Just a Question *no drama pleas*

[the_baby]

I was just woundering how many Teen moms/or moms to be were trying to get pregnant?

This one is interesting, I wanted a baby from when I was 16, all because I was a maternal type, I'm glad I waited in the end but I would never judge any young mums, infact I praise them for doing so well

 

[Serene123]

I wasn't

 

[Ellianna]

Not me!
I was on the pill from when I started sleeping with my OH James when I was about 15 and it was always fine until I wasn't very well and was taking other medication which my wonderful doctor neglected to tell me would interfere with my pill. Then when I did find out I was pregnant I had big doubts about whether I was going to keep the baby or not and thought a lot about not having it but in the end I made what I think (and hope) was the right decision.
I wouldn't ever judge anyone who did TTC as a teen, at the end of the day it's not my buisness but I personally would never have planned to have a baby at this age because there were lots of things I wanted to do and as much as I know nothing is impossible, I am realistic and I do realise things are going to prehaps take longer and be that bit harder. I'd also have liked to have been more financially stable before I started a family. But you can't plan everything and I'm sure it will be worth it in the end!

I was using two types of contraception. My baby was meant to be. My friends 19 and 10 weeks pregnant. She was trying

I wasn't trying, but I've always wanted a baby (obviously not right now but in the future). But I think people who want to be a young Mum should be if they can support their child etc. It's their choice and they shouldn't be judged neither should the people who accidently get pregnant and chose to keep their baby.

im 17 and ttc

 

[socophoenix]

im 17 , will be 18 n july, and TTC with my 20y/o BF. we've been together four years and always knew we would have children. when i fell preggers a year ago and miscarried, it made us realize how much we wanted a LO of our own. so here we are 3 months TTC and nothing yet, but we're keeping our fingers crossed.
we dont live together yet bc we're waiting til i graduate. but we both work stably and i dont think we should be judged more than someone older TTC.
ive always been maternal tho, and he has one son from an ex he met b4 me whom he just lost custody of, so we're trying more than ever to have a little one of our own!
im suprised he let me off my back long enuf to type this, lol!!!

Im 22 and my OH is 19 we had a miscarriage in Sept we werent trying then he decided that he wanted one so we starting ttc'ing then I changed my mind about it and then it happened lol we are happy about it. I have tons of friends that are younger w/children Im not sure if any were trying but I think most of it just happened but I look up to teen moms that take care of their children on there own or even with help from their parents they took the responsibility Im proud of you girls. Im just nervous about my own LOL

 

[xarlenex]

I wasn't trying..I didnt wanna go on the pill as an aunt has major problems ttc because of years on the pill and I knew I wanted a big family at one point, so was relying on condoms.

 

[ablaze]

i wasnt trying at 17 for my 1st, but was trying for my 2nd at 18

 

[anita665]

I really wanted a baby when I was about 16 but also am very glad I didn't looking back because I've changed up so much since then and been through many relationships.

I remember one of my friends got pregnant after TTC at 16, by sleeping with random men. Myself and my best friend thought she was really lucky and had a great life because she had this cute little baby, she didn't have to work or go to college and she had what seemed to us like loads of money in benefits. In fact she managed to buy 3 brand new pushchairs. Looking back again though we are the ones who are in better possitions now. That isn't aimed at teen mums, thats just what I remember.

 

[the_baby]

Wow...well then I wount be so shy, Im 17 and TTC. I have been trying ever since last year. I got pregnant four months ago and lost her. I love this place...i have gone to a few other sites and other people don't like you as soon as you say TTC. I hope to meet toher TTC teens my age to talk to!

Thanks Megan

HI the_baby! im sure u read my post a while back. you kno i totally agree, and im falling in love with the UK. so many other US based sites jump on u and curse and call u stupid and other names when ur under 19 and TTC. its horrible really! but i love it here bcuz i kno i am capable of having and supporting a baby. im not 100% reliant on my BF in case things dont work out, bcuz nothing lasts forever. and i kno that if left single, i would still be ok.
i lost my baby last year, august, i had just turnned 17 and was 12weeks past. it was so unplanned and we panicked wen i fell preggers but when we lost it we both were sooooo devastated....
so we started planning and get things in order to welcome a little one of our own! hopefully ill b introducing a BFP on here soon!

 

[xJedeanex]

[jenny873]

[mommy2raven]

[Leannex]

i deffo wasnt trying
been on pill 3half years n boyfriend used protection yet i still got pregnant, just my luck really lol.

 

[Lara18]

I got pregnant at 17 after the first time sleeping with my current BF of a year, but miscarried at about 4 weeks. I was on the pill.
This time I had'nt been well and was'nt taking the pill properly because of being sick and antibiotics interferring. So when I said to OH that I was late, he replied that he was hardly surprised, then BFP confirmed it , I was over the moon. Im 18, OH is 19. Baby will be born 2 months before my 19th and OH's 20th birthday xxxxxxxxxxx

I'm 19 (18 when we concieved) and I wasn't planning on getting pregnant when I did... I was on the pill, but a tummy bug stopped that working - despite being advised by my GP that I had very low chances of being fertile after suffering from Pelvic Inflammatory Disease!!

I think it's important that teans who TTC are well-informed of what they are taking on, so that they can be sure that they are ready - but that is true of any person thinking of taking on such a huge responsibility -regardless of their age.

Ending the pregnancy was never a consideration, as my personal view is that a baby is a baby whether it's been born or not... so I have a lot of respect for all young mum's who take on the consequences of their actions and do their best to take on the terrifying task of being 'mummy' - whether they planned on getting pregnant or not.
