Ladies, I need some advice. My pregnancy wasn't planned, I'm not married, and I'm only 23 so I can't…

I am only 19 with no job, started my first year of college, and am still having to depend on my parents. Yes my family was disappointed when I told them and I was disappointed with myself too. But once I heard her heartbeat, saw the sonogram, and felt her move, I knew she was the best thing in my life. The disappointment will go away believe me. You got this mama ❤

feeling like this is surprisingly normal, I was scared and nervous about everything when I found out but it all came together in the end, don't worry about what anyone else thinks about it it's your child and have your boyfriend to support you and that's all you need xx

Omg you ladies are amazing!!! It's so nice to hear that what I'm feeling is normal because I've been thinking that I'm crazy and I should be excited lol. @hanna_lynn @shanttc @mommy529

Haha bless yah it's fine, I was scared to tell my mum because she asked me a couple of weeks before I found out if I was pregnant and I said no so she held abit of a grudge to begin with because she was so set on the fact she thought I lied to her, and I was only 17 x

I was in the exact same situation especially since my family is super traditional I thought they would be so disappointed in me having a child at such a young age and out of marriage I thought they would disown me. And I'm still not exactly sure the person I'm with is the person I want to have a child with so I was a little disappointed in my self at first. But trust me that all goes away my family is beyond excited and supportive we're not the first ones and definitely not the last ones to get pregnant young or out of marriage, but at the end of the day none of that matters, when i hear the heartbeat and saw my ultrasound I felt like I was the happiest person in the world

You are not a disappointment. You and your boyfriend will make beautiful parents to the baby you will soon have. I went through the same thing with a lot of my family due to my husband and I being 19. Things may not happen at the time when we want or expect, but we have to take them and decide to thrive through and with it. I pray the best for you guys, and a happy and healthy pregnancy. Don't stress, enjoy this beautiful Blessing called pregnancy. God Bless!

That's exactly how I feel @j.desantiag09 my family is extremely traditional and I'm afraid they will view me as a disappointment because I haven't finished college and I'm not married. Without even seeing it as a blessing. Thank you @blessedmommy03 you're absolutely right! I need to thrive through it and I'm happy so many women alike have gone through a very similar experience. Thank you ladies for sharing and making me feel more at ease! ❤️❤️❤️

i was 19 when i first got prengnat no job and my husband now had no job no car nothing we started from the bottom and our lives our so much better and ready for our 2nd child ... my family did not judge us and stayed by our sides 100% everything will be fine and happy

Thank you and congratulations on both of your babies!! 😊 @Mel i2890

with our first son, I was 20 & in school. I was in denial for a good long month. I knew I was pregnant but my thought was more so, "what am I going to tell my mom? She's gonna be so mad. how do I explain to her I can still do school and have a baby? what would my friends think and my coworker's?" my boyfriend was more than happy to know, but he had no job at the time. I was working retail and by no means was I financially stable. my parents did not have a picture perfect relationship. I also thought I may end with a broken relationship. for a month I did not think of baby, but of me and how he or she would affect me, my world. it was not until later when I realized, "my mom was a kickass single parent. she raised me right. there is no need to freak out." yeah she yelled at me and told me her hopes and dreams were crushed. she also said a baby was too much and what was I thinking. I cried and cried, but my boyfriend said we would see this through. and sure enough our baby is turning 3, he's the light of this house and my mom is head over heels for him. I graduated college with my B.A and life couldn't be better. my boyfriend turned fiance has a great career and we are expecting our 2nd child.

your child is a blessing and you'll be a wonderful mama. don't doubt yourself or the relationship you have. if people talk about you, drop them from your life. you don't need that negativity. if your parent(s) get a little mad, so be it. eventually they will come to terms with it and once baby is here they won't even care or remember. BE HAPPY, HAVE FAITH AND KEEP PUSHING! there are lots of mommies on here willing to listen ❤😊

I was 19 and not married when I got pregnant with my daughter and now I'm 24 and engaged and pregnant again most deff not a disappointment im working and have my own house and car , my family is very old school and conservative but they were thrilled and overjoyed about the baby so they may suprise you girl
