Do not let anyone make you feel like you can't do this. Your body is making something so precious for you to look after and if your body can do that, imagine what your brain and soul can do for that little person. You're going to be brilliant, just like every other mum (well most of them). You will cope because you have to. You will give your LO everything you can. And although we don't appreciate things when we're little, I couldn't appreciate what people around me have done for me more than I do now.

You will be brilliant because you care.

Hey, I was brought up by a single mom who was on disability for most of my upbringing. It was tough financially, but the values and morals instilled in me far outweigh the material gains.

You will be a good mom!

I was only just 20 when I had my first. She was planned and my Mum wasnt over the moon - she was a young Mum and knew that it can be tough at times depending on your circumstances.
Emily was 2 when I got divorced from her father. I spent the next 8 yrs a single Mum and at times it was very hard, I wont lie to you. Her father gave me no financial support whatsoever. He rarely bothered with her and to this day is useless TBH. But who you are is what counts not what age you are or what you have. I am a very determind person and I decided what I wanted for us and went for it. I made a career, bought my own house in a lovely part of town, bought a nice car and put Emily through private school. She has never wanted for anything and everyone always compliments me on what a well rounded girl she is and how I can be very proud of her. I am equally as proud of me. We have had a great life and I am in a better position now than I was then. I now have a husband who is also a great step dad too. But even if we had nothing I know I'd still give my children all the love in the world and at the end of the day - what better thing can you give a child??

My mum brought me up as a single 16 year old mum and we struggled big big time for money, but i never went without my mum always made sure of that and ive turned out fine.

You can only do your best for your LO as can everyone else!!

You'll be a great mum dont worry

moneys not everything. All the love, support and attention you can offer your LO is worth more than all the money in the world.
Material things are worth nothing to a baby!!
I was 20 when i had my first, and by the time i was 23 i had 3, and i can honestly say they are very happy kids. I've read some of your posts, and you sound like a very intelligent young woman, with your head well screwed on. Ignore what other people say, and enjoy your pregnancy, because i'm sur you'll make a fantastic mother!

If you think you can do it then you can do it! I am sure you will make an amazing mother. You clearly love your child. Best of luck.

Awww hunny its rubbish, there are so many children who are born to families who can give them everything but they dont get the basics, my step brothers and sisters, they had the ability to be given anything but they got bugger all. If you think you can give your child a good life then you shouldnt worry what people think. The best thing they can get is love.
