I was pregnant at 19/20 and still got funny looks.. im 22 in June and still getting it every so often, so I can imagine it must be dreadful for you. Ignore them, everyone thinks because you are younger that your little one will go without or you will expect everyone else to bail you out. My doctor said to my mum "you will do well, with help from your mum" - how rude?? I don't even live with my mum or depend on her AT ALL, cheeky git.
Im sure you will spoil your little one rotten, ignore them and if anyone is rude just give them a taste of their own medicine.

Congrats on your baby. People will always have their 2 cents on everyone elses lives regardless of whether or not they know the facts. Stay strong hunny... us teen mums do just fine :-)

I am going to be 23 in April, I work full time as a secretary , but i am still waiting for a council flat I am in a b&b at the moment because I just cannot afford to rent privately its toooo expensive I wouldnt be able to live.

People shouldnt be so quick to judge that is the problem in England we are too judgemental when we dont even know everything about the person.

I know how you feel I had my daughter when I was 15. One night I even went to the hospital when I was 3 months preggers and the nurse asked my when mlp was and she said is it usual for it to be late. I said no Im pregnant she turned to my mom and said did you have a talk with her? what the hell kind of talk was my mom supposed to have to late right?? I am now 16 and 9 months pregnant due April 1st!!!!! My family loves me regardless but people are still shocked when I say im 16. I am in high school and going to get a job after delivery. I am a single mother and I want to be strong and independent for my kids. Remember your babies are not mistakes they are blessing and bring you joy. Don't let other people get you down. Stay Strong

There is nothing wron, I'm sure you are a good mom and that's the most important thing. So don't worry and if they don't like that you are a teen mom (just because you age says TEEN), send them to hell, don't let them take you down.
