Argh i hate judgemental people!!

Hey, I full understand how you feel I was 16 when i had my first the doctors, midwifes and scanner looked down on me! i got dirty looks in the street as i was seen a kid having a kid! what they forget is motherhood makes you mature it makes you realise you have a responsibility to your unborn child. When I told the doctor I was pregnant he instantly mentioned a abortion whish I was quite upset about as I wanted this baby. Then all through my Midwife appointments and scans I got “its not to late you know”

When i went in for my planned c-section they treated me like I was 12.Nurses after my birth kept a eye on me and my partner over heard them saying “I couldn’t cope” “was to young” 5 days I was suppose to be in hospital recovering 8 women on my ward all C-sections I was 5^th one done and first one on my feet. I shocked them because I didn’t buzz them. I didn’t lie in bed I got up and looked after my baby I asked for a bath, asked to go out for fresh air.

So my advice to you is tell people not to judge you because of your age but by your ability to care and look after your baby because this is the most important factor of pregnancy and being a mum. Age doesn’t come into it!

i know exactly where all you girls are coming from im 19 my partner is 23 n when i found out i was pregnant ok it wasnt planned but everyone said i was throwing my life away i have so much potential to have a good career should of waited till i was older blah blah.. they way i look at it is like this:

its my life not theres, i am a very level headed young person still with a very promising career (i work for the council) n intend to carry on working after the baby, me n partner are on more money than me mum  n dad put together, iam now 31 weekspg n i have provided everything for this baby by myself, my mum n dad were in mid 20s when they had me (they waited n where has it got them they both work for big companies but have no promotion oppertunities so stuck in dead end jobs) my g'ma stated that i was too young to be pg(had to remind her that my now 50yr old aunt (her daughter) had to get married at 16 as she was pg with my older cousin! how do people justify these judgments???

sorry about the rant it just makes me mad!

hey jess i know exactly wat u mean!!! but see it dis way...its u and UR baby aint nobody gona babysit for you, buy you everything u need, wake up when da baby crys just u will (or if u have a bf), so dont give a damn wat people say, it gets 2 us wen its fam bcos dey care 4us, but even den my sis wanted me 2 abort it but i thort about me and my life...i see it dis way im 18 and nearly 6 months pregnant...us youngens get bak in2 shape quicker, we'll be young yummy mummys, and we can go out with our kids wen dey get older...ders many positive things 2it....no1 is ever ready 2 have a kid not even if u are 35..jus us youngens we may not be able 2 cope wit stress and money but u seem level headed so ul be fine am sure!!! jus stay strong and focused!!..gd luck xxxxxxx

People have said the same to me! Just ignore them. Im 16 and my little one is 6 months now, okay i didnt plan on having him but hes my life now. I am doing a home learning course! Training to be a nail technician. Dont listen to what evry1 else says. Im fed up of bein called a S**g and god knows what else!!

hey hun don't worry as long as you are happy what does it matter what people say. my dad was like that about me and my fiancee's mum. his mum even suggested we get married because she couldnt bare to have her grandchild be a b***!! i went mad  my parents werent married when they had me. i'm 19 and my fiancee is 22 i mean come on like you said just becaue you have a baby does not mean you've screwed ur life up its just taken a different path. i say everything happens for a reason.

take care and tell them to get lost
