it'll be fine you'll have a new friend in a few months anyway!!!

thats a bit out of order if your happy they should be happy for you, maybe there jelous xxx

I think that as long as you and your o/h is happy well then thats all that matters. Congratulations.

It is your lives, you enjoy them the way you see fit! x

I'm sure they're just worried for you. Maybe they don't realise how happy you are about it because when you're young it's hard to know how to react. Some people are happy and others aren't. Maybe you just need to make it clear you're perfectly happy!!

we all adapt our lives one way or another to accomadate a child..everything will be fine, and well...your happy thats all that matters...just ignore your friends you wait until you have had the baby, I am sure they will think differently.

I had Ella when I was 19...and yes my life has probably panned out differently than it would have done if I didnt have her, but I dont care I am much happier with her in our life...so enjoy your pregnancy hun

my hubby decided to tell his best friend that we are expecting however it was really hard for him because theyve been trying for over a year and it only took us a month i bought hubby this book called blokes guide to pregnancy (excellent) it said that different friends will react completly different to the news some jealous some like you say your life is over its all crap its what you and your hubby wanted so its the right decison for you.

anyway big congrats to you both

You're not alone, you have us!

I have nothing to say that hasn't already been said, if you are happy then thats what matters. They'll come round I'm sure

Congratulations on your wonderful news!!!

I had a similar experience to this - when I first told people I was pregnant, a lot of the reactions that I got were "Are you keeping it?" rather than congratulations or anything like that... like being under 20 automatically makes the pregnancy a negative thing and means you'd consider terminating it...

Try to keep your chin up, hun. If the pregnancy wasn't planned, and you were into your studies at uni, your friends have probably just had a big shock and want to make sure you're doing what is best for you (even if they may not understand what that is!) I doubt they meant to hurt you and I bet they'll be really excited once they get used to the idea!

The questions they put to you are worth thinking about in advance, though! Do you have answers to them? These 9 months can go real fast and you wanna make sure you're completely ready when your little bundle of joy arrives

Are you staying at uni? There's a lot of support for parent-students at most uni's - some even have a free cresh - or at the very least you'll be able to get your child care costs reimbursed. You could also get an increased student loan or a grant to help you support your young family while you finish your studies... If you're in the UK, you will qualify for income support as well, which means you can get housing benefit to completey cover the cost of your rent if you decide to rent a place privately or through the council. Look into it anyway, and best of luck with everything in the future!
