hi i was 18 when i became pregnant with my very much wanted daughter and 19 when i gave birth,i own my own house and my partner earns a good wage so i dont have to work and we still live a very good life style, i have a very inteligent two and a half year old daughter i really dont belive that being a young mum is an issue as long as you are a good mum with your childs intrests at heart is all that matters i feel being a young mum i will be there for my daughter for longer and hopefully will be able to see her go through the changes in life i have hopefully one day she will become a mum and understand how much i love her a love you cant describe and only feel for your children i do feel very sorry for children with extreamly young parents and children with old parents but i guess thats life for you x

Hi, I'm 27, i'll be 28 by the time my baby arrives. My mum always told me that I would get to a time in my life when all I really wanted was a baby. I didn't understand what she meant at the time, but I do now! I don't think anyone has the right to judge anyone for being too old / young to have children, but the underage sex laws are there for a reason, but fair enough if you have the capacity and the means to provide for your child. I do hope the 63 yr old lady in the news has considered what it will be like for her child. My aunt is 13yrs younger than my mum and was unplanned, and I know she hated her mum being that much older than all the other mums and being asked if she was her grandma and stuff.

hi. Im now 21 (nearly)i was 17 when i discovered i was pregnant and 18 when i had my twin boys.

Hi im 26 years old and 24wks 2day first pregnancy due may 11th 07 and my baby boy will be here yippee!!! xxxxxxx

HI
I AM A MUMMY OF A 3 YEAR OLD AND EXPECTING NUMBER 2 IN SEPT... I AM 40!! I WAS A SUCCESSFUL CAREER WOMAN.. GOT MARRIED AND FELL FOR OUR HONEYMOON BABY IN 2003.. THOUGHT WE WERE NOW TOO OLD.. AND HEY PRESTO BABY NO 2 ON THE WAY! WE ARE HEALTHY, FINANCIALLY STABLE, OWN 2 PROPERTIES AND ARE THRILLED WITH THE NEWS! SO THEY SAY LIFE BEGINS AT 40.. IT IS FOR US!! ALL OVER AGAIN! ... LORRAINE X

i became a mum at 14 when i was drunk. i was going out with a lad and did not know what i was doing because i was drunk. i was in a good relationship with the father who was 17. he was born on 12 november 2003,we called him kieran. when i was 15 we then had nathan on 27th may 2004 he was planed. when i was 16 i had another boy on 27 september 2006 we called him joshua.by this time i was ,married to the father of all my children and went on the pill so i did not get pregnant again. however i found out i was 6 weeks pregnant. i had a scan last week and 2 our suprise i am expecting identical twins. i am also in my first year of 6th form as i still did my GCSE's and got 5A*'s and 5A's.people gave me funny looks for being so young but i don't care i would not change a thing. my husband can provide for us all now we r just thinking of another boy name and another girls name for the twins, because we want their sex to be a suprise, and because we did not know it was twins we only thought on 1 girls name 'Catlyn Patricia Lidijia Shales' and 1 boy name 'Benjamin Phillip Morgan Sheles'. i don't she why people shold think of me as a bad mum love my kids to pieces and they get lots of love and cuddles of me and hubby. so what is wrong with young mums. why do people think they are so bad can u answer my question.:\? thanks becky

hey becky, im 18 (17 when i fell pregnant) and due with my first baby in 23days, a little boy who will be called Blake Morgan Hart. my fiance is 30 and has a well paid job, so we can afford for me not to work. like you i got very good grades at gcse but my family were 'disappointed that i got pregnant so young',as they looked at it l;ike i was wasting my life - they are happy for me now though. however, i dont feel young and i certainly dont act young, my fiance and i are very much in love and looking for a house to buy at the moment. we are planning to get married after the baby is born. so i dont see anything wrong with having babies at a young age as long as you are mature enough to cope and you are supported financially, cos then all it takes is love and care which everyone is capable of be it at age 14 or 40!! and if you decide to have children at a younger age, then you can always go back to education when the children are older so you can have the best of both worlds! kim x x x

hi iam 34 and i have 4 children
i was with my oh for 3 months when i found out i was pregnant and Liam was born when i was 20.
I had saffron when i was 22 and i thought thats enough and i shut shop.
I then went on to have my lovely Ruby when i was 30 and alex when i was 33.
i am still with my oh even though people said we would not last because of having a baby so young and so early in the relationship and we are now ttc no5
i think as long as you love and care for your child and you are mature enough yourself it shouldent matter if you are 14 or 40

love leighxxx

Im 20 and will be 21 when my baby is 6 weeks old!!! I always wanted children young.....but this baby is about 3 years too early but will be loved more than anything!!!

I am 17, i have my first child by mistake at 14 when the dad was 17 i did not have an abortions as i told myself i never would. i am married to the dad and we have 3 children now but i am also 10 weeks pregant with the 4th and 5th children we are both so excited. Me and hubby live together in our own house and he has a good job. i am also in first year of A-Levels as at GCSE's got 5A*'s and 5A's.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I feel like i am the happiest person on the earth and on sunday it is my 1st wedding aniversary. i would not change a thing in my life, i may get funny looks for having 3 kids(will be 5) at my age but i don't care

Becky

good on you becky, i think you must be extremely intelligent and mature to do so well in your exams as well as bring up your children. i think you deserve nothing but respect for sticking to what you believe in (not having abortions), and im sure you are a better mum than some people are at 30. kim x x x

i am 16 nearly 17 baby due in 8 days have own house wiv b.f and he works really hard so i just fink it just depends on ur situation i fink abortions are so cruel and no baby deserves that i fink that if you get ur self into a situation itws ur responcabilty to cope i look after me b.fs daughter every weekend as well and her mum is older and is moniterd by social services but i cope with her daughter very well so obviously i am more capable than sum older ppl xxx

yes sometimes young mums can be just as capable or more capable than older mums. I am 17 and i have 3 children the oldest is 3 who i had when i was 14(unplanned)the me and BF planned the second which i had at 15 then we also planned our 3rd who was born on my 17th b'day. i got 5A*'s and 5A's at GCSE and i am in first year on 6th form. i am unexpected(as was on the pill) execting twinz and not many older mums go to work/collage(school) full time and look after a family.i live with my now hubby and it is our first wedding anniversary on sunday22nd april own house and OH father to all children) has a good job.

hi,
i m 21 with a 3 months old son...:\)

hiya na i dnt fink age matters im 16 and 10 weeks pregnant it was a real shock when i fount out but i am gting used to the idea now! and my midwife is putting me through to the young mums 2 be course to help a little bit xxxx

It all depends on the individual really. I put my hands up to you xxZOxx, I wouldnt have been able to cope at 16, i was far too imature at that age. My preg (i'm 17weeks) was a big surpise too.. it took me a while to get used to the idea and now i'm so so excited. If i was choosing a time to be preg i think i'd have given myself another 3 years. Though i love my bump and wouldnt change it now for the world!

oh yeah... forgot to say... i'm 26 (pregnancy forgetfulness!)

Hi, i'm 31 and have 2 girls ages 10 years and 6 weeks. i had my first girl when i was 20 (unplanned) and split from her dad when she was 3. Then i met the man of my dreams 4 years ago, we got married last year, live in the house of our dreams and we have a baby girl 6 weeks old. Life couldn't be happier!! xx

im 21 and happily pregnant and living with my partner. we are both very excited and he is being so supportive,a s is my family, as i finish my degree. i also work in an early years setting supervising a baby unit sohopefully i am mentally prepared for my baby's arrival. i dont think im too young and actually feel offended when people ask how old i am or comment that im too young... is that just me girls? holly xxx

im 17 and am really happy although i wish i had waited till i was a little bit older i am 22 weeks pregnant i think you should have a baby as you dont want to leave it to late and it will be an experience you will never regreat
