I was 17 when I had my son, 16 when I got pregnant. I'm now 26 and 24 weeks pregnant with baby number 2. A 9 year gap in between. Sometimes I wonder what it would have been like not to have had commitnments at such a young age, but I've still been able to enjoy life and achieve eveything I've wanted to so far. This pregnancy is so much nicer as I am a lot more settled and have the option of maternity leave this time which I didn't the last. Also, got myself a much better other half this time around, who is caring and loving. What a difference!
Its hard at times being a young mum, especially a single young mum, but its not like all doors are shut to you. You just have to be a bit more careful about what you do and remember you can't wake up with a hangover like your mates can!

Hi. im 23 and my oh is 28. we are getting married on 03 aug and i will be 27 weeks on the day. We arnt getting married because of the baby as the wedding was planned now for a year. I do find people looking at me with critisizing eyes as i do look younger than i am but i dont care. I dont think your age matters cause when you have your baby in your arms you are every bit the dottin mother that an older person is. lvu diane xxx
