I know what you mean! I'm 17 with a 5 month old, I was 16 my whole pregnancy and when he was born. I always felt the same way and looked online for people to talk to witch really helped. If you want someone to talk to you can certainly message me! xx

you will go through all the emotions known to man. it is normal, and you are not alone in thinking/feeling 'anything' related to you, your pregnancy or anything in your life for that matter. 3 days after baby is born you will cry over burning your yorkshire puddings..lol (it was christmas day and it was my only responsibility for christmas dinner.).
you could do with letting people in though. a good support network is vital for any parent.
just think of all those precious moments of watching your little one grow and learn when you are feeling down, ask your mom what you used to be like as a toddler for example...there are many, many funny and amazing times ahead...and these always outweigh the rough times by far. you will do great i'm sure!

I'm ninteen and pregnant and I feel exactly the same way sometimes. It's like you don't want to tell anybody how your really feeling because you don't want them to think you can't handle it. I don't live in a small town but I Have lost connection with most of my old friends because I can't relate with them anymore and I get how alone you feel. It's all really scary to think about but it always eases me to think about the baby and that connection that me and the child will have and how blessed I am to be able to have a baby! Don't let yourself get down and maybe connect with an old friend or talk to someone in your family, you'd be surprised how understanding and willing they are to help you out! I feel alone a lot even though I have an amazing boyfriend so if you ever want to talk message me!

Sometimes you need to find someone to talk to someone you trust even just just one person. It's perfectly normal to be scared about becoming a first time mum and now more than ever if important you have someone you can turn to. I know you don't want people to worry but is important not just for you but you're baby you need to be able to take care of yourself as well as your baby. I know how hard it can be to talk to someone about personal stuff. I was never good at it. But i've had to learn to find someone. My dad's someone I can trust and talk to. Your family may worry but that's even more of a reason to talk to them. Anyone who genuinly worries about you is the best person to help you cope emotionally. If you need to talk you can message me if you want.
