Moms of pregnant teens

Hey my mom is on circle of moms and i am sure she would be more than happy to talk about things we come from a very small town where everyone knows your business and everyone has to put their 2 cents in...i set most of them straight early on but anyways it is fine to feel excited you should be whether it was the perfect timing or not this is your grandchild coming into this world and you are going to love it no matter what!! a good support system is what every pregnant woman needs and especially when it is an unexpected pregnancy so ignore the comments or set them straight with how you feel and how you dont appreciate their loud mouth....my cousin kept making shit about how i was 16 and pregnant and blah blah blah so i told her at least i can get pregnant and that shut her up (she had 3 invitro tries before being pregnant with her son and another 4 for her second son felt bad at first for saying it but if you cant take it dont dish it)



anyways back to the point i will have her check out your post :D

I have a teenage daughter who is pregnant as well. I was so glad to read your post, it helped just knowing I wasn't alone. My family has mixed opinions on the subject as well. I am learning to simply ignore those who are negative and try to stay as optomistic as possible. I am here for my daughter no matter what and feel that every parent should understand and respect that. While I was disappointed in my daughters actions, I believe that with constant support and understanding that we will all be just fine. I will do everything I can to help my daughter be successful as a mother and a responsible member of our community. She is a senior in High School and will graduate in May. She is due in June which will allow her to start attending college in August. While having a new addition in our home will be challenging, it is not the end of the world. I see this baby as a blessing.

I am also a yound mom..i got pregnant at 15 and had my son at 16... my school had a program called home bound for students who were not well enough to attend school they would send a teacher to their house once a week with all their school work! i did that for 3 months after my son was born and then went back to school! i graduated in 2008 with honors and was ranked in the top 25 of my class of 350 or so. What got me through everything was my parents support!!! There is no way i would have done nearly as well without them!! I just turned 20 last week and i am now married to the daddy of my son and we just had our second child a girl in Jan. My husband joined the military and i am going to college to be a teacher!! So just because your daughter is pregnant young doent mean that she cant be sucessful or her life is ruined so dont listen to anyone who tells you that!! I just cant express to you in words how important it was to me that my parents were behind me and supported me through everything..i couldnt have done it with out them and your daughter will need you to...so get excited and help out anyway you can!! Congrats Grandma or if you prefer Nana!!

Hello. Im a teen mom. just wanted to say being excited doesnt give your daughter or anyone else the wrong message. I was imbarest that i got pregnate and messed up. and i knew that i had to take responsiablity, but my mom was super excited. I think the best thing is to be there for your daughter. just let your daughter know if she isnt finished school that its still super important. and if your daughter has questions or wants to talk she can add me on facebook. oh ya i had my daughter at 17 graded early .i work full time and am with the babies dad and im going to college this sept. Without education its hard to make it out there now. good luck with your grand baby. : )

i stayed in school, tried to finish my coursework to the day i was due, ihad my son in the march n went back after a couple weeks to finish things off and do my exams, i didnt get the best Gcse's but they wernt bad either, then in the september 2007 i went to college to do hairdressing which i finished last july n as i was a single mum i started to work weekends at Next whilst at college as my mum couldnt get any money for me. I left Next to spend abit of time with my son n im now also living with my boyfriend n have just started a new job cleaning not long after that about 3 weeks ago i found out im pregnant again which im really happy about. How old is your daughter n how far is she? x x
