Young mom??

Question

Okay so this has been bugging me for some time. I had my first son when I was 22 and now I’m pregnant again at 24. I feel like I’m too old to relate to the “young mom” group and then to the 27+ year old moms I’m looked at as a baby??? What are 23-26 year old moms called? Just because a mom is young doesn’t mean they haven’t struggled or had difficulties in ttc or past/current pregnancies and just because a mom waited a bit doesn’t mean she’s having a geriatric pregnancy?? I’ve seen groups that are 21 and under or 30+ and it’s like why can’t we all journey together??? So many questions sorry I’m pregnant and emotional and upset and lonely

Answer

I'm 33 and really have a hard time relating to 20, 21... year olds.
There's so much petty drama! I saw a post about a girl fighting with her boyfriend over $40 or is.mad that her mom's cat is coming in her room... I know ppl get lumped together and not all 21 year olds are immature & petty but in general I don't have anything in common with these girls.
it's not personal, it's just different stages of life.

Answer

I’m 24. Military wife. My family lives 11 hours away. Don’t have many friends because we just moved here, so I can relate to feeling lonely and it’s definitely hard. But just remember our past nor our current circumstances define who we are as people. 
Who cares how old you are- you are just a mom! I hate joining age grouped groups anyway- all it does is make you feel like you can relate to a specific age group, but as people we are so much more than that. I know people who are 30 who act 16 and are having their first baby, but I know 21 year old moms that are more mature and having their second. Don’t let it bum you out. It’s not a huge deal. You are simply a mom. Thats the only label that matters in the end.

Answer

I’m 25 going on my third baby.. I still have a hard time relating even though I had my first at 18 and now being 25 I feel even more alone through it all.. I’ll be your friend!

Answer

I think it’s okay to have groups for moms who are on the older or younger end of the spectrum. I’m 35 and just had my second, so some of my perspectives and concerns are different from someone who is pregnant at 18 or 19. Not better or worse, just different. 
I’d read through any group that you feel you might relate to and join the ones that make sense to you.

Answer

At 24 I think you fit in with the ‘young moms’ group
