Hi I am a 16 yr old mother of beautiful identical twin boys that are 3 months old the thing that scared me the most was not what people thought but mostly about if my babys where going to be alright and they are perfectly healty its hard because now I have to think before I say "yea lets go to the movies on friday" I have to think who will watch the boys I am very happy that me and my boyfriend/ the twins dad are still together and love each other more and more everyday. Being a teen mom means nothing comes before you kids love ms. Kade

I was 19 (not exactly teen pregnancy) when I found out I was pregnant almost six years ago now and the thing that scared me the most was telling my dad. I knew my mum and dad would be supportive but I was a daddy's girl and didn't want to let him down which is what I thought I did. When I told my mum she hugged me and told me it was going to be alright and when I told my dad he held my hand and said it wasn't the end of the world (i'm very lucky to have both of them). After that not much scared me. Yes I worried if my baby was going to be alright (thankfully he was) and now I pretty much worry about him all the time like when he's in school, if he's making friends and hoping he doesn't get hurt.

Lots of people especially younger people get scared of what the birth is going to be like or how they are going to cope after the birth and will they make good parents. Money I think is a hugh issue aswell for teen mothers and coping on their own.

What scares me the most is losing the baby. I am 17 and I just found out I was pregnant about 2 weeks ago and im always worried about doing someting wrong and losing the baby...So now im always watching what I do and eating good foods.

Thank you for the replies! I love to read about your experiences...Because through all the stories i've read on the internet, the only thing I can conclude is that even it seems quite scary to be a teen mum...When the baby's here, it's the happiest thing ever! Hehe...Looking forward to it (by the way, i'm a 20 year-old french girl...Sorry I forgot to introduce myself:that's rude!) ;-)
