I dont know about now, but when i was pregnant i got funny looks ALL of the time! esp. when i was riding my bike (wonder why?!) But now that my son is 8 1/2 months old I'm too busy talking and playing with him to notice anybody looking in my direction :)

yes ignore it! i have 4 boys and a girl on the way and im almost 28. i get the same think and people stare and i say yes there all mine and all fed and clothed and happy so let them be then they look back in shock. smile kids are the best blessing ever. and even if u had them young means they can look after us when we old (hehe)

does it really matter what other people think?

i was 18 when i had my daughter and people were always telling me i was stupid and too young but i just ignored it. its your decision to have kids and if that means you are young when ya do it, so be it. it has nothing to do with anyone else. it is frustrating tho how people can be cruel like that tho.

my brother is only 18 and his gf is 16 and their baby is due in a couple of weeks and people have said the most cruelest things to them....and yeh even tho they young, doesnt mean they wont make good parents.

just ignore people's stares and know that you are a good mum and it doesnt matter what anyone else thinks.

I get that all the time. Just about every store I go to with my 4 boys, someone is always telling me that I'm too young to have all of these kids. I just brush it off. If they knew my life story, if they knew me, they would just be happy for me, and not try to critize me. Every child of mine is a miracle, and I am blessed to have each one of them. So if someone says something to you, just smile and say that you have your meaning in life, your child. Hope I helped.
