My baby at 9 weeks. I’m feeling overwhelmed and nervous about the whole process especially birth. I’m 19 and my boyfriend is heavily involved and thankfully has been very supportive. My family is more exited than i am. Any advice for a teen mom?

Question

Answer

I was 17 when I found out and 18 when I gave birth. I'm now 21 expecting my second baby. I loved being a teen mum and I love being a young mum. I still understand everything. My mum was 31 when she had me and shes never understood anything. We weren't and still aren't close at all. Whereas my partners mum was 17 when she had him, and his mum, his dad and him are still very close. Dont worry about age. I'm not with my sons dad, but we are both mature enough about it. I love how he depends on me, every day. And every day says he loves me, and cuddles me. It's so worth every second. And because you are young, when you're 40 or 50 and want to go away on holiday. Your child will be old enough to take care of themselves. My son started school and how many young mums are there is amazing! I love every second of being his mum. Embrace it!

Answer

Hi! I dont have any advice, I'm a first time mom as well. I'm 10 years older than you and while I can say that some things do change with age, the thing that matters most is love from a supportive family. We all have ups and downs of different hardships, but having people in your corner cheering for is the most priceless thing ever. Congratulations!
