: I have just turned 16, and found out that I am 3 months pregnant. I was so shocked- I didnt expect it at all. I have only had sex 2 times in my life (with the same guy) and I just want to know what other mothers think of it...
: Will it be wrong to have the baby, is it as hard as they say it is? I think I could cope, and I am excited too. My parents dont yet know, how can I tell them with- out them killing me?
: The father will definalety NOT be there. I have an older brother who is 21, he says I can live with him, If my parents dont want me at home anymore with a baby.
: I feel sorry for all these woman who spend years trying for a baby, and end up with nothing. And a slut like me doesnt even know shes pregnant until her 10th week...
: Please give me some advice of what you think is right.
I am 16 and I have a 4 months old daughter. Having her was the most wonderful but most painful thing that I have ever went through, but it was well worth it. Being a teenage mother is difficult but I really dont think it is a difficult as alot of people say, those people just dont want the responsibility of a child. What makes being a teenage parent hard is going to school then coming home and doing homework and taking care of a baby at the same time, but I am getting through it...so far this year I have had straight A's (better grades then I made before I got pregnant).
Being a mothers changes your prespective on all things, in which for me odviously school was one of them because I know that to be able to raise my daughter I have to have a education and in order to get a good job I have to have a good high school history to get into college.
I love being a mom! I wake up every morning to her laying beside me smiling and that makes my days so much better, she is the light and happiness of my life and I wouldnt change any of it for the world. You can raise a child if you put your mind to it. I am not on any government help what so ever, I pay for a insurance plan on her every month, I have bills to pay every month, food formula and diapers every week to buy and on top of that when she was born we didnt have an insurance plan taken out on her and so we pay on her hospital bill every month also but yet we are still making it and doing just fine. Just remeber being a mother is the most rewarding job you will ever have but only if you let it be!!!
