i was 17 when i was pregnant and turned 18 about 4 weeks before he was due. But i can tell you know its the best thing that has ever happened to me, even though it get lonley sometimes i still appreciate being a mum. My son is now 6 months excatly today and he is nearly crawling i think its amazing how you can watch them grow and teach themselves new things everyday. when my son was 4 months i was always tierd but when tehy get a bit older you can find you can go out longer. i find if i go out in the morning for a walk or something i fell refreashed and it keeps me going for the day.

if you wanna talk tinkerbell_rox_678@hotmail.com

Im 18, will be 19 in October, my baby is just over 9 weeks. She was born 3 weeks 5 days early by emergency c section. I absolutely love being a mom. She smiles so much and has started making little cooing noises and little humming noises. She is so cute, and sleeps like an angel. I usually sleep when she sleeps if Im feeling tired so I dont really feel any different to what I used to feel.

i was 17 when i fell pregnant (planned pregnancy) and two months off my 18th when i had my son...although the midvives put me down about my age my baby was the only one that didnt cry due to me knowing what he wanted instinctively i must say it was a little funny watching the thirty year olds walk up and down the maternity ward with there crying babies when i was apparently too "young" to get my maternal instincts...i love my son with all my heart and i knew i was ready to be a mum he has such great character about him and can make anyone smile he is now 17 months old and now at age nineteen ill be having my second in december five months before my twentieth...im proud to be a teenage mum and i dont think any of us "young" mums would regret having our beautiful babies...

Hey,

I was 16 when i got pregnant, 17 when i had my daughter, i am now 19 and she has just turned 2.

I am a single mum, The 'father' left when i told him i was pregnant, hasn'd had anything to do with her since.

It is a tiring job being a mum, or a parent for that matter, but it is one of the best things ever! Sometimes i think i wish i had sorted myself out first before kids, but i can't imagine life without her, i love her.

I lost a lot of friends, but hey, they can't of been true friends anyways.

If you wanna chat my email is tiffany_lol_chika_babe@hotmail.com, just send an email.

Keep up the good job.

i fell pregnant with my son unxcpectly when i was 17 aswell and turnd 18 3 months b4 he was born.

Iam loving the new life as a mummy. still adujsting to it as im a recently new mum. My son is almost 6 weeks :) i couldnt do it without the help from my partner tho. so exchusting running around 24/7 but at the end of the day its all worth it. Iam really looking forward to when my son is a older so we can actualy do things like go paly at the park etc bt thing that i hate is now that im a mom my mates think i cant do anything now that i have all this resposibility, so they dont bother keeping in contact it sucks but i dont really cear would way rather be with my son then out getting wasted. drinkings overrated anyways lol

I'm 19 now my daughter is 1. I had her when I was 18. It's always going to be tiring. We just have to remember that our children are our lives and they depend on us. No matter how tired we are we have to do what has to be done. Keep up with being great mothers!!! we're all doing a great job!

Im almost 20 now!! But i can remeber being 18 tellin my mom i havent got my period. She was like thats ok things like that happen your on the pill remember!! I said yes but this is the four pill(my cycle nvr was rite i was constintly menstrating)!! So 3months b4 my 19th birthday my mother and i sat down to take the prego test! i walked into m mothers room laid the stick on her dresser she said how long is it suppose 2 take i said 5mins......then i was like but its already there!!! She was like wht is it suppose 2 disappear? haha...nah mom lol but then she was like lets go for a ride....we talk she wanted me 2 get abortion!! i was like no mom i could nvr d tht!! She was like well then what r u goin 2 do??? i was like i dnt know but definitly not that!!! Then i told my father he was well really cool about it!! He was like awsome wouldnt mind being a grandpop! My parents are divoced so the next thing was my mom told my stepdad.......and i thought he'd react the worset but, what do you know he loved the idea have the baby too. So i was due may 29th but went into labor 5wks early had to have a c setion, my daughter was frank breech....had know idea the sex of my baby wanted it to be a suprise!!!! I had not been to the birthing classes either so wasnt sure excatly how a c section work.....so had my daughter she was 4lbs 1oz 19in!!! Today she is 4months and a 1wk old rolls over, giggles, smiles and trys to sit alone and pull herself up when holding my hands.
My boyfriend and i talked bout have kids one day but not this early seeing as he just turned 18 yestarday and graduates highschool this year but we were both excited......but when she came boy was he so nervous!! N still is!!!

We both love her but wish we had the qulity time like we use to just me and him!! All my parents love her. And there isnt a thing id change bout her!!! Its tuff being a young mom but so worth it!!!

Hi, i was 17 when i got caught, it was a massiv eshock, but i can say i love my 5 week old baby girl more than life itself! .... i wouldnt change her, and i cant imagine my life without her! .... shes the most perfect little thing ever, she looks at me, and follows your face & voice around the room, she's beginning to smile, and makes all sorts of funny sounds when you talk/sing to her, its mad the things they learn in 5 weeks i cant wait to spend all of my time encouraging her more & more to learn new things! ... But yes agree with the tiredness! x

I was 16 when i got pregnant, was 17 when my son was born and moved out of my moms house at 18. A crazy three years. but my son is now going on two at the end of march. the whole single mommy getting no help from daddy is getting irritating but i love my little boy so much i'm not sure i'd be able to share my son with him anyways.

I had just turned 16 when I got pregnant. I love it. I am 18 now and my son is almost a year and a half. =] I am also pregnant again. My husband and I couldn't wait to have another. It is the greatest experience ever. Cherish every moment when they are newborn. Just take the time to lay there with them. You can't get those moments back. It is very hard for me to remember him being so tiny.=/

Hope all is going well with your motherhood.

i definitely thought it was gonna be harder than it actually is. i spend every minute with my daughter. my mom and sister have to kidnap her just to spend some time with her. the feedings are kinda hard especially so early in the morning. but i wouldnt trade this is in for anything. i didnt know i would love my daughter so much right away but im already wrapped around her finger.

I was 16 when I got pregnant and i had her 2 months before i turned 17.. i was scared at first, i didnt how i was going to finish HS and work && take care of a baby.. But i realized when people see how hard i was working they wanted to help me. Being a young mother can be fun b/c ur still young urself.. i dont regret my baby for anything. i wished i woulda waited.. but life is life.. remember but ur baby first, and when u get tired && frusterated, as long u do everything u can to take care of ur baby ppl will help u out..

I was 16 when I got pregnant, 17 when my son was born and he's one now and I'm 18. It was a struggle, but I made it through school and graduated. I love my little guy dearly and wouldn't trade him for ANYTHING in the world! I really wanna go back to school though, I just worry about it taking away from him. He's so used to having me there when he needs me all the time, ya know?

I love being a mom. It has it's times.

My daughter is 7 months and you just wait it gets so much fun when she descovered her voice it was the so funny.

One piece of advice i can give you is they tell you to wake them up every 2 hours to eat. DON"T they will get up when they want to. It helps them start to sleep better.

I was 17 when I became pregnant and 18 when I gave birth. My baby boy is 5 weeks old and I love being a mommy! I don't get more than 3 hours of sleep at a time, even throughout the night, since he gets very hungry but it's totally worth it.

I love being a mom! Although it was not my first choice to have my children soo young. I got Pregnant with my First Breeanna (just turned 2) When I was 16. She was born only 2 hours after my 17th birthday at 2 am in the morning by emergency csection. Only 3 months later I got pregnant with my son I had him September 11th of last year after my 18th birthday by csection. I am now 19 and am a wonderfull mother and love my children so much they are my world!

I was 18 when my daughter was born, now I'm 29. I know that probably seems old to you but it's actually quite young still, particuly when most mums at my daughter's school are well into their 40's. Don't worry you won't always be this tired:)

I was 16 when pregnant, a month off 17. My son just turned 1 and my 18th is just 2 weeks away, I am also due with number 2 christmas eve. I love being a mum and think it is the best thing that has ever happened to me I can't wait to have 2. I love watching my son grow and learn new things, like he just started blowing kisses I almost cried with happiness. The only thing that has bothered me is the way people stare but now i realise my son is a very happy and healthy boy I give him everything he needs and he loves me. We are both happy and why should I care what others think. Hope you keep enjoying motherhood just as I am and will...
