Anyone who had or has a teen pregnancy, I have a question or two!.?

[Lilli G]

When you found out you were pregnant did the father stand by you?
How did your teachers and peers take it?
Is the labor really painfull?
What are the ups and downs?


THANKYOU!

My best friend in the entire world found out she was pregnant at 16. Unfortunately her boyfriend who was 17 but graduated had joined the army and was in bootcamp by the time she found out. He has stood by her as much as possible even though they are "geographically" challenged but they are not in a relationship anymore. Thats not always the case, some guys will stand beside their girlfriend and some relationships last. Her teachers however did not judge her and neither did her peers. If anything had a rude or snide comment to make there was usually about 3 people around to shut them up. The thing is things will be said but you just have to let it go, there will be moments when it seems impossibly difficult to deal with but you just need to lean on the people who are there for you whether it's a friend or your parents. Emotionally it is a rollercoaster but it's well worth it! That baby will be amazing. And labor is painful... get the epidural! hehe just a bit of advice! :) Good luck and best wishes!!!

Um, Well me and the father were in a very rough patch, but we had a few pregnancy scares before had, so he was there for me. Sadly though, I lost my baby, miscarried at 2 months. And after that, I pushed him away, and eventually broke up with him. He says it is because of the fact I miscarried. My friends were there for me, my teachers never knew, seeing as school hadn't started yet.
I knew I was pregnant, before I took the test. I just felt it [[not literally because it was only two months]] but I seriously knew it and it was horrible losing that. No one that I knew or could talk to understood how I felt. And I still suffer from sadness from it.
I am 15 and I was 15 when this happened.

I was 19 when I found out I was pregnant and as soon as i knew i was keeping it the dad said he was with me 100%. I am in college so my teachers werent really affected and my friends were pretty shocked. it feels weird that theyll talk about parties or going out and all ive done are ultrasounds and prenatal yoga, but thats something i knew would happen. I don't know about labor because i'm only 6 mos but i'll let you know when it happens.
Some of the ups so far are feeling him move, finding out it was a him, buying little clothes, seeing him on the ultrasound, hearing his heartbeat, and just wondering what he's going to be like. The downs are telling my parents and disappointing them, telling my friends and having them treat it like a disease, and knowing that my life is going to change drastically when he gets here. Although i will miss things other 20 year olds are doing it was my decisions that created him and its my responsibility to take care of him. Congrats if your pregnant and i hope things work out. If you have any other questions, letme know ejohnston2010@yahoo.com

80% of fathers of teen pregnancies do not stay with the mothers, and send less than $800 annually on child support.

That means only 20% stay together.

My daughters dad was slow to step up but was always in her life. His family was very supportive and still is. Labor is painful and everyone looks at you funny when your a teenager and pregnant. All the way around I would not recommend getting pregnant before 30.

Well, I haven't exactly told him yet. Hunter claims that he told him, but I'm not so sure.

My friends are all like you can't keep it and all that and even though i told them not to tell their parents they all did.

i don't know. only 7 weeks.

upside to being pregnant: you can be uber bitchy and blame it on hormones

downside: getting fat...although, I'm almost 7 weeks now and i actually lost weight......

Yes, we've been together for 3yrs going on 4 yrs.
I was a "smart girl" so teachers and students were really shocked to see me pregnant.
Labor has its ups and downs, i'm telling you dont try and be strong. TAKE A EPIDURAL lol

downs - stretch marks, weight gain, dirty looks from ppl, having to fight the statistic, waking up every couple of hours, having to grow up overnight, working to provide for my son, missing out on him growing, school to work to home.

ups - seeing what moved and hiccuped inside of you for 9 months, seeing that little smile, fighting that statistic [graduating, working, not living off the welfare system!] , having him call you mama,
