  16 and pregnant. Reply Contact yup its really true. im a 16 year old mommy to be. im about 10 weeks today. I was on anti psycho medication that was too strong for the new baby. i had to stop taking the pills that i was swallowing down my throat for a year. My body was so use to it, that when i stopped them my body just acted very hard to it. I was throwing up so much and couldnt sleep. I was diagnosed with BI poler, ADHD, depression, and a little Anxiety. My gynecologist said i had a choice to take them or not, but there would be risks. Me, not wanting anything wrong i had stopped them because i am not taking any risk. now its been about 2 months i have been off them. it has made my life is so hard. i miss the father of my unborn baby. he is a young teen himself trying to cope with not seeing the first and the new love of his life. (Me and the new baby). I mean we WERE still in high school. BUT ON JUNE 4 Of THIS YEAR, he is graduating out of highschool while IM still a FRESHMAN now going to get my G.E.D. its been going down hill but i look at the positives. hopefully time will tell when i will be seeing him again, we live close to each other,and he lives a street away, but like you can already tell, My mom and family were hurt to find out that their youngest baby of the family is pregnant. They say it was hard to believe. but they all support me by LOVING me either way. Im 16. and he just turned 18. My mom thinks i should now think of me and The new little gift of God then think about him. He does not have a job, lives with his mother and cant really support the baby financially. he thinks he is able to do things himself. What do you think? well anyways, good luck and god bless to all you new mommy's to be, ♥ Victoria Elizabeth Benitez ♥

  Re: 16 and pregnant. Reply Contact You are definately very brave to be taking on this challenge! Maybe it would be a good idea to join a support group for young mothers in your area? The father of your baby will need to step up as well as yourself. Time for him to get a job and, like you, do some growing up. Your family sounds very supportive, which is a lot more than a lot of people can ask for - so congrats! I would talk to your doctor about stopping the meds you were on. I am sure there are other alternatives out there for you. Keep posting on here - there are a lot of women here that will definately suport you in the exciting (I know they seem terrifying) months to come! Private message me anytime! I am only 5 weeks along with my first as well.

  Re: 16 and pregnant. Reply Contact im 16 and pregnant to im due august 30th so that makes me 28 weeks and 4 days along. my babys father is 18 also and he will be 19 on the 13th of this month. he is curently at AT(anual training) for the military. i live with him and it sucks when he has to leave to do something for the military b/c im stuck at home by myself. your boyfriend needs to get a job and get an apartment. my brother is 19 and he lives with his grandparents and his girlfriend and daughter live with her parents and it makes there lives more stressful. so if ur parentsz dont mind u two should move in together. im having a baby girl and we are naming her anastasia. well i wish u luck and if u want to talk you can message me. hayley

  Re: 16 and pregnant. Reply Contact Hi congratulations and good luck with everything. I feel that what your mom said is kind of true you should definately think about yourself and the baby. I know exactly what you are going through I had my daughter when I was 16 years old, and a senior in highschool. It was very hard for me because my daughter was 10 weeks early and had to stay in the NICU for a month (even tho thats nothing for most babies). But you wouldnt even be able to tell that now. But Im pregnant with my 3rd and Im only 19 yrs old. But right now you need to be your main priority and then once the baby comes that baby will be your world and its guna be kinda wierd at first like wow I cant believe I have a baby but as long as you take care of yourself right now you will be fine. So GOOD LUCK and take care of yourself.
