18 and 32 weeks pregnant. AMA..

My family comes from a working class background. My mother was 21 when I was born, my father 19. On top of that my mother and father got divorced when I was about 7. My mother also suffers from clinical depression.

Both my parents remarried, with my father giving remarkably little to me, although my relationship with him is fine. I was given everything I wanted throughout my childhood and was never disadvantaged because my parents worked hard to make it so. I'm going to Sheffield to study BSc Psychology in a week.

This kind of thinking is backward and only exists because the media and common consensus tells you should think like this. The mother will be fine. Stop trying to scare her The child will grow up just fine as long as it has parents who care about them.

stupid comment. Not everyone has the same plans for their life as you do. Even if this was an accident it's not necessarily a bad thing. I'm sure the baby will have a loving family and grow up just fine, especially since she's expressed she has a good support system.

what are you naming the child? Congrats btw.

That's very commendable, many would have taken the easy way out. I wish you the way of luck. And please don't smoke or drink during the pregnancy (in general as well!).

If this is genuine, don't do this to yourself. There's going to be ***** on here....

You got pregnant from precum?

oh pa lease

Hm?

Don't try and fill her head with more nonsense.

She already made a bad mistake by having unsafe sex and getting pregnant without being married or financially or economically prepared, so don't make it seem like what she did wasn't a really bad choice.

I've expressed that I don't disagree that this was a bad decision. Instead I'm trying to provide supportive comments so instead of being terrified she can go into this knowing that she's supported and give the child her best.

On the whole I'd advise against getting pregnant this young. But what's done is done. Why scare her now, she obviously decided against getting an abortion, and she's expressed she has a strong support system. This baby is happening.

You think this is a bad situation, how is judging her and scaring her going to help make that situation better?

Well I do.

And abortion and teen pregnancies which usually leads to teen suicide statistics shows I'm right.

In all honesty I wish you the best.

Well the OP and I both agree that it is a bad idea, and i really liked her reply because she wasn't too fused about my comment and replied with a lot of maturity maybe she is fit to be a mother at this age, so I'm not too sure where you're getting this idea that I'm scaring her because she doesn't seem too scared about what I say.

I wish her and her partner and most importantly the baby the best

How did your boyfriend react and what is your ethnicity?

I hope things work out whatever happens

Was lazy and naive with contraception. Used it sometimes, didn't use it a lot of times and didn't get pregnant at first so we thought that him pulling out was working.
