So i just confirmed with 3 at home pregnancy tests and a trip to the doctor that i am in fact pregnant AGAIN!!!!!! i am so nervous about everything. i know a couple of you have more than one child and are still young ( i just turned 20 and had Gabriel when i was 17 ) how do you handle all the stereotyping and unwanted attention that i am sure i am going to get? I am so nervous to tell my father. i just told my sister and she is telling me what a retard i am and i better have an abortion, i just really don't need that right now i just hung up in her face... sorry for the rant i really just don't know what to do!!!!
I don't have any kids yet, but I do know that you can be a great mother no matter what people say. There are plenty of mamas here who make it work everyday. There will always be people trying to bring you down, but you have to believe in yourself. Focus on yourself and being the best person you can be.
I know it's hard to tell your Dad. It was hard for me to tell mine. My Mom told him for me. I was just scared I guess. But, I can say that everything I've been through has made me stronger, as it will you.
As for your sister, don't listen to her. It's your decision to make, not hers. This is your life.
Maybe have your sister tell your dad? I know it was a lot easier for me to have my mom tell my step-dad and than wait for him to talk to me.
You still have plenty of time to make up your mind about this. It is all about you and no one else at this point! Do what you feel is best and block out everyone's opinions. The decision is yours hun. plz don't listen to your sister.. she isn't the one in your situation right now and really doesn't know how you are feeling!
There is no way to avoid stereotyping or and negative attention unfortunately but, it will honestly make you a much stronger person in the end...
There are tons of girls on GM that have been in the same situation and will defninitly be here whenever you need them!
please watch your language. Retard is a really offensinve term to use in a negative way.
Good luck on the telling.
Since your sister is being so negative about it..If I were you I wouldnt want her anywhere near me or dad when I was telling him....Write him a letter or call him up maybe...Good luck!
*And CONGRATS!! u'll be a great mom no matter what...and NO MATTER WHAT..there will always be a stereotype about someone or something..U just cant change how everyone thinks...Just ignore it and go on...*
when i was pregnant at 17 i had the hardest time when people were staring at me and when they say things. but you know your a good mom and anyone who tells you otherwise doesnt know you. you dont need to prove them anything, hold your head high and be the best mom you can be.
good luck sweetie
hmm.. i have no idea what i would do.. i think i would follow my heart..i dont no what that means for you but i think you need to weigh out the pros and cons..
