re: Teen mom with 2 babies!!

Quoting Qiūtiān:" Good luck and I will keep my negative opinions to myself but please do consider adoption."

No thank you, I can take care of my child. It'll be hard but I'm sure I can manage.

Quoting Angel's Momma.:" Well good luck on having 2 little ones! I am sure you will do fine without him. I got pregnant at 16 ... [snip!] ... and fighting and a lot of it was abusive physically and emotionally. If you need anyone to talk to you can always talk to me."

Thanks for understanding  

Quoting Mama2WinterGirls:" You definately need look into long term birth control such as mirena or paragard. You don't have to remember ... [snip!] ... with baby number one but condoms should have been a priority BEFORE baby number two came to be. Good luck...you'll need it."

I'll be getting the mirena. Thanks though.

I wasn't trying to say that it was the hospital's fault I didn't get on birth control. I know that if I would have made it to my 6 week appointment, I could have got it done right then & there. I was just saying what happened since I missed the appointment. My doctor did take the blame for not giving it to me before I discharged the hospital because he said they usually do. I did ask for birth control at the hospital. There was so much going on all at once, I didn't stay on top of it.

I was a "teen" mom but I never ever have called myself that. I was 18 when I had my first (pregnant at 17) and 19 when I had my second. They are 13 months apart and neither were planned for right away. But it happened. Their father and I have been together since we were 12, married since 18; going on almost 5 years married. We both graduated, he has had a full time job for almost 6 years now and I'm a full time SAHM/college student. We did have a hard time at first having two in diapers but my husband had a great job then ( same job now, he just makes more    ) and we always made too much for any kind of assistance so we learned to manage our money easier. Now almost 5 years later, we aren't struggling whatsoever, just bought our first home in April 2011, and are expecting our third daughter (yes, planned) in just a few days. It IS possible to make a good life for yourself and babies but you MUST know that it'll be a struggle in the beginning. PM me if you ever want to talk   I'm not ashamed of my life at all. I wouldn't be who I am today if it wasn't for my girls and my husband. Congratulations on the new pregnancy and good luck hun!!!

lol it means send me a private message.   And thank you. As long as you work hard and stay in school and/or get a good job, you'll be there too. But like I said, it takes struggling to get there. You'll be fine. Hope your BD grows up and changes his ways though.

well that's crazy because i don't think any hospital does that... then why go to your 6 week appt? & you can't start any bc until you get your period anyway.

Thanks. & I think he will eventually, I still have faith in him.

True.. I'm not really sure, that's just what my doctor told me. I only had one period after I had my daughter & because I wasn't on my period at the time of my appt., they wouldn't give it to me.

My mom had babies that close together and she says it was the hardest thing she ever did.

Congratulations on finishing High School, I wish I wouldv'e.

You sound like a smart lady. You have a tough road ahead. Good luck OP. And congratulations on a another bundle of joy.  

Wow! What a story! Good luck, and as long as your happy and are able to take care of those little kiddies, all power to you. As everyone else suggested, Birth control! That's where I went wrong...I stopped taking mine! Once again, I wish you the best of luck

I'm witnessing how it is already, my Uncle just had his 2nd child & he has a one year old. My whole family pitches in to help because babies are a handful & they need lots of attention. Thank you (:

I'm very happy & excited to have another, babies are never mistakes.. only blessings! I'm def. getting on BC this time, no doubt about it! I was always like, "no, that could never happen to me" psh, boy was I wrong.. happened twice! I def. learned the hard way!! I'm getting the mirena so there won't be an option to stop taking it. The pills just made my period really long, hated them! Stopped taking them & that's how Miss Jayda came along!
