gee that's young
I was a teen parent, but not till 16
I got pregnant with my 1st child at 16 and my 2nd at 19. I am now engaged to my 2nd child's father and am a Registered Nurse with my BA. I wish you the best of luck ts hard i know it is but in the long run its worth it!(now that your daughter is here)
try the local Council Estate
I think it is unfortunate that they have to grow up so quickly. I am very happy for the ones that turn out to be good parents though, that is tough to do.
That's quite hard but i think you need every support from your family and friends and also from the father of your baby.
i know friends who have had kids young. most of them find it very hard because they are looking after these kids on their own with no help from the so called 'fathers'. i feel sorry for them because to me they are missing out on so much of their youth, theres time to have kids in the future. but on the other hand thats just my opinion, if they are happy then good luck to them.
Not a good idea! u are 13 and u r a mom! You have tough luck buddy. u will be missing out so many things from ur life..
Sorry couldn't be construtive b/c I do not like people pay for their stupid mistakes. but they have too.
Only can say is.. keep trying you will be okay but its gonna be tough.
i think you are a baby having a babby. and of course you dont have a career and you own place. i hope you are rasing you kid instead of your mom. the best thing you can do at your age is to being a good mother. i would suggest a parenting class.
That must be sooo hard! I can't imagine! How in the world are you supporting your baby? You won't even be able to get a job for a few more years.
I was 20 when I had my son.married, and financially ready..I definitely don't envy your situation. Although I wish you the best of luck with it! God Bless!
You have your work cut out for you. I struggled when I had my son at 17. I'm 30 now and I am just in my last year of college. I did the wrong thing and dropped out of high school. It took me over 5 years to get my GED. Another year to start college, and I just started my sixth year. I will be graduating next year. No matter what finish school. Be very careful not to get pregnant again like many young girls do. You have your whole life ahead to have more children. Focus on your child and your futures. You can do it.I'm proof that hard work pays off.
i am a teen parent i am 16. he is 2 month old now. it is hard but i have the support of the dad, my family and his, and all my friends and his friends. just take one day at a time and you will do just fine i promise. when you need time to yourself find a babysitter and go out but not all the time.
im not but my mom was 2 my half sister she had her when she was 15
i had my first at 13 second at 15 third at 16 im 18 now and plan on having another in about 4 years.My husband and I are very happy.any questions email me at Najerababy26@aol.com
i myself became a parent at 18, im now 28 and have 4 children, lewis 10, stevie 8, chloe 6 and thomas 3, i glad i had my children while im young as i feel im on a similar wave-length as them and i wouldn't change my life 1 bit (im not saying its easy !! ). i also know quite a few girls around your age that have recently had babies and the majority of them are fabulous mums, i wish you all the best of luck for the future and enjoy your baby while she is young they grow up so fast.
My brother's girlfriend had her first child when she was 15, she takes very good care of her children and with no help from the childs father. She paid for almost everything herself, and now she has 3 kids who are all healthy, and for the most part happy. I help her out a lot, and her oldest stays with his Grandparents because she just had a baby, and it's very challenging for her to take care of all 3 by her self, and my brother is currently getting help for something, so he's not around. It's hard being a teen mom, but just remeber that you should do what's best for your baby, and for you.
im 14 and i have a 5 month old daughter, Jaycee. its really hard. i got pregnant wen i was 13 with a guy who was 15. he stayed around after i told him about the prenancy but he left me wen i was 4 or 5 months pregnant. im raising this baby with the help of my family. he cant pay for much but hes given me and my baby a place to stay. im still going to school and its really hard. my aunt baby-sits while im at school. but im the one who takes care of her for the most part. its really hard and im still getting used to being a mother. i love my baby more then anything in this world and i wouldnt change a thing about my life. its really challenging but looking at her makes everything feel worth it. good luck on being a new mom and i hope ur daughter gives u the same joy mine does!
i was 16 wen i first fell pregnant but i lost it and neva got over it, wen i was 18 i fell pregnant again and im glad it did, i was a lot older than u but it still hit me hard. im a single mum and the father just causes me grief but it was all worth it in the end i have a beautiful daughter and im very proud of her, teen mums may be looked down on and talked down too but dont let it get u down ppl just dont have a very open mind like that bob that answered with the council estate crap they just think they r better wen they really aint. u wont miss out on anything u will just do things the other way round, but trust me its more rewarding to lokk at ur child and know that u raised them than it is to go to the pub and get slaughtered good luck and congratulations, dont let any1 tell u that u made a mistake xxx
Hi. My daughter is 15 and had her surprise baby at age 14.
She has been incredibly balanced throughout the whole experience and not once has given up on her career plans she had before she realised she was pregnant.
I said to her that 'O.K., becoming a mum now isn't exactly what I would have suggested as a good idea, though on the plus side consider that when her friends are starting their families they will also have to contend with work, mortgages or rent, housework, bills, shopping, pets? as well as raise their babies. This way at least my daughter can concentrate on being a fabulous mum that she so naturally is and her school work with a level of support far superior than she would have received if she was 20+. (suport from me).
Another plus is that she has been blessed with the opportunity of having a child when so many others are unable. I was shocked of her pregnancy though I never considered it bad news . . . bad news is when someone dies or becomes seriously ill. It's all about perspective.
If you would like to email my daughter she would love to hear from you. Send me a message through UKQnA.com with your email address and she will send you her email and you two can have a chat.
All the best. x
I am a teacher and there are a couple of girls at the school where I work who have had children. On the whole I would not recommend becoming a mother at such a young age, but I really admire how well these girls have coped.
With the right amount of support and guidance you can do really well. I hope you have the support of your family, and hopefully the baby's father.
I would recommend that you try to continue your education. By the time you are 18, Carmen will be starting school and you will be in a position to get yourself a job. This would be a good thing for you to do as the money would enable you to make sure you and Carmen can afford the things you need. To do this though you will need at least some qualifications, so try your best to get them.
I hope everything goes well for both of you. Don't pay too much attention to criticism. It's the quality of care that a child receives from a parent that is important, not the age of the parent. There are people out there in their 20's and 30's who are doing terrible jobs of raising their children.
Good Luck. x
i am a teen parent. i am 15 and have a 6 month old baby girl called Fenton. it was totally my fault getting pregnant but i luv my daughter sooo much. i think people who slate teen mums are just stupid and have nothing better to do.! good luck with ure baby. x

hi congratulations on the birth of your baby my niece was 16 when she had her wee boy he is almost 1 now and she is the best mother I know I didnt think she could have did it although she has the support of my sister and her dad as well i know it must bee hard on you but if you can go back and finish your schooling it would be better for you and also it would get you a break from the baby even if she is only a month old it is going to be hard on you I hope that you have your parents to support you I wish you all the best whatever you decide and I know in my heart and from your wee letter that you will be a wonderful mum and don't forget they dont stay wee babies for long before you know it she will be going to nursery etc
take care

wow that is very young.
i just hope you can make something of your life and make your child proud of you.
no child wants a mum that does nothing.
all i can suggest is going to school/college as soon as your daughter is at school and make something of your life.
everyone says havin a kid so young is stupid, and lets be honest, it is. but now its up to you to prove everyone wrong and be the best person and mother you can be for yourself and your daughter.
and make sure the dad is contrubiting towards the child, it takes 2 to make it and 2 should be held responcible for looking after it.
and just dont make the same mistake twice. get your self on the pill or the depo or have the inplant (if your old enough) until your a bit older and a bit wiser about the world.
good luck, youre sure gonna need it.

I am just about to become a mother at 17. It has been hard and i have hated being pregnant, but my family have supported me and my partner has helped me out sooo much! If you have a strong family life to begin with i think it makes teenage pregnancy easier, however some people are of the opinion that all teenage mothers are looking to get a house, or are less intelligent than other mothers- this is not true! The thing that frustates me the most is how we are percieved by others when really, it can happen to the most intelligent teens!
Hope you are getting on ok!

Well im not a teen any more i had my son a month before my 20th birthday thats not too bad i know.
Old people still look at me in the street as if im younger or incapable of looking after my son.
Hey i knew if i had my son i would have to look after him thats our decision as woman knowone else should put you down as long as your looking after your child thats all that matters
