Were/ Are you a teenage mum?

[RubyMummy]

I am doing a Masters in Child Welfare and my thesis topic is based on teenage pregnancy (19 or under giving birth).

I am looking for anyone prepared to fill out a short questionnaire who has experience of teen pregnancy (whatever the outcome) Obviously the information will be anonymous.

Please post here or email me [email protected] if you would be wlling to help. Thankyou :)

c'mon on, i'll do it. was a month of my 20th birthday when i gave birth.

I will do one, I was 18 when I had my first one, got pregnant at 17.

thanks girls - am in the process of creating questionnaire. Will post back here when its ready to send out - would you prefer to send it back by post or if i do it as a word file would you be able to fill it out and email it back that way?
Thanks again - very much appreciated x

Am using software to create online version so should be easy to fill in online. Will post the link here. Thanks again.

i'll do it, was 18 when I had Ds (one month before my 19th birthday)

have posted on your other thread

I was :) My emails [email protected] when you have the questionaire ready :)

This is my \link{http://www.thesistools.com/?qid=9824&ln=eng\questionnaire} I am very greateful for your support - it really is invaluable and your opinions will inform social service practice (in my region at least)

The link will ask you to give a name or email address to prevent anyone doing it more than once - your MN nickname will be fine.

As I said this is totally confidential.

Thanks again. xx

I actually am finding it hard to do, we were married when I had Ds, and therefore I had no support or advice from anywhere.

I was pg at 16 and had 2 dd,s by time I was 18
will do quest for you:)

Could you just say that is the case and perhaps that is something that needs addressing - support for younger parents in all situations? Feel free to write what would have helped you under your circumstances. Thanks x

have done your questionaire.

done it

question 12 is puzzling me. after having dd1 i went to our own flat, wasnt council, we owned it.

you need last option then misdee.... alone, private

Am I allowed to have a go I was pg at 19 but 20 when I had dd.

but i wasnt alone. had peter with me.

please ecuse myu fuzzy head.

i THINK (but may be wrong) that it measn as a couple you were alone... ie not living with family.
but may be wrong!

ruby, come and help me lol.

Starlover is right! Alone as a couple in private accomodation! Thankyou. Tegan - please feel free ro do it if you think it is relevant to you!

I have done questionnaire. I was 16 when I had ds.

have filled in the quest.
sorry if answers are brief was trying to see to dd at the same time.

THANKYOU all so much - fantastic response and lots of insightful ideas :-)
