I'm 20 and I just found I'm pregnant. I didn't know I wanted this but now that I know I am.. I'm really excited for this. Also scared. I don't have a career yet, have a regular low paying job. Was considering going back to school until I found out I was pregnant. I know I can do this I just feel many women wouldn't do this so young and unprepared..
You'll find a way. Don't listen to the negativity, while it may be difficult it will also be rewarding, joyful and strengthening. Nobody is truly 'ready' to be a parent until they become one and get down to it...there's no magic formula, age or time where it's perfect to have a child. You're pregnant now, you want your baby and you'll make it work.
Damn, good luck. my sister did it. the guy was a loser. her life is ruined. they turned to meth now i dont know where she is. :(
You'll get through it, don't worry, and don't listen to all the negative comments here that hint at you terminating the life of your child.
Just take each day at a time. You are bringing a new human being into the world. It's going to be your daughter ... or your son and you are going to be part of each others'lives for a long time to come.
Human beings have been giving birth to humans at much younger ages than you for time immemorial. Stay strong. Good luck!
I'd do it. If I were in your situation. Go for it. Believe in yourself. I'm rooting for you. I think that is super exciting.
You better have a lot of fucking support, from your family and whoever the father is
to be a responsible parent you should be prepared to support your child emotionally and financially, and without a good job or partner it can be hard to do that.
Sounds as though you are going to have a tough road. An 18 year commitment to house feed, educate and care for another human being without the tools to insure the child's welfare. Are you sure this is the best thing for both of you?
20 is WAYYYY too young. You won't even be able to drink at your own wedding!!!
Well, I believe it takes a special person to make it when you don't know how. You will have to grow up quick. It's a big risk, but if you never take risks in your life, you won't ever be satisfied or have a very gratifying life. It is scary, but it will make you a better person in the end if you go through with it. Good luck.
