16 and wanting a baby

There will always be people who say wanting a baby so young is a bad idea. I fell pregnant with my 1st baby when I was only 16 - me and my partner were only together for 4 month. Now almost 6 years on we are still together very happy and I'm pregnant with our 3rd child.

It hasn't been easy. Far from it, but I wouldnt change it for the world. Loads of ppl say you haven't lived, you need to travel and so on but I have done without it. Traveling is not for everyone.

If you feel ready yourself and your boyfriend feels the same then good luck Very Happy

Don't feel intimidated by these who look down at you (I'm not saying that anyone on here is doing that btw)

i know you ahve been thinking alot about this but at 16 your life is a lot different it feels alot more closed - when you reach 20 a whole new world starts to open up and you may start to regret this choice - you can go uni, go clubbing, meet new people, you will have different friends -

i think alot of people may feel ready at 16 but when you get older you will realise you werent -

I know a lot of good young mums who love there children very much yet all of them would have waited if they could have had teh choice again
