I got married before I got pregnant.

For labels I consider 19 and younger teen mom, and then 20-23 young mom. Just because that's like college age for most. So since I'm 21 I consider myself a young mom, but I think I'm mature enough to handle it. Maybe not as mature as I would be at like 30 but I don't think I'm gonna totally fail at it.

I learned my family doesnt believe in teen mom young mom stuff the hard way got pregnant at 16 and my dad gave me two options abort her or suck it up and do what all moms do.... So to me now its either a mom or a stupid kid....

Well it depends.... technically any mom who is a teenager is a teen mom of course but I tend to use the term 'teen mom' to describe any mom under the age of 20 who hasn't got her smurf together. The ones who have their smurf together I generally just refer to as a mom. Their age is only relevant to me if they're acting immature. Also many moms aged 20+ act like 'teen moms' too.
