Respect for teen mums.

I've always had a big respect for teen mums. I can't imagine the struggles and prejudice you face. I look very young for my age. I'm 22 but look about 15/16. Since I've been pregnant, I've been disgusted at how medical professionals, strangers, store workers etc treat me until I say "My husband is excited" or they ask my age. I can't believe I can go from being treated so badly to being treated like a normal pregnant woman so quickly. I have respect from a new perspective and I really hope not every young girl has to face this when pregnancy is hard enough.

Edit to add: I'm not saying I support teens 13+ in deciding to ttc. I just mean I'm finding pregnancy a learning curve in my 20s despite being financially stable, owning a home, being married etc. Picturing myself as a 17 year old or younger, if I found myself in the situation of being pregnant I would have no idea how to handle it. That's why I have respect for teen mums that go "Well, I'll just have to figure it out" and they do a great job facing those struggles.
