I was a teen mom.....

just never give up!! i know it's hard and i'm no longer a teen so just wanted to show some love and support to all you teen mommies out there i wouldn't trade my two beautiful babies for the world!  

So was I was 18 when I had my lovely Matthew now hes almost 5~! and I am due with my next one in November =3

I got pregnant at 18, had my DD at 19. Got pregnant again still at 19, had my DS at 20. I never really felt like a 'teen mom' , maybe because I had already graduated and that jazz.
But I honestly don't understand why people are so hard on teen moms...its a hard situation to be in, and they need support, not to be put down.

Now the ones that act like ridiculous 'typical' teen moms and act like babies are an accessory, those get on my nerves.  

ugh i know! the ones that are dying to get prego at 15 and smurf like that... i was pregnant at 15 and it was a complete accident. BUT i wouldn't take him back for the world!  

I got pregnant at 19 had my baby at 20, not sure if that counts as a "teen mum" but its still young. I have to say its not impossible my partner and I own our own house, we are in a stable relationship, he has a very well payed job and I am still employed just on maternity leave. If you get your priorities straight anything is possible.

they want to be moms too young and then they have the baby and realize how hard that smurf really is! but i still show love to them because i can't be a hypocrite i had both my kids young...

I agree, Although I honestly don't think its a matter of age but maturity and no 15 year old is mature enough to say yes I am ready and want a baby. Not only that but being financially stable also helps.

true very true! i was no where near financially stable at that point but i've always had a good head on my shoulders so that helped lol.

No it doesn't. You unfortunately had a teen pregnancy, but you're not a teen mother.
