Pregnant at 19...x

[shortiecjx]

Hey all... Im 19. Im 11 weeks pregnant with my first child and am already sick of hearing peoples opinions at work about teen mums...

They all seem to think that if you are a teen and pregnant you are going to be a rubbish mum!!!

They tell me that im a kid having a kid.. Im 19 not 10!!! Atm i hate going to work. Wish people shared my excitement..

Dont really talk about being pregnant at home.. People seem to change the subject really quick..

My boyfriend is being amazing though and ive got my 1st scan in a week so im trying not to let things get me down (easier said then done!!)..

Cant wait to be a mum !! x

Hi hun

A couple of my friends in grade school had moms that were 19 when they had them, and honestly we never knew the difference! They did everything they were supposed to do just like all the other moms.

I'm surprised they're giving you such a hard time, you're an adult.

:wave: Welcome to BnB!


I'm 19 with a 5 month old and honestly, I don't even see myself as a teen since I became a parent.I mean, I know my age and I'm proud of it but 'teen' is an expression not linked to my life anymore and definitely NOT a kid!
I know it's young but you're a legal adult.

Anyway, I'm in every way a normal, grown up mom, I do everything. Yes, I have an education to finish but so do people older than me.

You're lucky to have your boyfriend as a support and don't worry about other people. They'll always have an opinion
Enjoy your scan!

Aw don't let them get to you, your an adult and have every right to have a baby if you want. I'm 19 with a 5 and a half month old. If you think about it 50 years ago or so (which is not that long in the course of history), women were going off to college just to find husbands and settle down. Some just skipped that and married their high school sweet heart and started having kids. It used to be normal to have kids by this age. If your happy then that's all that matters, who cars what others think.

Tell them to go skip. I think it wouldnt hurt if you just got everybody in a room at the end of the day and told them your mind. You don't need to stoop down to your level and be rude, just say that you are very happy with your pregnancy and that their opinions aren't wanted. You're an adult. The law regards you as mature enough to vote and help decide who should run the country, so you aren't a kid. Tell them that they should be ashamed of themselves, stressing a young pregnant woman out instead of supporting and encouraging you to be a good mum, not branding you a failure before you've even begun. If that's the attitude they have, God help their own children.

Hun it is sad that we live in a wold where peole are so narrow minded but put these unimportant people aside and concentrate on what you believe is right.
My mum had my brother at 14 & my god is she is a fantasic mother. Its all about the individual & people labelling you because you are young is wrong.

All the best sweetie xx

First of all congratulations! You will never regret having a baby that you want!

And do you know what? I don't care what them people think about teenage mums. Now my little girl is here, peoples opinions of me don't matter. I know I'm the best mother for my little girl, and that she's very happy, thriving, and soooo clever! I don't expect to change the opinions people have of teen mums, but I can prove I don't fit the pre-conception.

Good luck, enjoy it, and don't listen to them!

hey am 17 and 30 weeks gone. when i worked some people told my i was stupid but i just didnt listen to them. xXx

 

[hayley x]

Im 19 and 34 weeks pregnant!! I LOVE knowing Im having my own baby and really really cant wait to meet him. Once people see how happy you are I think they take to it differently. Just ignore them and think that soon your going to have your own precious baby and you wont care what anyone else thinks as long as you and your baby are happy and healthy then who cares!! xx

 

[KJunkie]

Hiya! I am 19 as well. This is actually my second pregnancy; but will be my first baby. Just ignore all of their opinions. No one knows you better than yourself. I am glad that your boyfriend is being so great and that things are going well with your pregnancy. Just be happy about your future; don't let others put you down. Good luck!

Completely agree!
Most of the time I forget Im a 'teen mum'.I dont really see nineteen as a teen anyway because it is technically an adult.

I was 18 when i had my son and did get loads of unwanted comments about parenting skills but this was mostly from older ladies 40+ who are from a different generation so i just ignored them. I'm sure you will be a fantastic mum don't let other peoples narrow minded comments get you down.

 

[Katielaura]

19 with 2 kids people will support u and the people that dont ignore um they dont matter

 

[Deef]

I was married 1 month after my 19th birthday........ask me if I regret getting married or my son who I gave birth to when I was 17......the divorce papers should answer that question!!!!!!!!!

Congratulations and take everything other people say with a pinch of salt, theres always someone who wants to moan, Im nearly thirty and my current fiance and I are considering having one more lil addition to the family........by the time we get round to it people will be lookin at me as an old mum!!!!

 

[Novbaby08]

I was 19 when I got pregnant with my daughter. Theres nothing wrong with being a young mom. I'm doing just fine, and so will you

 

[aidensxmomma]

I'm 17 and pregnant with my second. I'm happy about having my son and the other little one on the way. I go though a lot of the same thing as you with the unwanted comments, but I have just tried to let it go. Half the people I know now, I won't see after I move away, so I don't care what they say. Age really makes no difference in how good of a mom you are. Just hold your head high, and enjoy your pregnancy.

I'm 19 with an 8 month old. If people don't like it, I say screw em. There are plenty of young mums who are 1000 times better at looking after their kids than women in their 30's. Just ignore them. Also technically you aren't a teen mum, teen mums are aged between 13-17. You're a young mum (I learnt this the other day) just throw that at them. Good luck with your scan
