I just need to have a little rant, its about my family. I have 3 older sisters, I’m the youngest. I’m about to be 19 years old and just recently found out I’m pregnant with my second baby. I had my first baby when i was 16 years old (I know, definitely not an ideal situation). I got the IUD right after i had my first baby, but ever since i got it, it gave me the worst cramps and uncomfortable pains. Not too long ago i went to my OB and they suggested that i get it taken out and try a different birth control, but i would have to wait until the next appointment which was in the next 3 months. So just yesterday, i found out i was pregnant so of course i had to tell my family.

I told my oldest sister first because my mom passed away when i was 6, so she was my mother figure. Of course she was disappointed, like who wouldn’t be? 2 kids at 19? Its all too much. Every other family member was supportive. What really bothers me is I’m not the first “teen mom” in my family. But I was the one out of the family seen as a screw up. One of my sisters had her first baby at 17, then had her second at 19, but was congratulated and given nothing but love. When it came to me, it was absolutely horrible. My second pregnancy was NOT planned, but everyone is treating it like it was. Getting pregnant a second time and hearing the disappointment in their voices really made me cry, and it made me cry even more to think about how every other teen mom in my family was never treated like this and it was always positive for them. I could really use some support right now.
