ummm...ok i was just telling all the women that they could stop bickering about the poor girls age she prolly wasnt even reading their posts anyway....and by the way i was pregnant at 19...and my lil sis had her baby when she was 16...i have nothing against age and pregnancy....just as long as the child is able to be taken care of...is what counts....
1. My sister was pregnant by 15. I by 17. 2. her baby is healthy beautiful and one of the best thing that could happen to our family. 3. those of you who are sad fur us "young dumb girls" are no offense but dumb Don't give pitty give smiles. I you that give pitty to us your old i'll have more time with my baby before i croak but than again no offense it just makes me so mad.
im not sure she is prego any more this pic has been up since 06......that would be an awfull long pregnancy....and i wouldnt want to be her!!!!lol
ok so im a little behind but as im reading down these comments, i got so angry! I am 18 years old, and i am 6 weeks pregnant today, the daddy is 17, and we have been engaged for about 3 months. There is ABSOLUTLY nothing wrong with teen pregnancies....at all. I am just as capable to go out and get a job and support my baby and myself, even without the help of my fiance' but with him working to we are doing JUST fine. no im not on cash assistance, and all that, i qualified for medicade and wic. thats all im useing, and my baby sure as hell isnt going without. so shayna your 'tax' money isnt going to my family and our baby any more than what everyone elses tax dollars went to YOU when you were pregnant.
Kassidy i think you are absolutly gorgeous, and this picture is amazing. good luck to you and your baby =)
kassidy you are beautiful and your baby is gunna be precious! age has nothing to do of how good of a parent you are! im 18 and 4 weeks pregnant with my first.
Kassidy, you look beautiful. Don't let peoples negative feedback and insults get you down. Your gonna be a beautiful, great mommy. :D
just because your young doesn't mean you are any less capable to look after your child. i am 20 pregnant with my second my husband and i have been married for 2 years and our first born is 8 months old.
Dont judge you dont know the story, she could be in a VERY committed relationship, she could've been trying for this miracle, and here you are judging her when you dont even know her!
why is everyone complaining about someone being a teenage mom i mean im 19 im prego(35 weeks 1day yay) im maried and im not on any of that stuff maybe this girl will be able to take care of her child but you guys dont think about that you think that becouse shes younge and shes pregnant she has to be on wic and welfare and all of that but your wronge my friend had her daughter at 15 and she is not on all of that besides wtf dose it have to do with your taxes oh yes your taxes do go to it but not specificaly to this teen mom i mean for god sake her parents pay taxes too so when i see teen moms like her if they are on welfare its not the bimbos out there bitching about their tax money that shes getting in my eyes its just her parents makes sense to me shes just getting back her parents money from the government i mean in all honesty if the people who hate teen pregnancy ran the counrty i would have been forced to have an abortion 35 weeks ago and thats a messed up thing to think about and for what ever your name is shayna or what ever serriously dude your 24 you have two kids thats still pretty damn young too and how old were you when you had number one 17 ??? serriously ive seen more sluts on vh1 reality shows then i have in my high school and the girls on the reality shows are like 23-27 right ....teen pregnancy is not an eppidemic its what happens when a mommy and a daddy love each other verry much then they do a special hug..lol its not some fing virus that you can prevent fully yes they can choose to remaine abstenint but some teens will have sex some teens may even be date raped and wind up pregnant but anyway you look at it as long as teens are out there having sex there will be a few that pop out a kid they can take procausions but they might not work condoms break..the pill may not kick in fast enough if at all. so i think the complainers need to just get used to it cuz i mean what are they honestly gonna do if their daughter winds up pregnant or if their son gets a girl pregnant in all reality once that baby winds up here no matter the mother and fathers age his or her grandparents will still love it and still do everything to help .thats the case with almost every teen pregnancy they hate the idea till they hold it then they are all awwwwww let me just hold him a bit longer ...sorry im rambling lol
kassidy pregnancy is wonderful and beautiful and this is a verry nice picture of you in your first trimester your glowing mama lol
First off, Welcome to America! where were all free to do whatever we like as long as it doesnt break the law! And no matter what, you will always have to pay taxes no matter what.. hey guess what I pay taxes too! You don't here me bitching and complaining just because a teenage girl got pregnant and cant financially support the kid. Theres alot of things I would like to see my hard earned money going to... like fixing michigan's roads, and building better schools and safe havens for the little ones! But I would rather my hard tax money go to supporting a teenage mother with medicaide and wic, then a prison house where a bunch of nobody criminals live for free. Where they have hot showers, 3 meals a day, and a place to sleep... I would much rather my money go to the babies! But guess what shayna... we dont always get what we want! You called out unwed teenage mothers? Or you know just teenage mothers in general??? Guess what shayna... Im a 19 yr old mother to be... but hey Im married. I have a job, I have my own place t live. I live in michigan, my family lives in florida... I have alot! But I still need medicaide to help pay for my baby... if you dont like the fact that your tax money is going to people like me... oh well... get the FU*K out of america then!!!
Thats my argument,
This is a beautiful picture of a beautiful teenage mother... and you dont even know her story, yet you pass judgement just because shes young looking! You dont know if shes getting help or not... you dont know shit about her... yet you still pass judgement... now that right there, what does that say about you? the fact that your just a bitch!
my daughter is in school and i care for my son during the day ... just because your young doesnt mean you won't be a good MOTHER!
BEAUTIFUL pic congrats on the pregnancy... and as for those giving negative comments there is absolutely nothing wrong with being a young mother... i am 21 and have 2 beautiful kids.. my daughter is 5! and my son will b 2 in august and i love them both dearly and i might b pregnant now...
Why!!!!!!!!!?????? why is it that each page i see, the same person leaving negative comments!!? yes, she may be young. yes she may be having to get help from the state or government, but i see 40 and 50 year old people not wanting to work when able to work getting help. so why is it different when we have to lend a hand to a young mom? im on wic. im on foodstamps. sometimes we don't have our millions to help us each year. so therefore, please, do not go bringing this pretty mommy down. and just because a teenager had sex with her b/f of 2 or 3 years, doesn't mean she's a slut. a slut is one who sleeps with alot of guys. not one!!! get the dictionary. and besides....it drives me nuts how all you women are so critical!!!! grow up!!!!! kassidy....congrats on your pregnancy. you look beautiful and take all the help you can not just for you, but for baby too!!!
Im new im 17 & 5 weeks preg. & think your pic is cute...& dont let that old head lower your spirit god gives gifts to people for a reason. im happy 4 you
Do what you want,don't let ignorant jealous people get to you!
listen dont mind the people who are
dissing you, just because your
pregnant, dont let it bother
you, honestly. its not worth it.
i think this is beautiful. And you know what? Screw everyone dissing you. its your body, do with it what you want. Im 20, and pregnant with my 3rd. I got pregnant with my first at 17, had him at 18, got pregnant with my second at 18 had her at 19, and got pregnant with this one when i was 19, and am gonna have him/her in april. I have a house with my husband, no wic medicaid or anything, but you know what? Before we got on our feet I did, but im not ashamed of it. It helped us, and now were giving back. We go to wic offices and drop off baby food and diapers and everything, and we help them out. thats what that help is there for. So, if you need it, go get it.
Congratulations! I wish you a beautiful pregnancy, safe delivery and a healthy baby!
I was 20 when I found out I was pregnant with my first. I got all kinds of negitive shit thrown my way and I never let it bother me because I was happy and I loved my baby and I was thanking God for his blessings and this tiny life he had given me. Dont let other ppls hang ups get to you!
Your picture is beautiful!
To kiera...you know seriously young or not, a mother is a mother, whether she receives help or not. You know what...people like you are what make America such a bad place. Honestly. Who knows it may be your child who gets a girl pregnant and leaves her behind because of how you make him feel. Or vice versa...your daughter may get pregnant and because of your opinionated mindset of teenage "sluts" she may feel a force to have an abortion and regret it the rest of her life...and the guilt is on you. Get your head out of your a**.
good god, can you all please stfu about young parenting and arguing about it.. who seriously gives a shit, shes pregnant and theres no changing that whether shes 16 or 26. Sure a 16 yr old can love a child as much as a 20 yr old can, supporting, they will most likely need help from parents/guardians or others who pay taxes for welfare checks that they need (thank god for wick), if you have nothing nice to say or something atleast TRUE and not flat out mean, then don't say anything.
I agree w/ the first comment. Sorry, but I do think it's sad. 95% of teens cannot afford to be pregnant or have kids...I end up paying for them in my taxes. Here I am, 24 married w/ my second child on the way. My husband and I work and pay for everything ourselves, no WIC, no parental help, no government assistance. We work hard for what he have yet every day some stupid teenage slut decides she can't keep her legs close and then I get to pay for her pregnancy. Which will in tern result in me having to pay for the kid to go school, receive medical care and all that other crap that stupid people get for free when they cannot afford their kids.
After reading some comments, being my nosey self, what I don't get is how people say it is not a horrible thing to say. She's young, shit happens. Being 14 and pregnant, 16-18 pregnant, or 25 and pregnant, married and pregnant, single and pregnant, it's all the same. No one is ever fully ready and no one is ever the right age. There is no right age to pregnancy! How can it be so beautiful of a 26 year old to be pregnant but be a shame of a 17 year old? A mother in high school would have the SAME amount of time with her child as a mother working 9-5. A mother who graduated wouldn't love her baby any more or be a better mother than one who dropped out. I'm 16 and I know for a fact that I will be a DAMN good mother. You look beautiful hun, I'm truly happy for you.
may god bless your baby. :]
OMG!!!! That pic is BEAUTIFUL... =')
Im 19 yrs old, and i found i was pregnant one day after my 19's b-day...Right now i have 12 weeks almost 13.
Something that really get my attention, was your point of view on this situation...I love your attitude...
Im so nervous...It was an unexpected step in my life, i was just starting college, but only with know the hapiness of being a mommy its enough for me...I hope you have gone well on your due, Its was a boy or a girl???!!
Congrats for all the mommys...and good luck!
LOVE MACKENZIE (L)
and hedi. i am four weeks and starting to show. just a little poofyness but its still there, you show sooner with your second or third child. plus it depends on your body, just because you might not have does not mean that another womans body wont. it depends on how fast your uterus grows.
wow, there are so many good arguments here. i started trying to get pregnant at 18, i was told it is now or never. we did the whole lot of fertility drugs and were that the invtro step when we got divorced and i joined the air force. alittle over a year later i found out i was pregnant, unfortunatley it was the day i signed my second set of divorce papers from a husband that was abusive. i stayed on active duty as a single mom. when my son was 18 months old they diagnosed him with cerebral palsy. now he is 5 years old and i am married to the most wonderful man. we have been together for the better part of 4 years (when we were not seperated due to the air force)and married since august. we just found out that i am bout 4 weeks pregnant. i am 27 and he is 30. we were looking for the fight to get pregnant like i had before but i guess this one was ment to be because we only tried for 4 months.
it does not matter how old you are. would i be happy if my 16 year old got pregnant, no, not really, i would support her though.
if you are mature enough to raise the baby, put its needs first, get your education, not mouch off the system and take care of it. more power to you, be careful and take care of your self. to many young girls get in the baby trap and end up having mutiple babies from mutiple dads or not knowing who the dad is, want better for your self and your child.
make something out of your self despite the negative stigma that society puts on young mothers. when i graduated school in '98 we had 2 pregnant women walk and 2 that already had babies. they all finished their educations and made something of their selves.
Kassidy,
I just wanted to say that you look great and I got pregnant at 18 and I'm now 22 and expecting my second. Everyone has something to say on teen pregnancy, but don't stress about it. There are plenty of great (and horrible) mothers of all ages. Just take care of yourself and your baby and you'll be fine. Good luck :)
I am 20 years old and every single person that I told I was pegnant with my son was not tellin me CONGRATS, lol, i'll tell you that much! I had my son and now my boyfriend and I are expecting another one, well...two more acctually! My son is now 10 months. This was not planned, expecially there being two instead of only one.
Unfortunatly it was hard to stay excited once I finally did start getting excited because everytime I would tell someone I would get the SAME DAMN reaction...from EVERYONE!....."Oh no! What are you gonna do!?" "Ryley's only 10 months old now! Why would you go and get pregnant again!" "Oh my god!" and then when I told them that there was two instead of one it was even worse. My boyfriend, my mom and my boyfriends parents are the only people who are even excited for us.
What I guess I'm trying to get at. Is that it doesn't matter if you're 17 or 20. If you have a baby at any age under 30....then you're going to risk being critisized. I'll be celebrating my 21st birthday huge preggers....lol....karma anyone? lol
I wish all you ladies a happy healthy pregnancy!
April
Ryley
&
Babies!
Can anybody tell me how they told their parents and how they reacted? I'm afraid mine will be very angry, as I still live with them! Any comments, thoughts, advice truely appreciated!!! Thanks!!!
Your so beautiful! im about 4 weeks and im 13 goin on 14 i know ppl are like that to young to be having a baby but its great to know that ur gonna be a mommy! i personally cant wait till i have him or her me and my bf are excited and i wish u luck.
Reading these comment makes me feel. Releif. Im having my first child and i am 14. Young i know. But it was an accident. I wouldnt really call it a mistake.I'm 12 weeks old. And very happy. I cant wait to find out what i am having. Everything happend for a reason.
The first comment was so prejudice! I am married, 39 with 2 beautiful teenaged daughters and ACCIDENTALLY pregnant with my 3rd! We are sooooo happy. Not all accidental pregnancies are a negative thing. AND they don't only happen to unmarried young girls.
i'm 19 and pregnant and happy as hell. to all those people who think being young and pregnant is so terrible, look at it this way. whether i have a baby now or in 5 years i'll never be any richer than i am now and at least i am young and can enjoy my child for a long, long time. nothing wrong with having a baby, they're the best blessing in the world. why complain about age when there are people all over the world that would give anything for a miracle like a baby and can't have one. so you show off that preggo belly hunny. and to all you with a problem with us young mommies, screw you!
congrats... u look great , im young too i jus turned 17 n im 22wks pregnant... n im so happy ... the first person above dont even mind her, not every young person gets pregnant im still young but im proud to show off n say wat im havin at my age that i jus tured 17...
I think you will be a good Mom. I was only 16 when I found out I was going to have a daughter. Since then I've been married for 5 years and have two other children and one more on the way. Ignore all of the people who want to talk down on you. They just don't have anything better to do.
awww u have a tummy like mine...how cute..im 18 and pregnant with my first and scared out of my mind but me and my finace where trying for one...i figure the younger u have them the more time to urself and ur hubby when ur older!!! and if anyone have yahoo messenger plz add me...i have LOTS of questions...sexy_lil_soul@yahoo.com or my MSN is hockeyhotte312008@hotmail.com!!
my babys father doesnt know (neither does his girlfriend lol) because i dont know how to tell him.. i havent sopken to him in 14 weeks and 4 days, and when i do, he'll be in for a surprise ;)
I am 5 weeks and i don't even show yet. I wish i had a little belly like that!! Congrats and have a happy pregnancy!
You look beautiful and sad... but don't worry babies are wonderful.. I had my daughter when I was 17.. my husband and I have no been married for 4 years HAPPILY and we have a wonderful 3(almost 4) year old daughter and were trying to have another. So enjoy motherhood and do everything you can to love that baby!!
Aww what a cute belly!! Well I'm 20 years old at 17 weeks, with boyfriend deployed in Iraq, so you have nothin to worry about girl. Don't let those people get you down just think about being the best mommy you can be!!
ok, this is to momof2's comment, I was only 17 when I first got pregnant and the biological father left me, yes LEFT ME, and I still went on my own for almost four and a half months before out of no where, my BEST FRIENDS b/f broke up with her and asked me out, he took it unto himself to make sure I was as healthy as I could be, and you know what?? he was more heartbroken and torn when I miscarried at 29 weeks...and now I'm 18, and pregnant with HIS child, he's extatic, I think he's happier than I am that I'm pregnant...and yes, this WAS planned, we've been trying since I miscarried last December...since my doctor told me I might never have children...I'm currently 6 weeks, and as healthy as I'll ever be...not all highschool kids date "20 something guys" as you so stereotypically said...besides, my g/f, she's 15, and at 14 she decided she wanted a child, if it wasn't for the abusive f*cker who pushed her into a table at 20 weeks, she might have had her daughter lilly by now.
who the hell thinks they have the right to say its "sad" that young people get pregnant. why the hell does age matter? it doesnt. as long as you're happy, thats all that matters.
Hey I'm 17 And So Is The Father So Age Don't Matter! But Congrats On Ur Baby And I Hope Everything Goes Great!
hey ...awww congratultions you have such a cute baby belly ..when r u due? i agree having a baby at a young age isnt always a bad thing...im 14 ill be 15 in october and im 5 weeks 4 days pregnant and i cant wait to see my little bundle of joy im gonna put pics up soon though...good luck
Kassidy--
Keep your head up, girl! A child is a BLESSING, and age is not a badge of immaturity or irresponsibility! I am 20 and have a 2 yr old..and somehow I raised my child while in nursing school and worked, and my child is healthy, happy, and smart. No one can keep you from being a good Mommy! Good luck and God bless!
kassidy all the negative things that ppl have to say about you, you just have to brush your shoulders, and keep moving...you will be a great mom. I found out i was pregnnant for my 1st son when i was 16, and had him when i was 17...now i am 21 and pregnant for my second child...my family is very supportive, and my bf also, so all that matters is the ppl that are supportive, and are there! everyone else can kiss ur behind ;)
I just turned 18 a month ago, and I'm pregnant too, I'm 26 weeks now but I'm still going to school. Me and the baby's father is still together, and my family supports every single move I make and I thank God for that. You look wonderful, forget what anyone else says!
How far along are you now?
How long til the baby comes?
Pregnancy is always a blessing, even if it's not planned and even if you're young. Everything happens for a reason and you should never regret it. just thinking about having babies makes me excited. I'm 19 and I'm having my baby in September. I'm really excited and yet petrified. lol. It's a hard feeling to explain, but i'm pretty sure all young mommies to be know the feeling that i'm speaking of.
And to the girl who posted above me, i feel like your points are valid, but what is the point in being depressed about such a wonderful thing? If a person is pregnant and 14, i would rather them feel supported than that they have been pushed aside by the world. True, they're young, but who is to say they can't be excited as well? I really think pregnancy should always be taken as a blessing. God makes things happen for a reason. Nothing is accidental in this world. True, people should be more careful when they have sex. BUT if they're already pregnant it's a bit too late to take back and i think that they should be so happy and blessed feeling. Better that than like they're going to be doomed for the rest of their life.
I am 25 and 4 weeks with my 4th. I had my first at 18, I was 17 when I got pregnant. I'm not proud of it, but I am glad I did it the way I did simply because of my risks of pregnancy problems if I waited too long. I do strongly feel that any young mother out there needs to represent herself more maturely. Any young lady who types sentences like this: "im young n im happy so u shud b 2" should not be having children. If you type like that, you are still a child. Any young lady who is mature enough to represent herself as an adult, in type and in person, is mature enough to raise another human being. I was mature before I got pregnant with my oldest daughter and becoming a mother made me step up even more. Pregnancy and child birth are very serious steps in life and should not be glorified to young teens. It's hard work! It's a decision that needs to be made carefully.
I'm not putting down young mothers at all, don't take this that way, but as a young mother myself... if you want everyone in the world to believe you're truly capable of raising a child, you need to spell out your words when typing and represent yourself as the adult you want everyone to see you as. I really hope that makes sense. I'm just tired of seeing these little idiots typing like crap, like 14 year olds and being all excited because they are pregnant when they shouldn't even be having kids if they cannot spell properly.
I'll be 23 in September, and I'm about 6 weeks pregnant. And you wouldn't believe the look of shock and horror on my friends/relatives faces when I tell them I'm pregnant!
It's very disheartening-especially since I'm NOT a teenager, I graduated from college last year with a BA Degree, I have a steady career in my feild, and the baby's father makes amazing money and is all about being there for me and taking care of me.
I know we'll be great, and it's almost bringing me to tears right now to think everyone near and dear to my heart seems so dissapointed in me. I'm 23 years old!!!
Being young and pregnant is not a tragedy. I just turned 18 and I'm 18 weeks. Of course it was an accidental pregnancy, but that doesn't mean that I'm not completely excited about it. My entire family is being supportive, really the only person who isn't is the Dad's father.
Congrats on the baby! Hope everything turns out well!
i meant to say 5 weeks sorry
Im just about to be 5 months and i think i may be your size or a little bigger. Im a very small girl so it looks bigger then it should. IM about 5'1" 1/2 and my normal weight is 93 and i weigh 109 now. I cant wait for it to show more! Congrats to you Mommy
Wow, I can't believe someone would have the audacity to come on a mommy message board and put down expecting moms. Shame on you.
Honey, you are gorgeous. Congrats. I know it is scary but always put your child first and everything else will fall into place. Don't pay the negativity any mind. Congrats:)
I am quite offended with the first comment, i think its sad how people judge so much in this sociaty today without knowing anything about what they are being judgemental on.
I am 17 years old i am engaged and have been for a few months now a senior in high school and 4 weeks and 5 days pregnant. Sometimes things just happen. like with me the first time was the time that i got pregnant. We werent irresponcible stuff happens. Everything happens for a reason so other people shouldnt bash on others. You should keep your negativity to yourself. congrats!
Kassidy,
I am young too, infact i am 17 years old and this is my senior year in high school and i am 5 weeks and 2 days pregnant... My pregnancy was unexpected but everyone is dealing with the fact and me and my boyfriend are taking on out new responsibility and as long as we have a possitive attitude we will deffinitally make it through this... my parents are upset but there to back me up no matter what...
Hey Kassidy,
Don't listen to all these rude women telling you you are too young and should give your baby up. There's nothing wrong with giving your child up for adoption but there is also nothing wrong with keeping it.
There are plenty of people who are "old enough" to have children and are horrible parents. Age doesn't matter either you are going to be a good pparent or you're not regardless of whether you are 17 or 37. I am 23 and married my husband and I are trying to have our 1st a lot of people say we are too young but that's their opinion. Momoto2 or whatever her sn was is obviously not very well educated when it comes to sex. About a year before my husband and I got married (we were engaged) I had a miscarriage. I didn't get pregnant from bein "irresponsible" I was on bc and we used comdoms sometimes things happen.
wow you're showing alot already!
I do agree, the first message should be deleted.
I'm 19, I turned 19 on 6/11... I got married at 18... and we waited a few months after we got married to begin trying but it took about 4 months or so. My belly has a bumb-- lol, I was wearing a size 0/1... now Im lucky to fit in a 3.... I think you're beautiful!
To: 55555557
Age has NOTHING to do with ones ability to make a good mother.
It's sad that people make stupid comments when they do not know someone's situation. I am 19 and 33 weeks pregnant, want to say something about that? It would probably be best to just sit there and think of your stupid comment.
A Mother is a Mother regardless of age.
i have a questions for momof2....how old are you? how many kids do you have? and let me explain sumthing!! NO ONE is ever fully ready to be a parent, you never know what to expect!! like she said already younger people make better parents than most older people! plus who are you to judge this young lady? she said the pregnancy was accidental, what the hell would you have to say to her if she had an abortion? "oh young people these days all they wanna do is jump in the bed then kill there babies!" you just need to go sit down and leave this beautiful girl alone!! you are critisizing this young lady for taking responsibility for her actions! good luck with your life and raising your kids, because karma is a bitch....so watch out!!!
hey sweetheart, it is ok to be young and pregnant! it is not the age that matters what matters is if you are willing to put your baby first in life, and wether you are 18 or 25; if you dont want to put your child first you are not ready for a baby!! i see you are putting this lil one first so good luck to you and congrats!! by the way i am 8 weeks pregnant and i am 19, i was 18 when i was pregnant with my first (baby did not make it full term)! i was also married in highschool (to a military man;which is extra hard), but me and my husband are doing wonderful and we are lasting a lot longer than most adult marriages!! so tell your fiance i said congrats and good luck in yalls life together!!!
Ive only read a select few comments on here but some things are just way crazy. Some people are making points and some are just being plain mean. There are people assuming that just because someone is having a kid at a young age that they were planning on it and we were stupid for doing so.
As for someone asking why we dont use condoms or if they are too expensive for us to buy? i mean havnt you heard that any and all protection and precaution is only like 98% effective. I used a condom every single time i had sex and was on the pill for a select few months. I have a year and a half old now and I can still say that every time ive had sex ive used a condom. im also 6 weeks preggy. Oh yeah, im 20 years old.
Im not saying "Hey im 20 and ima be a mother of two and thats the cool thing" Obviously i wasnt trying to do it. But I am going to take my consiquences and deal with it. Not every teen mom is a fool. A lot of us grow from it and are great at what we do. I know a girl who got pregnant while on the pill. It happens. Not every teen mom is getting in that position on purpose. Sure there are those that do. Though girls do need to graduate and get a great education and a supporting job/career before really wanting to have kids, just sometimes that joy is brought to you unexpectedly, but it is still a joy.
I just really hate people putting us down and placing all of us into one pathetic group. Everything happens for a reason and we all need to accept what is thrown at us. I always look on the brighter side and know that things are always know that if things get worse before they get better, they are still going to get better.
Peace out....
momof2 you like to jump to conclusions WAY to quickly. just because we are young and pregnant...or may have already had kids...that doesn't make us irresponsible in any way. for your information i have graduated high school and i was on honor role. i DO have a full-time job, i haven't been without a job since i was 16 years old. i am still with my boyfriend and he is extremely happy for us and is doing everything he can to help me.
not all young mothers are worthless people. yes i will admit that there are some troubled mothers out there and women that should not reproduce, but they come in all ages, not just teenagers.
i am happy i am pregnant at a younger age. i think i will be able to relate to my child better than i would have been able to if i had waited till i was say 30-40 to have one. im not knocking the moms that are that age in anyway though. i believe as long as you are mature enough and ready it doesn't matter what age you are. if you realize that having a baby is going to change EVERYTHING in your life and you are going to have a ton more responsibilities and you are okay with all of it then more power to you.
stop judging young mothers and placing them in this pathetic little stereotype. to all of you that do this, it's sad when you only want to judge us and place crude remarks about us when we are actually more mature then any of you ever could be.
congrats to all the mommies out there and good luck with everything!
She's 18, you should read the posts first!
regaurdless...at 16 YOU ARE STILL A CHILD!
Yeaa, I'm 17 n 28 weeks pregnant, its hard, but as long as u keep up with everything n make sure u dont use your baby as you "way out" it'll b fine, I mean, Ima still go to college and shit, my baby isnt my excuse, he will be my motivation for a better life...I just hope that is how you look @ it. Good Luck hun.
wow, some of these comments are out there. like momof2's. i got pregnant at 17 and had a beautiful little girl. i did marry her dad, but he was cheating on me so i left him, and the only help i had from my family was for them to babysit while i went to work and school. now im an RN and pregnant with my second baby (its a boy)
Kassidy, it can be done as long as you put your baby first and do everything for them. i understand the negative stereotype young mothers get, but people should realize that we're not all lazy whores who just let our parents raise our own children. some of us do have brains in our beautiful heads. i wish you the best of luck and i hope you dont let the negative things get to you!
Wow, momof2, that was a stupid thing to say. Some of us "kids" don't use condoms because we're trying to get pregnant, not because they are too expensive. I have sat and read these comments, some I've been sickened by and others, quite glad to see rebutted. I was told by my OB/GYN at the age of 16 when I had surgery on my left ovary, that if I didn't have children by the time I was 25, I probably wouldn't have the chance. Now I did try at 16, and it didn't work, which was a good thing in hind-sight, because he was a loser, however, when I graduated high school, I went to The Ohio State University and was in their ROTC program when I met my would be husband. We were NOT married and in fact, hadn't at that point, even given it consideration. But he had agreed to be a partner in getting pregnant...I was 18! I didn't conceive until April of 98 which meant I was 19 by that point, I delivered a beautiful boy on December 23rd, I did not get married until April 9th 1999...Yes, the same "twenty-something boyfriend"! I was pregnant with my second child that I lost, in June of that same year. I did recover from my miscarriage and actually conceived during that first cycle in June. My second remarkable boy was born in Feb 00. My husband went to Korea (because you see, I married the same person that gives you the freedom to think and say that "kids" should get an "f*cking job", when in fact many already have them) and while he was in Korea for 15 months, I went back to school. He came home and by Oct 02, we were pregnant with our third stunning son. He was born in July 03. June 04 rolls around, and I get "knocked up" again...ALL PLANNED, I might add. I had my fourth gorgeous son the day before Valentine's day in 2005. My husband volunteered to go to Iraq in Nov 05 and I supported and encouraged every moment of it. Mind you, now I'm working on borrowed time...I'm over the age of 25 (the age you'll recall the doctor gave me) and I have grown, so obviously I am no longer a "kid". To continue, my husband came home for his two week mid-tour in April of 2006 and I got "knocked up" again...again planned. However, the day after he left, I miscarried...and had to wait to tell him until 4 days after he landed in Baghdad, when communications were resumed. We are now in our 7th pregnancy...and I'm 28 years old and I've been married 8 years...is that old enough for your apparent elitist attitude to think that I may have a baby?? I have been blessed 7 times to carry a child in my womb and hopfully by January 14th 2008, I will have 5 children, and I will do it alone, he leaves on June 2nd to go to Africa...again to help encourage your right to be an idiot. (There is a large Al Qaida system in Northern Africa) Just to reinforce you're ignorance, how many people do you know, personally, that have CHOSEN to have 7 pregnancies or even 5 and have had them all with the same person, their husband, even at a so called "grown-up" age?? I have had all of my chilren with the same man, my husband (whom, remind you, I wasn't married to when I gave birth to our first son). I have managed to continue my education and I have NEVER used the government to raise or rear any of my children. I get to stay home with my sons and with this new baby as well, so for you to think that "kids" can not make wise choices about their own lives is absolutley asinine (look it up)! I have not only come out of the "teenage mom" bracket, but I have also managed to prove medical professionals wrong, and each and every child I conceive at this point in my life is a complete miracle from God, and people like you, with your mentality and attitude, should mind your own lives; and fix them, I'm sure they are in dispair or you wouldn't spend your time judging others!!
Thanks for your time and by the way,
Kassidy, you should be nearing the end of your pregnancy within a month or so, so good luck and I wish you all the best in everything that you do with your life!
Jennifer
um yea it does age really does matter when ur pregnant...majority of young girls who get knocked up cannot carry their baby to term. and its sad that girls TRY and get pregnant so young. note to the youngins..if ya wanna prove that ur a 'grown up' and can make grown up decisions...get a fucking job! not the coolest thing to be in highschool and have a kid!
age has nothing to do with being a good mother. it depends on the person. i am soon to be 19 years old and i am 5 weeks pregnant and i'm VERY happy. my mother was also young when she had me and we made it just fine. i look up to my mom in a lot of ways and i'm glad she didn't listen to all the negativity and gave me a chance to live. to all of you that fear anything that is different from what you believe...OPEN YOUR EYES. not everyone is the same and it has never been that way. i guess some people are just too self-absorbed and too stuck in their own ways to care.
i think you look very cute i about 5 months right now ... and dont let all these stupid people get to you ... im 19 years old and my pregnancies was planned okay! i just think some people are just so rude! :) n-e ways good luck with your baby! :)
I just want to say that I think that being pregnant at a young age is not a terrible thing. That no matter at what age you get pregnant, be it 18 or 35, pregnancy is a blessing...people need to be more supportive and less negative or rude. I know a lot of people my age (18-21) that are pregnant or already have a baby. And they're doing great. Because they have love for themselves and their baby. My friend had her baby when she was 18, she got pregnant while we were seniors in high school, and she got so many dirty looks and criticism for still going to high school, being so young and pregnant. But she kept her head up, graduated (w/ her cute baby bump receiving her diploma) and is in college. Now, she is pregnant with her second, and couldn't be happier! She is achieving her goals of becoming a nurse and finishing college. Point being, anything is possible even if you do get pregnant at a young age, with motivation and the willingness to succeed. Congratulations and Good luck with you, your baby, and anything you do. :))
Congratulations to all of you out there who are pregnant. I pray that everything goes well for all of you. I think that all of you will make excellent mothers, and I am so proud of you for keeping your babies. However, please do not forget God in these times. It was not His plan for us to have children out of wedlock. But what is done is done, so I hope that each and every one of you ask for His guidance and invite Him into your lives. God bless you all
hey girl! I was 16 when I had my first and I wouldn't change it for the world, I am 23 now and 5 weeks pregnant with my 2nd. I hope people will respect you, and always stand up for what you believe in, even if your standing alone!
hey, im only turning 17 in September, and i just found out that im 5 weeks pregnant...im excited but also nervous, so i really wouldnt want people judging me just because of my age...you go kassidy!..you seem like a strong individual and someone who would be a great mom...congrats!
Hi Kassidy. I just wanted to say congrats and keep your head up. It doesn't matter if you're "young" or not. I got pregnant at 16 with my first child. I'm 24 now and can say I'm raising a happy healthy 7 1/2 year old, and just found out yesterday that I'm expecting my 2nd. Keep your head up. Motherhood is a great thing. Good luck.
is it possible to even be showing at 5 weeks?! look at some of these women....they look like they are in there 5th, 6th, 7,th and even 8th month of pregnancy....give me a break....im just starting to show....and i am 14 plus weeks pregnant. thanks for your time.
Oh my gosh she is not the youngest girl in the world to get pregnant! I am so glad to see that probably 90% of the comments for Kassidy are positive, but there should be NO negative comments on here at all. She got pregnant young, its not the end of the world. At least shes mature and responsible enough to carry this baby, love this child and be a great mom to it...and not just go and get "rid" of it like a lot of young people do. And with some of the negative comments on here, I see why some young girls opt for abortion. They are treated as though their pregnancy is a total let down to society, and they are judged so harshly, it puts them in a really tough situation. If you have something negative to say, keep it to yourself. What if someday your daughter/sister/cousin/niece would get pregnant at a really young age? Are you going to let them know what a disapointment they are? When I was in High School there were quite a few girls that did get pregnant, they continued school, their education, and some of them really worked their butt off to graduate a year early to go to college and everything. Kassidy...enjoy your pregnancy. Don't let anyone bring you down. Just enjoy this experience and that little baby :)
hey i think its cool u have such a great attitude about it i just found out im 4 weeks prego and im only 15and the dad is much much older then i am but we broke up the other day and he still wants to be there for the baby so i think as long as you have your partner w/u u have as much support as you need that is how my best friend is she just had hers 2 days ago and she is only 16..our other best friend is 18 and do in 92 days...lol... have fun though dont get all boring w/ it it really is a happy thing..
rosalie... i feel bad for you:)
hey .. i just turned 20 .. my finance and i were very suprised to find out i was expecting... but we are sooooo happy ~!!don't ever let people get to you on this website they are just ridicules!!! your beautiful and you will be a better mother than any of those woman who made those nasty comments!!!!
I just wanna let you know, do your thing. Even though your young, it seems as if you have the right attitude. I am 22 years old and am pregnant with #3. This is my 5th pregnancy though. My first was when I was 13 years old. I miscarried. Second I was 16 years old. Same thing. But I was very happy both times. I don't regret how young I was when I had my 2 kids at all. I'm married and have been since 18. We are still going strong. Even being a military family. So don't let people's comments get you down. Even in real life. You know your happy and that's what matters. YOU ROCK girl
You look so cute!Good luck
thats a big belly for 5weeks!!!!!
SLAPPER!!!!!
Congrats!!! I have set and read all of these comments and some of them made me laugh, smile while others made me very angry. I got married when I was 17 (no I wasn't preg.) I waited till I was 20 to have my first child reach I miscarried got preg. again had a beautiful girl whos now 4 and now 7 weeks preg. It does not matter what age you are you can still be a great mommy its all about mind setting that your gonna do it and make the best of it. My sister had a baby at 15 shes now 27 and has 2 other children she is a great mommy the best. Don't let anyone tell you that you have to save yourself or be married to make a great mommy an unplanned preg. at 27 can suck as much as at 16 17 but its all in how your deal with it. I was married MY CHOICE you make your choices and you live with them so CONGRATULATIONS and make of your life and family what you will.. CONGRATS
I completely agree with you!
This is to Cynthia who wrote:
""Birth control is out there so I can't understand how young girls get pregnant "unexpectedly" unless they don't know any better. ""
First of all, it is possible, the only way to 100 avoid conception is to not have sex at all. I am currently pregnant with my second child and this child wasn't planned at all. We were on the pill and using condoms, religiously. So your statement was very ignorant in my eyes. If something is suppose to be, it's going to be.
wow what an amazing atitude you have babe well done and im totally supporting you i found out i was pregnant at the age of 15 but unfrtunatly my family got there way and i had an abortion since then i have gone on to get married and have 2 wonderfull girls aged 5yrs n 2yrs and one on the way u go girl and i think u will make a wonderfull mum keep at it. and personally i think younger girls make better parents i was 18 when i had my first and i wouldnt change anything for the world xxxxx
are you pushing you belly out??? its barely the size of rice right now???
Im having my third and i dont show my belly until i am atleast 12-14 weeks along.
anyway, congrats and who cares about your age your happy!!
When accidentally got pregnant at 15 I had an abortion. It was absolutely the right decision for me to make at the time.
Abortion is a tool used by those who are having severy malformed or ill babies - women who were raped - women who may die in child birth - children who get pregnant - women who absolutely cannot afford the baby, but would most likely keep it in a life of poverty if they birthed it because they couldn't give it up - and of course still born babies.
If you want to 'think of the children' then really 'think of the children'. Abortion is as selfish and selfless a decision as keeping the baby is.
It should absolutely not be used as a method of birth control - but I for one am happy that it was available to me when I desperately needed it.
Babies ARE blessings - but so is CHOICE.
congratulations Kassidy! and to all the moms on here!
my best friend got pregnant at 17 and she is now 24 weeks along and 18 now. I am so proud of her for doing the right thing and keeping this baby. This have been very very hard. but she has stayed strong to do the best for baby Donovan. ((she named him yesterday!)) Shes due in July and i cant wait to see my godson!
again. i just wanna tell all the young mothers out there that i am proud of you. there are lots of ppl who are! stay strong and everything will work out!
well congrats...im sure by now u know what u r having....im 5weeks today, and its a scary thing for me im 20 and not sure if me and the dad will make it but im strong and i will be able to do this on my own...hope everythng is going well for u....the best of wishes for u and ur family....
CONGRATULATIONS KASSIDY!!! I HOPE YOUR LITTLE ONE BRINGS YOU A LIFETIME OF JOY!!!
I have been reading all these comments, and it truly does make me sad to see so many teenagers pregnant. Pregnancy is a blessing, but as women we need to wait for the right time. Birth control is out there so I can't understand how young girls get pregnant "unexpectedly" unless they don't know any better. I am young myself I am 21 and 5 weeks, but my pregnancy was planned. I have graduated ASU and am now a school teacher and happily married. A baby is no joke and if you are not prepared mentally, physically and economically life will be very hard, not just for you but also for your baby. Think about the responsibility a baby brings and when you are ready to offer him/her the very best you can then go for it. To all you that are already pregnant congrats and keep your head up, stay in school for your baby's sake.
Lol, all the teen moms ganged up on the lady who wrote the inappropriate comment. Thats good for her (you know what). I myself am 21 and a first time mom. And guess what, my pregnancy was PLANNED. Yeah, thats right. And guess what,Im not a high school drop out. As a matter of fact, Im going to school to get my RN license. And I have 1 left. I am 14 weeks pregnant though, but i was just looking at all the different pics. Sometimes "things" happen, but there are no "mistakes". God dont make "mistakes". He makes "blessings".
'Abstinence' the word 'cheep' is what a baby bird says to it's mother. You might want to learn how to spell your preaching correctly.
Not everybody is religious and not everybody believes that abortion is 'murder' - perhaps you might like to go join a closed minded group that continues to think that women have no personal right or choices to make desicions that will help them live a better life instead of an open forum where women are sharing positive thoughts with each other about pregnancy??.
Get with the times, or go stuff your face in your Bible and keep your closed minded, uninformed preaching to yourself.
P.S. I'm glad you are offering up YOUR babies for adoption seeing as you think it is so easy to do. Many mommies out there will bless you as their gift giving Angel...
I am in complete support of girls like Kassidy(by the way is the most beautiful pregnant girl on here)It's a miracle I didn't get pregnant before I got married. Having sex with men before my husband is the biggest regret of my life. I just thank God that He didn't allow me to get pregnant before I got married. But, hey, I was concieved out of wed lock. Who am I to judge? I'm just thankful for women like my Mom who chose life and Kassidy who is choosing life for her baby.
Abstinence, first of all, sex before marriage is a given at this day in age, second of all, I am guessing you are not to smart to think that all abortion is baby murder, third of all, I know you aren’t smart because you can’t spell. It’s CHEAP not CHEEP. If she is happy and not bothering you then get over it and quit preaching to someone you don’t even know.
I had my daughter when I was 24 and I am now 28 and pregnant with a son. I am so happy to see that all of the young girls here are choosing life over baby murder (better known as abortion)! I am however deeply saddened by the number of children that are being concieved before marriage. Sex is a wonderful bond between husband and wife. Sex before marriage is a sin. Consider adoption, there are so many married couples just in the US that pray daily for a child. They are able to provide the stability of both parents and financially ( children are not cheep)for a baby. Please think this over: If you love your child and want to provide the best life possible for that baby, get married BEFORE you have sex!
awww Christy, I am so sorry that happened to you. Abortion should never be forced on anybody, no matter what the circumstances. But I'm sure you're children are beautiful!
I would have been 37 weeks pregnant yesterday, I had a miscarriage, and I am 19. Young pregnancies have absolutely NOTHING to do with age, its about maturity. I know many 18 year olds that are way more mature then some 30 year olds.
congrats honey be happy and healthy i had my first girl at 18 and i dont regret it at all the thing i do regret was marrying her father that was a horrible mistake but it is true my daughter caused me to open my eyes and taught me a heck of alot of responsibility i am 28 now and am expecting my third (hoping for a boy) 12weeks along now just keep you head up and set yourself some goals..finish school and get a good job and be happy be your own woman and enjoy being a mommie it can be real hard sometimes but is always worth it.... god i am long winded....must be the hormones... hehe
Hi my name is Mercedez and im 5 weeks pregnant. I had just found out like 4 days ago and I'm scared Shitless. I am 19.and i dont quite know what to do... this morning sickness is kicking my ass and i feel like i have to throw up every 5 minutes. literally. please if you have any words of advice please, im listening( or reading).
Hey! Just wanted to drop in and say, first off, congratulations on the upcoming little one! I know you are very excited about it and I know you will be a wonderful mother. Secondly, don't allow people like "un-named coward" to get under your skin. Let me tell u a little something... I am 21 and 10 weeks pregnant with my third, yes third child. My fiancee' also has 2 of his own, this will make his third and my third. At the age of 21, yes, that many kids will make the house feel like a daycare and will make things rough, I will not deny that, but, in the same sense, its more to love! A decently big family has always been important to me and now that I am pregnant with this child, with the man that is truely my soulmate, life for me is complete! Best of wishes to you and yours!
I am 27 and have a 6yr old and an 8yr old.
I am now 5 weeks and my stomach is probably alittle bigger then yours, I thought I was the only one.
As far as the first comment, they are so stupid.
When I was 14 I found out that I was 3mths preg. and my mother forced me to have an abortion, even though I had no control I will live with that guilt for the rest of my life.
I find myself every year telling myself how old that baby would be.
Yes you are young, but trust me when I tell you, you will mature in so many ways and parenting will come natural to you.
Good luck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The first comment was harsh but many old timers feel that it is a disgrace to have children when you are a child yourself. Yes it may be disappointing but shit does happen. I commend the girls that do get pregnant at a young age and survive (meaning take care of their kids and sacrifice). Once you have a child life changes drastically. Even for the ones that are older. It is a big step in ones life and I don't care how old you are not everyone is ready for it. Each person is different. I have to say though I hate it when I hear about all of these idiots taking for granted the gift that they have been given by god and go and kill their babies. If they did not want it then either abort or adopt out. There are too many choices today and killing is just not acceptable. I would like to wish everyone the best of luck young and old. Being pregnant is a blessing. So enjoy it because men will never know how great it feels when you feel that little one move in your belly. It is just simply amazing!
it is sad how many pregnant young girls there are... yes i am only 19 and i found out i am pregnant, however, i had finished school and am now working on my cna... i hope you know what you are getting yourself into. make positive choices and PLEASE dont use drugs while youre pregnant or afterwards...

woah, that first comment was ROTTEN!!! quote from bambi "if you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all" teach your children that, and use it for yourself.a young pregnancy is still celebrating life.i had my first at 18 and i wouldn't change it for the world.CONGRATS KASSIDY!!!don't listen to the neg. you enjoy this, you deserve it!!!
I just recently turned 19, and as of today I'am 30 weeks!=).. Congrads Kassidy on your new baby to be! And I hope you have a great pregnancy with no complications like I have had so far.. I'am also young,and mine was also no planned, but defintly not a mistake!.. We are young, but it isnt "sad" that we have gotten pregnant, as far as I know, we'll probaly be a better mother then then one's who think young girls cant be!.. Goodluck with everything=)
I Am 18 and having my second baby.... I am only 4 weks along but I am soooo excited I just wanted to say that I think it's a good thing to have childeren young because I know that I have more energy for my son and he is 3!!!! I can't wait to bring this new baby into the world so he can learn how to be mommy's little helper! I just love kids! also this picture above of kassidy is very beautiful..... I think it is fave!
I don't think having a baby young is the problem. It is about having to pay the bills. How can you have a child and not beable to take care of them financially?
I didn't rad all the posts, so I don't know if this point has been brought up yet, but why do girls get their period at age 10 and 11 if God didn't want them to have any children for another 15 years after that??? Young pregnancies are great, perfectly normal, and shouldn't be looked down upon at all by anyone.
Hi Kassidy, i just wanted to let you know that I was a young mom, i found out i was expecting 3 days before my highschool graduation. shes now 2 and i'm expecting again July 13th,I am now married to my highschool sweetheart of 5 years. My sister in law was 17 when she got prego with her first son, shes now 21 and her oldest will be 4 in june, and youngest is 4 months, shes had a tough time with the father of her first being in jail for beating her while prego because she wouldn't get an abortion, hes been in jail off and on since, the new babes father cares more about his job than his family, shes still unmarried but shes making it, she recieves help from the government because she was so badly abused by her first sons father that she has anxiety and stress disorders as a result, she also did drugs for a long time, shes been sober now for 1 1/2 years from meth and 2 months from pot, i'm very proud of her and i've been there with her through it all, it hasn't been easy and next month shes getting her tubes tied but my point is you can do it no matter the circumstances, you can do it and i'm sure you'll be a great mom!
hi there- I just wanted to let you know, that I had my daughter at the age of 17. I received much criticism, and not a lot of support, but you can do anything you set your mind to. After having my daughter, I put myself through college and received not only my BA, but my MA as well, and am now enrolled in law school. Dont let others get you down. You can have your baby, and still fulfill your dreams.
Im 18 and 13 weeks pregnant!! I got married back in august and me and my husband DECIDED that it was the right time in our life and we couldn't be happier! Oh and just because some girls don't plan it dosen't mean that they are not WONDERFUL mothers!!!!!
I think you will be a great mommy and I'm sorry but that unpleasant person had no right saying that to you. Just because your young doesnt mean your not going to be a great mom. I'm 18 and 6 months pregnant does that make it sad or something. you and your fiance will be good parents. Congrats on your baby and take it easy ok.
Great attitude Kassidy! You truly will be a great mom! Knowing your responsibility and owning up to it!! You sound very mature for your age. I'm very excited for you and your fiance!
I had my first baby at 18. I am 23 now I am married and I am a well adjusted young woman. I have a baby on the way and 3 boys. I am going to adopt also. Being a mom makes you braver and smarter than our counter parts that don't! Congrats to all new moms.
I am 23 and pregnant for the 3rd time. I've had to be on complete bed rest for all of them. All of them were planned and we are praying that this is the first we will bring home. My first ended in a miscarriage and then my son was born when I was only 26 weeks pregnant. He died in the NICU when he was 6 weeks old. I couldn't have made it through all that and this pregnancy (10 wks) without my husband. How many of you girls are really ready to handle something like that if it were to happen. It breaks my heart that girls give themselves away with no thought. My husband and I waited till we were married to have sex. And it was so worth it. Waiting till you get married to have sex can be done and it doesn't kill you. I'm proud of you girls for not having abortions but there is also the option of adoption. I have many friends that can't get pregnant and would give anything to raise a child in a home with a mom and dad that are married and can support a baby. I wish you all the best but please think about abstinence till you get married.
good luck and as long as your happy you'll be ok!
I am barely 19 and i am 17 weeks pregnant. My whole family took it hard and it hurts when this is the happiest thing that ever happened to me. i was planning on getting married in april and now its just been pushed back a litle, but for all of you stressing about family....why worry. if you come across to them letting them know that you and the father are happy and its something you guys are in together, then they will respect that and have the same reaction you do. my mother is strict catholic and she is more excited than me and my fiance combined!!
I am happily pregnant and age doesnt matter at all.
thank u all again u guys just really help on here but just so every1 knows i have a new 1 up at 12 weeks..i am now 17 weeks tho man is it weird! well good luck to u all with ur pregnancies..i know i will do my best!
i am 19 and 2 of my cousins that are my same age are pregnant...3 of my friends are either pregnant or just had there baby and it may have been accidents but EVERYTHING happens for a reason! i am very happy fr you Kassidy!! congratulations! and def have an awesome attitude! goodluck with the baby! im sure u will do AWESOME!
You are so beautiful! Good luck with everthing.
i was 16 when i got pregnant. non of my family supported me. they all thought i would drop out of school never go to college. i proved all of them wrong when i graduated a year early and in the top 10 percent. i am 20 now and pregnant with my second child. And in college. i am super excited. and anyone who tells me 'omg you are 20 with 2 kids' one more time will be drop kicked.no just kidding. But me and my man are super excited. and that is all that matters to me.
Hi! Looking great! I was 16 when I had my first baby and now I am 24 and pregnant with my third. I graduated from college and am a Social Worker and I am married to the father of baby 1 and 3 (our daughter on the way)so do not let people bring you down. Personally I think that I was a better mom at 16 then alot of 30 year old women. Take care of yourself hun and congrats!
Girl you look great!! I want you to know all babies are put here by God when he wnts them here. I don't care how young you are!!
well u guys.. i am now 16 weeks but they just posted my picture on 12 weeks... i will b putting 1 on 16 weeks soon!
I love the picture so cute my tummy is starting to look like that too...:) as far as you being a young mother...That's okay I had my first child when I was 16. Its a lot easier to run after your 2yearold when you are still young.!
cute picture...I'm also a teenage mom-to-be...I just turned 17 in Nov. of 2006 and I'm due to have my first in August...It's great to see someone who's proud of being young and pregnant...I'm from south Mississippi so it's not unusual for young teenage mothers...I can count on my fingers and toes of young girls that I know who have or are having a baby...
I cannot believe that person would say that to you in post one! I am 18 and I am due Feb. 6th (so I only have 17 days left) and I already feel like I'll be a great mom and my pregnancy was accidental and I am so happy. But congradulations on your pregnancy! Hopefully you post more pictures, I don't know how to add any but I have some pictures :) :D
i really wish there was a way to contact all of the younger mothers. because i am going through this period of wanting a child now because i have enough money (no joking) saved up in a locked account untill i am 18 (fairly soon) and i cant wait to take a pregnancy test FAIRLY SOON.
i just dont want to be an older mother and i want to be the best mom there is. Kassidy. you look gorgious in this photo. i think its time for an updated photograph now because you must be alot bigger since this was posted. i love to see all the support on here.
my pregnancy will not be an accident.
if i am. and my friend, he will be EXTREMLY happy if i am :D
if you at all wanna contact me.
just add me on AIM= mullets fosho
i would love to have someone to talk to.
Your looks and personality are absolutely gorgeous... I wish you all the best! Ps... I think we're due around the same time? I'm due 07.13 and it's my first! :) xoxo
Kassidy is this your belly at 6 weeks? you look beautiful... this is very inspirational for me, I am a model/photographer and I have been waiting until I got more of a bump to take some photos of my belly, but you have inspired me to take some. Someone should delete that first comment on here, some people are so judgemental, even that person knew it they were to ashamed to write there name...and they should be. My mother was 17 when she gave birth to my sister, and she was a great mother, it depends on the person, society needs to stop trying to put people in little boxes, some 17/18 year olds are more mature than some 45 year olds I know... its not how old you are its who you are.
Im 22 weeks and 18 years old. I just found out Im having a little girl. My boyfriend is in prison and wont be out for the birth. Im scared about doing it alone. but I know I can do it.
well thank u all again its so helpful to have so many people on my side..i am now 13 weeks and 5 days and im getting nervous..i still haven't got an ultrasound but i will be getting 1 on jan 20..one of those 4d i CANT WAIT!! well i love u all and god bless
wait until u start the second trimester, u'll enjoy it, when ur baby moves inside u. it's an amazing feeling only a woman can understand.
take care.
I love what am reading here, we all seem like one big FAMILY of pregnant WOMEN. I'm 14 weeks and so excited , I'M 22 YRS and this is my first BABY, my husband and i are so excited AND am so HAPPY that i can come here and get to know what other women GO THROUGH. it'amazing JUST reading through AND feeling so INSPIRED AND SUPORTED.

It is up to your doctor BRANDY. I hope all of the "MOMS" and "MOMMIES to BE" are getting regular PRENATAL CARE. It is very important for the health and well being of your unborn baby. During my 1st pregnancy I was 22 and was only scheduled one ultrasound when I was about 4 or 5 months pregnant with my daughter. That is usually around the time when they can tell what the sex of the baby will be as well. Now I am 30 and preganant with my second child and at almost 3 and a half months, I have already had 2 ultrasounds. I had one at 7 weeks, and one about a week ago at just 3 months. I guess the older you are the more tests and things they have to look for in the unborn baby. I am due for another one when I am about 4 months. GOOD LUCK LADIES!
I am in my 5 th week of pregnancy with my 1st child I wanted to know when will I be able to get an ultrasound???
kassidy i jus wanted to tell that im proud of you for doin wat you think is rite!!! im also 6 wks pregnant maybe we can kit through our pregnancies my email is tntiller1984@hotmail.com. hit me up some time so we can chat!!
i am new to this site i myself had a child very young i was 16 going on 17 i am now 28 i do not regret for a moment having my son at a young age yes it is hard but its not the end of the world my only advice is to have patience,be open to advice and to always put your child first know matter what other drama is going on good luck
^Im the friend haha!
I'm 16 and im 20 weeks pregnant! Christine and I were reading your page together and it's just so motavating to me i cant even tell you..
And you know what you seem so strong in your situation now and i believe you could stay strong through it till the end.
your in my prayers
xoxo
Hey there, you look great!!!

XOXO
thank u all for ur support i wil do my best and thats all i can do..me and the fathe rr not together ne more but he is planning on havin an active role n my pregnancy and with the baby i just hope thats he comes around to his senses before the baby is born...i am now 10 weeks and am soo excited...
Hey all...I was 15 years old when i found out i was pregnant with my son. at 19 i got pregnant again and had a little girl. now we are expecting again...(not sure what it is yet, im only 6 weeks.) but you can do it! i have never been happier. Just because you are young and having a baby doesnt mean that you still cant do things with your life. While it may make it a little bit harder, its not impossible. Good luck with everything!
you know what i wanted to just ugh...OKAY..i had my son at 16 yrs old people..his dad left us and ive been rasing him since the day he was born..16!! i know parents way older than me that have put their child up for adoption because they "couldnt" do it...ladies...NO MATTER what age you are..you can raise a child it doesnt matter. it depends on YOU and what YOU do for your baby and their future!! its not easy, but it's not impossible!! im almost 20 now and my sons 3 and a half and im expecting my second!! im excited and u should be too girl..congrats ur very beautiful and dont let anyone tell u otherwise!!
Continue your EDUCATION. BETTER YOURSELF for the FUTURE of you and your UNBORN CHILD. It will be a struggle, but well worth it in the long run, to have built a SOLID foundation for your family. You are YOUNG but it is never too late to finish school.
hey i jst wanted to say u look beautiful...and people who think its sad to get pregnant young are ignorant...young people learn from example... not that n e one influenced u just some people think it wrong to be young n pregnant, me im 18 and 9 weeks im single and the babys father is involed, it was planned but it just didnt work with me n him... so stay smilin
im 16 and im having my first little boy... i dont think that there is anything wrong with a teen getting pregnant. there are so many people who think its wrong. and i didnt mean to get pregnant it was an accident. but instead of doing what a lot of girls my age do. im keeping it! and people dont really think of how many girls have unprotected sex. it couls happen to soo many people. and it jusy happened to her and me.
Hey there beautiful girl. You're amazing. Pregnancy is a blessing and it could happen to ANY ONE OF THOSE HIGH SCHOOLERS out there that have sex.So the people who talk down to you must be PERFECT and must have NEVER HAD sex befor;o) Keep ur head up! My sis had her baby at 18 preg at 17 and she is THE BEST MOM. GREAT student in HS Popular, great job...Stuff happens. Her daughter was a blessing on our whole family. As will yours be. I got married at 20 preg at 21 and im 18 weeks along and I think the younger the better. You'll be a sexy lil mama thats actually able to keep up with your kids. YA KNOW!!! Keep strong baby girl you'll make it.
I think every one is entitled to their own opinion, including the first comment. Teenage pregancy is obviously not going anywhere, and it does become a sad situation when you dont make something of your life afterwards. However, if you are still in school, and determined to continue your education to prepare your self for a better future for you and your unborn child, BOTH you and your fiance or baby father...I applaude that. But when teenagers consistantly continue to have babies making the same mistake repeatedly, depending on their parents support and shelter, welfare, and without making any effort to better your future, it becomes a very sad situation because the cost of living, and employment opportunities both become difficult to afford and to find without a solid education to back you up. It's just a fact of life.
well thank all of u for supporting me... i have many people behind me but it just doesnt feel like it u know! i am now 9 weeks and me and my fiance got to hear our little baby's heart beat yesterday it made it SO MUCH MORE REAL i was so excited i didnt know what to do with myself lol..but i wanna say thanx to every1 on my side im gunna do my best to be the GREATEST mommy i can and congrats to every1 that is prego its such a wonderful thing in life and i cant wait for my lil girl or boy to finally kick me and finnaly get to see its precious lil face thanx again it means soo much...
Hi my name is Tiffany and at 14 I found out I was 3 months pregnant, it was a accident but instead of taking it out on my child i decided to keep her and my family stood behind me, Now at 19 and My beautiful daughter who just turned 4 are expecting again and she cant wait to be a big sister. I gave up alot for her but I wouldnt take it back for anything. Yeah alot of young girls get pregnent but atleast alot of us have the courage to take responsibility for our actions, and no Im not on well fair if that is what you are thinking! I am engaged to an older man who is a truck driver and makes a wonderful living and taked care of both of us. No matter what age a mom will be a great mom if they want the baby, which I did and it has been such a wonderful four years watching her grow!
Hey, my names Jess and I have a wonderful 5 month old son and I just turned 19 and I am currently attending college for nursing, and I am doing just fine at such a young age and you will be a great mom to, and if anyone says being young means you cant be a good mother then they nedd a reality check because being a mother comes from deep down and age is not a factor
Hey there, about 6 months ago I found out that I was pregnant, accidental. Then 3 months after that I ended up having a miscarraige. And now a following 3 months later I'm about 7 weeks along now... this one's on purpose. What's ment to be is ment to be. I'm 19, and I can't wait to have this baby. You do wht's good for you and your child... don't worry about idiots like comment #1.
kassidy you look great!!! that 1st comment was totally unappropriate...
What that first commenter said is wrong...my mom has disowned me cuz I just barely turned 18, and I'm 28 weeks pregnant, and as happy as I can be with how they treat me...it was accidental, and I'm young...don't mean jack...
Kassidy,
I got pregnant with my daughter when I was 19 and I heard everyones comments asked for or not. I had more energy to take care of a baby. My husband (fiance at the time) and I are expecting our second child and I am 26, people still say I am young. People dont understand and know what they are talking about. You have a great attitude. Good luck with everything.
You know I was 22 when I had my first child and now I am five weeks pregnant with my second child and now I am 33. I have more fear now than I did when I was younger. I dont think it matters what age you are. If you have a good support team you will be just fine.
Kassidy,
I am about five weeks now... and I'm a younge mother too... I'm not married... but the father and I have been together for five years! He is the one! The only one! I don't have pictures yet... but maybe I'll get one on here soon! Good luck with everything I hope it goes well!
Wish me luck....
With Love,
20years and prego!
Hi Kassidy
I usually don't share this kind of information on websites but I just felt really upset and somewhat angry at the first comment that was left for you. First of all you look beautiful and second, I had my first child when I was 13 years old....It was very hard but he is my little guy (hes 10 now). I'm 24 years old now and I'm having another baby (a girl!). I am 22 weeks pregnant and let me tell I've heard it all for having a baby that young.Having my son that young made me the woman I am today and I will never regret a single moment of it. It has prepared me for my little girl and done so much more for me as a woman. Congrats and you will make a great mommy!!
Hey Girl,
I had my first baby when I was just 16, and now 10 years later am expecting my second. I am 10 weeks and 3 days. You sound like you will be a great mom. I hope you have someone other than your boyfriend to help though. If I did not have my mom I don't know what I would have done. It is not going to be fun loosing out on so many things, but it is cool growing up with your child. I have to remind myself all the time that I am his mother not his friend. I can say I am happy I had my son so young, the bond between us is amazing. Your picture is beautiful. Good Luck and Congrats.
Well Kassidy honey Im only 19 years old and i have a 3 year old little boy his name is Gabriel and I now have a baby girl Chloe on the way but Im 29 weeks alittle more along than you but i remember when i was only 7 weeks i was to have my baby then lol
CONGRATS and ignore comment #1 they must be a jealous asshole and might kust be someone that cant get pregnant and be blessed like you!!
CONGRATS AGAIN
thank u both jessica and tara ya im 17 will b 18 n march...im younger than u two but i do agree that sometimes young moms do,do better but also we have ALOT to learn. it is so true what they say we get critisizes for killing our baby but we get criticizes for having our baby,well i think of it as its my life not any1 elses i live on my own already and im fully aware of my responsibilities and what i need to do so again thank u every1 for being so nice and suportive to me it means the WORLD!
Hey congrats! I found out yesterday that im 6 weeks.Im 18 and Im petrified! Sometimes young people Make "better" parents, Simply because we are not conditioned as adults. We still function and use our own minds to make disicions.And we still have just as much love for a babies! Congrats!
heyyy girly i am 8 weeks today and i am only 18. it doesnt matter how old you are, people complain if you kill your baby people complain if you take responsibility for your actions you cant win for losing. so coming for me, keep your head up girl only you know whats right for you and send everyone else the finger. good luck!!!
thank you guys so much for all your possitive attitude it REALLY helps! Obviously the first comment they were embarrased at what they were saying because they didnt put a name just numbers... But yes i am HAPPY and VERY excited!
Great attitude Kassidy! You're going to make a great Mommy!! =)
Thank you amberly! But,yes my pregnancy was accidental,and i am young,but me and my fiance are soo happy its not even funny! I cant wait to find out what im having a little me or a little him! heheh!
I think that was a horrible thing to say. Who are you to say things like that? How is it sad? Not all "young girl" pregnancies are accidental!
its sad how many young girls in America get pregnant.
