I'm 19, 6 months pregnant. I don't know how I'm going to raise my boy on my own. I'm so scared of messing up his life through incompetent parenting. Please, offer me some comfort. I desperately need it.

If you love your son and consistantly put his needs above your wants he'll be o.k. Being a parent is a scary thing -- Any time we are faced with a HUGE responsibilty is a little scary. But if you want to parent your son and you do it from the heart you'll be fine. If you do not want to parent then now is a good time to consider adoption. There are many people out there who would love the opportunity to parent and cannot do so biologically and are willing to have a very open relationship with the birth family. But if adoption is not for you then just remember to love your son and be the best mom you can be. Take parenting classes, join a mom's group for companionship and advice, read "how to" books to better you parenting skills or whatever else it takes but make sure when it's all said and done that you are the mom he is proud to have. That you are concerned now is proof that you want what is best for you son -- you can do it, just remember patience, love, respect, and faith and you'll be fine.

Hi I'm 23 years old I had my son when I was 18 years old. And I was alone. I was scared to death. It's hard. But I know if I can do it anyone can do it. No matter what that baby will think your the best thing ever. Mine does. I'm sure everything will be fine. I'm pregnant with my second baby and the daddy of this one is nowhere around and I know things will be fine as long as I believe in myself. Hun just believe in your self and everything will be ok. Much love

I was 16 when I had my son. The father left when I was pregant and I raised him alone (with the help of my family). My son is now 18 and a wonderful young man. As Sarah said "believe in yourself".
