I'm 17 at the moment and nearly 21 weeks. I think that if you honestly know what you want and you know the consequences because what you want might not turn out how you want it to, then go for it. But always think ahead it might be bit of a pain but at least you'll be ready for whatever comes at you. Good Luck xxx

Heya Klaire, i'm 16 + 29 weeks pregnant. this pregnancy has been so hard because i didn't have the support i wished i had but if your sure your ready for that, then seriously good luck!

don't let any one put you down or bad mouth you, which you will get weather your TTC or Pregnant because its hard when your 16 because of the amount of bad publicity is said about young mums. we have to prove them wrong and if your ready to take it on well i know your stronger than people think.

good luck!

think about next year on in 2 years time wen all ur m8s are jettin off to places like malia, zante or other club islands..i no all of my m8s are lookin foward to that this summer, while im goin to have to stay at home at miss out on it. when u have a baby, u wont be able to leave ur baby for days or weeks at a time when u want a relaxing break with friends or ur bf, ur basically completly attatched to it for the next 18 or so years. im 17 and im missing out so much, my class is going to hollywood next year on a school trip and i really dont think ill be able to go. its ur decision, but ur life hasnt even started yet, u just dont realise that yet. there really is so much to look foward to, maybe u should think more about where u want to be in a few years time. u will never be completly free to do whatever u want, u have to be really selfless when u have a kid and be prepared to always put them first. i dont think anyone deserves such a huge responsibility at such a young age x

hey babe. How did you get your own place at 16? Thats good going if you have, thats me presuming that you must have...and a full time job too? Both you and your fella? You got money set aside for baby?

I was 15 when I met a lovely guy, we fell in love and at 16 I thought i 'wanted' his baby. Then at 17 (3 years later we split up)
If i had his child i dunno what id have done, id be tied to him forever whether i liked it or not. At 16 you are determined that ''he is the love of your life'' etc, and for some people it genuinely is, i know people still together from 16, but quite often, it just does not work out.
get a job, get a home, baby sit- and then make a decison.
I wish you luck, and truley hope you dont make a wrong decision.

-dont take the tax payers money as a way to cope.

Good luck babe

Arrghhhhh!!! Why do young girls do this!!!!

It always begs the question " what do your parents think" of this stupid idea???

At 16 you get pregnant by mistake, you don't plan it!! What do you have to offer this baby?? What will you teach it??? Where will you live?? How will you support yourself???

Yes, i sound like a bitch, but at the end of the day this is a whim and as soon as your friends start going out and you are staying home with stinky nappies, you will realise just how daft the whole idea is!

Yes, this is harsh, but true! from 20 - 30 you change emmensely and you are not even at this stage yet!

Wait, get some life experience and a life long partner and go for it! Don't make a mistake which will alter your life forever!!!

Good luck

This is going to sound hypocritical (as I'm 18 and pregnant) but having a baby when you're a teenager is NOT easy. It's painful, it's uncomfortable, it changes your body completely and you aren't ready (no matter how many times people say "you can do this"). Are you ready to be judged by every person you pass in the street? Babies aren't cheap either. Have you finished school? Have you decided what you want to do with your life or is this it, you're just going to be a mum and nothing else? Jesus christ, if I hadn't had gotten pregnant by accident I'd be looking forward to my career and getting myself stable before I had a baby. I'm doing the best with the hand I've been dealt right now but you could go to college, do amazing things, and be able to give a child EVERYTHING one day.

Rachel, people aren't judging her for becoming a teenage mum they're judging her for wanting to be one. Would you honestly be pregnant now if you had been given the choice?
