I remember when I was told that I was pregnant the shock & fear I felt. Mainly because I had been told at the age of 20 that I wouldn't be able to have any children (you see I had cancer when I was 16 and had accepted I would never be a mum, and had found a million and one reasons why it would be good not to have another person depending on me). Though that wasn't the only reason for my shock and fear, I also thought "Oh my god, I'm almost 30 and on my own!" My ex didn't want anything to do with this child, and made it quite clear that if I was to go through with it, I was on my own and not to contact him! I didn't have a lot of time ...  Read the complete review

Being with my partner just under 2 years and having just left school the last thing i would of expected was to fall pregnant. But that's exactly what happened. I feel I did everything the right way though. There was no way I would ever have an abortion and looking after and raising this baby up to be a fantastic kid was the only way to go. I was 17 when I fell pregnant with my daughter but didn't find out until I was 18. I told all my side of the family the same day I found out. Hiding it from them wouldn't have made it any easier so I though best thing is to tell them all straight away. My partner on the other hand was more worried about telling ...  Read the complete review

I am proud Mum to Ryan James who we nickname Baby Boo. He was born in May 2008 after 12 long hours of labour but he was worth every minute of it! I always knew i wanted to be a Mum from a young age and when i met my partner at 15 (he is 5yrs older) i knew i had met the man i wanted to have my children with. We moved into our first home when i turned 17 and started trying for a baby. After 2 long years of trying to conceive, we had almost given up when i fell pregnant! I found out when i was 3weeks gone and was so excited! At 9 weeks we had a miscarriage scare which absolutely terrified me. I know all babies are special but my Boo felt extra special ...  Read the complete review

I have two children, well they are not exactly children as such now. My oldest being 22 with children of her own and my youngest the tender age of 15. I had my daughter, now 22, at the ripe age of 16 on December 16th 1986. She went through alot while she was younger but has turned out to be a strong independant woman in her own right. She was overweight, suffered with crooked teeth and had to have braces and wasn't the most fashionable girlie girl she was more of a tomboy so a perfect target for bullies. Her going through this however has forced her to become strong, and eventually love herself. I don't mean love herself as in being vein but she has grown into ...  Read the complete review

I am relatively new to motherhood in comparison to some who have written wonderful and insightful reviews in this section. My little boy is just 14 months old but already I simply cannot remember what life was like before he came along. My husband and I feel very blessed to have such a special little person in our lives. For us it was not straight forward in terms of starting a family. We had fertility issues, confirmed by our GP at after two agonising years of trying to conceive. We had resigned ourselves to the thought that we may never have any children of our own. We kept our minds open to the possibility of undergoing fertility treatment, yet at the same ...  Read the complete review
