8 month old and pregnant

posted 1st Jul
Well.. i'm 19 and I have an 8 month old and obviously I shouldn't trust birth control beause this is the second time i've gotten pregnant on birth control. I'm in school I work I live on my own and unlike a lot of the teen parents me and my boyfriend take care of our baby on our own and we do fine. Of couse when I found out I was upset and scared but I don't believe in abortions especially now that i have a baby and i guess i'm too selfish for adoption. The first time I got pregnant my parents literally begged me to get an abortion and didn't speak to me the first month and still to this day make comments about it. They live 2 hours away from me and I'm afraid if I tell them this time they'll cut me out of their lives. I'm VERY confused on what I should do. It makes me sick to my stomach that I feel like I can't tell my own parents.. any thoughts?

however your parents act is their choice. I would just tell them and get it over with. If you take good care of your baby and provide for yourself they should be proud that their daughter is doing so well. If they choose to feel otherwise that's their choice. I got pregnant with this baby when my daughter was 6 months oldand I will be 21 this year so I know what it's like to be younger and have the responsibility of parenthood. It's not easy all the time but it can definately be done. I have no regrets about being a mom of two at a younger age.

I can relate. I am a 22 yr old step mom to 1 (age 6), mother to 1 (16months), and expectant mother to 1 (14wks. preggo). So I'll be a 22yr. old mother of 3! My mom and family were not happy when I got pregnant the first time, mostly because my fiance and I refused to get married until we could afford the one of our dreams. When we found out we were pregnant again, we were both very excited, however, very nervous to tell our family. The only one who knows is my mom, I told her yesterday!
When I told her she said, "this better be a ****ing joke." But today she was much more civil and I'm hopeful that by the time the baby is born she will except the baby for the little miracle it is.
I'm going to give you the advice others gave me yesterday, don't worry about their opinions. As long as you and the baby's father are excited thats all that matters! Enjoy your baby and pregnancy!! Don't worry about what others think, they'll come around!!

They should'nt be too mad I mean it's not like you live with them anymore... But then again you never know. They should be happy to be able to share the joys of grandparenthood..lol

explain to them that you were on BC and its not your fault that you are pregnant again. What happens from there is up to them. Whats more important. Your unborn child or your parents. Its a hard choice but it may come down to that. Just do what you feel is right in your heart. if other people don't like it you may be better off without them.

Sweety you have your own life now, you provide for your self and your kid. Unfortuntaley parents will always have their opinions and say so about things, but things happen. And if they can't take it as a blessing, then it's something THEY need to worry about, not you! Don't do ANYTHING you're not comfortable doing, it's hard when your parents don't side with you, I KNOW! But trust me, follow your insticts, do what you think is right, and in the end, you'll be on top!

my parents are just the same except they harrassed me about it for the whole pregnancy and beyond. but i would just get it over with and tell them. Its not like you arent holding your own ground so they shoul be proud of what you can do and im sure theyll love your babies as if they were their own

I know what you're going through. I was married at 16 and had my daughter about a month after my 17 birthday. My mom didn't talk to me for the first 6 months of my pregnancy. I just turned 18 in April, and am 34 weeks pregnant with my second baby. The weird part was, my mom wasn't even upset about this pregnancy. I figured she would be because things have changed since my daughter. I'm now divorced and living back with her. So I'll be a 18 year old mommy of 2.
