Mother-to-be, do you think it's wrong?

When I was 25 and pregnant with my first child, I took a trip to New Orleans and walked around at about 7 months along, swollen feet and all. Thinking to myself, this will be the last time in my entire life I will be alone and worrying about only me. It was a very overwhelming feeling that from 8 weeks later I was responsible for another life, their every need and care for more years than you have been alive. I would have to earn the money to feed, diaper, clothe, educate, keep healthy, and happy.

It’s a huge responsibility, and will pray you are up to the task once the baby arrives. So much happens in a young girls life between 15 and 21, but others have done it and hopefully the Dad will still be around and supportive financially and emotionally. Get your support network in place so you can continue your education, and good luck to you and your new family.

wow!! its a lot to handle at such a young age as you are only a kid yourself, but you chose to act like an adult and have sex, so I must congratulate you on acting like an adult now and keeping your baby!! whats done is done and we cant turn back time, so you should be proud of yourself for being positive! it would be more of a sin to have had an abortion. I lost my virginity when I was very young, but I was lucky to not have fallen pregnant til I was 21. I was just as scared as you are now, but with love support and understanding from the people closest to you you will get through it! I just pray the daddy is as responsible as u! dont get married just for your baby, only do that if you truly love one another!!! being a mommy is the best thing in the world. there will be days you will regret itr when all your friends are out having fun with no worries like a baby, but thats when you just have to remind your self that you made the decision to be an adult at a young age. so close your ears to all the judgemental people out there, and only keep people that are positive near u! your baby and you will need it! never forget that now you will have some one else to take care of, and its not about you anymore, its about your precious baby! im not saying dont have a life, but when it comes to the well being of your child, its THEM FIRST!!! your mother nature instincts will kick in the moment you hold your baby, and no one else will ever be able to tell you how to do it better, so trust your instincts! never doubt yourself, your baby needs you!!!

good luck mommy!!! keep your chin up!!! enjoy every moment!!! and remember to be HAPPY!!!

You don’t say how far along you are. My suggestion is that in the next few months, before the baby is born, you do some research and find out the names of all the agencies and organizations that exist in your community to help young mothers and what services they offer.

It is going to be difficult for you but it is doable.

There will be a few big repercussions for having a baby so young, but the good outweighs the bad. What you will get from being a parent can be a wonderful gift. I hope you enjoy every minute of it.

It’s great and you are keeping the baby.It’s what you want so why are you asking people on here if it’s a good idea?It’s what you want to do so who cares what other people think! : )

I agree as it is your responsibility and glad to hear that you are keeping it. ;) I don’t think there is anything wrong with it at all.

Good Luck!

WOW I apploud you! thats great! I mean yes your young but you seem like you know its going to be hard and everything.. my cousin had her son at 14 and finished high school on time and went to college so you can do it!!! GOOD LUCK

so when did you start becoming responsible? after you became pregnant, obviously. you say the baby is your responsibility, you better hope you have loving and giving parents on at least one side because you are still going to and need to act like a kid for a little while longer, or else you might feel like you missed out on your youth, because honey with a baby it doesn’t get any easier!

I don’t think it’s wrong at all. You are deffinatly mature and it seem as if though you can handle having a child. Good Luck!!!

No, I don’t think it is wrong. There are lots of mothers that have had kids at a young age and they do just fine. good luck :)
