Any teen mums out there??

[abbieleighhx25]

!!!PLEASE NO HATE OR JUDGING!!!!!
Okay so I don't really want to get into the story but the ending of it is I'm 16 and 24 weeks pregnant was just seeing if there was any other teen mummy's out there 💗👶🏻🍼

I'm not but just wanted to bump for you. No reason why you should get any hate or judging. Congratulations on your pregnancy:)

Hi, no judging! I was a teen Mum (18) it wasn’t easy & your life will change so dramatically but believe me you’ll look back and be so proud of what you’ve achieved.

Have you much support??

Bump-congrats xx

Nothing to be judged for as a teen mum. I was a teen mum and my baby just turned 19. He is an amazing young man.
Best of luck

I'm a bit older than you (21) but got pregnant while still at uni, had absolutely no savings, no family support on my side, had only been with my partner 6 months and was bloody terrified and felt very very young. Then I quickly put on my big girl boots and came around to the idea and was very excited. I'm now mum to a 3 month old daughter and she's absolutely amazing. Good luck and I hope you have a good support system. It's difficult but life changing and amazing

Congrats!

Congratulations xx

Not a teen mum, 22 and past that, but I do know several teen mum's when I was a teen and they have wonderful little families now a few years on. One has 3 under 4 and is doing brilliantly!
Congratulations on your pregnancy - you're young but there is absolutely no reason you shouldn't be an exceptional mummy!

Congratulations Op,

I got pregnant at 17 with my DD had her at 18. And at the time it was hard to dealt with judgements. However on the plus side, had a specialist team of teen mom midwives who were amazing and my parents in the end were amazing to.
Wishing you all the best

Thank you all for your kind words it means a lot

Congratulations! Do you have much support? I know where I live there are several support groups for teenage mums, maybe you’d find one of those useful?

Yes I do have support I have a very supportive family and a support nurse who helps prepare young mums for having a baby unfortunately there isn't much support from the babies dad and his family

Congratulations!!

I was a teen mum at 19. My baby is now 17 (turning 18 in April) and applying to university. I’m so incredibly proud of him. Yes your life does change, but I wouldn’t have had it any other way! My life has been (and still is) so rich because of my eldest. My only tip would be to not let your goals in life become less important. Sure, your child will become your main priority, but don’t forget about yourself in the meantime. Finish school, pursue a career that you want to do and have fun doing it!
All the best!

I’m not a teen mum myself but just wanted to say congratulations on your pregnancy. I wouldn’t judge/hate if I bumped into you at baby groups- I’d think “holy crap, no way could I have done that at her age!”

A relative of mine had a baby late teens and was worried about telling our elderly and highly opinionated relative. Although this relative is very traditional in many ways, her words when she heard the news about our young, unmarried teenaged mum relation was “all babies are a blessing” which I thought was just bloody lovely. We had assumed she would be all “tut tut what a silly girl she’s ruined her life” but we were so wrong. My point being, not everyone will judge you in the way you think they will.

Also, lots of new mums are judged from the moment they conceive anyway - too young, too old, too fat, too poor, too blah blah blah we’re always doing something wrong, etc in someone’s eyes. It comes with the territory. SOME people believe they’re entitled to judge mums no matter what- don’t take it personally, they’re just wankers who would find something else to focus on if it weren’t your age! ;)
