Hey everyone I'm 27 weeks pregnant, 21 years old, engaged to the love of my life and we're having our first baby. We found out it's definately a girl and I am soooo excited cause that is what I wanted since I can remember but I read all these online topics saying how someone is under 18 and pregnant and it makes me wonder if that is how my baby girl will end up. I would cry but love her no matter what, it just seems like something that happens to someone else and not you. I'm not saying it's a bad thing but it would be really hard for her and I want the best as everyone else does. Does anyone ever think about this kinda stuff? She's not even outta the womb and I'm thinking this wow. I'm such a worry wart and this is only one worry LOL. ↓

Wow, you already have those MOTHER instincts! That is great! I have two childrena and one on the way. I think that being amother is one of the most rewarding, and STRESSFUL jobs in your life~ I also read these forums with these young girls who are pregnant and it makes my skin crawl thinking about it! I worked in a hospital foso many years and I see these girl come through there and I just want to scream! In this day and age there is so much more going on out there. Girls are active much younger than they used to be. Well, at least it is more common to hear about it now. I also have a daughter who is 5 years old and I just PRAY to god that she isn't in that situation when she gets older. I think that you just have to be honest with your children and hope to god that you can be one of those parents that your child can come to and talk to you. BIRTH CONTROL!!!!! I think that alot of these girls are just not thinking all the way! I wish that for the girls that can't go to there parents, there should be a better place for them to go to and talk about this stuff. (NOT THERE FRIENDS) like the healthy dept. or something. A place to get the birth control that they need!
I could go on about this forever, but---back to the point......I think that for you, Just make sure that you raise your daughter to the best that you can, and always be there for her to talk to! There is only so much that us women as mothers can do for there children.
Good luck... :) ↑ |

| Thanks so much Sara I suppose ur right there isn't much you can do. I know my mother instincts are in full gear and way early LOL. I hope to be a cool mom but not so cool as to where she gets to do whatever she pleases and gets lead in the wrong direction. ↑ |

| im 18 years old and 25 weeks pregnant. i think about that kind of stuff too. im having a boy, but when people tell me that thats good that im having a boy, i agree all the way. i always say that im too young to have worries of having a little girl. i think it scares everyone. i have my head on straight and i go to college right now, but i cant speak for everyone. there are young girls out there that always say they want a baby and that theyre trying to get pregnant, but you learn from what you experience. i was bad when i was in my pre teen years and i think thats why im so mature now. i wouldnt recommend anyone to have a baby so young, its hard enough being pregnant at 18. 18 is when im supossed to get my life started and those young girls out there dont realize that their life hasnt even began to start yet. im happy that im pregnant but then again i own up to my responsibilities. you still have a few years to go until your daughter knows rights from wrongs but thats what raising a girl is like. its hard on some people but i think that if you live in a good community and you teach them their morals from day one then they will be ok. i think youll be a good mother and youll have way more joys then worries together. i wish you luck and hope everything goes well. ↑ |

| Sylvia...I am always told that to be a good mother, you have to be there to have fun with your children, but at the same time you have to give them rules! Don't stress about it now......You will have plenty of time to stress as they grow, right now we need to be there for them and play! :) ↑ |
