Then your family sucks. That child is a blessing from God, and the fact that you had him and are taking care of him speaks for itself. I'm 22 and my dad thinks im a screw up for having a child, so you just have to literally ignore them when they bring you down. I haven't spoken to my dad in about 3 weeks now cause you know what ? I don't need any criticism. The world is tough enough without loved ones bringing you down. I am proud of you, all you need to do is keep taking life by the balls and going for your dreams. It's all about you and that handsome little man now. Congrats!

I am glad you have your little baby boy too! Your world has been turned upside down because you just had a baby. Now what you need is support from your loved ones not stress.
Is their any kind of services in your area that you can go to for support? This would be great for you. Please check out teen mom programs. Maybe your pediatrician can help. When is your next appointment?? make a list of questions for the nurse. They can help you. Better yet just go and start asking questions about support groups, teen mom programs. If your family at home will not help you, its up to you to make a great life for you both.
Your obviously a strong person with a good head on your shoulders because you made a hard decision that effects the rest of your life. I commend you on this. Do not let them get you down. Go somewhere thats a positive place for you.
I wish you all the luck in the world!

don't hate yourself or that baby! you did nothing worng. we all make mistakes and all we can do is learn from them, try not to do it again and move on. just continue to pursue a higher education so that you can provide for yourself and that baby. use their negative comments and ways as fuel to make YOU do better. and get on some birth control ASAP. it's a hard enough struggle trying to do so much with one baby don't burden your self down anymore by having another baby and that is pretty much in your hands, it;s your body! i know it's hard but believe me you will get through this. you and your family are in my prayers! good luck!

AND DO NOT GIVE YOUR BABY UP FOR ADOPTION. NOT ONCE IN YOUR POST DID YOU MENTION ABOUT NOT WANTING HIM! IF YOU DIDN'T HAVE AN ABORTION WHY WOULD YOU GIVE HIM UP FOR ADOPTION. JUST TRY TO MAKE GOOD DECISIONS AND MAKE THE BEST POSSIBLE LIFE FOR YOU AND YOUR BABY!

Your life has changed dramatically as you can see with a baby now and I imagine your family wanted a different life for you than to be a mother at 18 and it sounds like unmarried. I'm sure they just want what's best for you and the baby. Are you married? Not my business, but curious, why didnt you consider putting the baby up for adoption where he could have a better life in a stable 2 parent home that can fully provide for the baby? A friends 19 yr old daughte, unmarried had a baby in March and chose to put him up for adoption since she knew she could not give the boy the life he deserves, she found a very caring and loving home for him with a Mom and Dad. In your blog you said that everyine hates you I don't beleive that but your family now realizes how hard your life will be now I bet. Do you have a way to support the baby, is the father helping? if not you need to look into getting child support from him to help feed,clothe and provide for your baby. You need to make some plans for you and the babies future. Do you have a a job or can you get one to support yourself and the baby? Is there a nice relative that can care for the baby while you work? I would not hate myself if I were you, you have a baby to live for now and that is your number one responsibility now. If things are really tough for you I personally would still consider looking into putting the baby up for adoption if you can not properly care for him but there is a certain degree of maturity and selflessness you have to have to make the decision that is in the best interest of the baby and not you.. You are so young and the baby deserves a good family life. With blessings to you and your baby.
