Young and scared

[xoash729xxo]

Hi I'm new. I found this website on google one day and thought I would give it try. I'm sixteen and I'm pregnant. I'm due on April 15 and I don't have the support of my parents. My boyfriend and I are going to keep the baby, and we hope to get married soon. Right now I'm currently living with my boyfriend and his mom. She understands what I'm going through because she was only seventeen when she had my boyfriend. All of my old friends ditched me they didn't really like the idea of me being pregnant they thought like my parents that I should abort the baby, but I couldn't do that to my own child. Sometimes I'm not sure if I can make it through this I mean its a big adjustment and I know its not going to be easy, but I thought this website could help me a little because I can actually maybe talk to some girls who are going through the same problems as me, and some women who have already been through my problems. Well I'm Ashley and I hope we all can talk sometime. Please reply.

Hey Ashley, Im Hayley.

Im 18 & pregnant but fell pregnant for the first time at 15 (lost it to miscarriage) so im sure i can help you with any questions or concerns you have.

You are very brave & should be very proud that you have made the decision to keep your baby! Your doing a wonderfull thing =]
I remeber personally my mums response when i was pregnant at 15. She wasnt exactly thrilled but she eventually came around! Parents are weird.. sometimes they thry really hard to be supportive but cant see that their really not... I wouldnt let this get to you... trust me... they will come around!

In the meantime enjoy the next few months as much as you can! You'll be great!

Welcome to BnB and congratulations.
I was pregnant at 18 and also did it without my parents' support.I have to tell you that as soon as I had my baby girl they came around instantly and fell in love with her completely!

As long as you and your boyfriend are good and secure in your decision and willing to accpet responsibilities,have a roof over your head I can asure you you'll be just fine.

Everybody's probably shocked right now so give them time.

But congratulations and welcome to the forum

 

[Serene123]

Welcome & Congratulations.

I was just turned 18 when I fell pregnant and it was a BIG shock for everyone. Myself included. You will be just fine and a fabulous mummy. Eventually your parents should come around xx

 

[AppleBlossom]

Congrats and welcome! It definately isn't easy, I was 18 when I got pregnant but I think you've made the right decision to keep your baby. It's your decision and no one elses and if they choose not to support you then that's their loss

 

[Sarah_16x]

Your story is the exact same as mine! I was pregnant at 16 mum went mad, i moved out as i wasnt having an abortion and she was constantly trying to persuade me. So i moved in with OH and within 2months my mum came round as did my dad. I lost most of my friends but now i have made the most amazing friends, also with children so my children have friends to play with. The friends i lost were clearly not true friends so it doesnt bother me now. 2 years later me and OH are happier then we have ever been with a beautiful 2 year old and a beautiful newborn. My parents are also sooo proud and love them 2absolute bits. I think given time your parents will come round. If you and your OH are in a strong relationship you will be fine. It can be tough at times but it is all worth it. Im here to talk if you want

Hope yours turns out as good as mine did.

P.S At times i felt like i couldnt go on anymore and it wasnt going to get better, constantly argueing with mum and my sister, but i promise it does get easier. x

 

[xBumpandLaura]

I complete know how you feel, i'm 15 and pregnant, due a month and a day later than you! My mother doesn't agree, and although she's coming round to the idea, she's finding it difficult to cope. Unfortunately, i don't have the support of my OH, seen as he left me when he realised i wouldn't abort my child. Feel free to PM me anytime, and i hope you and your LO are doing just fine.

[pinkmac85]

Welcome Ashley! There are lots of young girls in your situation on here so I am positive you will find the support and love from others
You will be a fine mommy and I am so happy you made the decision to keep this lil bundle of joy! Consider yourself lucky that you have the support of your bf and his mom as some don't even have that to help them along the way! I am sure your parents will come around and all will be fine! They are probably just very shocked..give them a few weeks
welcome again

Hey hun. Congrats on the pregnancy. I know exactly what you are going through. I was sixteen when I got pregnant and had my son. He was born on April 12 of this year. He'll be seven months in two days. About a month after I got pregnant I moved in with my boyfriend. I was having trouble with my mom, although it was not because of my baby. However, my grandma, whom I am very close with threatened to take me straight to a clinic when she found out. Eventually she came around tho, and now she just loves Aiden. She even babysits him twice a week while I go to school. Just like you I knew that I couldn't have an abortion. And no one was going to change my mind. I also lost quite a few friends. Even now none of my girlfriends want to hang out with me because they think that it'll we be too much work for me to go with them somewhere. However, I have made other friends who know all about my son and know that I can still hang out and they would rather have me bring my son anyways. lol. Anyways, to sum everything up, I know you can make it. I did, I've made it seven months so far and it's the best thing I ever could have done. Everything will work out. Sometimes it takes a while, but eventually it happens. Good luck with everything. Feel free to talk to me anytime!
