Teenage pregnancy..

[Misfitless]

Please can you share your stories with me if you were a very teenager when you had your first child, or if your own child has gone on to be a parent whilst still a teenager.

I am interested to know how you all coped, and if you/they managed to achieve ambitions and follow dreams whilst becoming a parent so young.

TIA.

(Will also post this elsewhere, when I've worked out the best place for it! )

Meant to delete that very!

Why do you need to know this?

Why do you need to know why I need to know?

If you don't want to answer, that's fine you can ignore my post.

I'm absolutely not a journalist, if that's what you're thinking.

I accidentally fell pregnant at 18 and am currently sat BFing my 3 week old son.
He is the absolute love of my life and everyday me and DP fall more in love with him. I'm going to university in September to pursue a career in teaching and my little boy makes me more determined than ever.
I didn't imagine my life going this way but now I've found myself on this path, I wouldn't change it for the world. We're fortunate enough to have no money worries, which may contribute to feeling so positive about it.
This quote sums it all up perfectly: 'being a young mum means we met a little early but it also means I get to love you a little longer. Some people said my life ended when I had a baby, but my life had just begun. You didn't take away my future, you gave me a new one.'

Oh Slh122, that's just lovely!

Congratulations!

It's lovely to hear such positive experiences.

Good luck with your degree and career. Thanks for sharing, too.
