I am closing in on 25 weeks and am sooo excited for my little girl. It wasn't easy getting here especially because of my young age. I turned 14 in march. The hardest decision i made was to keep my baby, some people may think I'm selfish but I know that this was the only decision i could have made. I am due on August 21st. When are you due? ↓

I have to admit, it does make me a bit sad to see such a young lady having a baby. However, I would never think you are selfish, but completely the opposite......very strong and brave and loving. You sound mature and I hope that you have a great support system around you.
I think my biggest concern for you and your baby is supporting your baby.
I'm currently just over 10 weeks along with my 3rd baby and it has always been a concern about raising a daughter who physically could have a baby at 13 or 14. Do you mind if I ask.....are you very close with your mom or what made you want to have sex, especially unprotected sex at such a young age and is there anything that possibly could have been said or done in your family life to make you want to wait? I only ask because you will be speaking from experience and I think it will be of great value to all those with little girls.
I would never disown my daughter if she did get pregnant but if I could say or do the right thing to get her to wait, that would be priceless.
and if I'm prying where I shouldn't be, then please don't feel you have to answer. I wish you all the best with your new baby.
I'm due Nov 28th ↑ |

| I am extremely close with my mom. I am in love with my boyfriend, we used a condom but it broke. But then i got a short period, and I figured I was fine. Then i started getting a little rounder around the middle and i bought a pregnancy test and it turned bright blue. i brought it to my mom, who was extremely shocked. And she said" we'll get through this Anna, we'll get through this" ↑ |

support is half the baddle. I was a mom when I was 16, and it was very hard, but I always put my baby first no matter what, and I finished school, so that i could provide a good life for him. my aunt watched him while i was at school, and i also had the support of my family. High school and college were not always "fun" but the allowed me to make a good gome for me and my son. My little boy is 11 now and I am an adult.
Having been there if there is any advise I can give you is to be sure you take the needed measures to not let this happen again. Taking care of one baby is hard, but having more then one is way worse. You can still accomplish all of your dreams and goals, you will jsut have to change the path you take to get there.
best wishes to you ↑ |

| NO! You're not selfish. Keeping your baby is such a wonderful thing. I hope you have family support? Or support from the dad? I was adopted at birth and I wish to God my mother had kept me so I think what you're doing is wonderful! Good for you! ↑ |

| I do have support, my mother is behind me 100% and my own father hasn't talked me since i told him i was pregnant. The father lives very far away and is currently completing his senior high school year, and in September its off to college. ↑ |

| I'm so happy to hear that you are close with your mom and she supports you completely. I have a feeling your dad will come around. ↑ |

| I am due on November 19th and my 12th week starts tomorrow. I just turned 17 in January. My mother wont even talk to me she is so upset..but i don't really know why considering the fact that she had an abortion at age 13 and her first child at 16...and my sister also has three children and her first one came at age 17..but yea..Nobody has told my grandmother yet though..im a little nervous about that because i know she will find out very soon because its spreading through my family like a rumor in high school...lol.. ↑ |

| your Mom will come around. And my grandmother was actually excited to be getting a great-grandchild, although saddened that i would be the one giving it to her. ↑ |
