Advice for single young mums!

[Hlce24]

I’m 20 years old and am 32 weeks pregnant. Just looking for a bit of advice and perhaps some support from people a similar age and stage in pregnancy! Thank you x

I’m really old and I’m 21 weeks pregnant but I just want to wish you the best.

My advice is if there’s an older looking woman at an antenatal group or similar please chat to her as she’s probably feeling the same as you!

Being a young dm most certainly doesn't mean you won't be great at it! I had a dd at 17 - no regrets.. Do not listen to negative comments and do not make apologies to anyone about your circumstances..
Congratulations on your new adventure op!!

@ahorsecalledseptember thank you. I hope you’re pregnancy is going well! X

@Feralkidsatthecampsite Unfortunately things haven’t turned out the way I had originally thought they would with me and my baby’s dad. He’s off to prison.... Us women are always left with the stress hahaha! Not ideal, just so excited for when he’s here. Thank you!

Hello OP, I had a son at 15 years old. He's now a strapping young man and I did a fabulous job if I do say so myself. His dad wasn't around at first but he now sees him regularly and they have a good relationship.

I was 23 when I had DS and his dad left me before he was born so I completely understand your worry but it's not going to be as bad as you think!
I always think it must be harder for women when they end up single mothers after children are born because that is a big change but you won't know any different cos you have done it on your own from day one. You will find your own way of doing things and your own routine.

Enjoy the rest of your pregnancy and your DS when he is here, I'm sure you will be a wonderful mother
