Teen Moms: How did you parents react?

I fell pregnant first at 17. I was stupid to think that I was ready and mature enough to have a baby so my bf and I at the time planned for a baby and I fell pregnant. I told my mum and she just chucked a big spit! She said that if I didn't get an abortion I wouldn't be her daughter and that she wouldn't love me and all this hurtful stuff, so for her I decided it was best that I have an abortion.

She was disappointed as she had a baby at 15 and then my older sister fell pregnant at 16 and then me 17 at the time, so it was something that seemed to be running in the family.

Anyway I left that boy who began bashing me and did bot keep the baby.

I married when I was 19, and fell pregnant when I was 20 and had the baby at 21. My family could say nothing as I was married and I was going to keep my little man whether he was born with problems or not. In my 19th week scan problems were found and my family just showed no support for me because they saw me as being selfish for keeping a baby that would be born with potentially more problems then already found.

My future is my husband and son. At least I have and know that I have people sticking by me which is the man that I married and the son that I gave birth too.

I put my study course on hold but can get my certificate any time as I did complete the courses. 19 isn't young in my age. Here in my country 18 is an adult so if your 19, it's your right, your decision, welcome to adult hood....

and i've learned that being pregnant isn't about impressing your parents or to see their reaction, it's about gaining their support....

all the best///

i got pregnant at 18, im now 19 and 15w5d pregnant today. and yes me and my bf planned this because we both really want to be young parents, we both had jobs (i say had because i worked by taking care of my gpa and he passed away), and we have the mental capacity to take on roles as parents. i don't have much of a relationship with my father, and my mom kicked me out of her house when i was 14, so it's not like telling her was a concern of mine. my life was WAY different than most of the girls my age when i was growing up. not to sound concieted, but i am really mature for my age and i'm proud to say it : ) since my mom works at a college, my tuition is free. im almost a CNA!! i've been in college since i was 16. im not the average pregnant teen i guess cause i'm actually ready to have this child. we're moving into a bigger place on memorial weekend to make room for our baby! im scared, but what new expecting mother isn't? my future looks great to me! i know a lady who babysat me my entire life and shes sooooo much cheaper than daycare, so finding someone to watch my child during the day isn't a concern either. you just have to make the best of what you have. it's working out great for me and my boyfriend : ))) the only thing thats going to be hard right now is the fact that since i'm pregnant, NO ONE WILL HIRE ME! i live in Rockford, Illinois, which is one of the worst places to live due to crime and of course unemployment. but we can make it on my boyfriends income still, even with a baby on the way. it's just going to be a little more tight.

I found out i was prego's when i was 17, almost 18. I had known my BF for a year, but, we had only been "officially" been dating for one month. Well i found out i was prego, fresh out of HS, no ones fault but my own. I told my mother && my (step) dad, they flipped off the handle. Everyone in my family pushed for an abortion.

My step dad && mom said i would be a welfare mom, I am not.

They said i wouldn't accomplish my dreams, I am about to graduate college.

They said my BF && i would never make it, we are going on five years.

They said i'd be throwing my life away, I am very happy, love my little family && don't regret my decision to keep my baby girl. I still hang out with my friends, hit up an occasional party, the only difference is i have a life in my hands so have to make sure i can provide and deliver the very best for her.

Parents tend to react instead of think, When we go to them we are asking for help not for the lectures on "How could you be so stupid?" or "Why? I dont understand" we already know we ****** up. From experience i would tell you to follow your brain, it will lead you on the smart path, your heart can sometimes lead to disaster. I obviously didn't abort my baby girl, in the end, the day of my appointment i just couldn't go through with it. It felt wrong to me, I didn't listen to my BF (who Absolutely wanted the baby) I didn't listen to my friends, or to my parents. I listened to my head and my choice was there. I can say it is hard, but it isn't as hard as people make it out to be. Financially it is harder than a typical spend all your money teens life, but i still am able to completely provide for my family. Just go through all you options, think of the future and go from there. My step dad loves my daughter, my mother does as well but, she is extremly bitter and hates my bf so we dont talk much. Just know there is no age limit on when someone can or cant be a (good) parent. G'luck

i do no longer care what that trishay lady says, I recommend once you're 13 thats a lil too youthful, yet the two way, once you're to blame and decide for to shield the new child thats sturdy adequate, ofcourse your mum and dad will come around to help. before everything they're going to maximum in all probability bypass off and be disapointed yet then they're going to come around by way of fact they're going to def love their grandchild...I wager ya!lol Many ofmy acquaintances are teenager mothers,I'm19. I actual have some 19 12 months previous acquaintances that merely had infants and ones approximately to next wk, I actual have a younegr chum age sixteen, while she replaced into 14 she have been given pregnant,yet wager what - her mum and dad are their via her area each and each of how via! issues will come out super hun! Goodluck! i understand its a huge hump to come again over an tell ur mum and dad... it would be extra handy for me to tell my mom-yet damn i'm going to be soooo scared to tell my dad, by way of fact while he gets mad he gets reallllllly mad lol...yet quickly he'd recover from it...with any luck lol. as quickly as the granchild is born, the grandparents give up bitchn-- as I observe it quite is hardship-loose. in easy terms not often I pay attention they do no longer decide for something to do with their daughter until the infant is born. perhaps it's going to take them a month to get out of their gadget. nicely I want u god success hun!!you're able to do it!! might no longer be user-friendly, however the faster u announce it the extra useful it extremely is going to be! u do no longer wantto be under pressure.
