Hi, I'm 18 too and trying to concieve my first.
I really don't like the fact teenage parents are shunned either.
It really needs to change, because teenagers are just as capable, and sometimes there better than some of the other parents out there.

Hi ya, I'm 18 (19 soon) and am TTC with my OH of over 3 years. They do make us teenagers look bad coz of the few who don't look after their children properly or get pregnant for the wrong reasons. Some of us have stable relationships and feel ready for that commitment. All the power to us.
I'm 16, and my oh and i are planning to have a baby. Were financially capable of doing so, i work in a nursery, he works at bmw, were in a stable, loving relationship, we have our own flat ... i just hope people don't judge us.
i hope no either but they probably will anyway I an't even buy prenatals without some arse commenting on it.
*GRRRRR* Sorry i'm such a ray of sunshine this morning. I had a terrible dream that I killed a baby hamster (I don't even have one) but then again, I had one last night about my left eyebrow being a mess so who the hell knows what I'm thinking about? lol
Don't listen to anyone. They don't know you or your SO so they have no right to judge (they don't even if they DO know you guys) just ignore them--or be really nice to them--nothing pisses mean people off more than that
Hello! I am 18 and have been with my partner for 2 and a half years. We live together and are plannign on getting married in the near future. We unfortunately experienced a miscarriage in January and since then we have been trying to conceive. I found out a couple of days ago (4 days before AF was due!!) that I am pregnant again.
I can totally understand how you feel about people being judgemental about planned young pregnancies but if you are in a stable relationship and can support a family, why not?? Plenty of older people have children when they are not in a stable relationship and cannot provide for the child but they do not get as judged as we do. I am only 3 weeks and 6 days pregnant but I am praying that our little bean will make it 'til the end this time. I wish you lots and lots of luck!!
Hello, (new here lol random first post i know ) unfortunately is down to a minority, and people always prefer to pick at the negative rather then the positive. For example i was recently working with a girl only for a short time (thank god) and every night all she would do was brag about how she had her first kid at 16, was trying for another one now (currently 1 and was listing all the benefits and grants she could get per child if she had say 3 children she would earn more a week then she would from going to work, and then went on to brag about how she was " ripping off the system", up until that day i thought those "kind of people" were a myth but its because of people like that young parents get a bad name, anyways .. good luck my friend (1 was trying for a year and now to her shock shes is expecting her 2nd and 3rd babies in April. Im currently 25 weeks pregnant with my first and im terrified ! gosh!! and yes mostly of just what ova people will think of me, luckily for me so far im barely showing, even tho im in a stable relationship we have our own house and both work, im afraid of being prejudged .. (was unplanned btw)
I an't even buy prenatals without some arse commenting on it.
