Hi,

I'm 19, & 8+3! I'll be 20 when I give birth!! I've had some funny comments already (as you can see from my post!!!)

I look young for my age, but I would class myself as mature! I have a long-term boyfriend, good job, car, house etc... So I think I'm more than ready to care for my child!

I would say I'm a young mum - but not in a bad way! I always wanted to be a mum in my early 20's! I think your more active when your younger. I'll be able to watch my kids grow up, & then be able to enjoy bein a Granma (in many years to come!) & enjoy my life in my 40's!!

Everyone in my area is having kids younger!!! I think the people who critise us, near to get with the times!!!

Hi all,
im 18 and expecting my 1st baby in Feb :)
I didn't plan on getting pregnant it and obviously it came as i complete shock and suprise to me and my boyfriend of four years, but now i'm 4 months we've got use to the idea and are looking forward to it!
I would say i'm going to be a young mum but i don't think that's a bad thing there are plenty of things avaliable to young mums now, like childcare for when i go to uni next year, i may have had to delay it a year but it's not the end of the world i can still go and i can have childcare paid for me, i think its great that so many things can be offfered to young mums.

Im 21 and was 20 when i had my son who's 1 now, i wouldnt say i was a young mum really, although some people might think i am. My sis had her son at 19 hes now 2 and shes now pregnant with her second baby so suppose it runs in the family as my mum was 20 when she had me and my sister then had my brother 2 years later, i think its lovely that my mum is still only 41. I know i wouldnt change havin my son at this age for the world i love him to bits and think having him it makes me feel so much older than i am anyway, it definatly makes you grow up. I think as long as you take care of and love your baby/babies who cares how old you are!!! x x

i'm 23 - OH is 24.

he'll be 25 in May, i'll be 24 in June.

I think if we had children right now i'd class us a young, but we're not going to start ttc until dec 09 so i guess by the time we actually do conceive and definiteky by the time we have a LO i'll just class us as being a normal age!

Hi! I fell pregnant with my daughter when I was 16, its only really now that I appreciate just how young I was. Funny thing is I'm 29 now and still tend to think of myself as a young mum!! I think I probably will when I'm 40 though lol.
I can remember when I was younger thinking that at 23 you became a "proper grownup", then that changed to 25, now I'm thinking 30. But my Brothers 35 and he says he thinks its 40, and my Mum says you never feel like a grown up, you just pretend to be lol.
