Advantages: loads

Disadvantages: u get judged by everyone....

i am a mother of three, i had my first baby at 18, i had been with my boyfriend for nearly 2 years we were happy and lived together, we both worked full time 6 days a week and when i missed a period - even though i was attually on the pill... we were both over joyed!!
i was suprised at some peoples reactions - 'are you aborting it' (i do not believe in abortion - well not in my case) and 'you cant have a baby your too young' i couldnt believe people were judging me... i even had to have a 'young mum midwife'
i was 18... i was legally an adult... i could get married without consent, vote, gamble, drink alcohol, got to clubs, get a morgage or a loan, a credit card - but in peoples opinion too young to carry a baby for 9mths, give birth, nurse it, love it and care for it and teach it.
being a mum came completely natural to me. i am a good mum and my children have all they need - i stay at home because i believe i should be the one to teach them the things they need to know not a childminder (but thats a whole new debate lol... going there next!) and my other half works full time.

i am NOT saying.... i completely agree with teenage pregnancy, all im saying is that we are not all benefit skanks and irresponsible silly girls and that some people should be a little more open minded and not asume we have all made the biggest mistakes of our lives....
i wouldnt change the way we did things for the world, i may have missed out on a bit of partying and heavy drinking but is that such a bad thing?
id rather of had kids now whist i have the energy and stamina! i cope just as well as a mum who is 10 years older.
