Having a baby!

lillbet16lillbet16 Posts: 1 Just got here

I am 16 and pregnant. I’m 20 weeks gone and my parents know too. Neither of us can believe that I am going to give birth in a matter of months.

My boyfriend and I had con sexual sex but we our contraceptive failed. I am now going to have baby. I am really scared.

    firstly congratulations, as my dad always says, there are worse things than a little baby - meaning it can really be the making of some people.

    I think it’s natural to be scared though - it’s a massive life change particularly at your age. Have your family been supportive? I’m wondering if the boyfriend is still in the picture and supporting you too? It takes a village to raise a baby, I hope you have lots of support around you right now.
