I'm only 19 and 2 months pregnant. I am so scared and worried about the next 9 months, plus the rest of my life now and it is stressing me out a lot. Even though I have a lot of support from my boyfriend and his family and some of my family, I can't help but stress and over think things. I keep getting told that stress isn't good during pregnancy but I don't know how to keep calm at the moment!
 
I just turned 19, 3 weeks ago. I just had my daughter two weeks ago. I was 18 when I got pregnant & even though I was married for a year already & with him for 3 I was quite scared. I think it's natural to stress but try and go with the flow. You have an amazing little baby growing inside of you. Try and focus on that. It won't be easy but you will love it. Being a mummy is such a lovely feeling :)
 
It's natural to be scared when you find out you are pregnant as it's such a massive life changing event. I was 39 when i found out I was expecting my first (she was planned) and I was still terrified. LO is now a year old and I still get moments of panic when I think about all the years of responsibility ahead of me but I wouldn't change a thing.

The most important things is that you have a lot of support which is so important no matter what age you are. You'll be fine!!
 
Im 27 married with my own house and a stable job and im scared
Lol
It's normal
Its a life changing event! But one i bet you wouldn't change once theyre here x
 
First of all Congratulations.
Honestly don't panic, I was 19 when I fell pregnant with my daughter, 20 when I had her.
I now have an amazing 3 year old best friend. She's fantastic and very intelligent. I'm now close to my Due date with my second, I think it's great being able to grow with your children, and hopefully they will still want to socialise with me when they are older and we can enjoy things together! ( although I don't think age should come in the way of this ).
I now have a bought house, am a manager in my job and have settled very well, I did think I would struggle to achieve things being a young mum but in fact it gave me more motivation and drive.
Age doesn't matter when becoming a parent, Patience, care, love and sensibility does, you'll be fab hun !
Enjoy your pregnancy xxxx
 
Thank you so much! Also, congratulations and good luck! xxxx
 
Congratulations from another young (and also pretty scared) mum to be!! I'm 20 and 15 weeks pregnant, I was terrified when I first found out and had no clue how I was going to cope. So I wrote down everything that was worrying me and sorted through those worries one at a time. Don't think about the future too much and enjoy being pregnant! Everything will sort its self out :) xx
 
I feel old now and Im only 24.

I had my first baby at 21, and having loads of friends of all ages whov had babies - Its not age that makes a good mum, so dont panic.

Good luck xxx

I think it's scary no matter what your age. I'm 33 and often terrified. I know lots of people who had babies at your age an now they have amazingly happy children/teenagers. Just take it a day at a time, we'll all be amazing. :)
 
I'm 22, had my little boy a month before I turned 22. It's exhausting, scary, exciting but so rewarding. You'll do just great :)
 
I'm 24 and expecting my second. I was 22 when pg with ds, had just graduated when I fell pregnant and 23 when I had him. Hubby was 19 when we fell pg with ds, is 21 now and still has 1 more year of uni left.

I will be honest and say it has been really hard because he wasn't in any way ready for children. We've had a very difficult 18 months (made worse by uni pressures I think) but now he is an amazing father and I'm so proud of him. I think age was some influence for him but it wasn't the only one, family and uni were the more predominant ones.

Anyway, my point is being young is no indication of parenting - you can be a great parent no matter what your age!

As an aside, I didn't realise how many younger mums were on the forum!
