Re: 16 and Pregnant - September 10th 2009, 04:15 AM

I got pregnant with my daughter at 15 and had her at sixteen. She will be three in october. I got pregnant again at 18 am now 19. And he just arrived on September 1st. He is doing great and is healthy.

With my first pregnancy I got my GED, got a job and moved out on my own. Mom didn't kick me out or anything but the living situation at her house was not good. Been on my own since. The father of my second child is wonderful and acts as if my daughter is his as well.

I will never sugguest someone have a child young. Most people cannot and do not handle it properly. Rasing a child being an adult paying your own bills is the hardest most stressful thing you will ever have to do. It takes a lot of sacarficing. My advice to anyone that finds themself in that situation is to think of what is right and best for you and do whatever it takes to do it. If you want to keep you baby then you need to be willing or work and give up all your money. Probably wont ever get good sleep again. You can't watch or do what you want anymore. Its all a lot harder than it sounds.

My children are the greatest thing in the world to me and I would happily and willingly do what I have to for the rest of my life to make sure they have what they need and want. Rasing kids is the hardest and most rewarding thing you will ever do.
