Hun dont worry about it. I'll be 21 in 2 months, and just had my first. Luckily my friends were really supportive, but family was a bit nervous. Me and DH dont like to party, we did all of that already. We both have good jobs and go to school. He is graduating college this month. We got past the whole party and crazy scene a while ago, and before we even got pregnant, we stayed at home most nights. While being pregnant, not much changed. Now I do see my friends less, but they are still my friends. I spend my days with my beautiful daughter and I'm happier than I ever have been in my life. Being a mom is never going to be easy, no matter what age. If you are fine with giving up the lifestyle of a young person with no responsibility, then more power to you. I think that every young woman who gets pregnant and decides to keep their child is incredibly brave, and I dont understand why anyone says negative things.

Congrats on your pregnancy, and if your friend wants to be a jerk, hes not a true friend.

Ah, that's one of the mysteries of the world to me, same with the question 'when did it become socially acceptable to just throw out your children?'. I do hope you made a snarky remark back, damn I would have put him in his right mind!

How dare he or anyone else judge you by their own phase in life? Yes you may be young but your not some silly little 12, 13, 14 ect yr old who is looking at life through rose tinted glasses. I would tell him to if he hasn't got anything nice to say to shut the hell up. Me and DH are telling people from today starting with our parents after I've been to the DR's to confirm it. I'm lucky that all my friends are the same age as me 33 and have familes already so, I'm one of the last to start.

my God I woulda punched him in the mood i've been in recently!! lol. As I say and as many of the girls say, it's your life and if you love the baby what more do you need, sure money and a house and a car and a 30k a year job would be nice..... but hey in this day and age like thats gonna happen to us youngies!! I always wanted a family and I was always going to put family before carear. I think its much easier to have a kid then find a good job rather than find a good job then try for a kid tbh, It could be years before we are in the "right place" for a baby and by then maybe my body wouldnt want me to have a bubah ... things happen for a reason and I think providing I can look after it and be a nice mummy, my baby will be a decent human being and what is wrong with that?

OMG thats so rude!!

I hate the way people feel the need to judge others!!

Dont listen to people like that, you know things would be different if the boot was on the other foot

Actually most of my friends are fine with it. Here, it is perfectly acceptable and normal to start a family at age 20. I believe I read some demographics in the paper and the average age to have a first child was 22, and I will be 21 before the baby is born. My best friend is pregnant too, and loads of my other friends have kids already. We just live in a place where settling down when you're young is the norm. This friend wasn't from where I'm from, he's from away so I guess he just doesn't understand.

My main issue is why do people think its alright to open their mouths freely when someone is pregnant? I mean, before you're pregnant, who is going to come up to you and tell you that you're huge or that you're not living your life correctly? Who is going to have enough balls to say that you're doing things wrong? Nobody. Or very few at least. It just seems like its the norm to just open your mouth without thinking when you see a pregnant person. It just drives me crazy.

Actually, alot of my friends are getting married and having babies. I didn't expect to be joining them but I still don't think you can assume none of her friends are getting married or having babies just because she's young.

its ur life hunny go for it least your young enough to do every thing with your baby like i was i started having babies at 16 i never regret it dont let ppl put you down ur 20 not 16 i think ur old enough to have a baby xx

I think you made a very brave decision in keeping your baby and I don't think anyone who thinks differently has EVER been in that situation.
