Okay.. Well I was just sitting here.. And I realized.. Im 15. I'm 15 and im pregnant.. I barely know anything about pregnancy.. And I dont know how to be a mom. Im so scared, what if im not a good mom?! What if the baby is born and I feel like I do right now?... Im tryingn so hard to be strong.. But its so hard.. I've got school, and trying to keep up grades... And thinking about what the world im going to be doing when the baby comes. And it scares me because I dont know! I dont know how to be a mom!! Crying or Very sad

im sorry.. I just needed to vent a little.. Maybe its the hormones kicking in, I dont know.. It just hit me though.. Really hard..I dont know how to make myself feel better Crying or Very sad









**sorry if this posts twice, it delteed it b4**

You can call and vent to me whenever if you'd like pm me and i'll give u my number... I'll cry for no reason and like I keep thinking i'll fail but it will all work out... This is all happening for a reason...

Hey ! First, i'm sure you are going to be a great mommy! And 2ndly, I just had a mini break down of my own.....And it had nothing to do with pregnancy! I think it is in our (females) genetic makeup to have at least four break downs a year.....And i've had two this month alone. I guess i'm one hellofa woman. Mine had nothing to do with babies and everything to do with being away from my boyfriend for way too long. I guess i'm just praying that he isn't my boyfriend for long and that he promotes himself to a higher standing. But anyway, calm down, don't worry, there are so many resources out there to help you! Us for starters!

Girls, all of you are going to make great mothers... No matter how old or young you are. Negative thoughts become negative actions. Being a good mother is not dependent on how much .S.T.U.F.F you give your children, but how much .L.O.V.E you give them... And with that in mind, I know that each one of you will be awesome mothers!

~~~~small blessings~~~~
dear lord, it's such a hectic day
with little time to stop and pray
for life's been anything but calm
since you called on me to be a mom
running errands, matching socks
building dreams with building blocks
cooking, cleaning, and finding shoes
and other stuff that children lose
gitting lids on bottled bugs
wiping tears and giving hugs
a stack of last week's mail to read
so where's the quiet time I need?
Yet when I steal a minute, lord
just at the sink or ironing board
to ask the blessings of your grace
i seen then, in my small one's face
that you have blessed me
all the while
and I stop to kiss
that precious smile

Don't worry about it!! Millions of women have been first-time moms and done a wonderful job at it! I don't know anything about motherhood either. We will figure it out together!
