Young mums to be thread

[Winona1]

Hello - I wanted to make a thread for young mums to be. I'm 24 and 6+5 due July 😀

Hey hey, I'm 24 and 18 weeks - due end of April 👋🏼👋🏼

Hi! I'm 22 and currently 29+2 due in February with my first :)

Hi! I'm 22 and 25+3, due early March. First baby.

This is also my first! 💗

Welcome everyone 😀 was anyone else dreading telling friends their news through fear of being judged ? How did they take it ?

@winona1 I wasn't so much at a fear of being judged because of my age as 22 is quite an average age I guess where I live however my pregnancy was unplanned and had only been with my partner 7 months when we found out so was more worried about being judged for how quickly things happened but have had no negative reactions yet (not to my face anyway!)

@cw96 my mum tells me I'm ridiculous as 24 is average but I feel so young 😂

Hello! I'm 30+4 (due 25/01/19) with my first. I'm 19 but will be 20x

I don't feel too young but nobody judged despite it being a 'happy surprise' 😂. We have been together 8 years tomorrow so don't think people were too surprised (except his mum) 😂

Hi! Jumping on and watching this thread as 22 and ttc so hopefully not long until I'm a mum-to-be!

Hello! I'm 21 and 15+1 but I was 19 when I had my first. Didn't realise there were quite a few young'uns on here

Elusivebutterfly - also surprised by how many young'uns are on yer'!

Hi I’m 21 and due next week! A lot of my friends/family were very surprised as I’ve only just graduated from uni. I’m happy though. My partner and I have just moved in together and he’s just started a new job but money is so tight and will be for quite a while.

Feeling old now as I'm the oldest in the thread haha!!

Winona1- far from old! I'm guessing, like me, us young ones were just sitting quietly reading the late 30's/40-somethings posts until someone made one for us to relate too!

Hey! I'm also 24. Didn't think of myself as a young mum but I like it😂 I've been with dh 7 years and this baby is very planned and wanted after we had a mc earlier this year. I'm also a midwife if anyone has any questions😊 xxx

Yay we have a midwife in the thread @Bettyhop !!! 😆😆😆

Hey all, I was 19 when I fell pregnant with my DD (she’s 5 now) myself and my DP hadn’t been together long.

I experienced very minimal judging (maybe a bit from MIL who tried to make me out to be incapable but fuck her!)

Anyway, we now have a very happy, healthy, slightly crazy 5 YO and are 13+1 with our second baby after 2 consequtive losses.

I stopped caring what others thought. You do not need to rely on other people’s validation for your own happiness, you’ve just got to do what you need to do!

Hey, I'm 20, I'm currently 16+6 and will be 21 when baba is here:) no one seems to be judgey that I'm pregnant but a lot of girls my age were pregnant at 16-18 :)

I'm 19 and 24 weeks :) I'll be 20 when my little one is here though!❤️

i’m 20 and currently 22 weeks! i am still in university - this pregnancy was a surprise as i was on the pill at the time and very diligent with it!

we have had nothing but positivity from family and friends, but have had a couple of uncomfortable encounters with strangers. i think this is because i look years younger than i am - my previous landlord asked for me to show him proof of age before i signed the contract as he thought i was 14 although i was 19 at the time!

hope everyone is doing well and having enjoyable pregnancies💕

@jellybeann I was on the pill too but I missed one in the cycle so my own fault! However my Mum got pregnant with all 3 of her kids on the pill so may be a genetic thing?

Heya everyone, I hope you don't mind me joining? I'm 28 weeks and 1 day due in February with my first. I'm 22 nearly 23. Anyone else slightly petrified? 😂 x

@jellybeann

I was in my last year of uni and 20 when I fell pregnant! Have since graduated and I’m due to pop any moment. How have your uni friends/coursemates reacted??

22 and I'm 20+6, although I don't feel like a young mum? but there are a lot of teen pregnancies in my town!
