I'm a bit on the fence with this one. I am 19 and have a 13 month old son. I have been with my partner for 4 years and we plan on buying a house in the next 6 months and getting married some time after that. I was 17 when I fell pregnant. Unlike some people I used protection but their is not much you can do if the condom breaks and you take the emergency contraceptive pill which has a very high success rate and you still fall pregnant. My son was just meant to be and I couldn't have asked for a better little boy. I did the right thing and stayed at school and did my exams when I was about 32 weeks pregnant. I am now a full time uni student here in Australia and when I am finished I will be a regestered Division 1 nurse. I didn't come from a rich family but my upbringing hasn't been terribly hard either. I feel that I am a great mum. I have set up my life better than some people who are in their 30's and having children. My son hasn't had it hard and I hope he never will. He has money put away towards his education, so I feel I have done everything a mother twice my age would do and maybe more.
On the other hand their are some younger mothers that are just not capable of raising children. You can just give them to someone everytime you want to go out or do something without them which I see happen alot. You need to set a good example for your children and partying hard is not one of them. This is not to say that only young mums are like this. There are many children with older drugo parents or ones that can't keep a stable lifestyle and really couldn't afford to have kids but did.
It's a very shakey subject. All I have to say is that I do not and will not be put in the same category as the stupid teens you are talking about. Nothing anyone can say to me will bring me down!!!

its sounds crazy but in realitly every1 is different i was 15 years old obviously not planned but the best thing i have ever done my son nearly 7 now has made me grow into the person i am today, he does me proud so i know ive done a good job. now 22 i have a 4 mnth old daughter also i love being a young mum and wouldnt change a thing. but on another note i would never advise young people to have a baby but its a personal choice and we arent all immature idiots like u see on jeremy kyle

Im 18 and my daughter is 2 and a half months old. I had her when i was 17. Its hard but i wouldnt change a thing. And i dont think im missing out on the whole, drinking, clubbing, partying scene. I went clubbing for the first time last night and its shit and such a waste of money. I would rather stay at home with my daughter and spend my money on my daughter and partner. And yes it may be crazy. But im so glad i had her young

In regards to your comment about how we are all jumping to conclusions and that you too are a young mother to be, maybe you should have tried adding more in your original statement, instead of just "Sorry but hearing about all these young mums is crazy."

i understand and i wouldnt have done it intentionally but it happens, i was one month shy of my 17th birthday when i gave birth to my daughter and i wouldnt think of anything else thats more important than her. i am also a single mother finishing high school. Its tough raising your child on your on and stayin in school but ive done it.....

I have to agree with all the moms saying age has nothing to do with being a good mother. I had my first child when I was 17 and my 2nd when i was 19 and i raise them both. I don't drink, I don't do drugs, I don't even smoke cigarettes. When i went in to have my 1st, the lady in the room next to me was 30 years old and didnt know how to breastfeed, change a diaper or even comfort her baby when he cried. I on the other hand surprised all the nurses in the wing because i didnt need help with anything. I'm very proud of myself for that. There are LOTS of young mothers out there that do much better with raising children than most "regular" age mothers. It is a becoming a problem but as long as we're raising them right it shouldn't be a problem and we shouldn't be judged for it either.

I can imagine your going to get some nasty comments on here. I may have had a child at 19 but i already own a house im already married, we go on holidays and will see the world, most people these days are 'kids' until there 20. Old mums arnt going to be able to do much when there kids are older i'l still be young enough to have a decent life after they have grown up. Society is changing woman deal with it

Proven research has shown that the most fertile age for females is age 13-22. This is the age group where most pregnancy's are considered very low risk. Mothers who have there children at 30 to 40 are close to all considered high risk. Society has just put a number on when the "right" age is to have a kid. The views switched from females should stay home mother the kids and males should work and make the money to education first. People should wait to have kids till they have an education and career. But there are still a lot of people who are old school and they are stay at home moms while the man works. A "young" mom a "kid" having a "kid" is soley based on what society has painted for many to believe. I am 18 on a fast track nursing program and 7 months pregnant. I have my own home and pay the bills with plenty left over for nonsense items. I still make time for fun with friends. But I limit myself to what I use to do as a "teenager". Age is simply a number. It doesn't tell whether a person can be fit to parent or not.

honestly, sometimes young women make some of the best mommys. I am only seventeen years old and i have a six-month old little girl. and I've lost so much because of my decision and I don't care. I have never looked back. Young mothers are so frowned upon and judged, but really, we work and try the hardest to raise our children and give them a good life. and now that I think of it, I am happy I had my daughter so young because I will have much more in common with my daughter in her teenage years. what is crazy is these 50/60 year old women having children. I would much rather be 35 at their high school graduation than 90. but hardly anyone talks down on them.

I've gotten very used to the judgement; it's really okay. I know I made a mistake, but it was the best mistake I ever made. I had my first son when I was 17 in 1998; he was a wonderful boy with a great spirit and a strong personality. He was and still is the center of my world; he passed away on his 11th birthday last year after a car accident. It was a challenge to raise him and watch him slip away from me, but it was a wonderful time I had with him. Today, I am still younger than 30 and have three children; one of them is actually my niece who I adopted as my daughter when I was 18. They all mean the world to me, and it does not matter what others say about us young moms.

I hate how everyone lables us as bad mother because we are young. age dosnt define the kind of mother you will be. i agree with most of these women who say this, but also most of these women say as long as you dont abort or place them for adoption and you take responsiblity for your baby then ur a good mom. well im here to stick up for all those girls who has placed a baby. I got pregnant at 15 had my baby at 16, and yes i placed my son for adoption but that does NOT mean im a bad mom. that just mean i wanted better for my son. if i could have given my baby the best life then i would have, but i couldnt and had no where to go, so i chooce an open adoption so that my son knows me. that does not make me a bad mom. God had a plan for my life and my sons life, there is always a reason why something happens, even if your still young.

I agree with all these teen mothers. I see nothing wrong with having a child so young. I was pregnant with my daughter at 17 and turn 18 while i was 3months pregnant. I see nothing wrong with it. I know teens that are way better parents than people that are over the age of 20. Age shouldn't matter..

IT QUITE AMUSES ME AT HOW SOCIETY THROWS AN APPROPRIATE AGE LIMIT ON REPRODUCING IN WHICH THEY ARE JUST STANDARD AND RESPONSIBILITIES WE HAVE PUT UPON OURSELF TO FUCNTION IN SOME SORT OF SOCIETY BUT DO YOU GUYS NOT KNOW YOUR HISTORY IN WHICH WOMEN WERE REPRODUCING AT THE AGE OF 9 YEARS OLD AND WERE ENCOURAGED TO CONTINUE. OUR LIFE'S SERVED PURPOSE IS TO HAVE CHILDREN. ARE YOU GONNA SHAME THE 12 YR OLD WHO WAS RAPPED AND FORCED TO HAVE A CHILD FROM SUCH AN INCIDENT AND FORCED TO BE A MOTHER SO YOUNG, YOU WILL BUT HOW DARE YOU...THE FACT OF THE MATTER IS WE ALL HAVE OUR OWN JUDGEMENTS. I KNOW MANY 20-25 EVEN OLDER WHO HAVE NO SENSE OF RESPONSIBILITY OR CARE INTHE WORLD FOR THEIR CHILDREN AND YET MANY THAT DO AT THE AGE OF 12 AND 13 DUE TO HAVING TO BE A PARENT AND CARRY A RESPONSIBILITY. CARRYING A CHILD FOR 9 MONTHS MATURES ANY WOMAN NO MATTER HOW SENSE LESS YOU ARE. BUT I TRULY BELIEVE FEW THINGS IN LIFE HELP SUCH IGNORANT AND NIEVE CHILDREN TO GROW UP. I WAS 17 AND CHILDLESS AND MOVED ON MY OWN TO A WHOLE OTHER STATE AND MATURED GREATLY BUT DIDNT MEAN IT PREPAREDME TO HAVE A CHILD. I HAD THEBABY THINK IT OVER IN WHICH HELP ME HIT REALITY TILL I COULD GET SOME SENSE TO FIND A CARING PARTNER. ANNNYYYWWWAAAYYY ENOUGH RAMBLING FACT OF THE MATTER IS WE ALL GO THROUGH OUR OWN MATURING TIMES. REALLY YOU ARE WHAT KEEPS THE WORLD SPINING ON JUDGMENTAL AND STEROTYPING BS. COULD YOU JUST TURN THE CHEEK AND CARE FOR YOUR OWN.

I hate people that are so ignorant!!! I was pregnant the whole time i was seventeen, and then i finally had my son exactly a month n a day after i turned 18!! I agree with alot of the moms that say that everything happends for a reason! I wouldnt trade my son for the world, and hes the best thing that ever happend to me!! Having a baby at a young age isnt easy, but I have done and will continue to make sure my son has the best life possible. I have grown up n learned what responsibilty is, alot of young mothers have their parents helping them or even raising their children for them.. I on the other hand have learned to do it only with the help with my fiance, soo please dont mis judge people because you could b very very wrong.

I was 17 when I got pregnant and had my little boy when I was 18. HE WAS PLANNED! Why don't you just keep your opinion to yourself you don't know me or any of the other young mums on here, so you have know right to judge. I am a great mum and I love my baby more than life its self. You don't look any older than 17 anyway!.

I'm a young mother and no our son wasnt planned but he is the best thing to ever happen to me. I have a stable three year long relationship with a man that works hard to support us and my son is well looked after and is a very happy healthy little boy. So where in all of that to you find the problem? And why join the group Teenage mothers/Young mothers just to say something offensive?

1. You really shouldn't judge people when you don't know their situation. - I had my daughter when I was 18. I wouldn't change having her so young for the world. Children help people grow. You don't look that old yourself so you probably shouldn't have posted this.
2. If you meant young moms that AREN'T taking care of their children that is totally different. If someone can't handle the responsibility of raising a little person than they should rethink what they "think is right".
3. Like someone else responded this is a blog is for young moms looking for support & nonjudgmental peers. You should probably delete yourself from this page or avoid it.
I'm trying to be the best mom I can be. I won't be cocky & say that I am the best mom ever because I still have room to improve but my daughter has changed my life for the better. If it wasn't for her I wouldn't have got out of a bad situation & found the Christian man I am now married to. I am very thankful for her & praise God for giving her to me, when I was not worthy of such an amazing child, every day. I'm sure the rest of these moms would agree with that. I hope your opinion on "young moms having children" will change but if not I still wish the best to you.

im 18 and i have a 2 week old son and he was planned. some people know what they want in life and to my fiancee and i that was a family, and we want atleast 3 kids to us it is easier to start while we are younger and have the energy to play with our kids. i do not want to be an old mum, my fiancee will be 38 when our son is 18 and i will be 36. his father was 63 when he was 18 and it is a whole different game plan when your parents dont understand the issues you face in the current ways of the world or because of their age.

I know MANY MANY mothers who are 14 and are amazing mother and i know mothers who are 38 and are worthless and have lost all their children. We as humans will naturally judge. I dont know ho old you are but you are posting this in young/teenmothers area so aparently I cant do nothing but assume your a young mother your self and you have a 1 year old so I think you opinion in this post is quite a judgemental one and unnecessary at that. ANYONE UNDER THE AGE OF 21 IS NOT CONSIDERED AN ADULT YES THE LEGAL AGE IS 18 but age does not define the ability of a mother. Are you gonna question a disabled mother as you would a healthy non disabled one? I HIGHLY doubt it. SO why I ask questions ones ability to mother at a certain age. Mother hood comes with instincts no BOOK. No matter what age and as many of you may fail to realize OUR REPRODUCTION age is on a average between 11-13 so ITS LIFE GET USE TO IT.....

***AGE DOES NOT DEFINE THE ABILITY TO BE A GOOD MOTHER.*** I'VE SEEN YOUNG AND OLD MOTHERS ABANDON AND NEGLECT THEIR CHILD/CHILDREN MENTALLY, EMOTIONALLY & PHYSICALLY! AND ON SAYING THAT I'VE SEEN YOUNG AND OLD MOTHERS BE AMAZING, CAPABLE, LOVING, NURTURING AND SUPPORTIVE!!! IT'S NOT ABOUT AGE; IT'S ABOUT LEVEL OF UNDERSTANDING AND WILLINGNESS TO LISTEN AND LEARN!!!!! THE YOUNG MUMS ON HERE THAT IT SEEMS YOU'RE REFFERING TO, ARE ON HERE TO GAIN SUPPORT KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING TO BE GREAT AND AMAZING MOTHERS!!!!!!! ^_^

i am a young mom myself and it isnt the greatest position to be in... it wasent planned and to be a single mom for that matter is the hardest thing im 19 now and having my daughter saved me from a life of drugs and drinking and horable people... so i think that when someone has a baby at a young age there is a reason they are given that merical OR second chance.. BUT when you are TRYING to be pregnant..... and your like 15!!! now thats NUTS more than half of kids born to teen moms grow up to be poor.. the teens raise there babies off of the state.. walfair assest... now thats not right.. and than to keep having kids.. if you cant get a job and not have to have the state pay for your shit.. there is no reason for these young moms to be having babies

Its crazy when teens have children just because its the fun thing to do but its not anything to judge a person by if they take on the responsibility of being a mother and accept the accidental blessing...=D But its not acceptable when you find moms who choose their teenage lifestyle of having fun with sports and boys instead of living for their child when that child needs a mother.

I am really upset at this topic because I was 16 when I found out that I was pregnant with my son. I had him at 17 and I am going to be 18 here soon. And older women need to understand that just because we are young does not mean that we can't be good mothers. My son is almost 8 months old now and I love him to death and I wouldn't change him for the world. And it bothers me that people always say stuff about young moms.

It is and i am also one of those young mothers i had mine at 19 i have to say it wasnt planned but i wasnt doing anything to stop it either. I love my son like no other and his father (my fiance) who is 1 1/2 days younger than me is still there and i am very happy to say that. I think that i am a very good mother and would do anythin for my baby im still in school/college my 2nd year and im getting things done a day at a time. so yea its crazy but i also think things happen for a reason and God blessed me with a beautiful now 3 month old baby boy.

I am very insulted by this comment. You are on a site that is meant to be supporting young moms, a place we can all go to help each other.
You are entitled to your opinion but express it else where!
I personally disagree, a mother of 18 (which I was) is no different to a mother of 30, all you need to be a mother is love and responsibility, and from the responses on here everyone has that.
My daughter is 12 months old and I am 19.
My opinion is that mothers of 40+ are 100% MORE irresponsible, it is more dangerous during pregnancy, and that child is only going to see their mother for 30 odd years, my daughter has 60+ years of my love and afection. I know which I prefer!!
And to those who say teen mums arn't going to be financially stable, I run my own business at 19, I have my own apartment and i have never been on the dole.
Teen mums make great mums

okay, let me just say that im only TURNING 17 in april, and im expecting my first child in july. but seriously, the older women of today really REALLY irritate me with the way the look at me when i go down to the shops, like i should be ashamed with myself for being pregnant. well i had that option to have an abortion, and you know what? people have actually TOLD me to get an abortion! but i believe that all life is precious and that my baby shouldnt have to die for being created. i believe that this experience has made me grow up in alot of different ways FOR THE BETTER, and shes not even out of me yet! and all those older women who are sitting there playing it like they know everything, you dont. because while you cant play with your kids and dont have the patience for them (and THOSE kids are planned and that sickens me, why plan them if u dont want to put in the time and effort to be with them??) i will still be young, healthy and able to run around with my kid for a very long time! YES i know its going to be hard in so many ways, but i also know that a 17 year gap between me and my baby is a better one, because we will relate more and be able to spend more time together. so all of you old fuddie duddies who think your all that because you "waited" like you say you did, or "planned" later on. why dont you just grow up and stop being so

did you ever take time to consider that some things aren't planned. im sorry i have to disagree with this. i am a young mother and just so you know birth control and plan b doesn't work. i took them both and still was blessed with my beautiful daughter. and i think it makes young mothers grow up more and be more responsible. i think im the most mature person my age thank you very much.

I'm sorry but I just have to get this off my chest. I am BEYOND sick and tired of the way people talk about young mothers like we're all a stereotype. Not all of us got pregnant intentionally like so many young immature irresponsible girls are doing these days. My pregnancy was an accident but I don't regret it for anything in the world! It made me grow up a lot, I stopped doing all the irresponsible things I was doing before, and it motivated me to make something more of my life. I graduated high school on time (I wasn't like most who dropped out and went back later, and i didn't opt for my GED I wanted my full diploma) and now I'm a business management major in college. And I can guarantee you I'm a better mother at 19 than a lot of women could hope to be at 35. All of uf young mothers are very different. Unitl you've taken a step back and gotten to know each of our individual struggles, don't try to classify us all into one group, it only makes you seem ignorant. THANKS!!!!!

I know girls that are a "good" age to have babies and don't do a good job at it! I have three kids and I'm 20, I take better care of my kids than most moms I know! So age has nothing to do with it, I think either you wanna be a mom or you don't, && If you do wanna be a mom, your gunna be a good mom no matter what age you have your kids!

I am also quite a young mum. I was 20 when I had my son and my partner was 27. Since then we have got married and got ourselves a house. It made us both realise that we were wasting a lot of money and time. We stopped spending money on ribbuish and now we are so stable and I don't think that would have happened if it hadn't been for my son. Also I have an older sister who had her first baby at 30 and she says all the time that she was not prepared. Nothing will prepare you, in fact she felt that because she was older she should know what she was doing but that wasn't the case and she was too afraid to ask for help.
There are a few people out there that give young mums a bad name but thats the same with anything in life!

Chido- How is 17 any more mature then 15? There is nothing right about having a child that young, I am a firm believer that you should wait to have children until you are stable. But I like the rest of the "Teen Moms" had my child when I was 16, if you were raised right, you can handle any situation that comes your way. I was raped when I was 15 and I got pregnant, how is that my fault for being "irrresponsible"? I had no choice, but I knew it wasn't the babies fault. And you know what? Having him changed my life forever. You should seriously check what you are saying before to post something like that to a SUPPORT GROUP. And spellcheck what you have written, you look ignorant in what you are saying. Girls, I am almost 24 with a 7 year old son and one year old daughter, I will only be 35 when my son graduates from highschool, but I will have 20+ years on most moms with my son. I love being a young mother, and wouldn't change it for the world. I did wait almost 6 years before knowing I was ready to have another, but that was MY choice this time.

Ofcourse we're all gonna get pissed over it JESS EDWARDS . Its insulting! Especially when the person who posted this doesnt look over the age of 20! people need to have some respect. They expect us to have respect for our "elders" but why dont we get any back? GET IT THROUGH YOUR THICK SCULL, JUST BECAUSE WERE YOUNG, DOESNT MEAN WE'RE BAD MOTHERS!!

I was 16 when I had my daughter Leah. At the time me and my ex owned a house and were engaged. I am now 18 and pregnant with my second. I am due in June, I am with a different man but, I have my own apartment nad pay my bills on time. The age doesn't matter as long as you take care of your responsibilities and love them unconditionally! My children are the best things that have ever happened to me! They helped me grow up a lot.

i think the maturity of the parent has EVERYTHING to do with it.
girls that go out and just fuck for the sake of fucking, or do it to get money from the government should be shot in the knee caps and their children be given better homes.
girls that have chosen to fully understand the concept of being a mother should have the right to be one. Im 19, 20 in july and a week overdue now with my boy.
I wouldn't change it for the world.
but then again, I have maturity behind me and I am responsible.
