Being a teen mom is hard,I was seventeen when I had my son.I wouldn't change a thing about my life though,except maybe to move back to where my family is.I'm a teen mom living over a thousand kms away from any form of support network.I have my good days and I certainly have my bad days.I live with my son's father and I am a stay at home mom.
I never dreamed that one day I would be somebody's 'mommy' I never planned on having kids,it was a miracle pregnancy.I was on birth control pills and we used condoms all the time,my baby's a fighter! lol.
I'd have to say the high points of being a teen parent would be the smiles,the kisses,the hugs and the unconditional love and trust from another human being.But those are the high points of any parent.
The low points would be the looks that people give you,and how everyone thinks that you need their advice just because you're a young parent.
Right now my bf wants another baby,he says that he needs a little girl now.But I'm 18 with a child living a far way away from my family and he works 17-18 hours a day.I'm not ready for that emotional rollercoaster again.I am still working on building a family with the three people that are in it!
My advice to you is just go with the flow,show that child as much love and affection as you can and tell the child you love him/her everyday as many times as you can.
Hope everything works out for you!
