are doubting me, I become ten times more determined to prove them wrong. I think that's why I'm feeling so confident about my ability to do this properly; I've had a few negative reactions and it's just made me want to show them that I can do it no matter what they say.
Still, for a midwife to come out with that I wanted to be a midwife for ages during school and college, but after talking to my mum, she told me that in her experience, although all midwives are trained, the ones she felt she had more trust in were the ones who'd had children of their own (although she says the best one she ever had in terms of friendliness and care was a male midwife!). In the future I'm hoping to retrain as a midwife once my own kids are grown up - another advantage of having them young I guess :)
Xavielli it's ridiculous the fact that there's even a need to label it... and yet it's become such a common phrase that I refer to myself as a young mum-to-be, a teenage pregnancy, everything like that. I think the worst thing is when people assume that I regret it... it was an accident, it was unplanned, but I don't regret it, and it has made me re-evaluate everything I think. I didn't judge teenage mothers before, but I just never really appreciated the strain pregnancy puts on everyone.
It's also made me realise how lucky I am to have gotten pregnant so quickly, as I've seen - in OH's sister and her husband, mainly - the strain that TTC and struggling to conceive can put on people.
