re: Here it is: your very own teen parenting forum!

juss a little status update since my last post. since i had a positive quad screening, i got referred to a specialist. me and the boyfriend went to the specialist on november 17th. the specialist found out that my doctors office had used the wrong due date, the specialist then gave me an ultrasound and measured everything. my odds on having a down syndrome baby are 1:589. everything is fine, healthy and normal. im so excited to meet my baby girl (:

just what ive been looking for

If your a 19 year old parent, is that considered a teen parent?? i mean, cause 18 is the legal age of adulthood, but its still a teen.??

I'm so excited. I can't wait for my first appointment, to know everything! To know the exact due date! But I'm so scared. My husband knows, but my mother doesn't!

Quoting JamieLynn92:" I need help telling my parents that i am pregnant and only 15 :\ I am 4 monmths and barley showing but ... [snip!] ... and barley showing but i think my dad is starting to notice but i keep denying it.. Im really nerveous. Someone help me please."

well it will be very hard, they'll be disappoinyed and probably extremely mad, but the best thing to do id tell them, your still their daughter and they'll be mad but i promise they will get over it and be excited my parents were sooo mad but their extremely excited now. im 16 and im 9months pregnant. im due jan 31st:   it will be hard but its your child so you need to earn up to it and be the best parent possible. it will be hard but you can do it.

I took a pregnancy test a few weeks ago and found out I'm pregnant. My friends mom got me a doctors appointment and found out I'm about 14 weeks with twins. I couldn't figure out how to tell my dad I'm having one. How do I tell him I'm having two?

Hey, i just want to say thanks. I am not yet a mother, however i am pregnant and i am single, this has been a very over whelming and scary time, but now, haveing sites like this, that give you other people in similar situations to talk to. i am now handling it well, and i am so gratefull. Thank you.

and they always look at us like were whores. i got pregnant with my first child when i was17 had him at 18. now at 19 im 5 weeks pregnant with my second child and my husbands first

Quoting Cadie:" Has anyone else been told that, this is going to ruin your life? i swear when i hear people say that ... [snip!] ... going to take hard work and lots of strength, but god would not have blessed me with a baby if he didnt think i could do it."

i completely agree. Everyone tried to tell me that too, but my daughter is 4 months old now and i am married to her father and we got our own apartment. It is REALLY hard, but we are doing it and proving everyone wrong. Age doesn't make a mother.

i would've never thought i would become a teen mom , but i have a blessing on the way its great to have support for teen moms   this has been very hard for me , i was in denial at first . i can't jus think about me now . i know everything is going to change but it takes a strong lady to get through this .. now i'm happy im expecting

I'm 16, 17 next December. I'm 17 weeks pregnant, due June 8th. Been with my boyfriend for nearly two years now and he's 20 (full time worker, absolutely amazing boyfriend) Were over the moon and can't wait!!! I found out when I was 5 weeks, it was a huge shock for both of us but we soon started to get the hang of it. We told his parents first and they are so happy! I told my parents s week later and they had a fit (not at me, but at my boyfriends parents!) But they soon got over it too and became happy! I've had tones of abuse for getting pregnant at a young age, I've had loads of people being really nasty and saying I'm gunna be a bad mother. In all honisty I think me and my boyfriend will do absolutely fine and be amazing parents because we adore our baby! Plus, we have so much support from family. It's nice to see nice things bein said for once!

Today I found out I have TTTS. I can't even grasp it, I can't lose my babies. I'm young I know, but the thought that this could kill them is gut wrenching. I just don't know what to do :/

Best thing to do is tell your parents right away, my parents are divorced and i barely see my dad so i didnt have to worry about telling my dad so much, But i really did not want to tell my mom right away but my boyfriends mom told me it's better to tell my mom now then to wait and tell her later i told her 3 days after i found out and it was the best decision, she wasnt mad because yelling at your child will do nothing she was dissapointed but now im 4 months and shes excited and its so easy talking to her about the pregnancy just as fun as talking to a best friend about it. So i am glad i told her as soon as i did because she even admitted if i waited to tell her later she would have been more upset.  

I feel so happy there's a forum for teen moms =), I got prego when I was 17 years old, I gave birth last May 16, 2011, my baby's turning 8mos. this 16th of January, hmm I feel so good, specially whenever I see my baby smiling and laughing but I'm having problems with some of the nuns in our school (I'm studying in a catholic university) some of the nuns discriminates me =( saying that I do not understand MORALITY! the heck! i think it's more immoral to have an abortion!
