hi gemma i know how it feels to be having a baby at a young age i fell pregnant when i was 16 and had my daughter a month after my 17th birthday. so i can understand how scared you are. but i'm sure even tho the dad of your baby is not involved i'm sure there are alot of people ther to help you. also i know how hard it is being young as you see your friends doing so much that you can't do now you are becoming a mum and that is hard. but i'm sure you will be fine as like i said ther are alot of people ther to help you and if you find it hard to talk to your family then your midwife will be there for you. i hope it all goes well
good luck x

hey im 15 and im expecting quads. i dont have the babies dad with me as i was raped. it was my first time and i didnt know i was expecting till i was 13 weeks, i am only 14 weeks gone now so its been a pretty messed up week but even though i am scared i know it will all turn out right in the end. i just think that soon i will have these beautiful babies that will be all mine to love.
i know that you'll be all right in the end

hey hun i was 17 1/2 when i started trying and i have just turned 18 and am still trying, there are many things that you can do, if you have family around im sure they will help you, the council can also help with money and also a place to live if you needed, hope all goes well xx

hey chick i know how you feel. i was 18 when i found out i was pregnant. wasn't on speaking terms with the baby's dad either and i was terrified. but i've found out that all expectant mum's feel exactly the same way no matter what age they are. when my son was born i loved him so much.. he's now almost 7 months and is doing great. don't worry about it too much .. everything just seem's to fall into place once the baby comes along. always here if you need a chat xx

Hi Gemma, I`m sorry that your going though this on your own........?
I know that your scared......? What about your famliy, friends could you talk to them or even your midwife. I hope that their is someone in you life to help you though this stress full time.Have you you thought about what you could be entitled too?

Are you working if so you could get tax credits. Their are quite a few that would help you money wise at lest then thats one thing off your mind.

Hi Gemma, I`m sorry that your going though this wonderful moment in your life on your own........?
I know that your scared I`am too as I`m 21 years old, 15 weeks and its my first baby. But I have famliy, friends to talk too? You don`t say if your mum could be their for you or even if you could talk to a mate about this?
Take care Katexx

hi gemma my names charlotte i had my son when i was 16 and discovered i was pregnant at 15 when i was 27 weeks gone and had split up with my partner 4 months before on really bad terms and when told him i was pregnant he simply just put to me i want a dna test when i was in tears to him on the phone and he new i had only ever been with him. from this point on i knew i was alone and was really scared about what people would think about me and how i was going to cope on my own and was really depressed through most of my pregnancy. when i visted my midwife she was really good and advised me on what to do and where to get help which was really reasuring and i a found out that having a baby so young and on your own is not the end of the world. when my son arrived i thought he was the most beautiful little boy in the world and all my troubles went away. my son alex is now one and i can't really beleive its been a whole year it seems like yesterday that i was worrying about motherhood and if i was going to be a good mum and i have found it is possble to do it alone at such a young age i am not saying that this past year has been easy cause motherhood is a learning experience and it can take some time to get your life back on track. i am now 17 and heading to college i want to progress on with my education so i can get a good job and support my son on my own with out benfits. my partner still refuses to see his son and i now know how much of a horrible person he really is as since we have split hes on fiancee number 2 and realised that i came off better with out him and have moved on my self.

just remember it may seem hard now but i bet in a yr and 6 weeks you will be looking back and thinking i can really do it and may find someone new that loves you and your little one and possibly giving someone who is in the same situation as you advice on what to do.

so good luck and if you need anything just ask i will be happy to help xxx
