hey im new!! 16 and pregnant!

[pregnantand16]

hey. if anyone has any advice it would be much appreciated!!!!!!!!!!

[charnelg2004]

Omg! You should be ashamed of yourself.
My advice to you, don't get pregnant again until you are an adult. You should be getting ready for prom. Instead, your getting ready to be a mother. Your parents must be so proud. Goodbye.

Hey new and 16. Welcome! I' sure this wasnt exactly what you had in mind for this time of your life, but I think its great you are looking for advice. We all need it as we enter motherhood (no matter how old or young!:) How many weeks along are you now?

How are you feeling?

My little sister just had a baby in October. The best advice I can give you is to surround yourself with good stable support. Family and friends are key to getting through pregnancy and raising a baby happy and healthy.

Good luck and ask away any questions you may have...there are a lot of people who've been there!

[1st Time Mom - Again]

First of all, I am so sorry that the first response you received was so judgmental. I assure you that most of the moms on this site are more helpful. I would be happy to offer what help I can. I was only 18 when I became pregnant with my first so I completely understand what you are facing.

I have raised that child (she is now 23) and at the age of 42 have another child about to turn 1. (He was a surprise!)

Before offering any advice though, I would like to ask what kind of support system you have in place? Are your parents/guardians supportive? I'm assuming that since you are asking for help that you intend to keep the baby. Unless you are looking for help on your options (such as adoption)?

I am not asking to be nosy but so that I can offer the best advice I can.

Welcome Pregnantand16 !!!! Frist I want to tell Charnelg2004 that you should be ashamed of yourself. Here she is asking for help and you have to act like a b$*#@ . Who are you to judge her? Now on to more important things... Congrats on your pregnancy, it proably was not planned but what are you going to do now. I will tell you now that it will be hard and you will ask yourself what was I thinking, but always remeber that you can do this and you will. How far along are you? I would reccommend getting alot of books to read... Like what to expect when you are expecting....Things like that. I wish you the best of luck. I got pregnant the first time when I was 19 and people looked down on me too. Just keep your head up and be responsible for the life that is growing inside you now.

i was once 16 and pregnant, had him at 17 and now he's 11. i was a single mom and i did it all on my own, working myself to the grind. it's a hard road you've chosen and it's paved in a lot of self sacrifice, but a lot of love goes a long way.

the only advice outside of what you'd find on the forums that i could give you is to never give up when it seems everything is against you, never give in when it seems to tough to handle, and never - ever let anyone look down on you for taking responsibility for the choice you made.

some piece of conversation between my son and i before his brother was born last sept. in regards to the fact i was married before i had him.

"I know I was a mistake."

"No, sweetheart, having sex while you are a teenager and getting pregnant is always a mistake, but making the choice to have you was never one."

[RyansMommy]

I agree with these other women, Do not listen to charnelg2004. She should not be so judgemental..that makes me mad and she didnt even say it to me. I think that the best thing you can do is have help!!!! Im 19 and my husband and I decided to have a baby young and it has been the best joy of my life but i will tell you it has been hard. There is times its very easy and so joyful but then theres times its hard. I think you will do just fine =] Dont worry! Keep faith in youself and you will be fine =D If you have any questions ill be here to talk =]

[jolee.marie]

hi i completely agree with everyone that the first post was very rude. i am 17 just had my first baby girl in dec. 2008. i was 16 when i got pregnant, had her after i turned 17. i had many people look at me like i did something wrong, but in my heart i knew i was doing the right thing by givin my baby life, abortion and adoption were never a choice of mine, i just couldn't ever do it. my advice is have a good support system such as family and friends. read alot. get a bunch of sleep cause once that baby is here you won't sleep again. haha just kidding but you do get less sleep. have a good doctor. make a birthing plan. and if at all possible finish school. talk to your concilers and see what you can do. i'm doing night school and i convinced my counsiler to let me bring my little one with me.

also how far along are you? do you know what your having?

You're fucking strange

[PregnantTeen]

Hey 16 and pregnant.

im in the same boat as you girl.
people have been sayn that it isnt right to be pregnant at such a young age
but it already happened and i def dont have the heart to abort my baby.
i have been with my bf for 1 and a half year'sz nd he couldnt be happier.
so i say, you go girl. do waht yu have to do!!

hows it all going so far?
waht were your feeling ween yu fownd owt?

[jenn_0629]

waht were your feeling ween yu fownd owt?



My thoughts: You're writing style is looking all too familiar. You are all the same person.

[Disco Lemonade]

Lmfao!! You see the pattern Jenn?? All these first time posters seem alot like her huh

[clnrc88]

hey gurl keep your friends close they will be a big help on keeping you sane though the whole thing. If I didn't have my friends I don't know what I'd done. I'm 20 and have a lot of friends younger that come to me for advise and help. congrads and good luck.

[jenn_0629]

What I would like to know is....why are all of the 'first time posters' choosing to post on this particular thread and not on any others....Interesting....

[kelly23]

This is all nuts. I don't know if I should post or not half the time. You know, there was one thread where someone said she was 12!!!! and pregnant for the 2nd or 3rd time, I forget which, and I was like what the hell is wrong with you? That thread was deleted pretty fast.

[jlc85]

Okay now I am confused... What do you mean first time posters not posting on anything else. Sorry I am new at this. I look at this site alot at work to keep from going crazy w/ boredom... :)

We have a "troll" on the board who likes to post as multiple people with different "stories" and personalities. Recently she (or he) revealed several of these personalities and apparently s/he is bored again and cross posting as several new posters.

And jenn_0629 and Disco Lemonade :D - I think you are both right about all the new posters on this thread.

[seedeefly]

i would just like to say i dont post very offten not because i dont want to but i just dont have the time i have 4 5yrs and under so i lucky if i have time to read that being said if you have to be more than one person on line than you must live a very sad and loanley life. so those of you who respond to the multi person dont and they will go away
