I'm 20 with two kids. My son is turing 3 next month and my daughter is 19 months (so they're 16 months apart) I was 17 when i had my son and had just turned 19 when i had my daughter. It is hard, but it's so worth it to me. I have my two beautiful babie who adore each other. I thought it wasn't fair to my son either, but i couldn't have an abortion.. i could never handle it. adoption was out through my family standards. I thought i wasn't going to be able to do it.finacally it is a struggle.. but i know it won't be forever.

just try and think everything through, look at every option, get assistance if you need it. no shame in needing help to get on your feet.

im turning 18 in september and im 39 weeks pregnant with my second child. It's scary at times because of financial reasons. My daughter is 3 and a half. Thats a reasonable age gap but it's still hard. I will get there.

It will all work out. Best of luck.

I had my daughter when i was 19, i got pregnant again when my daughter was 11 months old so i was also in the same situation as you. Luckily i had my family and husbands support to pull me through all the confusion. I gave birth to my son at 21 and now i have a beautiful two year old girl and my 8 month old son. They love each other so much and i can't imagine life without them.

I'm sure you can pull through this, find that support system and take care of yourself. Try not to stress so much, having children is a wonderful gift. I hope everything works out for you. :)
